OCCUPYING TROOPS FIND NO SCARCITY IN GERMANY.
Australian Mid N.Z. Cable Association
LONDON, Dec. 4.
A British war correspondent accompanying the Americans on their entry into Treves, says that the only people showing signs of hardship and starvation were the allied war prisoners, who were gaunt pictures of misery, clad in rags. General orderliness was well preserved. The condition of the city was a contrast to the wide devastation in France and Belgium.
The correspondent of the New York Times with the American Army at Treves, says that in view of Germany .asking the United States to reed her, the Americans were astonished at the plentiful supply of food in Treves, the inhabitants of which showed no trace of ill-nourish-ment. Though food prices were high, they were cheaper than Paris prices.
