Food Conditions Not So Bad.
According TO Lieut. Gundeck. food
conditions in the places are not so
bad as they are pictured In the Eng
lish and American newspapers. The
one great menace in Austria is tho
fact that the men refuse to work
and in all of the cities hundreds Of
them can be seen wandering about
the streets doing nothing. while the
industries are in crying need Of
workers and the farmers are losing
crops daily from lack OF harvest
hands At the same time children
are going hungry and are subsist-
ing upon such things as ordinary
sunflowers. such as seen in the pic
ture. According TO Lieut. Gundeck,

No Implements or Horses.
Besides the lack of farm impIe-
ments, of which Poland has been
stripped clean, there is scarcely a
horse in the whole country these,
too, having been taken by the Ger
mans. This necessitates all OF the
hauling to be done by hand by the
women and children and il is a
common sight TO see women hauling
about large wagons loaded with
wood, coal and produce,
The investigations OF the indus

is no male labor available at all,
