!-7 HE plight Of the laboring and
professional classes in Ger
- many today is desperate.
In a land of plenty. where crops
are better than they have been in
years, and where even the city shops
are fairly bursting with food, at least
one-fourth the population is seriously
under-nourished and thousands are
on the verge OF starvation.
I called on Chancellor Marx one
afternoon in Berlin, In the house
where the great Bismarck used TO
live. I told him I had heard people
were starving In Germany, but that I
had also seen lavish display on the
part of Germans about the city. I
asked him what about It.
Some Are Spending
Don't be misled by the handful Of
Germans you see eating rich foods in
expensive restaurants" he told me.
Germans are no better and no worse
than the people OF other countries.
Some have money. Some are spend
ing it as you say. But these are only
few. Go to the schools, or even in
to the streets Of the poorer quarters,
into working communities, and hos
pitals Then Judge for yourself"
did as he said. / looked for my
self. There is much sickness in the
country due to undernourishment. Tu-
berculosis is on the increase. Some
IA per cent more died Of it in 1923
than in 1922. while other diseases due
to insufficient food-r1ckets, scurvy,
anemia, pellagra, spinal curvature and
even blindness-are undoubtedly more
common than formerly.
Infant mortality has increased 81
per cent above pre-war records.
And still there is plenty of food.
Causes Are Numerous
The causes underlying all this are
numerous. The paper mark is one.
While its depreciation made multi
millionaires Of a comparative few, 1t
made beggars Of many. Then. after
It had hit nearly the absolute zero
of worthlessness, a new money was
sprung on the public at the rate Of
Al to the dollar, the precise value of
the gold mark.

people went hungry because farmers
and dealers In foodstuffs would not
part with what they had for worth
less paper marks, the rentenmark
was at once so dear ordinary people
could not get enaugh of It together
to buy anything.
Besides, with the coming Of the new
currency, prices scared. Ham cost Sc
and 81 a pound last December. Other
things were in proportion.
Labor put up fight TO be paid on

State Department Justifies Course BY
Statement That Amer

Washington. ~ Mexican troops
probably will be allowed to cross
a portion of the United States to
make war on the rebels who are
endangering American lives and
interests.
The State Department made this
announcement. 1t followed receipt OF
information that the rebels have in
vaded the Cerro Azul oil fields and
are seriously interfering with Amer
lean commerce. The extensive Do
heny interests are in this district.
Granting the request rests with the
permission of the Governors of three
States through which the troops would
pass. Arizona and New Mexico have
consented. Texas has not been heard
from, but is expected to agree
The State Department announce
ment says:
"The Mexican Government, through
it's Embassy here, has requested per-
mission of this Government for the
passage Of detachment Of the Mex
lean Army, together with the animals
and other material which usually ac-
companies such command, from
Naco, Ariz., to some point in Texas
where they will re-enter Mexican ter
ritory for service in regions in Mexico
where American lives and interests
are being threatened with grave
danger by the forces of the revolt
against the Mexican Government II
"These troops will not be armed,
but their arms and ammunition will
accompany them as baggage. This
Government has transmitted this re-
quest to the Governors of Arizona,
New Mexico and Texas and has re-
ceived favorable replies from the Gov
ernors Of Arizona and New Mexico.
No reply has yet been received from
the Governor Of Texas.
"This Government looks favorably
upon the request of the Mexican Gov
eminent, and in case a favorable reply
is received from the Governor Of
Texas this request will be granted
Similar permission has been ex-
tended In the past, the last occasion
being in October, 1915, and again in
November, 1915, when the de facto
Government OF Mexico, headed by
Carranza, was allowed to transport
Mexican troops from the Texas border
through the United States to the State
of Sonora, Mexico, where American
Lives and property were in serious
danger from the operation of Mexican
revolutionary bands"
The reason for this troop movement,
1t Is understood, is the difficulty Of
rail communication from the central
part OF Mexico to the seat OF the re-
bellion. Such troops as are available
in this immediate territory are in line
OF battle against the fronts Of two
rebel armies, one to the east and one
to the west OF the capital.
The northern part Of the republic
is normal, however, and troops may
be moved across the United States to
the northeastern section Of Mexico,
where they may move by the shortest
route into the oil fields. This move
ment would also serve to flank the
rebels and compel them to divert a
portion Of their command, now oc-
cupying portions of the railway be-
tween Mexico City and Vera Cruz.
