Village Making Protest Against
Food Extortior.

PARIS, Aug. 2.-Processions of wo-
men. some OF them 1000 strong. were
held this evening In tfe cities and
towns of Northern France protesting
against the high prices of provisions.
AT Lille. Cambria. Douai, vaienciennes,

places a species of anarchy prevails be-
cause the police are insufficient to pro-
tect the dealers of food from the de-
structive impulses Of the people.
The professions in some of the north
ern departments are marching from
village to village. and running over
farms n damaging dairies and vege-
table gardens to Indicate their sense
OF grievance against the high cost of
food. AS each village Is descended
upon the ranks Of the manifestants are
steadily augmented and occasional in
cidents are reported OF conflicts be-
tween the marauders and farmers
armed with pltchforks.
