The. dis tr4bution of flour is going on under rather rigid restrictions.
 The grain was obtained just in time to avoid serious trouble with the pop alace which had become very ugly over. the prospects of famine Great preparations are being made for naak- ing the next harvest as ample as pos sible All agricultural faborers now with the army are to have fourteen days leave for the spring planting. and are required to spend this time in the same locality where they work ed last year. The government has Iso announced that groups of sol diers from the reserves, twenty men in each group, may be rented Tor sgrfc1IturaI work on application | from approved landowners
 Prnhzb1y no attempt will be made to employ prisoners of war for this work inL Hungary as the camps where the prisoners are tnterned are hot beds of contagious diseases and the prisoners would spread them all over the country.
