‘GIVE US BREAD, NOT BULLETS,’ IS CRY IN BERLIN Destitution and Hunger Threaten to Rend Germany —City Hall Stormed, By CARL D. GROAT United Press Staff Correspondent. BERLIN, Oct. 16. —Five thousand hungry unemployed stormed the main city hall near Alexander Platz todajp in one of the most menacing demon stratlons since the food shortage be came acute. • Ten are known to have been wounded when police cordons drove the most daring of the demonstrators back. Still determined, the crowds rushed to the Bourse, where brokers were seen hurriedly leaving the building and seeking refuge. Wilhelmstrasse was closed today aa a precautionary measure. With the first financial reforms ready to relieve the hunger and destitution new and stronger measures are demanded in Chancellor Stresemann's own paper to check the threatened break-up of the republic. Die Zitt, in an article inspired by the chancellor, declared the central government must move energetically to thwart red outbreaks. Searchlights played last night on the market place buildings in Salzgitter to detect looting. The government’s first dictatorial measure to stabilize money values will, It is announced, be the establishment of a renten bank which will issue the “rentenmark,” up to one milliard gold marks, guaranteed by mortgages on land, industry and commerce. “Give Us Bread" Cries of "give us bread, not bullets,” mingled with curses at the police and snatches of the Red anthem “Internationale” were heard as the mobs at first pressed police back against the city hall. Mad demonstrators suddenly broke and charged the police only to be met with drawn bayonet-like daggers. Resrves of police formed phalanxes that plowed in army massed formation into the tattered sections. “Don’t spill blood” they shouted while from many came cries for potatoes. Time and again the flrey leaders ,n front balked before pressure. Then the police threatened to fire. As they prepared, the crowds scattered. Gradually the crowd left, from the side streets of the vicinity.

Board Has $2,500 The board of children's guardians j has $2,500 to spend in pensions for j needy mothers. More will be appropriated the first of the year, If the plan Is successful, counciimen stated. “The trouble with mother's pensions in places where it has been tried is that the system has been subjected to frightful abuse and pensions have swelled to large burdens on the taxpayers,” said Miss Caroline Goodhart, secretary of the board. "We have only this little Initial amount and have limited pensions to widows with children.” Committee In Charge The committee which decides who should receive pensions is composed of Miss Isabelle Somerville, chief probation officer for Juvenile Court; the Rev.

Faces Army of Recruits Who Offer Testimony Against Her Character —Confronted by Power of Husband’s Millions, By HORTENSE SAUNDERS, NEA Service Staff Writer. a t E\V YORK. Oct. 16.—The spotlight of the world’s sensatN tio£al interest is centered today on one red-haired, determined onan —Mrs. Helen Ehvood Stokes, who having won one of the most contested divorce cases of the decade, faces a second trial because of a technical error in court procedure. She must refute 49 charges of misconduct brought up by her husband, the elderly millionaire. She faces an army of recruits from all parts of the country, each waiting to offer evidence against her character.

She Is confronted by the Stokes millions, every dollar ready to spend its power and influence against her. Every act and deed of he# life is to be aired and spread out for a Second time before a sensation-loving’world. And yet. like William Tell, this little Titian-haired woman, who is 36 and would pass for 10 years younger, sets her mouth In a firm line, squares her shoulders, looks her accusers in the face and says to them —“Shoot.” To get into the courtroom each day she has to pass through corridors lined with eager, curious eyes of those willing to stand around half a day just to get a glimpse of her. But if she were passing through a drawing room filled with friends, she could not be more calm or gracious. She takes her seat at the table, opposite her accusers as if she were sitting down to a hand of bridge, or waiting lor a cup of tea. And while the lawyers get excited nd the judge 'calls order, while Stokes himself confers with his lawyers or gets up for a stroll In the corridors, while the witnesses get muddled In their testimony and" the reporters take busy notes, she maintains the most impersonal Interest and the most stoical calm. She is the only person at the trial who Is composed and apparently under no nervous strain. She smiles frequently, and never during a whole day did I see a look of scorn or anger, no matter what was being brought up against her. “Because,” she explained with a smile, “I believe In justice. I believe in Right. "I believe in BELIEVING in justice and right no matter how unfavorable things look. If you aren’t guilty, a million witnesses and a million dollars can't make you so, can they? So why worry? "Os course, it Isn't pleasant to listen to what I have to in court. It’s like an unpleasant problem play, or a bad chapter In a morbid book. It it were true. It would be too terrible But It’s just fiction, and I take It as such, with full confidence that the Jury and the world at large will be able to distinguish between fact and malicious fancy.

I promise you that." In appearance, she looks exactly like a description of what the welldressed business woman should wear. Her trim blue serge suit, with a feminine white batiste blouse beneath, her llttje blue turban which allows just a bit of the red hair to show beneath, the veil keeping It in perfect place, and the gray fox fur kept at a becoming angle, and the gray gloves, all further the Impression of her perfect poise and control. Another thing I noticed was that she refrained from manifesting any concern or superiority when the first witness against her wilted under the testimony and was charged with perjury. “I only Want to vindicate myself In this court,” she said. "1 don’t want any one else to suffer on my account."

COOLIDGE HOSTILE TO PINCHOT PLAN FOR PROHIBITION President Declares He Is Too Busy to Give Dry Law Personal Attention, By United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—President Coojidge is hostile to Governor Plnchot’s plan for placing dry enforcement responsibility on the White House by removing Prohibition Commissioner Haynes from jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Treasury and the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. There are three reasons for this: 1. Coolidge considers the presidency as already overburdened. To require the President to give his personal attention to dry enforcement would force him to ignore other equally present duties. 2. Coolidge regards Pinchct’s sug* gestion as a direct attack on the integrity of Secretary" of the Treasury Mellon and Commissioner of Internal Revenue Blair. 3. Congress has determined the line of responsibility and placed Haynes under the two superior officers of the Treasury. The President could not order otherwise without congressional authority. Will Meet Challenge Coolidge is arranging to meet the challenge of Governor Plnchot with his usual Yankee caution. He Invited Fred B. Smith, one of the directors of the dry conference, to dine at the White House Monday night, to discuss plans for Governor’s conference Saturday. The President is unlikely to make a formal answer to Pinchot, but he will give his side of the situation at the Governors’ meeting and point out why the suggestion of the Pennsylvania executive are regarded as Impractical. Coolidge is In full sympathy with prohibition, but he is not inclined to yield to the views of the Governor and repudiate his own Cabinet officer. Drys Indorse President The drys gave the President their endorsement in resolutions adopted at the closing session of the citizenship conference Monday. One official of the prohibition conference here declared the President was offended at Plnchot's attacks on weakness on Federal enforcement.
