RoyaIists Recapture RhineIand

Aix-la-Chapelle.-The Rhineland re-
public is virtually dead as far as AK
la-Chapelle is concerned, after two
days of a precarious existence.
The loyalists have recaptured all
the buildings in Aix-la-Chapelle held
by the separatists, except the provin-
cial government building, and, failing
the arrival Of reinforcements sum-
moned from Crefeld, the building
probably will be evacuated during the
night.
The %separatists also have been de-
feated at a number of places where
they established themselves two days
ago, including Judlich, Muenchen-
Gladbach, Neuss and Mayence.
The recaptures were attended with
a certain amount of bloodshed, but the
worst fighting took place in AK,
where a number of persons were
killed or wounded when the rival par
ties battled for two hours.

SITUATION
MORE DESPERATE
BETWEEN HUNGRY MODS
AND POLICE
BREAD ALMOST UNOBTA|NABLE
Starvation Riots Reported From Fifty
Points; Loaf of Bread Costs
100 Billion Marks

Berlin.-Food rioting, the pillaging
Of shops and potato fields and the in
evitable sanguinary clashes between
the hungry mobs and police, continue
to be the outstanding features of the
news published in Germany. Reports
from more than 90 points give an inn
pressive c-ross-Sectional view of the al
most cataclysmic social situation, in
which all classes Of the population are
apparently being gradually engulfed.
The recurring dearth of bread and
potatoes is the universal source of
rioting and such relief measures as the
government hastily devises invariably
founder on the price confusion caused
by the rapidly d%eteriorating currency.
Berlin was again the scene of boist-
erous rioting, crowds storming the
bakeshops and public markets in va
rious parts of the capital. About a
thousand men, women and children in
vaded the municipal potato fields in
the eastern suburbs and when these
were exhausted, proceeded to loot
private premises. The police were
forced to intervene and, in the ensuing
disorders, a boy of Is was shot dead
and a little girl seriously wounded.
Reports from a half dozen mining
in the Ruhr indicate that the
food situation there is daily becoming
more chaotic, continually calling for
armed Intervention by the local au-
to put down the outbreaks.
The mid-German, east Prussian and
districts and the harbor cities
are also contributing regular quotas
IF riot news in connection with the
,ood situation, which is invariably
complicated by the discrepancies be-
the current prices and the
wages as paid in paper marks.
A loaf of bread, which cost 50,O00,- n
100000 marks two days ago, could
lot be purchased now for twice that I,
and only limited supplies were
valuable. :
