Germany Must Increase Food Prices
IBv the Associated Press.]


Berlin, March 14.-Arrangements for
foreign credit is only pat of difficult
financial problem confronting Germany
in connection with the supply OF food
from abroad. The price Of various
foodstuffs, particularly cereals on the
world markets is so high compared
with the maximum prices which Ger
many maintained on rationed food
stufrs during the war that some meth
Cd must be found to make up the dif-
ference in the cost if the price of bread
is to be within the reach of the work
ing men, the smaller saiaried classes
and those vita fixed small incomes.
The constant strikes, and disconten.
Of labor which are the breeding GROUND
for disorder and worse are caused
largely by the inability OF the poorer
classes to meet the cost OF living on
present wages. The government IS
aware that if the price % bread, which
,is now so to 60 pfennings for two
pound loaf, is increased three or four
times, the entire laboring class and
many Of the lower middle classes
might swing over into 5oishevism.

london. March 17.-Special dis
patches from Berlin report that the
suppression of the recent Spartacan
outbreak there has shown that a mill
taly, and monarchistic reaction is
growing and overshadowing the new
government.
The Berlin. correspondent Of the
Mail. Who, on Feb. {, sent a. dispatch
outlining the plans for monarchial
uprising in Berlin, has arrived in Lon
don, having left Berlin March l. after
a residence tn ere of three months. He
reiterates the Statement. made in his
dispatch, saying that President Ebert,
Chancellor Scheidemann and Minister
of War Noske are merely puppets, He
declares that for the purpose of re-
tanning power they have allowed mill
tary caste to reappear ar organizers
of the new republic armies.
These men are the real governors
of Germany" he says. They make
the edicts and Chancellor Scheidemann
and his colleagues willingly sign
them"
More Trouble Inevitable.
Similar testimony is given by other
correspondents in telegraphing from
Berlin, some stating that the capture
Of the suburb Lichtenberg has been in
tentionally prolonged with a view to
eyterminating the Spartacans, whose
treatment at he hands of government
troops fs said to be sharply condemned
while alleged atrocities are attributed
to the Spartacans, details Of which
have been given. are doubted or denied.
Even the Vorwaerts admits them to be
much Exaggerated. The correspondents
concur in the statement that extreme
bitterness has been created against
the government troops and that fur
ther trouble is inevitable.
According to n dispatch to the Mail
the Spartacan revolt will certainly re-
curr in ever-increasing force unless a
miracle happens. 1t adds that Herr
Noske's forces Ikrve been recruited by
5ribes and promise of big rations. and
to this may be attributed some OF the
food shortage in Berlin.
