The (Jerman war bread, which cveiyone is now being urged to cat (states the Argonaut) does not seem to constitute a very serious hardship. Its distinguishing feature is the admixture of potatoes, iiiid a very toothsome and wholesome admixture it is, as those who have tried it will testify. The bread that was seived out during the siege of Genoa was very different from this. Marbot, who had to eat it or go without it, says it was "a horrible compound of damaged flour, Kfiwdust, starch, hair powder, oatmeal, linseed, rancid nuts, and other nasty substances, to which ft little solidity was given by the admixture of a small portion of cocoa. Each loaf, moreover, was held together by little bits of wood, without which it would have fallen to powder. General Thicbault, in his journal of the siege, compares this bread to peat mingled with oil."
