the authorities in the towns along the
route for food. which is freely given.
There has been real suffering among
these refugees. Frail women stagser
along carrying their babies, with other
children. many of them hardly able TO
walk, tugging at their skirts. There is
genuine feeling OF comradeship, how
ever, and every vehicle moving along
the roads is jammed with the women
and the babies.
One sad feature OF the exodus is the
fact that mSny of the families have be-
come separated in the flight, and up to
the present il has been impossible to
reunite them. The government is estab-
fishing bureaus of information at the
various towns south of Paris, and a
general list OF all refugees is being
compiled.
Foreign Minister Delcasse today de-
clared that he had confidential in
formation showing beyond question
that the internal situation in Germany
is serious. He said:
Despite all OF the efforts of the
German government to stimulate en-
thusiasm by the news of victories. the
people of Berlin and Germany gem

is universal. Business is completely
