1t is believed, however, that much
the activity is due to the attitude of
he Public Service Commission in re-
trtcung ruinous competition and that
his has spurred people to getting
Franchises for as much territory as

POLAND MAY GET FOOD.
Allies to Confer on Permitting Ship

The State Department has been in
formed that the entente allies soon will
confer on the question of permitting
food supplies to enter Poland for the
relief of destitute civilians. The allied
governments now have before them in
formation obtained by Ambassador
Gerard in Berlin as to the conditions
for Polish relief which he believes will
be acceptable to the German govern
ment Germany insists, ii is stated
that the German army in Poland must
obtain it's food from the occupied terri
tory.
Great Britain some time ago agreed to
allow food to go into Poland under re-
strictions which would prevent it from
falling into the possession of the Ger
man forces. 1t was made plain, how
ever, that food could not be shipped
into the occupied portions of Poland if
the German forces took possession OF
all the food produced there.
