HOSTILE ATTITUDE
SHOWN BY THE KING
Believed Sections of Field
M Mars h al Mackenzen's S
Army Will Be Swung Into
Macedonia on Completion
of Conquest Of Rumania.

ASSOCIATED P~ess War Summary
The situation in Greece is not only
again of decided political interest, but
potentially of marked military i'm
port, in connection with the supposed
purpose of the central powers to turn
important sections of Field Marshal
Won Mackenzens huge army in Ru-
mania upon the entente's SalonilSi
army.
Correspondents in Greece report
persistently a hostile attitude by King
Constar- inc and the Greek royalists
toward the entente and declare efforts
are being made to gather a strong
army in the Larissa region for an at
tack upon the entente forces from the
rear simultaneously with attacks by
the Teutonic allies from the north.
RUMANIANc STILL RETREAT.
Latest reports of the Rumanian
campaign reflect continued retirement
of the Russo -Rumanian forces in
eastern Wallachia, with figures of the
captures of men and materials by the
invaders constantly growing.
Little of interest is occurring on the
Franco Belgian front. The only hap
pening mentioned by either London
or Paris is artillery action in the re-
gion Of hill No. 304 on the Verdun
front, where the French and Germans
again have been disputing for possess
sion of the heights.

SHOES $40 A PAIR
PRESENT OUTLOOK
SAY THE MAKERS
Manufacturers in Massachu-
setts Declare an Embargo
on Leather or End of War
the Only Relief Possible.

New York, Dec. 9.-A special to the
World from Lynn, Mass, says: At a
conference of shoe manufacturers and
retailers, called to demand a congress
sional inquiry of the shortage and high
cost of leather. 1t was announced that
leather had advanced 15 cents a foot
In a week.
Similar advances within the next few
weeks would compel retailers to charge
$40 pair for shoes now selling at half
that price. 1t was stated.
DOUBLED IN FIVE YEARS.
In resolutions to be sent to Wash
ington 1t will be stated that five years
ago most of the shoes made in New
England were retailed at SO to IS a pair
for medium grades for men and from
Sc to $40 a pair for women. Roughly
speaking. prices of shoes have doubled
during the last five years. the sharpest
advances being since the war.
With an embargo placed on leather
exports, those at the conference de-
clared prices would return to normal.
RUN ON HALF TIME.
Manufacturers must soon run on
half time. says a statement by Albert
NJ. Creighton. president of the Lynn
Shoe Manufacturers association. End
of the war or an embargo can alone
relieve the situation, he declares.

Activities of Alleged Food
and Coal Spectators Said
to Extend to the Pacific
Coast and as Far South as
Mexican Border.

Washington, Dec. "a
federal grand jury investi-
cation into the high cost of
living was ordered today by
Attorney General Gregory,
to begin at once in New
York and Detroit next week.
Similar investigations in
Cleveland, Kansas City, st.
Louis, Minneapolis and
other points are under con-
sideration.
Frank M. Swacker, assist
ant attorney general for the
government in the New
Haven case, will be asked to
take charge Of the New York
investigation.
WIDESPREAD COMBINATIONS.
Reports to the department of JUS
tice from field Investigators INDICATE,
officials said. the widespread existence
of combinations of brokers and deal
ers in foodstuffs and coal to force
prices upward. Most of these alleged
combinations were said to be local in
character.
All data concerning them probably
will be submitted to the grand juries.
IN WESTERN STATES.
In addition to the grand jury inves-
tigation in the east, and middlewest,
officials are considering the advisable
ity of starting similar proceedings In
the northwest and far western states.
1t is liAely this latter proposal will be
held in allegiance until the investiga-
tions more definitely contemplated are
in full swing.
The activities of alleged food and
coal spectators are said to have ex-
tended as far south as the Mexican
border, and to have included virtually
every section of the country.
SHORTAGE OF CARS.
Closely related to their alleged acti-
vities is the shortage of freight cars,
information bearing on which is being
compiled by the interstate commerce
commission for use in the investigation.

CARNEGIE MANSION
TO BECOME SOCIAL
CENTER IN GOTHAM

New York, Dec. 9.-Miss Margaret
Carnegie, only child of Mr.. and Mrs
Andrew Carnegie, and heiress to the
many millions of the great ironmaster,
was introduced to society at dance
given last night at the home of her
parents. That New York society took
more than ordinary amount of in
terest in the event goes without say
ing.
Neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Carnegie has
ever shown any inclination for a 80
cial" life, as that term is ger rally un-
derstooc. During the many years of
their residence in New York they have
been content with a small circle of
friends. In striking contrast to other
of the so-called "Plttsburg million
aires" they have made no attempt to
break into high society, although they
would have found the doors OF the most
exclusive set always open to them.
TO ENTER SOCIAL LIFE.
Miss Carnegie's debut afforded
many oe the social elect their first op-
poftunity to see the splendor of the
inside of the great Carnegie mansion
at the corner os Fifth avenue and
Ninety second sire In future the
big louse is expected to be the scene
of many brilliant social functions, for
rumor has it that Mi IS Carnegie in
tends to lay full claim to the social
position to which she is entitled by
reason of her own personal attractions
IS wei. as her position as heiress to
one of Ar erica's great fortunes.
Up to the present time Miss Car
negie has remained practically un-
known outsi,e the small circle of
friends whose acquaintance she made
while attending the exclusive private
school from which she was graduated
last spring. These friends declare that
while she is full of life and fond of
gayety. she is not at all inclined to
frivolity. Although only IS years old.
she has already taken an active inter-
est in civic and philanthropic move
ments and has for two years held the
position of vice president of the Arm
strong league, which organization con-
Germs itself with be.tering he condi-
tion of dependent races. particularly

APPEAL FOR PEACE
IN PRUSSIAN DIET

Amsterdam, Dec. 9.-In discussing

Gals. Socialist Deputy Stroebel. ac-
cording to the Vorwaerts, attacked
those who were receiving great war
profits while the mass of the people

The deputy quoted cases of minor
railway officials, who were not only on
short rations, but suffering from
hunger, their income not being suffi-
cient to buy their allotted amount OF
food. The speaker concluded:
we long for and hope for any peace
or mediation in the interest of the Of

rlage.
When we are seeking therefore
remedies for the evils of our lax mar
iage and divorce practices our ultimate
and most effective method will be
found in such instruction as the
churches may give to their adherents
supplemented by such work as the
educational institutions of the country
may be induced to undertake. This
instruction will bear upon the ideals
of marriage.
1T will teach that marriage is not
contracted as a mere convenience and
for prudential reasons, that 1t is not
even primarily intended solely for the
personal happiness of those who con-
tract it; but that 1t Is indispensable to
the proper filling out of the life of
human beings, that it Is one of the
most effective methods of developing
character, and that the preservation
of the int gritty of marriage and of the
family institution as a whole is the
only process by which a truly divine
order for society can be maintained
COMMON LAW MARRIAGE.
mo legislation, however judicieusly
framed, can eve. effect complete
cure of marr.af Embellishments, but
such preventive measures as give pro-
mise of diminishing the evils which
are now so abund1n will commend
themselves to thoughtful persons.
The fact that in 23 states what are
known as common law marriages"
in which man and a woman take
each other for husband an wife with
out the services of a civil officer or a
clergyman and frequently without any
witnesses are recognized as valid.
calls for serious condemnation, and no
reform is more neeGed than legislation
declaring such unions to be null and
void everywhere in the United States"

American public opinion, from
which 1t will expect to draw guild
ance for the next steps, If any are
taken.
The German reply, conveyed In
conversations with Charge Grew,
at Berlin, by Chancellor Won
Bethmann- Hollweg, is that the
deportations are regarded as JUS
titled on the grounds of social
necessity. No actual reply in the
form of a note has been received
from Germany, but no doubt has
been left by the chancellor that
the protest of the United States
will not be needed.
