GERMANY.
COMPULSORY VEGETARIANISM Berlin, June 26. HeTr von Batocki, food dictator, states that a temporary prohibition of the consumption of meat may perhaps be expected in September. Now meat tickets are being issued to-day allowing ten ounce's of meat per head weekly. The bread rations of the working classes would be increased in August. The bread reserve whereupon the country is now living was only made possible by the economy or drain under the War Department. If the Central Purchase Company had been unsuccessful with regard to imports of grain we should have been seriously embarrassed. It depends on the result of the harvest whether the present rations can be continued. The cold weatfier during May has done damage, but* the crops promise good yields if the harvest weather is good. Herr yon Batocki considers communal feeding in large towns desirable.
