GERMANY'S FOOD TROUBLES.
ORGANISING SUPPLIES. A POOR HARVEST PROBABLE. ROTTERDAM, May 30. (Received Ma,y 31, at 8.20 p.m.) Berlin messages state that Herr von Batocks is carrying out the organisation of food supplies with characteristic Prussian thoroughness, securing inventories of food at all private houses. The municipality of Berlin had established 25 large kitchens to supply 020,000 persons daily. The price of the meal would be 35 pfennigs. Other municipalities had taken similar action. Communal feeding was originally intended for working-class districts, but many middle-class districts were in a sad plight, causing agitation in favour of the authorities feeding rich and poor in a uniform manner. The German harvest promises to be exceptionally poor. Prior to the war 700,OW) tons of nitrates were imported for agricultural purposes, but none has been uaed this year.
