Amsterdam, Jan. Abby Associ-

her marked probably the blacklist
period in the history of the German
food supply not indeed in the actual
supply. but in the outlook for the
winter and spring. The public had
already became aware that the
bread stuffs harvest was poor and
the fodder harvest bad but fur
Their revelations came rapidly during
the month which must hav can all
but catastrophe effect on thinking
people in Germany. The supply of
vegetables, it became known, is very
inadequate everywhere, there is hard
ly any prospect of help from the fish
trade. and an alarming drop is
shown in the prospects of the al
ready scanty supplies of milk, butter
and fat
Finally, on top of all this. it be-
came clear during November that the
potato harvest is disappointing in the
extreme. The quantity shown in the
official returns is indeed so disap-
pointing that the authorities refuse
10 accept the revised estimates. de-
clare the farmers liars, and propose
to call in the military to requisition
stocks. MoreovAr, the quality in diff
ferent parts of the Empire is re-
ported as extremely poor, so that an
unsusal percentage of loss can be &C
counted on with certainty.
1t is now regarded as certain that
both the meat and bread rations will
have to be reduced in the early
spring, despite a desperate effort to
gather up all the remaining food
stuffs in the occupied territories. This
latter movement is likely to be ex-
tended to extreme limits during the
winter. with the result that the in
habitants of all occupied territories
face the prospect of absolute star
