The World has the following editorial ON
the Berlin mob:
THE Berlin mob rioted again yesterday.
and the Emperor was very an-ry.
The sudden appearance of the mob ought
to show the Emperor into what powder
magazine his match was thrown.
Germany is full of discomfort. Its Work
ingmen are pressed down by the weight Of a
great burden. Many of them are suffering
from the direst poverty from absolute want OF
] food
They are intelligent enough to know that
the political system under which they live Is
chargeable with much Of this suffering.
Although the enormous standing army may
DO made necessary by the armed nations that
surround Germany. the Discontinued people
] know that the crowned heads, among
! them their own Emperor, are primarily re-
| sponsible. The army IS q terrible drain on
/ the people, and the economic conditions of
! Germany are as crude as the Emperor him.
self
This sudden and unprecedented rising
| Of the Berlin wOrkngmen would teach more
intelligent person than the Emperor that hls
country is in dangerous condition"
