GERMAN FOOD SODRTAGE
FURTHER REDUCTIONS IN MEAT
AND BREAD RATIONS MAY
BE NECESSARY
Amsterdam, Dec. 25.-(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press.)- The
month of November marked probably
the blackest period in the history of
the German food supply, not indeed, in
the actual supply, but in the outlook
for the winter and spring. The public
had already become aware that the
bread-stuffs harvest was poor and the
fodder harvest bad, but further revela-
tions came rapidly during the month
which must have an all but catastro-
phic effect on thinking people in Ger-
many. The supply of vegetables, it
became known, is very inadequate
everywhere, there is hardly any pro-
spect of help from the fish trade, and
an alarming drop is shown in the pro-
spects of the already scanty supplies
of milk, butter and fat.
Potato Crop Fails
Finally, on top of all this, it became
clear during November that the potato
harvest is disappointing in the ex-
treme. The quantity shown in the
official returns is indeed so small that
the authorities refuse to accept the re-
vised estimates. Moreover, the quality
in different, parts of the Empire is re-
ported as extremely poor, so that an
unusual percentage of loss can be
counted on with certainty.
May Reduce Rations
It is now regarded as certain that
both the meat and bread rations will
have to be reduced in the early. spring,
despite a desperate effort to gather
up all the remaining foodstuffs in the
occupied territories. This latter move-
nent is likely to be extended. to ex-
treme limits during the winter, with
the result that the inhabitants of all
occupied territories, face the prospect
of absolute starvation for Germany's
benefit.,
The failure of the fodder harvest
coincides with I a generally unsatis-
factory hay crop. This is leading to
increased slaughter of pigs, a fall-
ing off in the weight of cattle slaught-
ered, and a steady diminution in milk
and milk products. The place of meat
cannot be taken to any extent by
fish, for the supply of fish is very
po.or, and the authorities hold out no
hope of any improvement.
Newspapers Abandon Pretencea
The German newspapers have
abandoned the pretence that "things
will be easier this winter than last,':
but they still cling to the hope that
prAspects may be changed by some
miracle in Russia or Italy. The Berlin
correspondent of the Cologne Volks-
zeitung, discussing the prospects of
the fourth winter, says:
"It will be the hardest yet. Every
household will, feel its hardships more,
because all the small stocks in store-
rooms and cellars have been used up.
The harvest has not turned out well.
Nevertheless, the nation can hold outl
if three conditions are . fullfiled
Every possible surplus should be
brought in from Rumania, Belgium,
and France. All grain' musi be seiz-
ed for the common store. Potatoes
must be used for stretching the bread-
stuffs," -1

Illicit Trading Increases
The i'crease in illicit trading is
the subject of a fiery editorial in the
Brunswick Volksfreund, which says:
"As soon as an order is issued,
three-fourths of the population seek
how they may evade it. They have
lost faith in official promises, and the
fear of starvation has them in its grip.
For ham, eggs, butter and honey,
senseless prices are being paid, and
the rich alone can get them. Barter
is also playing a large part in pro-
curing provisions."
Junior Play T:y-outs To Be held Soon
Try-outs 'or the Junior Girls' play

are asked to see Emily Powell prompt-
ly, or to call her at Newberry resi-
dence. Several lyrics and some music
have already been turned in, and the
committee expects to have all the
preliminary woe k completed within a
short time.
