Ten years ago not a single commer cial truck pr motorcycle waa shown; now fifty trucks and a dosen cycles are being put In place at the Auditorium. Terrible conditions and untold hard shlpa among the people of Germany were detailed in Omaha by John Ftrehlau of Humphrey. N'eb., when passing through Omaha on his return from Germany, where he had gone to bring to America two girls, cousins, of his, who were suf fering hardships there as, a result of the war. Strehlau had heard from his relatives shortly before the war and learned at that time that they were comfortably situated, that they wera In good circum stanoea. all had good Jobs and that the glrla were not compelled to work away from home. A short time ago ha heard that as a result of tha war they had lost their normsjl meana of support and were In a pitiable plight He made a trip to Germany lust to sea how they were and bring the girls to America' If they cared to come. He found one of the girls working for wages In a blacksmith shop and the other working by the day in a livery barn. This, Mr. Strehlau said, he found to b a common thing for the women to be doing all kinds of menial labor of this kind to support themselves and to tske the piece of the men who are at the front He took the girl from the blacksmith shop and the one from the livery barn and brought then, with him to America. He said that everywhere young women were begging to be brought to America. Just to escape the hardship, poverty and misery that exists in Germany at the present time. They told him they would go to America If they could with no prom- is or a Job at all, as they were certsln of being able to make their living once they get across the water. Bnslaeaa at Standstill. The factorial are closed, according to his statement, and business Is at a stand still, not only In Germany, but pretty much all over the belligerent countries of Europo. This is what is making con ditiona ao -very hard the fact that pay rolls have stopped at the factories, that tha men who ahould be the providers are at the front, and that all wealth and energy ta being thrown into an effort to destroy and tear down Instead of an ef fort to produce and build up, according to Mr. Strehlau. Mr. Strehlau was greatly. . Impressed with the way all the country wher fight ing has been done Is torn with trenches H says that to hts mind It seems Im possible that many of the fields could ever be worked again, Judging from the terrible way In which they were slsshed with deep ditches and wide trenches. Belgium, ho aald, had auffered most In this way, as he says the whole of Bel glum is literally . one succession of trenches. ' ."Typhus fever is breaking out among the soldiers in many places." he says, "and thla la terrible and quick death when It geta started. If they can hold this In check, however, ao that It doea not spread generally In the rank of the soldiers throughout. Europe, S can aee no i. of the end f the war' within the next ..iV two years."
