AR ARG KING CONSTANTINE. LORD CECIL BLAMES KING CONSTANTINE War _Trade Minister Says Greek Monarch ‘Responsi- ble for Athens Battle. ENTENTE TO TAKE ACTION London, Dec. 4—In the House of Commons today Lord Robert Cecil, war trade minister, said the British government considered King Con- stantine and his government to have been involved in the events at Athens and the Britis. government in co-operation with the allies would take steps to bring about a radical solution of the question which had arisen. The situation in Greece, said Lord Robert, was one of extreme gravity. Despite formal and repeated assur- ances of the Greek king and govern- ment ‘that no disturbance would be permitted, a most treacherous and un~ provoked attack was made on the entente allies’ forces landed by the French admiral on Friday. Many casualties had resulted but a full ac- count ha(l not yet been received, The British government, Lord Rob- ert said, considered the responsibility of the Greek king and government to be deeply involved in this matter and Great Britain was considering in con- junction with its allies immediate steps_to secure a radical solution of the situation which had arisen. Order Is Restored. Order has been restored in Athens and all civilians and soldiers off duty are Abemg disarmed, according to a semi-official statement issued at Ath- This state- ment as forwarded by Reuter’s cor- respondent is as follows: “Last night was perfectly quiet. No incident occurred. Today the city is | resuming its normal aspect. “By order of the commander of the garrison of Athens, all civilians and | soldiers. off duty are being_ disarmed. The departure of the French detach- ment from the capital is following the consent of the Hellenic govern- ment to hand over six batteries to | Vice Admiral Du Fournet. A com- mittee of Greck and French officers is investigating the reasons why Greek troops came to blows with the allies, dcspi'v direct \orders to the contrary. Reservist Starts Trouble. The first shot which started the fighting in Athens on Friday, are said in 4n Athens dispatch to the Star, to have been fired by a reservist who enrolled only on Thursday. The attack on the Zappeion, the = | dispatch says, was quite unexpected. Vice Admiral Du Fournet was stand- ing on the steps of the building, sur- rounded by officers of the French marines, when Greek machine guns suddenly opened fire. Six officers were wounded by the first volley. The French marmcs. together with 250 British marines, who had matched to the 7appcion without molestation organized a defense and held out all day against a superior force with ar- tillery. Cleveland Women Boycott Butter and Eggs for Six Weeks Cleveland, O., ‘Dec. 4.—Cleveland housewives today Began a six- weeks’ boycott of eggs and butter in an ef- fort to bring down the prices. The campaign was fostered by the Wo- man’s Civic association. Portland, Ore., Dec. 4—The first organized boycott of the Pacific coast went into effect today when Portland women barred eggs from the list of household necessaries. The boycott was the result of a mass meeting held late Sunday afternoon by the women’s clubs and other orgamiza- tions. It was determined to bnycot! eggs for a period of two weeks in an effort to force down prices. Best fresh eggs have retailed the last week at 60 to 65 cents a dozen and case eggs have hovered around 50 cents.

WILSON WILL TAKE IT UP Labor Delegation Asks Pre- / dent to Appoint Inquir Commission, : OTHER ISSUES IN A Washiggton, Dec. 4 ~The high cost of living and what steps the federal government can take to control it as- su?med proportions as a national ques- | tion with the convening of congress today, which overshadowed all other issues in the first day's proceedings. The possibility that President Wil- in af son will deal with the subject special address grew stronger, though it was thought probable that the president would set a separate | occasion for it, rather than to speak| of it in his general address tomorrow. Eleven bills and resolutions, seek ing to check the soaring prices of| food by stopping shipments to Eu- rope, rfllucmg parcel post rates on| food :tu”s, or controlling cold stor- age, were today introduced in the house. Will Take Some Steps. President Samuel Gompers aid a committee of the American *Federa- tion of Labor called on President W son and asked him to appoint a bp(‘-‘ cial commission to investigate the food question. The president assured them that the government would take some steps, as yet undecided, to meet the situation. Reports gathered by ment of Agriculture and Commerce were laid before the president as fast as they were compiled, and’ on them he is expected to decide on any action. One report submitted today by Sec- retary Redfield and held confidential as yet, is understood to show a wide margin between prices paid to pro- ducers and those paid by consumers. In a recent address the president vir- tually charged the middlemen with responsibility for the high cost of living. No Chance for Embargo.® The bills in congress are expected to produce general discussion of the subject, but"none of the adminibtras tion leaders think the embargo can pass. A series of four, introduced by Chairman Fitzgerald of the appropri- ation committee, propose embargo re- duction of parcel post rates and re- striction of cold storage. Representative McLemore of Texas, introduced a resolution top rohibit intrestate transportation of food prod- | ucts, except meats and fruits, that have been kept in cold storage over ninety days. One by Representative Sabath of Illinois would require cold storage warehouses to file annual re- ports showing food products stored for interstate commerce. Representative Sabath another which would direct the attor- ney general to investigate the causes of unreasonable advances in prices of foodstuffs and other products insofar as they are claimed to be affected by any combination or conspiracy, and to report to congress what remedies should be adopted. Inquiry Is Proposed. A joint congressional committee to investigate the whole food situation was proposed by Representative Lind- bergh of Minesot, and Representative Carter of Massachuetts ‘sought the | appointment of a house special com- mittee of nine members to investigate and report recommendations to con- gress within thirty days. Representative Steernerson of Min- nesota, and North Dakota farmers. Representaitve McKellar of Tennes- see reported his bill to regulte cold storage of food, and Representative Farr of Pennsylvania, reintroduced his measure for ap rovisional embargo on wheat and wheat flour. Representative Adamson of Geor- gia, chairman of the house interstate and foreign commerce committee to which the embargo bills were referred, announced during the day that he would oppose any sort of embargo. “The only embargo law we ever | passed,” said Mr. Adamson, “was the | most unpopular law ever enacted save | only the alien and sedition laws.

This sum is exclusive of $325,355,~ 820 to.be appropriated for the postal service, which is expected to be re- turned to the treasury by postal rev- enue, and a sinking fund appropria- | tion of $60,748,000 toward the public debt. The total appropriattions for the fiscal year 1917 ending next June, ex- clusive of these two items, were $1,- 184,157,517. The increase of some $84,000,000 represents the general trend of the constantly increased cost of govern- ment as well as the increased cost of living. Increases in compensation and in numbers of employes are to be found in the estimates of all branches of the government and to meet that tendency administration officials have attempted a policy of paring down all proposals for new projects with the exceptions of national defense, expen- ditures to meet the growth of llxr‘ country and the many burdens thrust | upon the United States by the war. | Deferise Budget Biggest. | The greatest increases are, of course, in the estimates for cagrying out the national policy of dcfcnsc| Where the War department’s appro-| priations for the current year were $381,482,802 it estimates this year for $421,352,447.
