German soup kitchens planned for this war
Basel, Switzerland Oct 28 German soup kitchens have become a decisive factor in Germany’s war effort. They sustain a population on tight meat rations by feeding hot soups and stews, stretching meat cards, and allowing meals at the kitchen or take-home portions. Municipalities fund and manage most kitchens with local charity, while government support is limited to allowances tied to soldiers’ grades. The system is vast, interlocking, and essential, yet burdens the empire’s public debt and municipalities.

Riders would buy commutation tickets punched by drivers, with proceeds going to the Red Cross or recreation finds, easing streetcar crowding. Such a plan could raise thousands and offer motorists a quick, meaningful contribution.
