two Viennese physicians, Herr Schles-
singer and Herr Hertz, at a meeting
held here under the auspices of the

The latter declared Vienna was vir-
tually blockaded on all sides and suf-
fering from lack Of coal. He declared
the industries of the city were going
to pieces.
DR.. Schlessinger said food conditions
in Budapest were less serious than in
Vienna because farmers are selling
their cattle, rather than risk seizure

expedient and that unless help was
forthcoming, widespread suffering in
Budapest was probable.
