 | KIWANIS SPEAKER
Alden C. Alley Tells of Suffering in Germany
 Due to War Blockade

An interesting description of present conditions in Germany and the causes which brought them about was given today at the lunch con meeting of the Kiwanis Club at the Elton by Alden G. Alley. The speaker served as an officer with the American forces during the World War and has travelled extensively in Europe recently. He was the guest of Chase Kimball at today's meeting.
 MT. Alley spoke of the starvation blockade enforced by the allied armies during the war and the ter rible effect which it had had on the German children. He told of seeing youngsters in Germany shortly after the war who ap- peared, because of their stunted stature and undernourished con- dition, to be several years younger than their actual age. He also de- scribed the suffering which result ed from the currency imitation and the general inefficiency of the re- publican government. All of these conditions, he said, set the stage for the present dictatorship.
