Rittelmoyor, preacher at the Neuon church, a brillant man of Groat originality, whose litercry work is also woll known, and outhor of a religious doclaration of peaco, which was suppressed by the authoritios, said, "I should roally profer to keep silont respecting the cordition of my poople to thoso nations which have been our oppononts in this war but whon you como to me 25 an Amorican and ask questions of me as a divino, I have not the right to remain silent yet I would speak as though I wore spaaking with tho spirits of your Grest countryman Emorson to whom I owe many an inspired hour. I vould toll him that the Gormeny of thich so much has beon said about in this war, is not the truo Gor- There is a Groat Gormony that suffors in quiot, a Germany which wo have lived with and love and honour to the utmost. These are tho my families my parishioners are made up of the so-colled culturod classes which accopted tho mony daily sacrifices which the war brought in its cain as somothing solf-undorstood. It was hoart quickening to soe even tho courage of the childron. My oun children whon they did not have enough to oat would sing Christras carols togethor but in mony families tho parents with ovor Growing anxioty would see thoir children grow paler and paler would hear the doctor declero thet anomia and unsufficient bone formation wero intorforing with the devolopment of thoir childron, that thoy wore threatened with woak lungs. These paronts would pload in vain for milk for their children nor could they moot the quostioning eyos which thoir hungry childron vere constantly turning upon theme You are woll awaro that the mortolity among Grown children has incroesed. The herm which will result from insufficient nourishment during their devolopment cannot bo fully ostimated until lator. Should somo of our countrymen have sent out colls for holp which might not havo appoaroû sufficiontly resorved, you must remomber how in Germony silonoo hes been prosorved about all dis- tross and how suddonly to the astonishmont of the world, this `istress has boen ro- voaled in full measure. Think of thoso mon who are rosponsible and who do not know how an entire nation is to bo foa during the hext few months or oven vooks. It is loft to Amorica to choose what hor attitudo towards Gormony shall bo. But it is our duty as Christiens, not to only towards our country, but also towc.rds America itself, to do all thet lies in our powor to koop America from noting in a monner which it would certainly regrot when it should lator on como to know the truth." Rev. Siogmund Schultzo principal director of the Borlin city juvenil court, said: "In 1916 it was pussible for mo to sond Presidont Vilson porsonally roports as to tho consequences of the hunger blockado for the Gorman childron. Tho Prosident thoroupon ropliod that the fact that in consequence of the blocknde 100 more children died in Borlin than in formor yoars, spurrod him on in his efforts to effect an alteration in the measures tokon by Englend. Since that timo the effects of tho hunger blockade in which from 1917 on Amorica has takon such a pro- minont and effective part, havo increased in a torriblo dogroo; tho mortolity of the*German childron in largo citios hes Coublod itsolf in the age of 11 to 15, indeed it has in part tripled itsolf. During recent yours hove not been allowod to publish these horrifying figures. Doctors and statisticns are mostly ignorant of them to this day, nevortheless they are founded upon observation which will soon be Confirmed through more exact it the present time, oving to the lack of facts these figuros are still on tho increase. Anemia and tuboroulosis in particular are increasing to en alarming extent. About 10% of the children of Berlin are condenned to lifelonc ill hoolth on account of the illegol moasures taken by the Christion Anglo-Saxon countries."
