Weird But Bloody Battle Over
an Army Bakery.
Hunger Their Motive, They
Scrap Over the LOayes.
GERMAN PEOPLE DISSATISFIED
Too Much Supervision May Re-
suit in RatiOns.
No Rubber for Cans and Canned
Fruit SpOils.

AT the German Front Near Kovel,
Russia, Sept. 1.-THE great battle of
bread" has just been fought at the
village of Zwinicze between Russian,
German and Austrian troops, with the
hoEors about even. The Germans
captured Zwinicze. brought up their
army bakery and had just turned out
10000 loaves when they were forced
TO retire. The regiment on their left
flank had failed to advance and the
retirement at Zwinicze was necessary
to straighten the lines.
The German entrenched a few hun
dred yards on one side of the village.
The Russians entrenched about the
same distance on the other side
A group of Germans slipped into
ZwinicZe and started back with all
the bread they could carry. The Rus
slams saw them but instea of firing
slipped out of their trenches for a
raid on the bakery. The Austrians
met at the army bakery with their
arms too full of bread to fight. But
when the supply began to run low,
some one drew a knife.
The battle was on in an instant
with both sides rushing up reinforce
around the bakery was strewn with
the dead bodies of the Russians, Ger
i mans and Austrians, some of them
still clasping their Ioaves of bread.
Dissatisfied in Germany.
Berlin. Sept. 12-The German peo-
pie are becoming more and more dis
satisfied with the new government
food department. Food supplies are
becoming more and more organized
until within a short time, if the dis
tribution of cards is continued. food
will be on an absolute ration basis.
Though the crops We're good this
year. there will be probably so much
Organization that food Will spoil, -
said one critical German
The lack of sugar, tin and rubber
has prevented many families from
doing their own canning and has had
a big effect on the canning factories
Families that forgot to save rubber
bands from last years fruit jars dis
covered that their fruit was doomed
to spoil this year
