COUNT Won BERNSTORFF
TO CALL ON PRESIDENT
Expected to Present Personal Letter
From Kaiser Regarding Proposed
Relief for Poland.

LONG BRANCH, N. J., October A.
Count Won Bernstorff, German ambassa-
dor to the United States. will call on
President Wilson at Shadow Lawn next
Monday.
1t Is understood the ambassador will
present to Mr.. Wilson a personal letter
from the German emperor. replying to
autograph messages sent by the Presi-
dent 70 the rulers Of several European
nations. urging that method be agreed
upon for getting relief supplies to starv-
ing people in Poland. 1t has been re-
ported that the German reply does not
tend to bring about an agreement.
The entente allies have taken the posi-
ton that they will allow the shipment OF
supplies to Poland II food already there
is not shipped out nor utilized by Ger
man and Austrian troops. This position
has not met with favor from the Ger
man and Austro- Hungarian governments.
The contemplated vjSit of Count Won
Bernstorf revived reports Of possible
moves for peace in Europe, or of re-
sumption of Germany's submarine war
fare. Ambassador Gerard now is on his
way home from Berlin. So far as it has
been established. however. the call Of the
German ambassador at Shadow Lawn has
no connection with either Of those re-
ports.

RISING PRICE OF FOOD
IMPRESSED ON PEOPLE
Largest Dairy Restaurant in New
York Adds 5 Cents to Each
Staple Dish.

NEW YORK, October 4.-The rising
cost of food was impressed upon thou
sands of citizens today by the action
of the largest dairy restaurant here in
advancing prices. This corporation,
which owns a chain Of lunchrooms in
New York and other cities. added S
cents to the prices of all the staple
dishes.
Raccn and eggs and ham and eggs
now cost 30 cents instead Of 25 cents; q
s.aali steak is 80 cents instead Of %
cents: plain omelette had jumped from
10 cents to 20 cents. Even corned beef
hash has advanced from Is cents to
20. cents. Eggs are 5 cents an order
higher, no matter how prepared.
= All pies from now on are 10 cents a
cut, but instead of seven cuts to the
pie there will be six. In the past only
the fresh fruit pies, such as peach and
berry, were sold on the six-cut. ten
cent basis.
The wholesale price of sugar ad-
vanced from 6% cents to Z cents a
pound today. and the retail price from
7 to cents. The increased demand
resulting from the war was given as
the reason. although 1t was asserted
that 427,185,75S pounds Of unrefined
sugar are held in government ware
houses in this city and that the crops
Of sugar In this country and Porto
Rico are the largest ever known.
