London, Dec. ga Rotterdam dis
patch to the Exchange Telegraph Com
pany says that there were food riots
in Dresden on December II, IS and 10,
especially on the 10th, when troops
were called to help the police in sup

the closing of several food shops on
Sunday because they were without
stocks.
The dispatch says the women stoned
the shops on Sunday and then marched
through the streets, but the police did
not interfere. There was another pa
rade on Monday, when the paraders
passed the kings palace shouting for
food. Several women are said to have
been arrested for using insulting lam
guage about the king. The disturb
ances were renewed on Tuesday, when
sharp fight occurred in which 100
women and three policemen are re-
ported to have been involved. The
soldiers then charged the crowds and
cleared the streets.
