NECEScARlrS OF LIFE.

Cleveland. O., Dec. 21.-More than
fifty wholesale and retail food and coal
dealers have been subpoenaed to ap-
pear before the federal grand jury
when that body investigates the food
and coal situation and soaring prices.
This method of determining who is
to blame for high prices was decided
upon by G.. w. Anderson of Boston,
special assistant to the United States
attorney general, who is conducting a
national investigation. 1t is the first
big gun to be fired and the first grand
jury to be called. outside Of New York,
in the governments food investigation.
"The probe principally will be to
determine whether or not the Sherman
anti trust law is being violated through
Illegal combinations" says United
States District Attorney Wertz, who Is
assisting Anderson. "As far as our in
vestigation has gone, there seems to
be little doubt but that such combina-
tions do exist in this city"
Anderson will not confine his efforts
to Cleveland alone. He will conduct
similar investigations in Detroit and

Notes to European Powers
the Result of Critical Sit

Says Secretary Lansing
in Explanatory Statement.

Washington. Dec. 21.-|
The danger Of the United
States itself being drawn
into the war by reason of it's
increasingly critical position

moving considerations in
President Wilson's dispatch
of notes to all belligerents
urging them to discuss peace
terms.
Secretary Lansing today
authorized the statement
that the material rights of
the United States had not
been a paramount consider
alton. Americas rights, he
said, were being more and
more involved by the bellig-
erents and as the United
States was drawing near
er and nearer the verge of
war" it was entitled to know
exactly what each belliger-
ent seeks Gin order that we
may regulate our conduct in
the future.
At the White House no ef-
fort was made to lessen the
Importance Of Secretary
Lansing's statement.
