B THE MEAT SHORTAGE. The shortage of the meat supply is a problem which is many In the condition countries. is such _that it has been to appoint a food dictator who has found the situation such that it has been necessary to restrict the use of meat to certain days in the week, and in Eng- lana might be necessary to make similar re- strictions in order to conserve the supply of meat. In the case of Ger- many it is of course recognized that it is seriously handicapped by the block- ade which has been set up against it by its enemies, but with England there is no such restriction, yet it is both- ered by the problem of getting it, the|steaks shipping problem being no small ob- stacle in view™df the great demand it has for vessels in other But it is not the belligerent coun- tries alone which are experiencing high prices or feeling the effects of & shortage in this food supply.

After a hasty glance at the memor- andum, the general listens to reports from the staff, which are rapidly com-, mented upon, while concise orders are given covering questions of detall; afterward projected orders of consid- erable consequence are submitted to the general by members of his staff, or submitted by him to the staff. General Joffre listens fo his officers with a rather detached air; has the appearance g: paying no at- tention to what is being said; then suddenly will surprise his staff by in- terrupting the reader of the report or letter and reaching out for it. When- ever a phrase or.a word strikes him, he insists upon reading for himself; he also follows for himself, pencil in hand, reports concerning military op- erations and movements of troops, and seeks out -for himself even the most insignificant points named in the des- patches.
