The governments relief is rated ac-
cording to the grade of the soldier and
not according to the need of the de-
pendent A pfirate's wife Is paid SO
much and generals wife SO much.
Each prtvate's wife and each generals
wife get the same allowance for grade.
The municipalities add to this a sum
which varies according to the scale of
living costs in the city. In Berlin, for
example. 1t costs moro to pay rent and
buy food than In Saxony, and allowance
is made accordingly. This sum is also
fixed by the grade of the soldier. There
are individual cases, however, In which
the sums paid by the state and city
Jointly are not sufficient. These are re-
ported upon by municipal agent and
then turned over to the local relief So

Kitchens Planned Long Ago.

The soup kitchens are only one phase
of the enormous. interlocking, articu-
lated relief system in Germany. In
estimating the public debt of Germany
financiers seem never to take into con-
sideration the cost of this relief sys-
tenn. and yet in addition to the debts
assumed by the empire the various
states and the various municipalities
are swamped under a bond Of indebt-
edness that is simply beyond all possi-
BILE estimate at this time, and to the
non-expert bystander means the per-
feet and irretrievable ruin Of the en-
pire in item as well as in mass. But
that is another phase of the story.
Germany had planned the relief sys-
tenn against future war long before
this war was put on wheels. The mo-
ment the first shot was fired the COM
plicated and yet simple mechanism of
the relief organization automatically
began to function. 1t was recognized
that the allowance made by the i'm.
perial government to a soldiers de-
pendents would not be sufficient, and
SO that is supplemented by the munici-
pality.

BY HERBERT COREY.

BASEL, Switzerland, October IS
Germany is fighting today on the
strength supplied by her soup kitchens.
1t is easily enough demonstrable that
the soup kitchen has been a far more
important factor in Germanys military
success than have her big guns. If the
civil population had starved, her army
must have collapsed. The nation has
lived for two years on such very mar
now margin of safety in food that only
the most severe economy plus the elm
nation of all waste has made that food
suffice to the needs. The most impor-
tant element in this work, next to the
system of ration cards, has been the
soup kitchen.
The German food economists were
faced with the necessity of putting a
nation of meat caters on a small daily
ration of meat. The first step was reg
ulation, by which. during the years 1916
and 1917. the individual German has
been entitled to meat ration averag-
ing half pound per man per week.
The steak usually. served to one per-
son at a good restaurant weighs more
than this. AS it was impossible to ap-
portion the cuts of meat between the
people of Germany it became obvious
that the well-to-do would get the more
expensive and more nourishing bits.
The food values of the meat ration
would descend as the buyer dropped
down the financial scale, until at last
the man who could barely afford to
spend pfennig for meat would get
only Scraped bone for his money.
That meant undertaking, additional
discomfort and eventual rioting and
possible revolution.

Avoided by Soup Kitchens.

All that was avoided by the institu-
tion of the soup kitchen. They are es-
tablished in every large city and prob
ably in every municipality of any size
throughout the empire. They are
financed wholly by the municipalities
and by the charitably disposed people
within their borders. I believe that
neither the imperial nor the various
state governments have anything to do
with the maintenance of these kitchens
although they are regarded as wholly
official institutions and are favored in
every possible way. They are usually
operated on the committee plan, and
the municipal government is always
largely represented.
1t must be understood that the term
soup kitchen is in no sense a sugges-
ton that these great dining halls are
charitable institutions. The patron does
not feel that any stigma of pauperism
rests upon him.
Through the cooperation of the gov
ernment the soup kitchens are able to
buy meat in the best market. They
never make use of the better grades of
meat, but buy meat from which nour-
ishing soups and stews can be made.
There have been times, according to
every informant I have talked with on
the soup kitchens. when these soups
were of a peculiar odor and taste. Cen
orally speaking. however. they were
very palatable, and the of-side taste
was merely an indication that the gen.
eral meat situation was bad for the
moment

May Eat Soup on Premises.

The patrons may eat the soup on the
premises if they wish. Perhaps a third
prefer to do so, and bring their slice
Of bread and sometimes a bowl and
spoon to the meal This is not insisted
upon. Bread can be bought at the
kitchen, against a coupon of the bread
card, and bowls and spoons are fur
nished when the buyer has none. The
majority of the patrons carry a bucket
to the kitchen, buy a measured guam
tity of the days dish and take it home
to be eaten about the family table. The
! middle class families are almost inva-
riably patrons of the soup kitchen.
though Mrs. Middle Glass sends her
maid servant for the stew instead of
going herself.
The great Importance of the soup
kitchen is that it is able to give the
individual more for his meat card than
if he went to the meat market himself.
The kitchens are permitted to
stretch" their cards to the ultimate
limit. 1t is evident that halfSpound
slice of meat and bone would not pro-
vide seven dinners for the individual
buyer. But the individual may buy
seven dinners from the soup kitchen
against his meat card, and if the
stews and soups carry only a sugges-
tion of meat, they are at least hot and
filing. A provision is made by which
people who are in real need are fur
nished with free soup at the expense
of the municipality
