GERMAN FOOD SITUATION
GROWS WORSE ~ WINTER
Pinch vi Hunger Becomes Accom-
paniment of War Sorrows for PeO-
pie at Home-PotatOes and Bread
Cheap but Limited in Quantity.

Stockholm, Jan. 20 (Staff Core
spondence of the Associated Press.J--
Food conditions in Germany have
changed greatly for the worse in the
last FIVE months. The correspondent
Of the Associated Press who had 0een
away from Germany since the first
week IN August, has just ret Lrned
from stay OF three weeks in Berlin.
He found that many staples pf foou
had altogether disappeared fiom the
markets, others had grown so dear
that they are beyond the reach OF
any except the we'll to do, the daily
allowance of potatoes had been re-
duced to ten ounces and that either
a shortage of -four or disordered dis
tribution of it among the bakers had
resulted in long queues of buyers
standing for hours in front of the
bakeries.
Maximum prices Of the foodstufs
controlled by the government are sti'l
very low for potatoes and bread and
comparatively low for meats. Pota-
toes cost only p cents the standard
bushel OF 50 POUNDS and bread lit
tie less than 8 1-2 cents a pound. But
the potato allowance is insufficient for
persons who have little except breaa
and potatoes to eat, and has to De
eked out with turnips. 1t had been
hoped TO allow one egg a person eacn
two weeks in Greater Berlin, but the
last one-egg allowance was made
some FIVE weeks aso and another is not
promised until February. When the
correspondent left Berlin in August it
was still possible to buy cheese. Since
the end of August there has been no
cheese on the market. 1t is said that
considerable quantities are being I'M,
ported from Holland but it goes ap-
parently to the front except for small
quantities allowed the restaurants and
hotels.
Canned Stuff Short.
Another serious reduction Of avail
able foodstuffs has heen the expro-
priation of control by the govern
ment of all canned vegetables. Four
or Eve weeks ago the dealers were
permitted to sell fractional part OF
their stock but only two cans on
each bread card. Permission to sell
