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.
"I ant so sorry to iniorm you that
my dear husband died quite sudden
ly and unexpectedly last year, leav
ing us and our dear little -girl, filiza
iKJth v (nge of I I) behind entirely
devoid <? f all means of living. 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.
"I have a small monthly allowance
of '100 marks, but this sum is not even
sufficient for a week.* The worst of
all is that I am often ill of late and
?o little able to do hard work. Kven
my sewing does not bring me much,

weaker. So you perhaps will un
derstand and oxeuse my asking y<>"
if you would kindly send mo Homo
oworn-out dresses of your daughter
for my jflrl and for myself. 1 Imve
a good hand at rearranging and get
ting up decently old things for us,
and I ask you, too, to help me in
getting my girl to a good school of
? In >ma k i ng by sending me a few
dollars so that 1 should be aole to
hQr a place as an apprentice.
"You may be sure that this pecu
niary help should only servo as an
assistance for the education of my
dear girl. And you may bo equally
sure that you are helping persons
worthy to he helped. Please do not
he angry at my asking for help from
you. 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.

Germany's Grave Digger.
Yienha, Feb. 4 ? The arrival of
(he German general, Ludendorff, in
Klangenfurt, Carinthia, today was
the cause of serious fighting betvvee'n
Socialist workmen and Pan-German
irregulars. Ludendorff had intended
to address the National Peasant Con
gress. While he was driving from
the station workmen tried to drag
him from his automobile, meanwhile
characterizing him as "Germany's
grave digger"," "Bloodhound" and
"Murderer."
Ludendorff was not permitted to
deliver his address. The street dec-1
oiations were torn down ai*l burned
amid geat excitement.
The Biggest Fish. Story.
The great fish commonly mistaken
for a whale had just cast Jonah up
on the dry land.
Thereupon Jonah, desiring to im
press his memory upon man for all
time, sat down on a rock and medi

"Having done this .stunt," he said
to himself, "I must some pub
