BERLIN, Feb. 2O.--(via Amster-
dam)-While statements that Ger
many faces starvation are eXaggerat-
ed, the food situation is admittedly
usually SO methodical, in this case is
greatly to blame. It's Boosting when
the war broke out, that the nation
had enough food on hand to last sew
eral years, were accepted as gospel
which should have been saved. To-
day only a complete change in the
methods of living, which is possible
through the exemplary discipline OF
the people themselves, can save the
situation. That this will take place
Is certain. Already partial change
has taken place. Here are the sue
cessive steps that have been taken to
conserve the food supply:
On January S, the federal council
decreed that from that date on 80 per
cent of flour must be milled from
rye; 80 percent from wheat: mill.
able wheat and rye must not be fed
as fodder to animals, while all wheat
flour must have added to it 80 per.
cent OF rye, and ~ per cent potato
flour. Rye bread must contain at
least 10 percent Of potato barley or
rye flour or 80 percent Of grated or
mashed potatoes. On January %,
the government decreed that all Ger.
cal flour and cereals in quantities CT
more than 220 pounds, whether in the
hands OF farmers, dealers or con.
sumers, was to be appropriated by
the government. Municipalities OF
5000 inhabitants or more were given
authority to appropriate swine and
to compel the baking of uniform
loaves Of bread. Sales of flour were
prohibited until February 1.
I Today the food supply of the nation
is in the hands Of officialdom. The
following are the regulations, uniform
in all municipalities of more than s.
900 inhabitants:

to assume strong offensive against
the Russians in front Of Warsaw. His
armies, exhausted by their efforts In

ward the Russian positions by their
officers, but their attacks have lacked
spirit and have been repuised Win

the Germans along the Rawa and the

broken by the Russian artillery.
