Show ' WORLD-WIDE SUFFERING ON ACCOUNT OF THE WAR. All the world suffers from the war and will continue to suffer J more and more until some time after peace is declared. Those who have had no part in the war suffer almost a3 much as the nations engaged in it, except in the actual loss of life. Among those in great distress is. Switzerland. Consul Haskell at Geneva reports that there is a great shortage in coal of all kinds, an in-. in-. sufficient supply of wood for fuel, and small reserves in oils and j jrease. Soaps are scarce. Corn meal is difficult to obtain in any quantity. There is also a lack of cheese, and fresh eggs have disappeared dis-appeared from the markets. . . . " Besides that, the stocks of coffee and sugar are almost ex-' ex-' hausted and the dried vegetables that have been imported have all been consumed. This state of suffering has been brought about by the "unrestricted", submarine warfare, neutral vessels having been sunken by the score. There will be no relief from this situa-tiou situa-tiou until the German junker army is overthrown, and Vvhoever loes anything that will retard that event is an enemy of mankind. The dispatches indicate that there is even more suffering in Hol-' Hol-' land and the Scandinavian countries than'in Switzerland. |
