ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Venice April 6.-There have been
so many contradictory rumors of the
state Of the food supply in Vienna that
it is interesting to find in the latest is
sue Of the Neue Wiener Journal a
verbatim report of speech on this
subject by the Burgomaster Of Wen
ma, DR.. Weiskirchner. He says in
part:
I'VE shall not starye, but we must
so arrange our consumption of food
that we can last out till the next har-
vest. l can say confidently that the
municipality has done everything
that lies in it's power. Anticipating
the coming state of affairs, l began
buying in supplies of flour as early as
last August. In that month alone
bought five hundred thousand dollars
worth of foodstuffs, and since then we
have expended three million dollars
more in the same way.
II am not to blame for the fact that
certain contracts which we placed
have not been fulfilled. The blame
for this rests with certain of our neu-
trail neighbors. In Rumania we placed
a contract for several thousand wag-
on loads Of wheat, but we have not yet
received a single wagon. The Ruman-
ians took our money. but have so far
kept the wheat in their own territory.
Let me give you another example
of our difficulties. I purchased in
Rumania 200 car loads of beans, but
the consignment could not be immedi-
ately delivered owing to the shortage
OF cars on the railroads. Now Ru-
mania has placed an export tax Of
5000 in gold on each car load!
I'm September last 1 purchased
wheat in America. The ship was
fortunate enough to reach Genoa
without being molested. But Italy
now refuses to let the wheat pass
through to US, and 1t has therefore
had to be sold in Genoa harbor
Even from Hungary we have not
yet received the wheat that we pur-
chased. They should remember that
we are waging common war, and
the time is now come when Hungary
must let us have her surplus. sup

ordinary way by pouring boiling water
on the barley. letting it boil for shor
time, and then straining it and adding
