only suggestion so far made that net

proposal to find and open up foreign

GER MAN MASS
IN PATHETIC
CONDITION
Many Old People 60 Upon
Streets for Alms-Many
Unemployed
HAD GOOD CROPS
People Indignant at Reichstag
Realize Failure of
Resistance

Berlin, Dec. 5-While politicians
bubble and delay, the German
masses starve or live on insufficient
rations. Unemployment grows at
rapid rate and millions of Germans
face winter of want and Erivation.
Berlin and other cities and towns
have established municipal kitchens.
Limited quantities of free fuel are
provided for by cards. But the meals
and the fuel are dependent upon
cards whose issuance is irregular and
shares the general disorder WHICH
has spread throughout the control Of
food supplies.
With the adjustment of the bread
card and the subsequent rise Of Ger
man blackbread to figures which are
fantastic in comparison with the un-
employment doles, the situation be-
came more acute than ever and gave
political agitators their opportunity
TO incite riot.
The condition of the unemployed is
pathetic in the extreme. BY degrees
the old people, many of them middle
class, have been forced to go upon
the street for aims.
But the rioters are not of this class
for the most part. 1t is the young
sters, many of them Communists,
and many Of them not Germans, who
have organized the riots. However,
the grounds for violent demonstra-
tions against officialdom are 80 valid
that the extremists have the SYM
pathy, if not the actual support, of
men and women of nearly all classes.
Charges that the demonstrations
Moscow have not done much to soft
en- the bitterness of the German pub
lics toward the central government.
The fact remains that Germany had
an excellent crop this year. There
are more than enough potatoes for
the German public. Germany had
bumper crop Of grain. But the cur
rency crash and the letdown of trans
portation and general disorganiza.
ton in the government have made it
impossible to distribute the food and
enable the public to buy it.
Indignation is general against all
parties in the Reichstag. Feeling is
high against leaders who have allow
ed politics to get into such a jangls
that politicians seem to be thinking
only Of the welfare Of their particu-
larparty and Of their own jobs. The
public is gradually beginning to
realize how badly it was led when
the, passive resistance in the Ruhr
was instituted. While it was predict
ed by many politicians that abandon
mcnt Of the passive resistance would
cause much criticism, the abandon.

relief and the public Is indignant
now that it was ever jnduced to be-

adding insult to injury, the ad-
ministration has tried to hoodwink
the farmer by giving him a tariff on
farm crops, the prices of which are
determined in world markets. Every
farmer knows that, on nine out of
ten of our standard farm crops, the
highest possible tariff-wall would be

MRS .ST|LLMAN WILL
 RETURN TOCONTEST
Intends to Meet Husbands
 Charges at Every Turn

New York, Nov. 9.--Mrs. James A. Stillman is expected back in this city within few days to fight her hus- bands appeal to set aside the decision rendered against him, and to reiter- ate her denial of the authenticity of some of the letters submitted to the appellate division as a basis for the appeal.
 Yesterday she was still unaware of her husbands publication of the so- called confession letter." in which her alleged relations with Fred K. Beauvais, halfbreed Indian guide are discussed. Grande Anse, Mrs. Still mans lodge in the Quebec forests is thirty-five miles from the nearest rail- road and is without telephone com munication.
 4 message giving her the news is on it's way, but cannot reach her be- fdfe tomorrow night at the earliest. Its route is by way of MontreaEThree Rivers, and thence by motorboat up the St. Maurice river. Mrs. Stillman probably will utilize the message bearing motorboat to reach the rail- . head for the trip back to New York.
 Ex-Governor Nathan l.. Miller has been retained by MT. stillman to head the legal battalion which will argue before the appellate division in Brooklyn that Mrs. Stillman's victory was against the weight Of evidence.
 Ex-Governor Miller Files Brief.
 Ex-Governor Miller, who will be aided by William Rand, Cornelius J. Sullivan and Outerbridge Horsey has filed a fifty-page brief, reviewing the case and commenting on the rulings of Daniel J. Gleason of Poughkeepsie referee in the case, and those made by Supreme Court Justice Joseph Morschauser.
 Argument on the appeal is Sched. uled for the week beginning Dec. 3.
 We are confident as cvcr," said John E. Mack, of Poughkeepsic, guar dian ad litem for Guy Stillman. The so-called confession letter was ruled out of the trial. We shall, of course appear to fight tho appeal"
