HEALTH Is FAILING

Declining German national
health Is reflected In other
striking figures which the for

gathered.

the German people, living for
the last six years under the
frightful pressure of war con-
ditions, has reached the limit
Of its physical and psychic
working capacity, and that II
no relief comes II faces the
prospect OF a collapse much
more dreadful than that Of
