SUPPLIES FOR GERMANY.
USE OF FRENCH CORN. TAKING BELGIAN HORSES. Times and Sydney Sun Services. London, November 13. German prisoners state that while the artillery is holding the allies, thousands of the Landsturm are working in the fields threshing the corn with the French farmers' machinery, and using ammunition waggons to cart immense quantities of beet and cereals to the railways for transport to Germany. Maestricht (Holland) reports show that the Germans have commandeered or purchased all the horses in Flanders, and are assembling them at Ostend, whence they will be sent to Ghent and Brussels."
