 law of 1894 provided, inter alia : — 



" 1. In time of war, or when a general 

 or partial mobilization is ordered, the 

 Government has the right to supply the 

 necessary things for the Army by requi- 

 sition. 



' 2. The articles which the Government 

 has the right to requisition are divided as 

 follows : — 



' (a) Food supplies : wheat, flour, 

 bread, biscuits, vegetables, butter, salt, 

 rice, meat or cattle, wine, rakia (a kind 

 of whisky), etc. 



' (b) Food supplies for the cattle : hay, 

 straw, barley, oats, bran, etc. 



' (c) Lighting and warming supplies : 

 wood, coal, candles, petroleum, etc. 



' (d) Clothing : woollen and linen cloth, 

 furs, boots, etc.
