NEW YORK, Tuesday
Yon Gwynner, president of the Deutsche Bank, and a proposed candidate for the presidency of Germany, interviewed in Berlin, stated: —"German finances hang by a thread. The war was frightful, but this is worse. Every day SOS people die of starvation, and the infant mortality since the armistice lias reached 50 per cent. The Prussian railroads have gone, and cannot transport coal. We cannot get lish from Scandinavia. Germany is holding together by faith in President Wilson. Spartaeism is gaining a hold among the people. Unless the blockade is lifted, plundering and.pillaging will start. Socialism will reduce Germany to a puerile, pathetic nation."
