STARVING GERMANY" IS PHRASE USED ONLY TO CREATE MERCY Sergeant Critchlow Deplores Propaganda; Belgian and French People Declared Needy Portland Told to Ignore Appeal. BY SERGEANT HARRY B. CRITCH LOW. t.Serprean.t Harry B. Critchlow, author of the acocinpanyinR article, formerly was a Portland newspaper man. lie is now on the staff of the Stars and Stripes, the soldiers' publication in Prance, and is in Germany With the Army of Occupation in that capac ity.) MONTABAUR. Germany. Dec. 14. (Special.) "Starving Germany!" Just a phrase with two simple words, but when released from the pen of the propagandist they were thought to car ry an appeal which would temper the kMletf world with mercy, when mercy should not be shown. To those in the states whose merciful charities have extended far during the long four and one-half years of war these words might have had an appeal that made the crimes in Belgium and France for gotten. But to the member of the Army of Occupation who has marched throui Rhineland and then across the historic river into Germany proper the phrase brings laughter. Ten days ago I crossed the Moselle River, which separates the neutral odluntry of Luxemburg from Germany, and found my feet upon German soil. It was night when the crossing was made and I had been all day without food. My destination was Treves, but 1 thought that even though the city w is large, it would be impossible for me to secure a meal, because "Germany ia starving." Upon arrival at a hotel in 'he city I secured a room. "Can 1 secure dinner?" 1 sked the proprietor of the hotel, who spoke good English. "Why, certainly: right this -way." he replied, and led me into a fine dining room, where waiters In full dress stood waiting. 1 ordered a regular dinner and when it came I almost fell out of my chair wnn surprise. mere was a large por tion of roast beef, cabbage, potatoes, mushrooms, carrots, rye bread and cof fee, andthe bill came to only 7 marks or approximately Jl. figuring from the present rate of exchange. In Paris I could not have seeurerl i i,.-.tt. for twice the money; and France has never sent out an appeal to the wide world to help her starving people. Many times I have seen little French children gathering around the Yarfkee kitchens, gazing with appealing eyes from pinched and hunger-worn faces at the food upon the tables. I hav seen diem pick up crumbs from the streets and eat them greedily, for they truly , have been hungry. But since I have been in Germany, and I am 20 miles beyond the Rhine now, I have failed to see either child or grown per son with a face that signified real hun- VOGUE PA TTERNS if used in planning your Spring garments, will produce the most delightful and most satisactory result you can possibly hope for.

True, there is a scarcity of white bread, but the absence of that alone will not starve one. Several times in Belgium, in the wake of a retratlng German army. I have seen civilians cutting the steaks from the quarters of dead horses which fell while pulling up artillery. Never would a German under the present conditions lower the dignity of his unwririkled stomach to eat horse meat, and he would scorn that which came from the carcass of a horse that died from over work. . I have passed through the streets of Cobleni and have seen confectionery stores advertising the sale of candy. t pon entering I have purchased candy that compared very favorably with any I ever tasted in my own country. Today in England and France candy is almost a dream of the past, but these "starv ing Germans" still eat it and have it to sell to the invading Americans. Food Found in Abundance. Potatoes are plentiful; cabbage grows in abundance; the butcher shops still run; countless chickens are found in the back yards and there seems to be an abundance of everything with the exception of white flour. The banks of the Rhine on both sides are as steep s the sides of Mount Hood, yet these mountatn-ciimbing Germans have made supports of stone to hold the loose soil, washed from the rocks, and upon this plUJited vineyards and gardens. Each mountain side is a mass of grape vines and garden plants. The greatest por tion of the land that is fll for cultiva tion has grown or is now growing a crop and much of the land that would not be thought ht for cultivation is growing its portion of food. If those mountains were in the United States no one but a Mazama would ever climb them and the man who would suggest the planting of a garden upon their sides would be adjudged n fit subject to board with Dr. Steiner. But just such a system as Germany uses in the cultivation of her land has enabled her to co.ntinue the war for four and one half years. Warning Issued to Portland. "My reason for telling of tflis "starva tion business" (With GermVny it is a business of securing mercy) is to keep the people of Portland who might be tempted to give money from believing that the propaganda 1s true. Last Tuesday morning another sol dier and 1 were endeavoring to make our way to Coblenz by way of Boppard ami the Rhine. Through long miles of marching troops we had driven our car w ithout being halted. At last a Major called us to a halt and announced that we were arriving at the head of the advance guard of the Army of Occupa tion and could not proceed further without a pass. I showed him a pass that has in times past permitted me to go most anywhere, but it would not suffice in this case. "You can see the Colonel," he said kindly. "Possibly he can help you.' Soon down the road came a motor cycle with side car and In the car sat a young Lieutenant-Colonel.

I put on all the mili tary acting I could and asked the Colo nel If 1 could pass with the car. "No. mv orders arc that no one gets' by the advance guard." said the Colonel in a decisive way that reminded mc very much of someone I had acen be- for and heard much of. "Drive your car in at the rear of the columns of the advance company and follow." There was no use arguing the point. so I did as told. "Can It be possible that the Colonel is any relation of Theodore Roosevelt?" 1 asked u doughboy. "Why. Teddy is the Colonel s dad." was the reply. "There is no chance of you a-ettriiK by him; he's a real soldier. Say. did you ever hear of his lighting at Cantigny? Then he told me tne story. Then it was Major Roosevelt, com mander of a battalion of the I6th In fantry, First Division. He was at the head of the battalion when the fight started. Two minutes had hardly passed when a nearby doughboy fell. The young Major did not hesitate a minute, but reached down and took the rifle and belt from the fallen man ana. attached the bayonet and went into the right as though he were only a humble doughboy. That night he was gassed so bad 'lie could hardly walk and his eyes were almost blinded. He was or dered by the surgeon to leave the field, but he refused and remained with his men.
