More Economical Feeding
Necessary in Germany

Berlin. Jan. IS, via London, Jan,
"a. - The advisory committee of the
war food bureau has concluded a two
day session devoted to general re-
view of the food situation.
Herr Batocki said that the chief
difficulty lay in the shortage of the
potato crop. enhanced by transporta-
tion troubles. He said that although
the grain crops had been better than
in 1915 the total nutritive value of the
grain and potatoes together was less
and economical feeding was neces-
sary TO carry the population to the
end of the crop year. Considerable
supplies were available in Rumania
according to Herr Batocki but ship,
ments could not be made in the
quantities needed and hence the
actual supplies were short and rigid
organization of distribution was
necessary.
