The helpless little babies, lying on the cold, wet cement floor and crying for proper nourishment, were enough to bring hot tears to any mother's eyes. "Mothers were vainly besieging the authorities, begging for milk or soup. A mother with twelve children said: "What is to become of us? It seems impossible to suffer more.
