AUSTRO-GERMANY.
EVADINC THE BLOCKADE. LARGE IMPORTATIONS OB PAT. UNIVERSAL PIG-BREEDINC Received Oct. 20, 1.8 a.m. ' London, Oct. 25. Mr. Curtin says that Germany contimwlly evades the blockade, and is obviously importing fat by the presence of thousands of barrels at her quaysides. There is no tea drinking, but tin* Germans are drinking vast quantities of cocoa and chocolate. The cattle stocks are four-flfthr of those prior to the war, and pigs have diminished 75 per cent., owing to indiscriminate slaughterings in 1915 The authorities are now insisting upon universal pig-breeding, and arc posting rural notice that not to keep and fatten pigs is an act of treason to the Fatherland. Food rationing is badly organised, dearth and plenty alternating in different districts. The ticket system was arranged on the assumption of a speedy victory and the war finishing in 1915, which led to reekless consumption and increased prices. The system w>l! probably be reorganised to meet the coming winter's distress.
