Siege of grain under German expropriation cuts bread supply

Berlin reports an unexpected government order expropriates all stocks of grain flour and wheat to curb consumption and ensure fair distribution. Exemption exists for items under 220 pounds. Berlin notes wheat sells at 1.70 dollars a bushel while imports remain untaxed by this measure. Germany declares the move is a war measure with socialist overtones. Germany also says it will seize no American foodstuffs shipped to the United States, while Allied reports say German attacks near Ypres and La Bassee face heavy losses.
