Berlin Food Riots
Thrill Am. Shoppers

Berlin, Dec. 10 "a. i. by MaI)-
American women keeping house in
Berlin who make the rounds of the
shops for the purpose of supplying
their homes with food, seldom return
from shopping tour without a thrill.
Fights and rows in the markets and
in the residential districts where the
food shops are located are of every
day occurrence, but often do not
amount to anything more than n
good sized family rumpus. and
usually are stamped out by the police
before any one gets even d bruised
nose.
The trouble makers In most in
stances are women. some of whom
frequently stand in line for hours.
Their nerves become strained and
they fly off the handle In fifty
when the first little thing occurs to
cause a rifle. Men also sometimes
get into these little encounters. and
then the row grows and spreads
rapidly. Within a few minutes un-
less the police happen to be present.
n first class riot may be in progress,
and store windows are broken, heads
are cracked and there is n general
I upheaval in the neighborhood until
ponce reserves arrive anu SOiHe tltttts
do some shooting.
The trouble begins usually when
| some market dealer. or shop keeper
| refuses to sell his staples for the old
paper mark which began tumbling
| head over heels FIVE years ago and
his been at It ever since. Dealers
contend they are unable to replace
; their stocks unless they offer the
| wholesalers or peasants dollar bills
| or something nearly as good. and
say they prefer to keep their shops
closed rather than attempt to con-
| time business with the old paper
mark as the medium of exchange.
The action of the food dealers is In
direct defiance of decree issued
some time ago by the government to
| the effect that paper marks must
| he accepted for bread. meat potatoes
| butter, cheese and other staples dur
ing the period OF transition designed
| to bring out new currency.
There are only 200 or 500 American
women IN Berlin this winter COM
| pared with several thousand this
time last year, these being wives OF
i United States government officials,
business men and others making
their headquarters here Indefinitely.
Tourists and foreign travellers gcner-
ally have been steering shy OF Ger
| many for months because OF the un =
settled conditions.

SSso OF her exports as against 76eo
in the pre-war year.
This growth in the trade reIa-
tions between the. United States
and Mexico is further evidenced by
our own trade figures which show
that our exports to Mexico in the
ten years since the beginning OF the
war have aggregated ST, l29. 000, 900
against about Sss0.000, 600 in the
ten years preceding the war. while
our imports from Mexico in the
iol4-23 period totaled Sl,2S0, 000,-
600 against approximately $780,
000, 900 in the decade preceding the
opening of the war. In the cal
endar year. 1929 the imports from
Mexico were $l32.000.000 and the
exports thereto Sll0000.000. while
the latest available figures indicate
that the imports from Mexico in
the calendar year 1928 will be
about $i40.0O0.000 and the ex-
ports thereto about $l20, 900 900.
bringing our total trade with
Mexico in 1923 up to the quarter
Of 4 billion line against about
lis million dollars in 1913. In
fact, the percentage which we
supply Of the imports of Mexico Is
greater than our share in the i'm.

Tidal Waves, Floods
Damage Korea

New York. Jan "a. Ps)a--feports
received by the Presbyterian Board
of Missions from missionaries In
Korea show that the country suffered
heavy damage during the latter part
of 1923 from floods and tidal waves.
A large part OF the country was
Inundated and thousands OF home
were swept away.
The regions outside the submerged
sections were visited by storms whicf,
caused the total destruction OF rice
fields, and these did not yield q
grain OF food.
An added destructive force was a
giant tidal wave. which suraed in
land and swallowed up entire VII
lagos. IL swept large boats into yii-
Iage streets and cut new beach line
30 10 100 feet further inland from
the original shore line, the new line
standing straight up like palisades.
Many Presbyterian churches were
washed away and others collapsed
aftor being weakened by the floods
and storms.
