Lack of Food and Materials Pre-

Nothing for Export.

New York.-The German people are
and pay their war indemnities, but
they cannot do so until they have help
in the way of food and materials, ac-
cording to Otto j. Marum, the German
agent for an American Leather COM
pany in Milwaukee, who recently ar
rived from Germany. He says that the
German workman Is so underfed that
he cannot possibly do proper days
work, and that the high prices for all
the necessities there, combined with
the pay of the laborer with the mark
at It's present low rate of value, is
causing hardshlps and great suffering
among the working classes tEat can
scarcely be realized.
"The visitors who come to Germany,
put up mt the best hotels where there
Is plenty of good food, and make a
superficial inspection of some of the
more accessible districts, cannot judge
of the lack of food throughout the
country" said Mr.. Marum. "Deformed
children are seen everywhere where
the working people live, but one fails
to take into consideration that their
whole organism is undermined and
that they will always bear the marks
Of what they have suffered in the last
few years.
Nothing for Export.
"There is nothing at present for ex-
port, partly because of the great
dearth of coal for factories and manu-
featuring purposes, and also because
there are so few raw materials. The
raw materials now available fill only a
very small percentage of the domestic
needs. The people are striving to at
tain their od-time efficiency, but liv-
Ing costs must go down in order that
wages may be reduced for profitable
production.
"The same general problems that con-
front other countries now are present
in Germany In more aggravated
form. For instance, the housing prob
lem had reached much more acute
state than here. The government made
on effort to adjust this by obliging
those with more rooms In their resi-
dences than were actually needed for
their own families to take others i7to
their homes--as renters, of course
but since they are allowed the use of
the kitchens and laundries and other
parts of the houses the arrangement
has made for great confusion and
much discomfort.

materials and the high wnges for
workmen have made 1t almost pro
