REAL CONDITIONS IN GERMANY NOV) The Censor Must Have Been Absent When This Letter Came Through The following letter received by John T. Trautwine, Jr., of Philadel phia, from Mrs. C. 'Robert Grimm. Xeuwied-am-Rheln, Germany, Jan uary 1, 191S, gives a little idea of Just how bad conditions really are in Germany. The writer would have had le.ss trouble in writing "things" which are not needed than things which are needed. It is not known just how the letter managed to reach American shores. It will be noticed that money seems to be of the least consideration in Germany. The le;- ter follows: "My Dear Mr. Trautwine: "Your letters dated Thanksgiving Day and forwarded through the kindness of Mile. Panchaud were re ceived by me this a. m. A thousand thanks for all your trouble in my affairs. 1 am afraid 1 have made you overanxious about me. How ever, I will make the situation in this letter as "clear as po&ible. In the first place it Is not so much money that I need as "things." "Health prescription to be tried one week and if you tind improvement then a number of years. Xo milk, buttor or fat of any sort, no tlour, no eggs. (They act on the liver); one quarter pound lean meat, and, abo\*e all things, no soap. Then do not replenish your wardrobe for four years, and if, at the end of that time you do not resemble Rip Van Winkle, "my name is mud." "When I read in my aunt's letter that Miss Crawford had sent fifteen boxes to Europe and not one to her "dear Bettle in her dear Germany," I must say it tired me on some what. 1 am quite sure she must have read in the "great" Xew York papers at least twice a day for 365 days in the year how we are all starving and dropping down upon the streets like flies, but not once did the brilliant idea cross her mind that perhaps her "dear Bettie" might like and could use one of those fifteen boxes! Under like conditions X am quite sure I should have acted other wise. "If it is possible to send me a box through the Spanish Consul I shall be very glad and the "things" I so much ned I will gladly pay for—l | can't believe that there are no more ! generous, kind-hearted Americans who are above all pettiness, noble and anxious to help their fellow-be-; I ings—but it looks black. When I I think of the turkey and mince pies and all other luxuries such as good i cast-off clothing which are flying I around in my dear land, and I think | every day how much I could do with | some of those cas:-off luxuries, it i makes my heart ache. I have given . almost everything I have away—but ; when it comes to putting wooden | | on my shoes I feel it is time to stir somebody up. Don't worry! ! about money. I can pull through! with what I have here. My best ! greetings to you and Peggy and my deepest thanks for all your trouble. I "Things I need: One pair oxford! ties, one pair buttoned boots, calf j skin; one pair rubbers: hot water! I bag; one piece longcloth for N. G. Then if you can beg, borrow or steal ! —rice, lard, bacon, cheese, coffee, a' I jug of oil. cast-off clothing, in fact! anything. Even flour and soap, corn | | starch, oatmeal.
