STARVATION IN BERLIN.

GERMAN PAPER’S STATEMENT.

FIGHTS FOR SCRAPS OF MEAT. LONG QUEUES OUTSIDE SHOPS. London, Oct. 31. The Vorwaerts says it is no exaggeration to say that thousands in Berlin are struggling daily to obtain a scrap of meat or a morsel of lard. There is an absence of weapons, but nad language makes the light no less bitter. Many women declare that they have spent three or four consecutive nights in interminable food lines outside shops, unable once to obtain food.—Times and Sydney Sun Cables,
