LETTER TELLS OF MUCH SUFFERING IN GERMANY

Henry Hordeman received a letter this Tuesday morning from a cousin in Germany in which the latter told of the present condition of that country and of the great amount of suffering, due to the lack of food. He added that those who fell on the field of battle were much better off than those who survived the great strife. " Enclosed in the letter was one of the cards of the American Food Relief Administration, which listed the articles of food most needed by the German people and explaining the course that Americans wanting to send foodstuff to friends in Germany should pursue. The card said in part: “There is a great dearth of staple foods in Germany, white bread is practically unknown, sugar is rationed in meagre quantities and milk even in me . prepared form is a rarity. Americans wishing to remember friends in Germany at Christmas time can bring no greater delight to them than by providing these greatly needed and much desired articles.
