GERMANY.
FOOD RUNNING SHORT. AN EXPERT'S OPINION. ~ Received June 26, 10.40 p.m. Berlin, June 20. Br. Batocki, food dictator, states that the temporary prohibition of consumption of meat may perhaps be expected to last until September. New meat tickets arc being issued to-day, allowing ten ounces of meat per head weekly. Bread ratings to the working classes would be increased in August. The bread reserve, upon which the country is now living, can only be made possible by economy jf grain under tlhe War Department. If the Central Purchase Company had been unsuccessful in regard to imports of grain, we would have beeu seriously embarrassed. Much depends upon the result of the harvest as to whether the present rations can be continued. The cold weather during May has done damage, out the crops promise good yields if the harvest weather is good. Dr. Batocki considers that communal feeding in large town:; is desirable. PENALTY FOR AVAR TREASON. Amsterdam, June 25. Dr. Liebknecht's trial for attempted war treason, involving fifteen years' penal servitude, has been fixed for June 28.
