RATIONS IN GERMANY.
MEAT RUNNING SHORT.
MORE BREAD IN AUGUST. (Received June 27. 1 a.m.) AMSTERDAM. JUNE 25. A message from Berlin says that Herr Batocki, Food Dictator, states that a temporary prohibition of the consumption of meat may perhaps be expected in September. New meat tickets 'were being issued that day, allowing ten ounces of meat per head weekly. Bread rations for the working classes would be increased in August. The bread reserve upon which the country was now living had only been made possible by economy in grain enforced by the War Department. If the Central Purchase Committee had been" unsuccessful in regard to imports of grain, Germany would have been seriously embarrassed. It depended upon the result of the harvest whether the present rations could be continued. The cold weather during May had done damage, but the crops promised good yields if the harvest weather were good. He'rr Batocki added that he considered communal feeding in large towns to be desirable.
