HUNGRY IEUTONS
~' GIETLE!S!s' BREAD
Grain Supplies Are Not Coming In
From ! Nations On Which
Germany Forced Treaties

AMSTERDAM, May 49, Associated
reEs)--Great disappointment is felt
in Germany at the failure to secure
grain from Russia, the Ukraine and Ru-
mania in the quantities expected and
which the people were led to believe
would come following the completion, of
peace negotiations.
Thus far only 1857 tons of grain has
been brought into Germany from the
Ukraine, it is announced by the Ger.
man papers and this is less than one
fifteenth of what Germany should have
received by this time. "
BY reason of the failure to secure
breadstuffs from the countries with
which the Central Powers have com
pleted peace treaties the shortage of
grain has become more acute than had
been expected and it has been found
necessary to further cut down the daily
bread ration for the civilians, reducing
il one fifth. While until now it has
been 200 grams per capita daily this Is
reduced by the new ratiOning order to
100 grams. The old ration was equiVa
lent to fraction more than seven
ounces daily and the new one is shade
less than five and two-thirds ounces.
The public is better at this further
eurtailment of their food allowance
when. other ratiOns are almost equally
scarce. Loud complaint is voiced by
the common people.
