FOOD RIOTS IN SPAIN
General Strike Leads to Suspension
OF Retail Business

Of Retail Business
Madrid. March 3-Disturbances
over the food situation, which began
with a strike of the Madrid bakers,
have developed into a general strike
in consequence Of which all retail
business has been suspended. while
rioting of Il serious nature has de-
vclopcd.
The strike began with the bakers
because of the high price Of flour and
quickly extended into other branches
of trade, finally resulting in a gen
eral stoppage of work, the suspension
of business and the closing of all the
stores. The demonstrations resulted
in struggles with gendarmes who were
endeavoring to break up the crowds.
In the suburbs the police were unable
to suppress the disorders and the sit
uation in these districts is grave.
The failure of the municipal au-
thorities to maintain order caused the
mayor of Madrid to resign.
A Madrid dispatch received We'd
nesday night reported strikes and dis
turbances in most of the provinces
of Spain as result of the increas-
ed cost of food, general strike hav-
ing been proclaimed in Valencia and
serious rioting having taken place
there.

TEUToNs DECIMATED D
Former Minister Hanotaux Says
Present onensive is Last Germany
), viii Attempt.

L
of great violence, both artillery and
infantry, have been resumed to the
north of Verdun, The official state
ment issued by the French War OF
fee last night says that furious in
fantry assaults have been repulsed
by the French troops. "whose fire de-
cinlated the ranks of the enemy"
: The attacks were directed against
Cote Du Poivre, lie Mott Homme
and in the region of Fort Douaumont.
Gabriel Hanotaux, former French
Minister of Foreign Affairs, in dis
cussing the new German offensive
said:
"With their Verdun offensive the
Germans are taking up their cam
paign against France just where they
'ef.. off at the battle of the Marne
al don't know whether it is true
that General Won Deimling told the
18th Corps that this was to be the
last anti-French offensive, but the
assertion expresses an exact verify.
Germany has arrived at that point
where she is bound to make up her
mind to use her remaining resources.
I learn from the most reliable source
that during the last visit of the King
of Sdxomy to his troops the officers
surrounded himiant told him the wsr
must be quickly finished and that the
soldiers would be unable to undertake
new campaign.
"The Kaiser is at bay and has to
save the country and himself. At a
recent Potsdam council he obtained
the opinions of Hindenburg, Mack
ensen, Haesseler and Deimling on the
situation.
The German chiefs saw the Rus.
sian front consolidated, the Cars
armies reconstructed and assuming a
victorious offensive at different
points. German effort in this theatre
would lead nowhere. Many months
would have to pass before decision
against the Russians could be obtain
ed.
an the Balkans Germany would be
only working for the benefit of the
Bulgarians, who are unable to make
fresh effort for themselves. Saloni-
ki was seen to be impregnable
Greece was veering and Roumania
was no longer sure.
"In the direction of Egypt and Asia
the game. was up. Through the cap
ture of Erzerum Turkey had already
become a. dead weight.
"Thus Germany was forced to look
toward France The blow had to be
delivered before spring should bring
the new Russian and British armies
into line, before the Austro- German
powers should undergo further de-
cline, before the peoples should lose
courage and the spirit of resistance
before the Allies should really be-
gin to smash Prussian militarism.
Every hour. every minute decides
the result of this last, desperate gam
hlcr's throw. The Kaiser stands in
volvcd not only before history but
before his own people. He continues
TO lead his people to butchery. To
save himself, he orders supreme
massacre.
But the hour has struck. Verdun
brings, no luck to the Prussian dyn-
aSty,
"To Won Deimling's alleged asser.
tion that this is the last, offensive, /
will add the statement recently made
to me by one of our greatest leaders. =
"lt is better so. Let them attack
We are ready for them"

! Many people cannot digest or assim-

flaming Cod Liver Peptone made

Einol is non secret and. in our
opinion, superior to old-fa shioned
cod liver oil and emulsions. because
while it contains all the medicinal
value they do, unlike them Vinol is
deliciously palatable and agreeable
! to the weakest stomach.
I We feel that medical practitioners
who once prescribe Vinoi will do so
continuously. as under its treatment
patients gain strength and put on
flesh almost from the start

This is one of the many frockS SHOWN
this season that are in appearance

which causes this illusion is made one
with the frock by joining at the

skirt is attached. The skirt fastens in
visibly at the left side-front. where the

1t would be easily possible to max

having the jacket entirely detacha BILE.
in which case it should have lining of
its own, and joining the skirt to a
dainty blouse of Georgette in white or
flesh tone.
There is a strong fancy for striped
fabrics this season. Striped fabrics are
used for suits, dresses and separate
skirts. and many dainty sheer fabrics
printed or woven in striped patterns of
any width. from the tiny hair-line
stripe to the bold awning design, are
used for blouses or separate waists

him quite sick. He rolled over and

Reddy had to confess he didn't know
He was nowhere in sight and he GER

The New Skirt Drapery.

The sketch which is given today has
significant skirt. because the drapery
is nearly twice as long as the lower
skirt and is cut to points at its lower
edge. these points turned upward to the
waist and run through slightly stiffen-
ed loops of black velvet ribbon. Look
well into this method of finishing the
waist line. for it is especially new and
attractive.
I think Callot originated the idea of
lifting. the upper drapery back from
hem to waist line. and it has been used
on coats and one-piece frocks of thin
material. as well as two draperies over
opaque skirts.
