Germany faces food hoarding and profiteering clashes as dispatches from Cologne and Strasbourg appear in The Times and The Public Ledger. Debate over wartime shortages and rationing grows, with divergent signals on when controls may tighten.
Dispatch recounts acute food shortage across Germany with low rations about 1109 calories daily. Hoarding and secret trading plentiful, affecting the poor most, while rich households and cities show greater resilience. Reports from Strasbourg and The Hague note civil unrest fears and calls for coordinated relief through Allied control.
Unclear readable text notes a birth related item with names and a date fragment. Limited legible details mention individuals and a possible event around a weekend day. The fragmentary OCR lacks verifiable context or location to confirm a clear public notice or obituary.
A fragmented account notes cattle care concerns and frequent clandestine slaughter claims. Growers report potatoes and other produce delivered by the dozen weights to markets, with hundreds of double hundred weights of fruit and butter transported outward from rural centers into towns.

Secretary Glass issued an order re opening to holders of converted bonds of the first liberty loan and of bonds of the second liberty loan under authority conferred by the victory loan act. The directive specifies permission for conversion actions tied to the Liberty Bond program.
The order extends the conversion privilege for two classes of bonds to four percent, replacing seven percent. The conversion privileges, which expired last November under the tax act, are revived as of March 7 with indefinite extension. Bondholders may present their securities at any bank for conversion. It notes a political metaphor about paying income tax making more noise than tooting a horn.
