Th HitEnr. Sept 20
Tltotlng has again broken out In the
larger towns of Holland, owtnir to the
serious food conditions Groups of men.
women and boys pass through towns
plundering bakeriV-rarts and shops and
demanding bread Wagons of all kind
of foodstuffs are plundered and shop
windows are broken
The streets of The Hague, Amsterdam
and Rotterdam are strongly patrolled
by mounted police, and mounted troops
hae been sent Into towns to hilp main
tain order Shopkeepers are agiln bar- i
ricadlng their windows, to protect them
In Amsterdam tho lnfantr was call
ed out and a number of ollevs were
fired, six persons being Injured Twenty
two were arrested. A mob -stoned the
soldiers, who fired on the crowd, and
bricks were thrown from roofi It Is
expected that much more serious dis
turbances will hao to be coped with
this winter by the authorities unless
food conditions Improve
It Is virtually Impossible to lle on
tho Go eminent rations doled out on the
"bone" system, and there Is little to
tuy outside the distribution The peo
ple's sufferings are ascribed In some
foolish and unforeseelng Oo eminent
and to the selfishness of the farmers
who hae continued to export so much
that the country is now birren of food
stuffs Dotrh Teople Are Ifnnnrv
The people are now actually hungry
Potatoes are the main means of subsist
ence, and there are not enough of these
The ration of bad bread Is hardly sufll
clent for a meager breikfast, which Is
eaten without coffee or tea Half a
pound of butter must suffice for two
weeks for both the table and cooking
There is irtuady no meat, although
the "bone" sjstem Is supposed to make
It possible to procure a quarter of
pound twice monthly Fish also Is dis
tributed by the Government about a
pound to each person twice monthly
Bread Is much worse In quality and
'ess In quantity than in German The
flour used for bread Is not only moldv
from having laid too long on the ships
In America, but Is now mixed with Un
seed, potato flour and various other in
digestible Ingredients to Increase the
quantity. It was first intended to use
thbj adulterated flour only for cattle
A miller near Rotterdam recenth re
fused to mill Government grain, owing
to its bad quality
The average rations are a half pound
of cheese, a tenth of a pound of coffee,
a half pound of butter every two weeks,
also a half pound of sugar and a tenth
of i pound of oatmeal or barley weekl
There has been vlrtuallj no meat for
months. Eggs are now an ex ent In the
household, and In American money cost
twenty-five cents each Butter hy back
door methods costs $2 a pound Lard

and what meat Is obtainable are
tlonately dear Many workwom
obliged to dispense with the mlddav
meal, or else eat raw vegetables They
have nothing else to take with them
Good meals can still be obtained In the
expensive restaurants, but the prices
are exorbitant
The Mayor of Amsterdam, Interviewed
by your correspondent on the food situ-,
atlon In Holland, said:
'The most serious problem Is that of
cereals. Bread Is one of the principal
articles of food for the laboring class
In Holland The present ration Is quite ,
Insufficient and Is less than half the nor
mal consumption In normal times all i
meals, except one dally, are bread meals. I
"So far as cereals arc concerned, we
are In the hands of the United States,
as our production has never reached
further than half the quantity required,
and In spite of all the efforts now being
made could not be raised to an thing
near what is urgently required "
"What do you think of tho sltuitlon ,
for the coming wlner?" the Mayor was ,
asked. '
Outlook for Winter Sfrlonn
"It will be very serious. Indeed," he
answered. "Owing to the lack of bread
the consumption of potatoes has doubled. I
It Is doubtful whether the present ra
tion of eight pounds can be maintained
throughout the winter and spring, but
even If it Is possible this ration would '
be Insufflclen t for most of the labor- I
lng class." I
"What do the people live on at pres- i
' ent?" your correspondent asked
"They live on a small ration of bread
and potatoes," the Mayor replied, "both I
rations being less than Germany's at
present: no vegetables which are ex- i
pensive; a quarter pound of cheese
weekly, and very small quantities of
oatmeal or barley, never more than a
tenth of a pound a week In the fall
we hope to have a few beans and peas
but a ration never exceeding one meal
weekly." '
"What do you most need from
America?"
"I think cereals, fodder and raw ma
terials for margarine, either from the
United States or our own colonies If
the Allies would allow us, we could get '
raw materials for margarine from our
own colonies If we do not get this wo
shall have to depend on our heavily
reduced production of butter for all
our fat requirements, and In consequence
the ration of fat must again be reduced
to less than half a pound fortnightly."

London, Sept. 20, A sensation has

Gustaf Sloesteen, n well-known nuthor
and German correspondent of the Goth
enburg Ha'ndelsldnlng, who Is known for
his advanced pro-German views, has left
Germany because the censor has prohib
ited him from telling the truth In his
messages Last night he spoke at a
great meeting In Gothenburg.
'The time Is graver than ever," he
said, "and therefore one must tell the
truth Ono cannot keep silent when one
has lived In Germany.
"At first we got the Impression that
the war wns one of defense, but nfter
ward we found out that It was a wild
war of conquest, with tho object of sub
jugating other peoples nnd creating an

"The German people Is strained to the

Even after the offensive In May tho sol
diers had lost hope. They don't want to
go back to the front. The military

In his journey to Kiel, the speaker
said, he found rallwaymen on strike, and
the military train In which ho traveled
was derailed.

outspoken talk about revolution against

For Germany's own sake, the speaker
said that he hoped the German people,
