Special Cabegram to The Star
BERLIN, October while Germany
comparatively few years ago was one of
the countries in Europe where living was
cheapest, the rise in the cost of all the
necessaries of life has recently been enor-
nous and is telling severely on all classes
in the empire, except the very wealthy.
Meetings of protest and suggestions are
now being held almost daily in every
town and city.
The pressure is felt most by the poorer
classes, who must buy at retail and in
small quantities, but it is rapidly at
fecting the middle classes. A woman of
the working class tells me that while two
years ago she could keep herself. her
husband and his aged mother on S.; a
week. she has now to spend nearly s. for
the same amount of food.
Two friends of mine who live together
in Berlin and hold good positions tell me
their weekly bills for housekeeping have
risen in the last year by at least one
third.
Take the case of bread alone. Last
year the working classes got six pounds
of bread for 10 cents, while now they
get only four pounds for the same money.
Other necessaries have risen. some more.
Some less but the result on the whole.
especially when the increased pressure of
taxation is taken into account. is to
arouse feelings that sooner or later are
bound to find expression in tumults, if
not violence.
AS to the causes and remedies, opinions
differ. Popularity the rise is believed to
be due to the new taxes imposed in 1909
and the proagrarian policy of the govern
ment. There is a general demand, there
fore. for diminution of the duties on
foreign grains, for throwing open tine
frontiers for the admission of Argentine
meat, and in some quarters for a cam
paign against the cartels which CORE
Spond here to the trusts in america. At
the present moment each city is anxious
ly celebrating the local measures it can
adopt to lessen the evil as it affects the
poorer part of their populations.

Germany Alarms Belgium.

The Belgian press is giving voice to
the anxiety that is being felt in that
country as to the future of the Belgian
Kongo in the light of recent events 1t

creating a German kingdom extending
from the Indian ocean to the Atlantic a
scheme which the French compensation

Germany from France for free hand in

north of the kon2o well.
The Belgian papers fear Germany will
snatch tie Belgian kongo. which she now
almost surrounds. She has great facili-

sig hte dness of her ministers Belgium
has allowed the German Bremen-Ham-

gain her own ends-would leave Germany
the master OF the situation.
The Petit Bieu points out that, owing
to the number of German banks estab-

way in which German trade is pushed,

Obvious Peril to Europe.
The most obvious peril TO Europe
brought about by the Turco-italian war
lies in the condition of Turkey herself
The new regime has been hopelessly dis
credited by recent events and may at
any moment fall in a tempest of popular
execration. Abdul Hamid is probably as
heartily detested by the mass of the peo-
pie as is the committee of union and
progress.
The Young Turks were repeatedly
warned by Austria of the necessity of
setting their house in order in Tripol
and removing the just grievances under
which the Italians suffered in that prov
ince. They paid no attention whatever
to the advice and neither attempted to
deprive Italy of a preteXt for Intervention
nor put the province In a condition to re-
sist attack. Instead, they led their coun-
try straight into the trap prepared for
her. with the result that they completely
lost the confidence of the nation.
At Constantinople all has been con-
fusion ever since the war began, the
whole government machine running sim
ply by its own momentum. without
guiding hand to regulate il. This. of
course, is situation that cannot last
and there is danger that at any time the
moment may come when the powers must
step in. No one wants to see the eastern
question reopened at this moment, Tor

Higher Price for Beer.

ROundly. about a dozen principal kinds
of beer are brewed in Germany. OF these,
two in particular are favorites; that of
Munich. dark, and that of Piisener, light,
The potency Of each Is about the same,
Munich beer being, if anything, slightly
the stronger. Pilsener beer comes from
town of like name In Bohemia, and
as the consumption in Germany is enor-
nous the news that the PilSener brewers
have decided to raise the price by from
80 to - cents a caSk of twenty-five gal
Ions has caused a veritable sensation in
the fatherland. The sentiment is all the
stronger inasmuch as a similar rise in
price took place only a few years ago.
Hitherto the German cafe and saloon
keeper has given the thirsty customer a
glass containing four-tenths OF a quart
for 10 cents. and if the papers are to be
believed the public will steadfastly re-
fuse to pay more for its glass than be-
fore. The result is that the retailer is
meditating a decrease in the size of the
glass and consequently in the amount of
beer. With the German public facing this
painful state OF things two suggestions
are being discussed with more less
warmth. boycott of the genuine Pilsener
or wider use of the many imitation
Pilsener beers brewed in Germany.
The rise in the price of all household
provisions is bad enough: 1t has caused
wrinkle of many previously smooth femi-
nine brows: and the thought of dearer
beer is equally unwelcome to the maScu-
limo mart of the community.
