Special Gable to The Washington Herald
Stockholm (via London), Jan. 1.-THE
food situation in Germany has grown
much worse during the last six months,
according to the experience of corre-
spondent who has returned from a trip
to Berlin.
No cheese has been on the market since
August and eggs are unobtainable ex-
cept surreptitiously at Is to 20 cents
apiece. Berlin's daily milk receipts are
about $4,000 litres against a normal
]. 900 900, and it is impossible to buy cloth
ing, shoes, stockings or blankets except
by permission of the police. This latter,
however, may be merely a precautionary
measure as the shops appear well stock
ed with clothing
Chief Burgomaster Wermuth, as we'll as
the heads of other cities, complains that
the larger towns are compelled to suffer
unnecessary hardships because of the
system of distribution of foodstuffs has
failed in many respects. In some cities
the situation seems to be better than in
others.
