DR.. r. H. Mackenzie. president of the
Chicago Poultry Breeders Club, speak
ing at the meeting Of poultry dealers
from all over the country. predicted
that within two weeks the price of eggs
in the Chicago market would reach rs
cents, while before the winter is over
eggs will bring 80 cents, he predicted.
The meeting at which he spoke was
held at the Stock Yards Inn. Present
were members Of poultry associations
from all parts of the country who ara
attending the poultry show at the in
|ternational amphitheater in the stock
yards.
DR.. Mackenzie and other speakers
asserted that the egg shortage has
been created thru cold storage spec
ulators who placed high prices on
dressed chickens months ago, thus in
ducing the poultry breeders to slaugh- :,
ter their birds. In consequences there
are fewer hens than there were year
ago, while the demand for eggs has
been on the upturu steadily.
There are in Chicago now not more
than 15,O00.000 eggs. in storage" the
doctor said. "A year ago there were
$4,000, 900. Chicago uses 100000 eggs
a day. Whenever the receipts from the
country tdo not reach that number, the
cold storage supply must be drawn on.
The cold storage supply has not been
materially increased since September.
and the demands on it have been
steady. The Chicago egg market is in
the situation Of merchant who has
less cash In the bank than he had q
year ago. no more accounts payable
than he had then and enormous bills
coming IN. It looks Ike bankruptcy"

Fixing ResponsibiIity For War.

London. Jan. 13.---An authoritive
statement issued here today gives the
British view Of the German and AUS
trian notes to neutrals. 1t repeats the
assertion that Germany was re-
sponsfble for starting the war in
asmuch as the proposal for confer
ence was rejected.
This refusal, it is pointed out was
given on July 90; 1914, while it was not
until July 81 that orders were given
for a general mobilization by the Rus
sian government.
The statement deals at length with
the German charge that the proposals
of the allies regarding the rights ,of
small nationalities lacked sincerity.

u
considers slurs on the central powers
IN the reply of the entente to president
Wilson, finds consolation in the belief
that the note will serve to weld together
all classes in Germany into an uncon-
auerable whole.
Papers like the Tageblatt and tho
Lokal Anzeiger emphasize this expected
effect and almost ignore the second
German note, which was published al
most simultaneously.
The Pan-American press, however,
gives the German communication first
attention and declares the leaders. Of
the central powers finally are coming
around to their view Of most ques-
tions.
The entente;s specific delineation Of
its aims Is accepted in general with re-
lief as finally eliminating all guess
work and allowing every one to see just
what is at stake. The extravaganza Of
their claims, according to the Lokal
Anzeiger, binds central Europe thou
sand times closer together.
"Unitsd At Ono Stroke"
The Tageblatt believes that the reply
'at one stroke unite.such opposition as
the socialists, who are desirous Of
avoiding any rejection Of overtures.
with the moderates who favor q busi-
ness peace, and the annexationists. who
insist upon the total defeat Of the
enemy'
1.-THE enemys demands" continues
the Tageblatt, 'are foolish and sense,
less ana such that no German could
conaAder them for a second. The note
is an affront to President Wilson. sas it
presents impossible conditions In the
face OF the belief that the aims Of the
sfwo oppouents are not irrecone4l
and absolutely barricades every way to
peace" sSss; E
The Tageblatt sarcastfcally touches
on the allies declaration that they
have no intention Of destroying the
German people and says that In fact
the entente does not demand that every
German be drowned or otherwise oblit-
Grated. ! In conclusion the Tageblatt
says:
"The entente's note has put an end to
this elucidation game and has driven
away the tiny rosy cloud. Every one
must know what attitude to take to-
ward such undisguised desires for the
Of the German people. For
Germans there Is no doubt, and 1t does
not need to be>reiterated that 1t IL not
a. easy to destroy Germany on the
battlefield as on paper.
