ALBANY, Ja. 80.—Tho Senate to- Germany undoubtedly will be able to! hold out until the next harvest if the supplies of food are husbanded and distributed carefully, although the stocks of provisions this year are scantier than in the two previous yefirs of the war, sald Adolph von Batocki, President of the Food Regu- lation Board, in an address yesterday which was prompted by the present troubles in food distribution, Reckoning five pounds of potatoes ag equal in food value to one pound of grain, Herr von Batocki figured the total supply available for man and beast an equivalent to 2,000,000 tons of grain leas than last year, since the increase of 4,000,000 tons in the grain harvest is more than counterbalanced by the decrease in the potato crop, mounting to 30,000,000 tons. ‘The ffootdstufts captured in Rou- | mania furnish a welcome and valu able addition, Herr von Batock! said, but owing to transport difficulties Will be available only gradual The problem of food supply 1s now being brought home to residents of Berlin in the most direct manner by the discussions regarding the intro-| duction of a standard bread, The Proposed abolition of wheaten rolls and the issue of uniform loves of mixed rye and wheat are objection- able both to the upper classes, which | prefer tho tastier rolls and to the working population, which will have to pay more for the mixed loaf than| for the present rye bread, However, the authorities declare the change is inevitable in order to ob- tain the maximum amount of bread from a given quantity of flour. Other- wiso the weekly bread ration would have to be reduced, The bread problem also bas been accentuated recently by the severe winter conditions, which not only have crippled the transportation ser- vice but have prevented farmers from opening potato cellars and exposing | their potatoes to the risk of freezing in transit. H These conditions, coupled with the trouble of obtaining bread on bread cards and the shortage of the meat! supply, e caused many well-to- do persons to take advantage of the municipal soup kitchens, where a nourishing and appetizing ration Is obtainable, Among these persona are members of a number of American famili¢és who ure not influence finance! considerations, BOTH SIDES VICTORS, SO THEY SAY, AT VERDUN Paris Says German Attacks Failed | and Berlin Reports Defeat | of French, PARIS, Jan, 30.—The Germans last night made another offensive move- ment in the region of Hill 304, north- west of Verdun, The attack, says to- day's War Office announcement, was stopped by «un fire with considerable Josses to the Germans, A German raid on French trenches north of Badonvillers was attempted, but fafled, The statement also re- ports an intermittent cannonade on the remainder of the front, Three German airplanes — we: brought down in aerial combats ye: terday, one by Sergt.
