Recent Arrival in This Country Tells of Conditions There.
New York, Jan. 16.-While the people of Germany are living under a rationing system which provides much less food than was obtainable before the war, conditions in that country do not in the least approach a famine, according to Miss Lillian Goldman of this city, formerly connected with the American embassy in Berlin, who left the German capital about two months ago.
Although Germany is not starving, Miss Goldman said three and a half years of war have created a shortage in necessities that is felt throughout the empire, and officials have averted calamity only by establishing drastic conservation measures.
Germany did not realize the true character of America before this country entered the war, Miss Goldman said. "The declaration of war was a surprise," she added, to a people who had convinced themselves that America would not fight.
