On the Situation In Germany
(Conhnued rrom rage 2)
meal and hls supper ia only soup and bread. He had come from the front
tö find that hls wlre had made a poor recovery from a serlous Operation and
that hls two chlldren were very much reduced, all lor lack of proper food.
He Bent them to a eeaslde place on the Baltlc, but there proved to be so
llttle kood there that he is obliged to Bare all he can to send them food from
Berlin. Another of our guldes, who Klndly lnvlted us to hls houae, showed
us two blooming chlldren of seven and eleven, but the llttle war baby of
two years had stopped growlng when she was weaned and developed rickets.
W'ith the utniOBt care she is now able to walk, but ls still tiny, white and
thin, a gqreat contrast to the other two chlldren.
It was In Saxony especially that they spoke wlth horror of the "tlme
of turnips," when for three or four months the entire populatlon had
almost nothing to eat excopt white turnips. Many grown people have ac
quired a permanent dyspepsia from that experience and it was of Course
linpossible for many of the chlldren to digest such food. The viilage
schoolmaeter in "Barenstein" told us that in the Course of each morning
nlne or ten chlldren would leave the room, vomlt their brakfast and stagger
back, too miserable and slck to hold up their heads, and much less to Btudy
,, their lessons. We were constantly told that the amount of school work
requlred Of the chlldren had to be lessened in order to meet their lowered
"""Vitallty and that owing to their absolute inability to do the school work
many chlldren of the poor in Germany have practically lost four years of
school out of their possible elght. The numbers of school chlldren was
greatly reduced also by actual illness. We were told in Halle by one of
the school doctors that the school populatlon had actually fallen off one
half since the war began. ,
Ruth von der Leyden and other probation offlcers of the Juvenile Court
of Berlin told us much of the Increased crimlnality among the former puplls
of the higher grade schools. These growing boys and glrls, who, owing to
the shortage of labor during the long Course of the war, undertook hard
factory work and were simply unable to get enough to eat from the rationed
supplies. From this root cau.se sprang many thefts of food, falsificatlon of
bread cards, honsebreaking into bakeries and mills, stealing potatoes and
turnips in the Solds, taking part in the fraudulent handllng of food in the
hopes that some would be given to them, and so forth. In addition to
hunger, many of these chlldren, unable to bear any longer the anxiety of
their mothers, stole food to take, reckless of the consequences to them
selves. Of Course they often stole money from their parents, soId the cloth
ing of their brothers and sisters or such household articles as they could
pilfer. To quote Miss von der Leyden, "Chlldren and youths from the rnost
respectable farnilies come before the court througb. their sheer inability to
withstand the temptations to which the blockade so cruelly Subjects them."
It has been said of these half-starved chlldren that they illustrate a saylng
of Rousseau's, "The body must have strengtb. to obey the soul, the weaker
the body the more it commands."
It has seemed best to treat the speciflc results of the food blockade,
the loss of weight, increase of tuberculosis and other diseases, under sep
arate heads, as follows:
f Tuberculosis On our first evening in Berlin, Professor Kayserling, bne
, of the foremost German authorities on tuberculosis, came to our botel and
i gave us a brief outline of the terrible results of the prolonged food blockade
as shown In the increase of tuberculosis in German eitles. Country dis
trlcts have apparently suffered less. He began by saylng that the Increased
rate is due to lack of food and not to the other incldents of war as shown
by the slight rise before the tlghtened blockade and the repald rise after it.
In 1914 the death from tuberculosis in German eitles of over 15,000 inhabl
tants was 40,374. By 1916 lt had risen only to 48,778, but by 1917 it was
' 67,860, and for the flrst half of 1918 it was 67,860. Stnce tuberculosis ls
not a disease that kllls auickly, Professor Kayserling expeets that the rate
for the erst half of 1918 and, that for 1919 will prove to be still higher,
It must also be remembered that the umher of people in the susceptible
ages was decidedly diminished by the loss of young men who had fallen in
the war.
The almost complete lack of fats, including cod-lirer oll, the first
installment of which reached Germany througb. Dr. Rotten In May of this
year, make it imposslble to strengthen the body agalnst Infection or help
lt to combat infection after it has taken place. Matters were still worse
after the armlstlce when the demobilized soldlers suddenly returned to the
eitles to share In the scanty food supply at the same Urne transportatlon
became more demoralized than erer because of the surrender of rolling
' stock. So striklng has been the ellect of partial starvatlon orTtuberculosis
among' all classes that Kayserling says German physiclans are beginnlng
to say that tuberculosis should be regarded prlmarily not as an inkectious
disease, but as a disease of nutritlon to be Controlle much more by feed
' ing than by preventing Infection.
s 1 A few days later we had the opportunity to vlsit Kayserling' dis
finBary (Poliklinik) for tuberculous chlldren of the middle dass. He
v.owed us to interview the mothers who brought their chlldren for exani
Vjtlon and to find out what the llttle things had to eat The answer was
j 'tyyiost alway the same, For breakfast ersati coffee without milk or
Al gar, bread, and usually but not always, marmala.de made wlth saccharine
l1r sugar. One lucky chlld had had a blt of lard on bis bread that morn-
nfg. For dinner at noon, soup made of war meal and dried vegetables,
u'met!mes potatoes and rarely beans. Supper was a repetltlon of break
i - st. If the chlld was under four years he was reeeiving a pint of milk i
i-'liy and this was true for part of the tlme of the slx-year-olds, but above
1 rk years the allowance stopped. One glrl of eleven, who looked about
ffght, was discovered to be tuberculous. She was getüng a little meat once
week, no butter, no eggs or milk. Kayserling gave the mother an order
r a pint of milk dally, but it will cost her a mark and a half each tlme,
nd will constitute the only possible cbange In the chtfd's diet, which, even
th this addition will be too meager for a healthy chlld. to say nothing of
je whose hope of Ilse lieg in a generous allowance of anlrnal fats.
' Many of the mothers In this cllnie looked so ernaciated that one could
ot help bellevlng that, scanty as their rations were, they took only part
et or thernselves and gave the rest to the chlldren. One speclally wretched
ftooking wornan said she was the mother of six chlldren, one of whorn had
rfcecently d!ed of tuberculosis and she had brought a llttle daughter to be
$amfned for the same disease. As all the chlldren were over six vears.
"4hey had so milk except the half pint which was allotted to her because
Hhe is suffering from a serlons form of nephritis. "And how much of that
Vl'ises into your stomach," Professor Kayserling asked. The woman only
nrugged her shoulders. At the end we asked hlm what he could do for
he.se cases, and he answered: "Almost nothing. I see the conditlons and
know how they should be dealt wlth, but I cannot put my knowledge to
ise, I cannot wo witnoui ine loois oi my iraae. wnne in iormer years
kayserling used to see about SO cases of bone tuberculosis in chlldren in
he course of a year, now he sees as many In a month.
We heard still more about tuberculosis in the great bospltal of the
i j'barite, connected wlth the üniverslty, when we vlslted Professor Czerny's
f'jp-. ards there. Fully half of all the chlldren here are tuberculous, a condl-

of these war chlldren may be below the normal stand. i
In the wards for tuberculous chlldren we säw varieties of the disease
which used to be regarded as medical curiosities, so extreme as to be seen
only in primitive people wlth no racial immunity to the disease. Germany's
raclal Immunity, if there really'be such a thing. was destroyed by the
blockade and now In her hospitals one can expect to see the most terrible
forms of this infection and not as exceptlonal cases, but falrly coramonly.
Not only in the Charlte. where one expeets to see picked cases, but in the
hospitals of Halle. Leipzig and Frankfurt, we saw chlldren wlth enormously
developed tuberculosis of the glands, wlth tuberculosis of several bones at
once, wlth involvement of both lungs and cavity formation, such as ordi
narily occurs only in grown people. There were tiny chlldren wlth tuber
culosis of the breast bone, for the bones of the skull, even of the bones of
the upper jaw wlth involvement of the eye socket, and many cases o the
formerly rare tuberculosis of the ekln, lupus. There was added tragedy in
the impotence of the physiclans, who while equipped witli all that science
has discovered in this Seid and so entirely capable of dealing wlth each
case in the best possible way, could only struggle wlth makeshifts and look
on at their own failures because without nourishlng food the fight against
this disease must be a losing one. Yet if only food could be procured
these chlld cases of bone and gland tuberculosis could be made to improve
amazlngly. 4 .
While at the Charlte we went to Kraus' wards for tuberculosis adults
and were reeeived by bis asslatant,, Professor Leschke, who showed us
cases of the new form of this. disease in adults. Before the war the so
called galloping consumption was a great rarity in Germany. now they are
having an enormous mortallty in young adults alter an illness of only one
to four months. It appoars in those who have lost many pounds in weight.
As lt is imposslble to give them the abundant fats they need, they go
rapidly down hUl, having apparently lost all reslstance to the disease. This
rapid consumption Is greatly on the increase and probably will continue at
a high flgure for several, years. Nor is it conftned to bospltal patients; it
is common among Yhe well-to-do. Dr. Leschke had at that time no less
than thirty cases in hls own private practice.
The city orphanage in Berlin, which is really a home for dependent
chlldren, whethr actually orphans or not, is not supposed to take any but
healthy chlldren, but it is imposslble now to reject the tuberculous and
rachltic, for they are too numerous. It has lpng been the rule here to glve
the Pirquefc skin fest to the chlldren, to determine the presence of tuber
culous inection. Before the war this test was positive for 10 per cent of.
the two-year-olds, now it ls positive in 30 per cent, but while infection has
increaaed threefold, actual illness has increased fivefold, as shown by the
number of cases of skin, gland, bone and pulmonary tuberculosis. In Halle
there is ten times as much skin tuberculosis as before the war, and in
Frankfurt they showed us cases of pulmonary tuberculosis in babies. some
thing hardly ever seen In other countrles. The curve of tuberculosis, or
rather of mortallty from this disease, in the city of Chemnitz shows clearly
the influence of the intensined blockade, for while there is little increase in
the first two and a half years of war, there is a sudden rise in 1917 and a
still greater rise in 1918.
IncreuNe of Other Diseases Prdbably the increase of tuberculosis is
the most serlous single result of the food blockade, but there are other dis-
aases also which have shown a startling rise in prevalecne and in severity.
Among children, rickets, which was ijormeily almost confined to the very
poor or to the inmates of private orphanages, has become widespread in
every dass of society. Wlth the softenlng and bending of the bones goes
an abnormal fragility, so that fracture occurs almost spontaneously, after
the slightest violence. If a chlld stumbles and falls to the floor he may
break a leg or a collar bone, even a hip; If the mother llfts the chiid by its
arms, she may break one of the arm bones. We saw a three-year-old boy
in bed wlth bis second broken leg.
In the orthopedic wards of the Charlte, 90 per cent'of all the children
are rachitic and even in detention homes and crecheS aud oiphanages
rickets is now common. Forty-one per eent' of all the children in the
Leipzig home for dellcate children are rachitic. We saw innumerable
Instances of this disease of malnutrition comlng on after the first year, in
chlldren who were falrly normal till they were weaned or till they began
to require more ratty and proteld food than could be glven them. There
were chlldren of two, three, four and even six and seven years who had
learned to walk and then gradually lost the abllity to so much as stand
alone. The orthopedists operate on bowed legs or knock knees and obtaln
their usual good results, but the food that would make the stralghtened
hohes strong is lacking and so little by llttle the bending returns and the
surgeon's work is all undone.
Infantile scurvy is frequent, from lack of milk and eggs, and we saw
instances of profuond anaemia in tiny children, a very rare thing in most
countrles. , These were hildren who had been kept on food very poor in
iron war meal, potatoes, marmalade. One chlld bad onlyi 30 per cent of
red coloring matter in the blood. The war dropsy of which we read so
much appeared in children who had been kept on a diet of carbohydrates
only and In Berlin it was confined to certain rellgious orphanages where
it was very prevalent. In one of them all the children, 150 in number,
were dropslcal. That täte of things has been corrected.
We saw many cases of emaciation in children and babies, so extreme
that lt was hard to believe the condition was caused by hunger alone and
not generalized tuberculosis, yet such was the case. In a creche in the
Industrlal town of Neu Kolion, near Berlin, there were fourteen babies in
one room. Five were normal, nlne markedlv undernourished. and of these
five were ernaciated. None of them were tuberculous. In a Leipzig creche,
out of thirty-nine babies, only eleven weie normal in development, the
remaining twenty-eight showed in varying degree the effects ot lack of
food, emaciation, rachitls or both together.
The food blockade was also a soap blockade and this has had very
great influence over certain diseases, notably skin diseases, and the fever
of chlldbed. The lack of soap to cleanse the person of the patient, to wash
ner Jlnen and to cleanse the hands of the midwife is apparently the cause
of a sudden rise in the mortallty from puerperal fever which has occurred
in Germany in the last two years. Children have been the greatest suf-
ferers from the skin diseases resulting from lack of soap, babies of course
most of all. We were shown their scalded little bodies, their heads covered
wlth scales, the bleedlng surfaces in the folds of groins and arms. The
treatment for such conditlons is very tinsatisfactory, for Germany has abso-
lutely no mediclnal olls, no vaseline or other bland ointment to soften the
scales and assist in the healing process. For soap there is still only the
heavy lab of chalky materlal which is very Irritating to dellcate skin, and
to wash infiamed eyes there is no absorbent cotton, only tissue paper. Th?
result is that these forms of skin disease in children sorntimes progress to
dangerous poInt. There was a little chlld in one of the wards in Halle
whose body was covered so thickly wlth scars that it was imposslble to nd
square inch of skin that had escaped. This was a case of furuncnlosi,
or multiple bolls, so severe that it had been nscessary to make elghty or
ninety inclsions to let out the suppuration.
As for the effect of the hunger blockade on the aged, we heaid a great
deal, but perhaps the curves of mortallty shown to us In Chemnitz will teil
the tale as well as anything. The year 1917, when the great rise in the
number of deaths is seen, was the year of the "turnip months," when for
three or four months there was almost nothing to eat in Saxony but turnips,
and the old people could not digest such food.
A very serlous effect of the lack of soap is the increase of body para-
sites. In Berlin, we were told, there aro now as many as 100,000 houses
infested wlth lice. Typhus ls endemic in Berlin sine the war and unless
these houses can be rld of lice before the cold weather comes on, an
epldemic of typhus is inevitable.
In common gratltude we feel we must not dose without referring to
the sine splrit of courtesy wlth which the Germans reeeived us. We had j
not expected it, indeed it seemed to us that lt would be almost unendurable
for them to have merabers of the vtctorious nation. of the nations that I
had niaintained the hunger blockade, evcTi after Germany's surrender, come
In and survey the havoc they had wrought. Perhaps there is such a splrit
to be found in Germany, but not among the people we met. Doctors,
urses, men and women who are work Ing against tuberculosis, to keep
chlldren healthy, to preveot youthful erinie and f oster education, these
people are way past the point of bitterncss. What they are facing is the
shipwrerii of a nation and they have no time for resentnients. They realize
that If fiilo does not com auickly aid abundantly, this geceratioa In
Germany is largely doomed, to early death or a handicapped Ilse.
Many tlmes, of course, we were asked about the war and encountered
a state of rnlnd which we can only describe as pure dewilderment. W
were asked in perfect faith, "Why does all the world feel Juatified in hating
us, what have we done, why are we considered so dlfferent from other peo
ple?" It was easy to repeat the well known charges, but to them the Inva
sion of Belglum had been reported as a rnllltary necessity in a rlghteous
war bt self-defense; ' they had never heard of the Bryce report and of the
deportations from Lilie and Belglum they had but the vaguest rumor.
Whereas the contlnuatlon of the food blockade during the months of the
armlstlce, when they bad seen their childreii and old people sicken and die,
had been to them' the helght of cruelty, not to be explalned by their well
known phrase, "It i war." It was apparently imposslble to make clear
the rough justice in the Entene's demand for 140,000 milk cows to replace
those which five year? before had been driven out of France and Belglum.
What was. to be gained by starving more chlldren, now that the war was
over? they asked. ,
The "pacifists" wlioin we met, as those were called who had urged that
Germany, trust to the generosity of the Entente and to negotiations based
upon the fourteen points, were at the moment of our vlsit under the harsh
est possible criUcism, even from their fellow citizens who acknowledged
that it ha,d been Imposslble to continue the war. Much remains to be done
In the way of Interpretation and honest discussion before even a beginnlng
of mutual tinderstanding can be made. 1
