Some Idea of the conditions which Vacation and Btudents are bucking in Europe at this time may be real ty from the following bare facts: in practically all of Central Europe I'adents are unable to command sur !Wnt money to live and study. The wntials of living are lacking. Stu ta'J are trying to live on two mea's ky. one of which consists of black bmd and very thin soup. They are Mnsing home at night to siudy In a foom without heat, and with not "Shting facilities excer-t a cTci'.e They are trying to keep warm with their clothing in rags. Many men are wearing their old ray field uniforms, now badly worn fter several years of service. Others wr thin overcoats buttoned tight to u aeck to conceal the absence of Urt or underwear. Many students n so weak from lack of rood that tty are becoming the prey of sick and disease. Tn condition of the women etu inu la even worse.' Many are clad ' little more than rags, which nave fcome filthy and oft-times verminous. for p and a bath are luxuries Mch students cannot afford.
