Reckoning five pounds of potatoes as equal ',in food value to one pouind of - grain,. Herr Von Batocki figured the total supply available for mhan and beast as equivalent to 2,000,000 tons of grain less than' last year, since the increase of 4,000,000 tons 'in the grain harvest is more than counterbalanced by the de rease in the potato crop, amounting to 30,000,000 tons. The shortage of potatoes also af fects the supply of meat, milk, but ter, etc., since it has necessitated util ization of turnips for food and pro, hibition of the use of the gain for fodder.* Each hundredweight of turnips of which, the cattle are deprived means a reduction of fifteen quarts in the milk supply. . Supply From Rumania. The foodstuffs captured in Rpmania furnished a welcome and valuable ad dition, Herr Von Batocki said, but owing to transportation difficulties will be available only graduilly. The problem of food supply is being brought home to Berlirn by discus sions regarding the introduction of a | standard bread. The proposed aboli tion of wheatpn rolls and the issue f of uniform loaves of mixed rye and to wheat are objectionable both to the upper classes, which prefer the tast- t ier rolls, and to the workers, Rho will la have to pay more for the mixed loaf bi thsn for the present rye bread. How- t ever, the authorities declare the it change is inevitable, or the weekly t< bread ration would have to be re- a duced. cc The difficulties are due not to any b reduction in the total supply foy Ber lin, but to the fact that the better k classes, which formerly consured fii only 'part 'bf their %readratfon, now a are using. it down to the last roll. a Another factor consists ' of the sup plementary rations issued. to the working classes to eke out inadequate s supplies of other articles of food. The bread problem also has been accentu. ated recently by the severe winter conditions.
