Washington, Feb. 24.-Nearly every
government department was devoting
energies to-day to searching for the
cause of the sudden rise in food and
1uel prices or to seeking remedies.
Most cabinet members were inclin-
ed TO believe the general car shortage
and freight congestion were RESPONSE
bic, and that those conditions were
brought on largely by the suspension
of many transatlantic sailings on ac-
count of the German submarine cam
paign, or by withdrawal of vessels
from trade between the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts through the Panama ca
nal.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and the Car Service Commission
of the American Railway Association
held that no food shortage is appar-
ent, and that Investigators must look
elsewhere than toward the country's
distributing system for the cause of
high prices.
Whatever Attorney General Gregory
has discovered from the investigation
of Department of Justice agents IS
not disclosed, but he declared he
would announce soon certain proceed
ures which would have considerable
avail" Recent surveys of the depart
ment were said to have shown no
widespread conspiracies to boost

lnterned Greeks Dying
Off Fast; Many Mutinies
BY associated Press

London, Feb. 24.-According to ad-
vices received by the Greek authori-
ties here there has been serious trou-
bic among the 5000 Greek troops who
SURRENDERED to the Bulgar- German
forces at Kavala and who are now in
termed at GoeritZ.
Hunger and discomfort over the
failure of the authorities to keep re-
peated promises of repatriation are
said to have led to frequent mutinies
and large number of deaths from
disease, exposure and privation are
also reported. The attitude of the
troops has compelled a number of
their officers, including their COM
mander, General Hatzopulos to leave
Goeritz.
a mixed force of German and Bull
garian troops invaded Greek Mace
donia in August, 1916, and advanced to
the Greek port of Kavala which was
garrisoned by the Fourth Greek army
corps. portion of the garrison was
removed on allied warships and the
remained surrendered to the invaders
and were transported to Germany. The
Greek government protested to Ber-
lin and the return of the troops was
promised. Kavala was one of the
prizes of Greece in the Balkan wars
and its cession was bitterly disputed
by Bulgaria at that time.
