MISERY IN AUSTRIA.
American Relief Agencies Are Feeding
Children Under a.

Paris, Nov 30.--The misery OF Aus
1trias hungry children is told by Pierre
Hamp, writing in a Paris weekly. He
watched the breadlines before the soup
kitchens where American relief agencies
are feeding all those under IA years OF
age.
At the door each child must show a
card and when they leave they are
searched, says NJ. Hamp.
Because there is not enough for all
the hungry to be fed, the children may
not carry away food. Yet the keen in
telligence of the young sometimes out
wits the watchfulness of their elders.
"To be sure one of the managers
told him. 1--WE should have TO undress
the children. One little girl put her
slices OF bread in her stockings. The
next week she came with rag over
her cheek, saying she had the tooth
ache. Under the cloth she had a lump
of bread"
Pointing to two little girls, she said ;
"Often | must force them to eat. Grief
at the thought that their mother has

Another little girl, wearing mems
shoes. in which her feet were lost, tried
to crowd in ahead Of her turn. Sent
back in the line, she cried. Asked why,
the child explained she was wearing
the only shoes in the family. She want
ed to hurry back SO her brother might
have the shoes and come, in his turn,
while there still was food.
"They are people" said the manager,
"whose pride is not yet dead. They
would not let their children be seen in
the street barefoot"
As the children pass in line and
have their bowls filled with cocoa they
begin at once TO drink and to eat the
white bread. They are too hungry to
wait until seated.
Sometimes, as the children leave,
they are compelled to raise their arms.

armpits; and sometimes they are
searched for many would, If they could,
