brings many stories of woe that has
come upon the people thru the war
and says that but for the Y. M. c. A.
work in the army many of the soldiers
would have gone crazy, especially SOL
diers who had been taken prisoners.
Speaking of domestic conditions in
Denmark he said; I'VE paid SIS
bushel for apples, cents each for eggs,
80 cents a pound for butter and 80 to
90 cents a pound for ham. All these
things, except apples, are produced in

Sell Food to Germany.
Mr.. Nebbergall confirms previous and
other reports Of the aid given Ger
many by Denmark in the matter of
foodstuffs, much of which has been
brought there from the United States.
The high prices for food in Denmark
he said. are due to the fact that Den
mark sold so much of its food to Ger
many, tho the allies are now putting
so much pressure on Denmark thal
food exports to Germany have become
low and may be cut off altogether
Fish was plentiful in Copenhagen un-
til England cut off Denmark's supply
of gasolene for fear it would get TO
Germany, and now the Danes have no
power to run their fishing boats.
in many places. especially in the
cities, the poor are feeling the pinch
Of the high prices of food. On the
other hand immense fortunes have
been made in food since the war be-
gan. The food milionaires are called
'goulash barons,' so-called because OF
a sort of meat mixture which they
manufacture and sell to Germany. and
at a high price. One day we bought
a small chicken and had to pay S1.3O
for it.
Pressure From Both Sides.
Denmark is between two great dan
gers. 1t is seeking only to keep out
of the war and suffers from both sides
England puts on commercial pressure
because the Danes ship food TO Ger
many As soon as the Danes quit snip
ping food the Germans cut off their
coal supply. To save power the street
cars stop only at every other DOCK
and there is only half the usual num-
Der of cars. The elevators are not al
lowed to run There is no heat in the
public buildings and people sit in

wraps.
