SHIVERING AND STARVING
IN THE HOLY CITY
Winter in Jerusalem Adds Materially
To the Terrors Of
the War

London, Dec. 49, Correspondence of
the Associated ress)s-~-Advices re-
ceived here indicate that this winter
is looked forward to with the great
est dread by relief workers in the
Holy Land. The food situation is no
better than it was year ago, and the
greatest nuffering is caused by the
want of fuel and light.
The cold in Jerusalem during jan
uary and February is intense, and the
scarcity of fuel is so severe that it is
difficult to have fire even to cook
with. Petroleum, formerly brought
in abundance from the Russian oil
fields as well as from American
sources, is not to be purchased at any
price. Coal, formerly obtained from
France and Wales, is nowhere obtain
able even in the smallest quantities.
The only fuel remaining is wood, and
very little of this is to be had, and
that at very high price. Even be-
fore the war the wood supply had be-
come very scanty, owing 20 neglect of
propert forestry work and the. lack
CT forest laws. In many districts
even the fruit trees are being cut
down to provide wood requisitioned
by the government for the operation
OF trains.
Although the harvest throughout
Palestine has been fairly good the
people have derived little benefit,
owing to the requisitioning of all the
crops by the military authorities
Sugar has long been practically I'M
obtainable. There are no stores OF
food available for the peoples of the
towns this winter, but the peasants in
the country districts have in many
cases been able to hide part of their
crops from the military. In the towns
the restitution and exhaustion is sc
severe that actual starvation seems
the inevitable lot of considerable
part of the inhabitants.
The Turkish governments intro.
duction of paper money has caused
great hardship. The inhabitants OF
Palestine are unused to such money
and have no desire to become &C
customed to it. In spite of the mos
stringent government regulation!
against any preference being shown
for coined money, no shopkeeper vii
give change for paper money, ant
change is only to be obtained secretl!
at heavy loss to the owner of tn,
notes.
