French Revolution.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Whiper.
1ngs OF revolution, a repetition of the
French, sounded in cries of hunger
IN this city today when the tide of
food rioting swelled into looting,
which was the order of the dav.
Stores in the poorer vicinities present
face of broken windows and loosen
ed doors gaping to interiors OF dis
order. Cordons of police surround
ed the territory known as the Great
White Way and squads are placed at
points convenient to the celebrated
cabarets and eating houses of the
district in anticipation of demonstra-
tions by agitators and starved peo-
pl. Many have heads bandaged and
some are in hospitals as result of
the rioting and plundering.
Marie GAM, the girl union labor
agitator and prominent leader in the
food riots, defied the police, in ad-
dresses calling on the people to start
something like the French revolu-
tion." She asserted thousands of
homes had not even bread to give
hungry children.
A meeting has been announced by
the anti-high priced league, asking
100000 members to meet in Madison
Square Garden tomorrow. The cry
for government assistance continues
while among suggestions made is
that RELIEF be donated from all parts
of the nation, as is done in cases of
great disasters.
