"The crush at the corner of Eldena and Them: streets is tremendous. Here the municipality sells lard, fro- zen meats and fresh mutton. Numer- ous women, though repeatedly knock- ed down and injured, wait for hours. Thousands of would-be purchasers mostly women, remain, some fainting with fatigue, during the whole night, braving the cold and drenching show- ers. On the afternoon of Wednesday numerous women assembled to be in good time when they opened Thurs- day morning, but they were driven away by the police, and were not al- lowed to assemble again until even- ing. There were hundreds supplied with stools and hassocks, which they placed along the walls. Here they waited the livelong night. Thousands Not Served. "The booths were opened and the sale went on until ten o'clock. The police let the people through the bar- riers in batches. At 9.30 there were about a hundred persons in the booths.. No .one is allowed in after these have been served. About a thousand still remained outside. These unfortunates had waited in vain all night in the street. Numerous wo- men told us that for three or four nights they had been waiting patient- ly for the doors to open, but could never get forward in time. They had to go home each time with empty bas- kets. They complained of the unfair- ness of the methods employed in dis- tributing supplies to favorites. Women Fall in Fainting Fits. "In another district in the northern part of Berlin, called the "Wedding City," there also have been establish- ed selling places for bacon, ham, fat and lard. At one of these the crowds gather early, though they are refused entrance until 5 o'clock. Owing. to the length of time they are obliged to wait women collapse on the pavement and fall in faiting fits. When the doors are opened the multitude sim- ply stampede to the stalls where the fats and lard are stored, like a wild mountain torrent. The other day it was announced that the sale would take place only at '1 o'clock in the morning. Most of the women in the district did not know of the change, and assembled at the usual afternoon hour. There were hundreds of them. They would not go away although they were told of the change in the hour. Thus many waited all through the night. In half an hour every scrap of bacon and lard had disap- peared from the market." Leavings of Dinners. The Taeglische Rundschau says: "Can nothing be done to end the piti- ful spectacle of which the Berlin mili- tary depots and barracks are con- stantly the scene? Towards noon, day after day, a motley crowd assem- bles at the doors composed, not of soldiers, in field grey, but of shame- faced drahmen and women, ancient, wrinkled, shrivelled little grand- mothers, old men, young women and children armed with the most gro- tesque receptacles. They wait pa- tiently for an hem and a half, some- times in a pelting rain, until the cook- house sweeper appears carrying a huge tin saucepan containing the leav- ings of the soldiers' dinner, pieces of fat meat and bone, bread, potatoes, and table offal of all kinds, an un- speakable, sloppy mess." Butter and Egg Battles. Further details of rioting at Aix-la- Chapelle, at Cologne, Coblenz and Treves are printed in the Itheinisthe Westfalische Zeitung.

British Craft Astonish the Turks at Dardanelles. Ellis Ashmead Bartlett describes in the London Chronicle the new moni- tors employed by the British at the Dardanelles. He says: "One afternoon there appeared at the entrance of Kephalos harbor an amazing looking object. She could hardly be said to steam up, but ra- ther wobbled into Port like a huge goose primed for Michaelmas. It was impossible to tell at the distance whe- ther she was 'broadside on, shelving her bows or her stern, for she seem- ed to be quite round. Her high sides held aloft an absolutely flat deck, on which nothing showed except the fore- most turret, from which projected two guns of enormous girth and length; while rising from her centre like a giant of some Californian forest was j a huge striped tripod bearing aloft a i kind of oblong box.
