fair.
SUFFERING IX BEHLIN.
Many Xecosslties, Including Clothing,
Hard to Get.
The Hague, June 2:> (Correspond?
ence ot The Associated Press)
Leather shoes are sohl out in Berlin
soys the correspondent of the Am?
sterdam I landelsbiad.
"Clothing of all kinds, Including un?
derclothing, is most difficult to get,
even with a clothing card. No hand?
kerchiefs, no shirts, no socks, no nap?
kins, no woolen or cotton jacket lor
baby. Decent washing and toilet soap
has long been unobtainable. Many,
many things are unobtainable that are
still to be had In Holland, although
prices may run much higher than in
,)eace times. Yet the Berliner looks
fairly clean and well-groomed. The
ill of chit her? mending has been car
rtpd to a fine point here, And water
ind sand keeps you clean too, at a
pinch.
"A sinokeablc cigar cannot bo
ought for less than ?O fennlgs, and
hen not more than three at a time.
\ cigarette costs 12 fennlgs, and
looking tobacco has gone the way of
Ice and beans and peas and salad oil
tnd brandy and turpentine and sealing
.a\ and a hundred other articles.
, i no, completely gone.
??Only as regards fuel, the Berliners
re better off. Then is h.ndly any
unit on gas. electricity or coal.
"Great material privations have
ieen, and are being borne, with for
itinh . Added to which are the pangs
t mourning and sorrow, grief an I
nxicty in thousands ol homes for the
11 l. ii. and those about to fall."
Army of < atcrptttars.
Puxton, England, June 12.?-The
> rthern purl of Derbyshire as well as
?rtain parts of Yorkshire, are heim:
iva.L.I hy an army of "antler moth
11 er pill.i is." Battalions Of these
ral i are on the march and are do
?rihed as "like a moving carpet"
iking roeka and walls in their march
crawl just as the Romans did with
