CONDITIONS IN CKHMANY HAD Once W? ll-to do People Are Now Ask ing for Assistance. An idea of post-war conditions* iu Germany is gleaned from letters re ? reived from distant kinspeople' in | Heirthcim by Frank Krauss, former postmjtStor at Waxhaw; "You will Jio doubt be rather astonished to get a letter from here after so many years of unusual silence/' one reads* "but I have been ho lucky to get your ad dress only a few days ago. I am the widow of your cousin, YVilhehn Krauss, from Minister. I dare say family Krauts has probably mention ed us in letters to you.

Our two sons, aged ~7 and 2K years, per ishwl in the awful war. Our eldest son and elder; daughter, striving themselves very hard for gaining their living, are equally unable to .support us. So J am often very hard up, especially as everything is so dreodfuljy expensive.

If ?>ur poverty were not grow ing harder and harder every day, tin* prices of tlic more indispensable victuals rising cunt iuually, I should never have allowed myself to write to you in this way, "You are already a loi{g time over there in your rich, happy America, Let me hope that you have not quite forgotten your relations in your poor old Germany." Mr. Kraufts is of German parent age, but was born in this country, river- since the signing of the armis tice he has been sending food and money to his once well-to-do but now war-impoverished relations in the old country. A glimpse of Christmas in the old country is given in another letter: "A German Christmas festival day," the letter read, "he. it ever so humble or poor, is deeply moving. I wish you could spend Christmas ever, if ,it were only one time, with us in the way we observe the day. You would never, forget it." ' Other extracts read: "You have doubtless read of the high cost of living in Germany. It is becoming oppressive. Most any kind of food is unobtainable except at excessive prices. ... I am told that life has grown more diffi cult ever over there in your happy, free land.
