lowed by additional declines, and then
something Of a rally.

is the important puzzle OF me Wal.
The United States food administration
has got hold of some figures on the
standard German ration for noncom-
batants, which seem to indicate that
the Teutons are in desperate straits.
Figured in calories, the food value of
this ration is only 10000. This is not
sufficient nourishment to keep man
of lao pounds from losing weight
steadily. even if he does nothing but
lie on his back for "a hours day. If
he has work to do, he will eat up his
fat and then his muscular tissue, so
much the faster. If the figures re-
ceived by the food administration are
correct and are not supplemented by
other rations not mentioned, the civil
ian population Of Germany must fnev-
ltably be weakening fast.-Exchange
