All Germany Shaken
By Food Controversy
Newspapers Take Sides, Some
Declaring Localities Are
Pampering Workers
frr Cnhl. 70 tho Courier DIS bats Cnsl

rBy Gable 70 the Courier GS HaS lhr-
PARIS, Dec. 2S.-Germany is IN the
throes Of a great and acrid debate on
the food question. 1t started with the
exposure by the "Vorwaerts' Of the
fact that the Berlin suburb Neu
Koeln was buying food illegally to
keep its workmen in good physical con-
dition and satisfied with their lot. Now
all the other newspapers have Joined
in the controversy.
The most interesting thing in the
dispute is the fact that no one denies
the gravity of the situation.
The "Deutschc Zcitung" says: "A
very grave hour threatens the German
people" "Vorwacrts" comments: The
Won Waldow system has proved a
failure.
"The hour is so grave, the differences
20 be harmonized so dangerous, that
the first precaution demanded is that
we promise each other to keep calm"
The critics are divided into two
classes, those who believe radical
change Of system is absolutely neces-
sary TO prevent catastrophe and
those who believe a change would pre-
cipitatc a catastrophe. But the embar-
rassment of the government is mani
fest and Won Waldow's position is pre-
caTiOus.

Out of L. |. Court

HICKSVILLE, Long Island, Dec. Is
Three hundred farmers and townsfolk
crowded excitedly into the Ilicksville
courthouse to-day, when five residents
of this township were placed on trial
charged with melting TO riot. Disorder
resulted when state policemen testified
against the accused men. Justice OF
the Peace Steinert raped in vain for
order, and finally ordered the police
and county officials to Gust the disturb
ers. With drawn revolvers, the pro-
testing farmers were driven from the
courthouse TO the street, where they
held an impromptu mass meeting TO
protest against the persecution" Of
their neighbors.
The alleged offenders were arrested
three nights ago after a street battle
between troops, police and townsfolk
i1 which several shots were fired and
numerous heads bruised. The trouble
started when William Duffy, farmer,
refused 20 comply with a police in
junction TO light the rear lamps of his
Duffy. it is alleged, refused 10 accept
a summons from the policeman, and
with friends gave battle TO the police.
Troops stationed here were called to
assist in reestablishing order, but with
them came other townsfolk 20 the de-
icnce Of Duffy, and the police were
forced TO retreat to their station house.
Duffy. Christian Brengel. Herman
Olcnloch. Adolph LAUGH and Charles
Van Winkler later received warrants to
appear this morning.
Decision vas reserved to-day and the
men bound over until Friday next.
Further trouble is feared tomorrow.
