FEAR OF ANARCHY

STARVATION IN DUSSELDORF. EVIDENCE OF RIOTING. PabUthAd la ,o Tht» Timm * LONDON, October 19. Dusseldorf bears evidence of the se» vere rioting of the last few days. The main road from Cologne to Dueseldorf looks as if it had passed through a violent storm. Even to-day, when quiet reigns, the shops are doing business behind closed shutters and drawn blinds. “It is not Communism we fear. W© are too poor to make a revolution. It is anarchy, arising from amid the starving population,” declared a German politician. “UNTHINKABLE HAVOC" IF SOLUTION NOT FOUND. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received October 21, 5.5 p.m.) NEW YORK. October 20. Speaking at St. Louis, Mr Lloyd George declared: “Unless the German situation is settled, unthinkable havoc may result to all the world. The reparation question should be settled on the basis of Germany’s real capacity to pay.” SWINDLERS* HARVEBT MANY FOREIGNERS ROBBED. *tibttflhed In The Tim—*" LONDON, October 19. The Berlin correspondent of “Th# Times” states that the raids for the purpose of obtaining foreign exchange currency, organised by Dr Fellinger, foreign exchange dictator, are giving an opportunity to swindlers, who are reaping a rich harvest from unsuspecting foreigners. Their methods are to stop people in the street, demand to see their note-cases. Any foreign money is confiscated, and the owners are given a receipt and told to report in the morning to the .police station. There they generally learn that they have been victimised.
