While the food conditions In Ger
many are terrible when compared with
conditions in other countries, the gen
eral economic condition Is even worse.
while the people can raise potatoes
and other food. and in this way add to
the food stocks on hand, there is no
possible method of increasing the sup
ply Of clothing and materials now in
Germany. This is the reason the gov
eminent Is so careful in regulating the
clothing cards. They are SO cautious
now that when any one desires to buy
new towels, for instance, one has to
bring the old wornout towels to the
city magistrate and give them up be-
fore permission is granted to buy new
ones. The same applies to stockings,
shirts. clothing and other pieces of
wearing apparel.
