FOOD SHORTAGE
ENEMY'S MORE SERIOUS THAN OURS. London, November G. .Sir Arthur Tapp (Director of Food' Economy), in a speech in London, said that, while our food position was serious, the position of the Central Powers was still more serious. Tho only commodity Germany had in any degree resembling us was potatoes, of which the allowance was seven pounds per head weekly. There was no tea in Germany. The weekly ration in Germany of bread or flour was five pounds for a person doing heavy, and four and a quarter pounds for others; meat, nine ounces; sugar, six ounces; butter, three and a half ounces. Twenty-six eges were allowed each person per year.—Reuter.
