 Many of the prisoners were armed
 The recent violent outbreaks in Hamburg, Berlin and other indus trial ccntcrS arc viewed as retlcctinG q state of mind in the German masses which find themselves on the verge of despair.
 The outbreaks are traccablo 10 two factors. oWovcr-hungcr and the vigorous communistic propaganda which has had rcdoublcd force in recent months.
 Many Men JoblcsS
 The economic situation is ail the more alarming because Il had been expected that with an open winter, unemployment figures would be low = cr than in 1929. Instead. reports in dicate that there are more jOblcss mon in Germany today than at any time last year.
 More than 2,O00.0UO unemployed citizens arc now receiving the dole, and another 1.500,000 arc either re- ccivinG assistance elsewhere, or arc wholly without financial help. Ten million persons, including children, are thus affected.

Scores Confined to Beds
But with two deaths reported and
manv score confined to their beds,
the situation admittedly is grave.
The malady respects neither age
nor wealth.
Many residents Of the exclusive
College Hill residential district are
reported i'll.
Many society matrons, who have
absented themselves from social sf-
fairs and who have explained they
we're suffering from the "fu" or a
nervous breakdown" actually are
suffering from Jake foot" author

The list of those afflicted includes
high school boys and girls.
There are men past 10 years old

No Cure Found for Malady
Few of the i'll can leave their beds.
Neither DR.. Hobbs nor other

Estimates of the number i'll range
from 200 to 500.
Many of the i'll said they were
drinking the ginger as a stomach

using it as beverage.
