In Germany, we read, a wave of |influenza and other respiratory diseases has followed a ban on the heating of houses and the use of hot water during a winter of pitiless severity. In France, with millions of men under arms, the women behind the lines struggle to keep their shops open and the nomic life of the country moving. In England prices rise, economic dislocation increases, and ra- tioning of all kinds grips civlian life until the com- forts of normal times become but a distant memory. | Neutral Denmark, a cold country in the best of winters, shivers in below-zero weather at a time of serious fuel shortage. An anxious Danish Govern- | ment has just banned the use of hot water until April and has ordered the temperature of all build- ings lowered until warm weather returns. LOOKING AT IT FRANKLY ago the Danes were the happiest, most carefree - - people of Europe; today they are swept up inexora- bly by the hardships of a war that makes no distinc- tion between belligerents and neutrals, between fight- nen and non-combatants behind the lines Probably European morale can withstand far who do not measure up to some stand-| ;. than the sufferings of this terrible winter be- eltvered B MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS.
