The authorities say reassuringly that the British blockade will never work as it did in 1917, that there are ample reserves, and that Russia will supply any deficiency..
IN LONDON: There is no scarcity of food except bacon, here and there, One per cent. of German ships have to home since the war; Russia's ald to Germany is doubtful.
