AUSTRALIA SEIZES WHEAT
GERMANS GET CAREFUL
BERLIN, Dec. 25.—The people of Germany are now
beginning an agitation in favor of conserving some of
their food resources. The North German Gazette has is
sued a warning against using grain to feed animals. It
speaks especially of rye which is needed for bread stuffs.
It declares that the empire’s food supply must be care
fuilv husbanded. The professor of economy at Berlin
university has issued a similar warning. He draws at
tention to the nutritious qualities of potatoes and meal
and advised a greater consumption of milk products and
pork. He suggests also the limiting of the consumption of
beef and points out that foresight is necessary to frust
rate Great Britain’s plan of starving Germany into sub
mission.
The crown prince gave as a Christmas present to
e very man in his army a pipe with the crown prince s
picture.
SYDNEY, Dec. 25.—The Australian government has
seized the entire crop of wheat in New South Wales and
has left only enought to the farmers for seed. The specu
lators have been attempting to take advantage of the war
conditions to make a wheat corner and inflate prices and
the government deemed the most extreme measures nec
essary. It has now fixed the price of wheat at five shillings
a bushel.__ _

GEN. JOFFRE’S HEADQUATEDS,
Dec. 24.—Andre Tardieu, the foreign
editor of the Temps, is attached as
lieutenant to General JolTre’s stalf.
His duties require him to visit every
purt of the front, and he has therefore
extraordinary opportunities for seeing
the actual operations of the war. M.
Tardieu, it is understood, is assembl
