TJIE WORLD ON RATIONS.
Food Restrictions in Some of the Eu-
ropean Countries.
Just how world-wide isfood ration-
ing is,,shown by the French Echo de
Paris, which publishes thefollowing
review of the food restrictions now
in effect;
Germany. _
,
The figures in regard to "German
Cood restrictions are known to us in
detail. Among the commodities on
short allowance in Germany worthy of
mention are bread, meat, grease, oil
'andpotatoes, ,
The bread allowance differs in vari-
ous cities from four' pounds a week
for every. person to five pounds (about
ten ounces a clay'for every person).
The'rneat allowance is nine ounces
a; week for every person.
As far as grease and food oils, in
eluding butter, are, concerned, the
weekly allowance is •two ounces, and
even these are not always distributed,
The official allowance of potatoes is
seven pounds a week for every per-
ron, But the distributionvaries in
different localities.
As to milk, adults can receive none
till needs of children, sick people and
nursing women are satisfied.
The
theoretical allowance for these three
classes was"formerly a pint and a i
hal recently f, e eptly it -has been reduced to 0
a pint. As to others, in most cities P
bread is,. eleven ounces a person.
Sweden it is nine and a- half ounce
Netherlands.

e Baron Plener, a German, speaking
before the
c Upper House of the Reichs-
tat, said he was sceptical regarding
4 the peace feeling in enemy countries.
"England,','` he declared, "will not be
ripe for peace for a long time yet.
Her military self-confidence has been,
so enormously increased through the
creation of a great army in such a
short period -that one cannot imagine
anything diverting British public
opinion from its war policy."

New Air Raid Alarm.
x uThe London authorities have begun
sing sound bombs, or rockets, as a
means of warning the populace of ap-
proaching air raiders. These bombs
consist of, cylinders about eight inches
long, weighing one pound each, which
are fired from small mortars by pull-
ing a lanyard s,attached to a fuse at
the nose. They rise some 300 feet in
the air, More than 200 of them were
sent, up from seventy-nine fire sta-
tions the first time they were used
and the result was pronounced very
satisfactory.` The public was inform-
ed about the rockets in 'advance so
that the significance of the peculiar
sound which they produced was under:.
stood.
