STRANGLING GERMANY ALLIED WAR ASMS LONDON, April 5 The strangulation of Germany by the blockade and the increasing importance of the war of supplies made today’s war news. M. Bonnet, after a conference with the British Minister, said: “The Allied blockade is causing unemployment in Germany's heavy industries through the lack of essential raw materials. We decided on now measures to choke Germany more and more, including even the purchase of goods which Britain and France do not want. The blockade is the best means of saving bloodshed, because it will weaken Germany until a point i 9 reached when we can strike a decisive Mow. The blockade indisputably is seriously affecting Germany regarding petrol, rubber, textiles and many other goods.” Today’s other important declaration of the Allied trading policy was Lord Woollen's launching of a food conser • vat-ion campaign for nation-wide mobilisation in the kitchen, in which he declared: “If each wastes a slice of bread daily we loso 30 shiploads of wheat yearly. Uso less sugar. It is •iifficult to supply. It Is a patriotic duty not to waste any part of potatoes. One unnecessary spoonful of tea means 60 shiploads yearly.” JUDGE STABBED IN SERIOUS CONDITION LONDON. April 5 Mr Justice Burgis, chairman of the Lancashire and Cheshire Conscientious Objectors’ Tribunal, was stabbed four times in the back when boarding a train at Manchester. He was admitted to hospital with severe wounds. His condition is serous. A man was arrested.
