GERMAN CHILDREN
 HURT BY WAR FOOD
Substitutes Beginning to Show
 Effect on Younger Generation

Washington. March lS.-The Nolk- stimme, an independent socialist news paper, of ChenlnitZ, one of the indus trial centers of Germany, published an article on January f dealing with the effect of war food, and asserting that the shortage of foodstuTs had begun to affect German youth in the thickly populated centers.
 As late as last year." said the Volkst1mme article q translation 0f Whlch made for the committee on pub Hc information was issued to the pub lc, it seemed as if our youth were practically proof against the effects of the war food, due to which many grown persons lost considerable weight. All the statistics gathered relative to school children by school physicians in various parts of Ger many showed again and again that the war had, in this respect, generally speaking, passed by our youth without leaving any trace.
 Recent investigations show, how over, that a change has taken place and that the shortage of foodstuffs is beginning to affect our youth in the large cities and also in the thickly populated Industrial centers in our vil- lages. In his report for the third year of the war, 1916-l7, the city physician of Stuttgart writes that our children arc now also being involved, and to a degree that pressingly calls for spe- clal care of our children, specifically in the matter of diet
 Again, the extensive investiea- tions carried on by the school physi- clan. Professor Dr. Thiele, among elementary and grammar school pu- pllS have led to exactly the same con- clus1ons. In spite of the supplement- a1y food allowances made for chil- dren a marked deterioration has talk en place in their physical condition. The children of teachers and of oth- CT poorly paid officials showed much greater falling off in weight, whereas those belonging to the fanil- ies of higher paid officials, as we'll as those of the families of worl<ingmen ana of laboring men, were much less affected.
 '"The giving up Of sport, walking trips and physical exercise, which Dr. Thiele urgently recommends, is under the circumstances extremely neces- sary, but even that measure is no an- tidote. We know that in this coming year the movement to send city chil- dren to the country must be prose- cuted with great vigor and more ex- tensively than ever. The arrange ments which had to be made in haste, out of nothing, so to speak, in the Spring of 1917 will be improved ac- cording to the experience gained last year; we may, therefore, expect them to work even better than they did be- fore.
 Tt will require the best efforts of our administration to avert the dan ger now threatening the youth of our country, in addition to the rest of the population, by safeguarding the food supply to an almost complete extent. Perhaps then it will be possible to i'm prove the nutrition of our children in the cities which is now in SO precar- ious a condition. That must be our chief aim.
 "One particularly distressing fact is that tuberculosis is Increasing among young people to an alarming degree"
