Says Germans Had
Plenty of Good Food
After Is Months at COblenz, Young
Man Refutes Starvation Claims
of TeutOns

With sixteen months of service in
the American army of occupation in
Germany to his credit, Henry Grimes
of Franklin, is not in sympathy with
the widely cast propaganda that the
people in the German cities are
starving and the objects of nation
wide financial aid.
That is, they were not in such need
last August when Mr.. Grimes left
Germany with the Third division af-
ter continual service in the city, OF
Coblenz, the largest municipality in
German territory on the Rhine.
"The German people in Coblenz
did not appear to be starving" saio
Mr.. Grimes. "Nowhere did we fine
evidence of a food shortage"
Asked if Coblenz maintained g
''bread line" the soldier said that
they did not, and that food at al
times seemed plentiful
When Mr.. Grimes first went into
German territory the American dol
ar was worth about marks. WheI
his division left there a dollar was
worth about 100 marks. egr '7'
"We could buy a good feed any.
where for ten marks-a meal con
sisting of eggs, meat, bread, butter
and coffee or beer. There was ne
shortage that we could see."
The laboring people in Coblenz in
August were receiving about marks
day while the skilled laborers got
about 81 marks a days work. The
scale of living was low according
to American standards.
Asked regarding the political stu
alton there, Mr.. Grimes said that the
younger generation have no particu.
lar time or use for the ex-kaiser. But
the older people, educated to the ole
rule, are looking forward to the re-
establishing of old form of govern.
ment.
Mr.. Grimes is a brother of Robert
Grimes of the Herald force. He was
discharged from the army last Sep.
TENDER having served a re-enlistment
after the signing of the armistice.
The treatment of the Americans
by the Germans, he said, was very
good. No reference was made to the
war and in every instance, the Ger
man people took every opportunity tt
