Indications are that the average Ger

provisioning agreement with tho
Allies.
Tho newspaper, In reducing tho
totals to figures In pounds per capita,
take as the basis OF their estimates the
population before tho war and work
out IA" result at ten pounds monthly
per person The Food Administrator
figures eighteen pounds, which results
from computntion upon the basis OF
population of A5OOOuO, excluding the
self providers on the farms. This means
that the allotment would be half pound
OF flour ana IA tenth OF pound OF fats
per day TO supplement the waning der
man food stocks.
There Is provision in the agreement
that no food shall be allotted to those
who are unemployed through their own
