 From Scandinavia and Holland, the British information sets forth. enough fat is going into Germany to supply r., 100000 soldiers, virtually the entire army of electives in the empire. Ger man imports from these countries, 1t is declared, reduced to ca1ories, will troops, the size of the German army in the west.
 German purchases of foodstuffs abroad are made through the govern ment department of the interior which has organized a. special division to buy from the neutrals.
 The British data carry the following table as representing the minimum of food exports from Scandinavia and Holland to Germany in 1916:
 Butter 82,6OO metric tons; meat 115,- 500 tons; pork products 68 300; con- densed milk 7O,000; fish 407; cheese 80.500; eggs 46.400; potato meal T79,- 500; coffee 58,500; fruit 74,000; sugar 12 900; vegetables 215, 600.
 These figures are most impressive. 1t is asserted, in relation to fats, the scarcest food in Germany. Fat it is claimed, is the only food seriously lacking now in the diet of the German people. Imports of this food, the British declare, furnish one-fourth of the daily German fat ration
