From the Elberfeld Freie Presse
A wounded soldier suffering from
shell shock, who had been obliged, ow-
ing to illness, to stay away for two
days from his employment az the food
department at Elberfeld. received from
the department the following notitl-
cation:
Unless you report yourself at this
office, whether we'll or III. tomorrow.
you will not only be dismissed from
your employment but you will also for
felt the whole Of your food cards, and
Will therefore have 10 resort to the
poorhouse for sustenance.'
Would it be too much to ask the
chief burgOmaster to bring to the no
tice OF the food department the scan
dal that men who in their defense Of
the country have forfeited their health,
and who are the bearers Of the Iron
Cross and the wounded soldiers badge,
should thus be outlawed?
