CONSERVE GERMAN SUPPLY OF
FOOD

Berlin, Jan. 26,-The federal coun-
Ill has put into effect sweeping regula-
ions for the conservation Of the food
;upply as follows:
"All stocks of corn, wheat and -four
ire ordered seized by Great Britain
February 1.
All transactions in these commodi-
ties are forbidden from January 26.
"All municipalities are charged
with the duty Of setting aside suitable
supplies of preserved meat.
THE owners Of corn are ordered to
report their stocks Immediately,
yhereupon confiscation, at a fixed
price, will follow.
"A government distributing office
5or the regulation Of consumption will
ne made according to the number of in
habitants.
THE Imperial Gazette today pub
fishes the following notice regarding
the cOnfiscating Of grain:
"Thcrei is no doubt that the meas
IRE ordered taken cuts much deeper
into the economic life Of our people
than all the other economic regula-
tions hitherto adopted by the federal
council during the war. 1t Is however,
necessary in order to make certain
the sufficiency and regular supply of
our people with breadstuffs until the
next threshing Of thenew harvest and
is besides a necessity Of life for the
government and the nation.
"The steps heretofore taken have
proved themselves not far reaching
enough to bring about the sparing use
Of our limited supplies Of breadstuffs
which, however, are in reality suffl-
cient for our needs. In particular the
measures hitherto introduced have
not prevented the feeding Of bread
grain to cattle.
THE present order gives us the
certainly that our enemies plan to
starve Germany will be upset and as
Sures us Of plentiful bread until the
next harvest"

Ancient Artisans in Africa.

The question has often been asked:
Was there any earlier race in occupa-
tion of the area in Africa at present
held by the Bantus? In Man w. H.
Beech reports that in the Kikuyu coun-
try some ancient pottery has been said
to be the work of people called Gum
ba, who displaced the Miathoachiana,
cannibal dwarfs.
These Miathoachiana are now be-
lieved to be earth-gnomes, skilled in
the art of iron working. Mr.. Beech,
with some amount of plausibilty, sug-
gests that they were possibly BUSH
men, pygmies, or both, and that they
were a local indigenous race of the
stone age who used flint instruments
often found in the Kikuyu country.
The Gumba are said to have made
pottery and to have taught the Kikuyu
the art of smelling. They may have
been pre-Bantau Hamite invaders; but
of this there is no evidence and the
legend may tend to show that the
first discovery of iron was made in
Africa.
