prospective date for the harvest has
been still further deferred by the con

since the revised scheme Of distribu-

Prussia, two of the great grain dis

Under the circumstances the au-

reducing the bread ration or con-
fronting a hiatus OF more or less du-
ration between the time of the eX-
haustion of the present stocks and the
incoming of the new crop of -four.
This is an unpleasant prospect for the

check the strike movement by the
positive assurance that neither the

II is true that, in accordance with
