FOOD RIOTS IN GERMANY. LONDON, July 2. A semi-official message says that women and youths pillaged food shops in Dusseldorf. Many aliens, including Belgians and Russians, were arrested for participating. Several rioters were court-martialled and sentenced to six years’ penal servitude. LLOYD GEORGE’S SPEECH. SHAFTS THAT STRUCK HOME. AMSTERDAM, July 2, The “Kolnische Volks Zeitung,” discussing Mr. Lloyd George’s Glasgow speech, says: “Mr. Lloyd George knows that the Central Powers cannot accept his peace conditions without signing Mheir death warrant. England is conducting the war to anniJ hilate Germany, but England will bite i granite and the U-boats will finish her discomfiture,” The “Cologne Gazette” says Mr. Lloyd George has for the first time confessed that England is conducting a war of robbery and conquest of the world to enable England to possess the Garden of Eden, German colonies. Germans are prepared to endure suffering and privations a little longer rather than agree to a premature peace.
