SA LIFO IN QIERMtNY American Womstni Dssrdl,ae War Ex periences; Thorn The following is a deseriptigit of life in 3erlin by ars Amerman woman who has been in the German capital ever since the beginning of the war and who has recently arrived in Switzerland. She has had ex- ceptional opportunities of observing con- ditions there as she was living with a woman relative, who is the wife of a Ger- man. Her story tells just bow the plain German people are effected by the econ- omic pressure of the Allies -now greatly increased by the measuree taken since the entry of America into the war. My little daily round lay mostly in my 'quarter and my duties led me to provision shops almost exclusively. The game was to beat up anything eatable in a given Lime, Tlie stapes we played for were high, The first prize was the smile on the children's faces when you brought out a stale package of Quaker Oats or a weaz- ened apple. There were always things to be had, but it took the scent of a hound to find them and the purse of a Rothschild to pay for thein when one had traced them down. When the children had the meas- les I could emelt an orange from the Zoo to the Alexanderplatz. When their temp- erature went up the doctor said we should feed them on orange juice if we could only get it. Most shops had ►10 oranges at all, All had Iemons, but as no one had sugar that would hardly do. Those who had them gave only two at a time and at what a price. It was a sleety aay,one of the coldest of all last winter. Rapid motion popping in and out of shops, had i kept me warm, but by afternoon my feel began to flag and still my large cloth shopping hag flapped dismally on m y arm, with only a few small oranges in the bottom. Eight o'clock was closing time and I had nearly covered my beat when I spied a shop as yet unvisited, kept by a little woman who looked as tired as I felt. She laid oranges and not lapel else but a tiny heap of turnips shrivelled and limp. "I'm afraid you have not sold anything all day, have you?" said I, "No" she said in a patient voice. "My husband is at the front and I have to be up at 3 o'clock La fight my way through at the market. I don't nL seem to managewell, very, they give inc what they like. To -day, 1 got these oranges, but none of my customers want to pay that price." "Look here," said 1; ' my husband is at the front too and I am as tired as you My two little children are down with the measles and I want some oranges. There is nothing else they can eat! ' Her first impulse was to give to me -but she also thought of the law, only two at a time to make things go as far as possible. I sat and looked at her and she at mc. Perhaps she pitied me, I certainly pitied her. Suddenly she decided and filled my bag quite full. "A dozen and a half Madame, I could not give you more, Perhaps another time, but you know I could be punished for this." Next day I got another dozen and we pulled the children through the .measles. And how these oranges served their turn. The juice was given to the children d the rinds were sliced, with some car- tsoand a good share of lemon. This ade a most superior marmalade, the rrots sweetening the lot, and coming Barer tan anything we found to the best undee. Anything can be had by the under - ply, if you know where to ply, but the thing is costly and some at dangerous and you must be fairly 11 known before they admit you. My t visit to such aden was quite exciting, ent alone to what seemed a private artment in rather a queer part of the tow The door opened just a crack and rvant told me madame could not. see • I persisted and gave the name of sponsor, which opened the door a bit er, and I could see that it was re-in- rced with iron grating, This looked th while; though charming -and final - madame came I was then passed n by monsieur, and after much parley led into the sacred percincts of the ehouse Rice, oatmeal and flour were a I wanted, and got them up to the t of my purse.

The bread supply of next winterpromie- ed well, but personally I doubt that promise The bread ration had dropped so low at one time last winter that they had to raise the meat allowance, And when this no longer served they increased the quantity, In the first years of the war they made their flour last by adding potato meal. But last winter potatoes were as scarce as wheat and their, flour was mixed with turnips -large yellow field turnips, mostly water. The bread left a pasty streak on the knife when cut, and in two days, although kept in a tin box was one mass of green and yellow mold.
