The British proposals were found to be inacceptable to Germany largely on account of the fact that this country is unable to give the guarantee de- manded by Great Britain for the sim- ultaneous feeding of Serbia, Monte- negro and the section of Poland occu- pied by Austria as a condition for permitting food for Poland to pass the Germany is willing ry The result probably will be that Ger- make a counter proposal, first offer providing for importation of food for Polish towns at the expense of the German government, a guarantee for more adequate rationing of the coun- try population, and an absolute prom- ise that no provisions will be exported from Poland except possibly the sur- plus of potatoes, provided neutral commissioners establish the fact that Food supplies ev- strip along the front, will be reserved solely for the inhabitants and for the needs of the occupying army, includ- ing police forces in the smaller towns and rural districts where it is diff- cult to obtain a direct supply.
