TERRIBLE
RIOTS IN
GERM',Il
MORE THAN 70 INJURED IN
THE MOABIT lots, WHICH
ARE THE 'fD- ST IN YEA Rs
POLICE ~ SHOOT TO KILL
III RICTiNG Is RESUMED.
UNITED PRESS '.EAsnn WIRE. !

lin. Sept. 29.--The newspap-
Z i of Berlin, particularly those Of
the Moab't section, which has been
racked with strikes and riots, today
called upon the authorities to use
the blood and iron" treatment for
the purpose of preventing further
outrages.
The rioting last night was the
worst in many years and it is feared
that the disorders may surpass the
socialist disturbances of southern
Germany, in which many persons
were killed. The police estimated
today that 700 persons were injured.
Many of the wounded are in hospi
tails here in a precarious condition.
The injured include police, strikers
and sympathizers. Four American
newspaper correspondents received
slight cuts and severe bruises from
sabers in the hands of the mounted
police.
Echoing Police Commissioner ia
COWS order to suppress the disturb
ances without mercy, one newspaper
says:
"The saber having proved made
quate, let us have the bullet"
1t is believed that this paper takes
its cue from the commissioner, who
is quoted as saying that the police
will shoot to kill if rioting is re-
sumed tonight.
The damage to property already
reaches $25O,OOO in the three sue
cessive nights of rioting. It is pre-
dicted that the threats of the police
will have little effect on idle thou
sands, although the authorities have
increased the force stationed in the
disturbed precinct. Strike leaders
conferred today to devise means OF
preventing further conflict.

British Developing the Jungle and Remaking Nation Among the Ma

Johore where the progress is by no
means SO great. but in the Federated
States he will find towns which have
sprung up i'm the jungle and public build
ings equal to those of Japan and India.
But first let me tell you what these
states are. If you will take your map of
Asia and look at the Malay peninsula.
you will see that 1t begins almost on the
equator and runs thousand miles or SO
northward. the upper part belonging to
Siam. About four or five hundred miles
from the straits these British possessions
begin. At the top is Perak. not as big as
New Jersey, and farther down the coast
Selangor and Negri Sembian. which COM
rak, while east of them lies the big prov
ince of Pnhang. which is almost as large
as Massachusetts and New Jersey COM
bined. The four states altogether have
more than 10000 square miles, or about
900 more than West Virginia.
Each state is ruled by native sultan
with a British official as resident adj

the Britisher pulls the string. Under the
sultan are numerous native officials. the
most of whom have English agents to
help them, the whole government being
similar to what the Dutch have in Java
The common people think they are ruled
by Malays. but the better classes know
that the British are the real power be-
hind every office and that John Bull is
king.
These sultans live in great state. Their
uniforms are decorated with gold leaf
They have gold-hilted swords, and when
they go about they have servants who
carry gorgeous umbrellas to shield them
