LONDON', Teb. 10, An Kngllrtiwoman. who with her two young children hns lccently managed to escape from Oermany, speaks of the pocrty and the general domestic misery thire, but nt tho same time is much Impressed by the courago of the women. "At the beginning of the war tho Ger man women f-ent fond to the men in the trenches " she sajs, ' but today the case Is altered, nnd It Is tho nun In the trenches who aro sending food home to the women and children, v. hose plight Is so hard There would hao been n revolution long ngo It there had been enough able-bodied men nt homo In tho country Hut there aro only bo8, old men, cripples and women "Although the German women are sad at heart, ' she continues, "and although they know that this state of things cannot continue muili longer, for they can only Just keep body nnd soul together as It Is, et they presere outwardly as good spirits as possible, and make pitiable effurts to be Jocular Prom first to last 1 was treated well, though I had to stanc with the rest Tl'JBUKn TO OIIUMBLURS When ono heirs of food conditions such as that, tho grumblings of certain llrltlsh crs only a ery trilling percentage, It's true In connection with Lord liconport' system of rationing, seem most extraordi nary And as for tho mild housewifely protests that one hears oer the high price of bread, wh.

Hut the towns are full of mourning and privation 'The women of Germany want peace with growing Intensity" najs tho english woman who has Just left that countr "Socialists and Catholics though usuilly opposed, irc now united In their adncicy of peace Both pirtles hae sent petitions signed by millions of women to the Gov ernment In Berlin, praying for n stoppign of the war They have not )et quite lost heart but after plavlng Mother Hubbird for the laBt year they aro full of anxiety for the future "The German people are not allowed to know what their losses have been They know however, that they hive been colos sal They can see for themselves tho maimed and the crippled everywhere They speak of the dead In terms of Indefinite mil lions There Is less 'Gott Strafe Knglind' to be ticard Perhaps It Is partly duo to tho fad that German women who wrote to prisoners Interned In Kngland, asking whether they wanted mi) thing, received the reply thit tho prisoners In tho hands of the British had nil their wants supplied, and the only grievance they hid was that they wanted something to do, the time hanging hcnvlly on their hands." Clothes aro very expenslvo In Germany according to all reports, and most of their have to be purchased on the ticket s)stem, except the suits of highest price In Tramo and In Great Ilrllnln, too, prices have natu rally risen llgh and tho decree has gone forth that this spring Is to be ono without fashions!
