A PROFESSOR'S PREDICTION.
Professor Carl Ballod, writing in tii "Preussische Jahrbucher," at the end of June, claimed that in the event of war under the then existing conditions the West German industrial population would be faced in a few weeks with an appalling calamity, as bread would reach an impossible price. 11l the first year meat and milk consumption would have to be reduced 80 per cent., but bread also would become scarce unless Germany constructed huge corn stores in the industrial centres, and keeps in times of peace permanently stored there one year's requirements. This conclusion is interesting because apparently Germany is no better off than Free Trade Eng-
land in respect of food supplies in time of war. The unexpected lias happened and war has come before the Professor's advice could be followed.
