GERMAN PUBLIC CRITICISED

OFFI Cl ALL Y-INSPI RED WAR NINGS. United Press Assn. siy Electric Telegrauh — Couyright. LONDON, January 4. Am officially-inspired campaign is proceeding in Germany with a view to bridging the widening gulf between the home and military fronts,, says the “Daily Telegraph’s ' diplomatic cor respondent. The Nazi Press recently has been severely chastising the people for their attitude to wounded men or men on leave. One newspaper denounces narrow-minded people who boredly say, “I don't want to hear any more about war or politics; I am fed up with the whole affair.’’ A Hamburg restaurant owner has been arrested for refusing a table to wounded soldiers when several tables were vacant. The newspaper warns people that they must not use compartments in trains reserved for wounded soldiers, and adds that unpleasant scenes have occurred. A Leipzig newspaper gives several instances of churlishness toward soldiers, even among children. A soldier in a letter to this paper says. “We no longer notice this impoliteness, but it hurts.” The “National. Zeituug” contains a letter exhorting the homeland not fo r S et the military front in spite of the trials and tribulations of everyday life.
