LITERALLY STARVING
ACUTE SITUATION IN AUSTRIA
AND HUNGARY
PUBLIC KITCHENS CLOSED,
(KEDTER'S TELEGRAM.). (Received February 22, 3 p.m.)
■ LONDON, 21st February. A well-informed Budapest correspondent writing to the Morning Post shows that the situation in Austria and Hungary is acute, especially in the big cities. The situation at Prague is almost inconceivable, - being absolutely without fuel, including the hospitals at the famous PragUß Clinique, where all serious operations have been postponed.
The' appalling, situation at Vienna, and Budapest. can be partially realised from the fact that it is officially admitted that 73 per cent. less foodstuffs are, com,ing in than was the case a few weeks ago, consequently tens 'of thousands of people are literally starving owing to the closing of the public kitchens.
Meanwhile the newspapers are full of telegrams from Berlin stating that Italy, France, and England are on starvation rations;- that England must succumb; but the populace is past caring what happens in England. They want food, and something to cook it with.
