AMSTERDAM. June 20.-Messages arriving here from Germany and Aus tria make it clear that the latest troubles in the dual monarchy over the food situation never have been equalled since the beginning of the war.
 The Austrian premier, Dr. Won Seyd- Ter. in statement to the press repre- sentatives at Vienna announced that as result of recent negotiations the Ger man government declared itself ready to advance to Austria certain quan- tity of grain and, he added, some hun dreds of wagon loads were already on the way.
 Premier Praises Germany
 Germany had again thus proved it's fraternal brotherhood to the alliance, but the food in Austria was still so scanty that it makes it still impossible | to yet remove the restrictions on bread. The readiness of Germany and Hungary to assist" said the premier. will alleviate in a short time the hardship yet to be suffered before the new harvest. The people who have dis played wonderful patriotism during the war, will certainly endure this last transitory restriction in a spirit of sac rifice, and thereby contribute to the successful termination of the conflict forced upon us."
