STRANGLEHOLD OF NAVAL BLOCKADE.

GERMAN BREAD RATION AGAIN REDUCED. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) Received April 16, 9.15 a.m. LONDON. April 15. The Daily Chronicle’s Amsterdam correspondent says that Germany is desperately endeavouring to escape from the strangle-hold of, the naval blockade. The latest regulation reduces the scanty bread ration by a quarter, with the promise of an extra half pound of meat weekly, and the resumption of five pounds of potatoes. It is generally admitted that nothing since the war began has hit the people so hard as these regulations.
