man people are undernOurished
 During the long years of appar- ent Nazi prosperity, accounting for the existence of that visible we'll being was difficult. One simply had to accept 1t as magic. Now that the mirage of the supernatural has been
 swept away by one circumstance after another it is not hard, in ret respect, to divine the grounds for 1t. For two years of war, Germany stayed off the diminishing of sup
 plies and the decay of capital equip ment which processed supplies, by rapid acquisition of the supplies, of her neighbors by quick blows, which because of their speed were relatively painless for the German people. The conquest of France for instance, yielded wide-open trea- sure chest to the German civil pop ulation. The German troops simply pilfered the contents of the rich boulevard shops of Paris and the well-stocked pantries and the wine cellars of the French countryside. It was thus, in Berlin, that the first effects of war were not the tradi- tional ones of decay and scarcity but a sudden leap upwards in visible prosperity. Berlin charwomen and housemaids. whose legs had never been caressed by silk, began wear ing silk stockings from the Boule- yard Haussman as an everyday thing-"from my Hans at the front" Little street corner tav- erns began displaying rows of Arm agnac, Martell and Courvoisier Cog mac from the cellars of Maxim's and others. Every little bureaucrat in the capital could produce at din- ner fine, fat bottle of the best French champagne. The first win ter after the Norwegian campaign, the streets were filled with luxurious silver-fox fur coats wrapped around gleeful servant girls. A soldier cor1- ing home on leave was fine sight to see. He carried in addition to his war-kit, baskets, big cardboard boxes and cheap suitcases filled to overflowing with all kinds of good- ies and luxuries from the front" No objection is meant here to sol diers taking care of families at home as bountifully as possible, nor to maids wearing silk stockings.
 This was what the horrors of war were like in Berlin. War was almost fun; like football game ex- cept that you got more out of 1t. Shoes, hams, woollen sweaters, fine gowns, everything removable and some things that wnre not meant to be removed, were drained out of the serf lands with a careless abandon that might have shocked Roman tyrant.
 This was a strategic mistake. It

hastened the exhaustion of these re- sources. A wiser, more gradual ex- ploitation might have made them last twice as long, or longer. But they apparently felt the need to let their people enjoy the fruits of vic- tory in 8 hurry and a-plenty. At any rate, by the time the Russian war began, Germany was already, actually scraping the bottom of Eu- rope'S economic bin. Too ruthless, too haphazard an exploitation had drained the wrecked losers dry. To prepare his troops for the grand attack, to carry out the Aufmarsch of his forces against the Russian border, Hitler no longer had the coffers of food, fuel and textiles of tEe enslaved nations to draw from. Further, the Russian front was long, CT and better defended than the bor- der of almost any nation he had saved the world from hitherto: it required far, far more soldiers Git is estimated that the Russian cam paign required double the number of soldiers which fought in the West) than any other campaign up until that time.
 That Hitlers armies should event. ually have to suck at the bungholes of their last, longspared reservoir Germany itself - was inevitable. Take the prime example of meat. Once, when I was writing feature for one of my broadcasts on how such gigantic aggregation of men as an army is supplied, the Propa- ganda Ministry prepared a little hand-out for me in which 1t was stated that single army consumes in single day 100 head of slaugh- tered livestock. In view of its source and the nature of the information, the figure can be accepted as re- liable. Now, conservative estimate of the number of German armies operating on the eastern front is twenty. There are probably, In real ity, half as many more. But even on this estimate this means a drain on livestock supplies as high as 2,000 head each day for the Russian cam paign. Thus, at the end of eight weeks, 96,0OO head had been drawn away, mainly from Germany's own stock. By the time of Dr. Dietrich's visit to Berlin the number had reached 216 900. And by the day the civilians of Rostov threw the s. s. out of that city and initiated the Great Retreat, the figure had reached almost 35O000 head of good German livestock That they were mainly German is certain. Innurn- erable stories written by the soldier of the Naz Propaganda KOmpanie testified that the Rus sians were the first of Hitler's op- ponents who left nothing, absolute ly nothing, behind in their retreat.

merit programme and his campaigns entsIiled, the home front continued to be enigmatically and disturbingly well provided. Food and clothing were not exciting; they were, like morale, indifferent. But what was surprising in view of the circum- stances was that they, again like morale, were not at all bad.
 Butter was not abundant, but it was sufficient. A goodly slab of meat, 8 medium sized Schnitzel or couple of long. fat sausages were available before the Russian war for almost every meal; and after the beginning of the war for a smaller put not insufficient number of meals.

Even keeping the house at the usual temperature requires the use of more fuel in January, and to keep within an oil ration will ,necessitate dropping this temperature several degrees.
 Scientists say we shiver to keep warm. But there are pleasanter ways of heating ourselves, especially for women, whose normal clothing weight averages only ole-third the weight of mems.
 Grandma could give her grand- daughters a lot of good advice on how to be comfortable in this January's patriotic too-cool-to-be- really comfortable home. The first thing she'd suggest would be to pull on a good oldfasflioned union suit with a close, round neckline and sleeves which cover at least the upper arms. Grandma might not know 1t, but tests have shown. that cold is first felt through the shoul- ders and arms, so starting by keep ing those warm Is half the battle won. .s
