knows that the sacrifices will not be
in vain. The grant of new millions

ALLOWANCE is INCREASED

~ 4TNsOtIuItu fTeSS
Berlin. via London, Aug. 21.-Bar-
Inns daily bread allowance has been
increased from 200 to 225 gramms, a
result of careful estimate of the 1915
wheat crop. Individual municipalities
have been given permission to issue
cards calling for $50 or 255 gramms
of bread daily to laborers. The in
creased allowances are made possible
by the revised estimate of the years
wheat crop, which is said to have been
underestimated at first because of the
prevailing bad weather.

per cent of the capacity, but are not
