A GERMAN BLUFF.
Food Generosity Is Based on Belief Wa
Will Soon Terminate.

Copenhagen. Nov l9.-The view that
the German authorities are pursuing q
policy of bluff at the present time il
granting food allowances considerably
higher than are justified by the crops OF
the year, seemingly is confirmed by the
recent food debates in the Prussian diet
In these debates il was stated that Il
probably would be necessary to reduce
both the meat and bread rations March
in order to make the stocks last
through.
The bread ration already has been re-
duced once, and the extent of the wheat
and rye crops, il is considered undoubt-
edlv viii necessitate another heavy re-
ducti0n in the spring. It was stated in
the debates that the longer the redue-
tion was postponed the more drastic viii
be the cut.
The laboring classes generally are com
planning that the present potato allow
ance 81 a pound day Is inadequate.
The food authorities. according TO all
information reaching here, appear 10 be
gambling on the chances Of peace before
spring. and now have set great hopes on
the results Of Russian and Italian de-
yelopmcnts
