The meeting OF the allies supreme

OF this month viii BE- the most i'm :
portant that body has yet held it was
learned today. There will be two mat
ters of first importance before it. ana
the council will decide the attitude OF
the alliance toward the Mediterranean
and Adr!atic questions.
These problems include the Creek
Albanian. Serbian. Montenegrin.' JuSo-
slay and Italian national interests anu
their decision will affect the future
conduct of the war IN the Balkans ana
Northern Italy, Inasmuch as PRESIDENT
Wilson has held that diplomacy ought
TO work in the open. there Is teeilns
in Diplomatic circues here that the
poIit;cal phases Of the discussions ar
rived at in Paris Will be made known
a, the conclusion Of the conference.
The main Issues are understood to be
between Greece and Serbia, Greece ana
italy. and Serbia and Italy. Il has be-
come known here that one or the prime
reasons for the creation OF the supreme
war council was the failure OF England
to furnish supplies "a Italy during the
great Italian offensive. and mat the
reason was because the British stan
did not approve of the italian campaign
Greece Is understood to be demand
ing ports on the Adriatic, when bolh
Serbia and Italy oppose. In creek
circles today Il was asserted that
Greece's demands have no bearing
whatever upon the delay Of Greeca IN
mobilizing her army, the reason cited
being the inadequacy OF tonnage Tor
conveying necessary military supplies
to Greece.
The differences between Italy ana
Serbia relates TO the Adriatic coast,
Italy favoring the uniticat!on or the
JugosIavs with Serbia and Montene-
gro and agreeing to outlets 10 the
Adriatic sea for the enlarged Serbian
kingdom.
The decisions arrived at by the su-
preme war council, It was stated today
will essarily be based upon the ma
tional and racial rights and defense or
the countries concerned, with view OF
putting into effect measures designed
to prevent a new war in the BALKANS
after the close Of the present struggle.

LABOR PEACE CONFERENCE.
Demands Made for immediate Inter.
national Meeting.

Correspondence Of Associated Press.l
London Jan. 22.-Demands for the
calling Of an immediate or early con-
ference Of representatives OF labor
from all countries to discuss peace
will be among the most important OF
resolut lions to be submitted TO the con-
ference Of the British labor party TO
be held at Nottingham tomorrow and
on the two days following. Three res
olutions requesting such action have
been prepared for submission to the
conference by the independent labor
party. socialist party and the Glas-
gov trades council.
Various phases Of the peace question
apparently will be dominant in the
discussions. Declaration that the time
has arrived for peace negotiations Is
made in four resolutions to be sub
mitted by the labor organizations OF
Bristol Norwich, Leicester and York
A demand that labor be permitted
representation in the eventual peace
congress OF the belligcrent powers, or
that an International labor conference
be held simultaneously with the peace
congress- is set forth by labor bodies
Of Great Yarmouth and Bristol.
Withdrawal Of all labor members
from ministerial offices under the pres
resolutions prepared by the British So
cialst party or by labor bodies, on the
ground that continuance Of labor mem
bers IN the service OF a government
which permits exploitation Of the peo-
pie by the cap!talists' is contrary tc
labor interests and violation Of the
party constitution.
One such resolution from East Ham
bases its demands on "the continual
bare faced robbery OF the people by
the food pirates" and suggests that
any laborer who refuses to resign
should be expelled from the party
capitalist food thieves" are strongly
denounced. and the government is
urged TO handle the food problem so as
TO eliminate profiteering and secure
"equality of sacrifice There is likely
to be a long and bitter discussion or
this issue. A year ago the conference
reaffirmed by an overwhelming ma
joority, approval Of the retention o.
office by labor ministers.
Financial proposals have been sub
m!tted by more than dozen societies
They include plans for substantial
levy on capital. drastic increase o1
the income tax, raising Of the exemp
ton limit to ESQ or G200. and the
compulsory application Of the sink.
ing fund" principle to land and capital
making It the property OF the nation.
A scheme for the renrganiZati"n -
! the labor party. is to be submitted t.
the conference by the executive com.
mittee. It is said to represent an ad
vance in the political mobilization o.
! the labor forces.
Three important newcomers amons
| the resolutions are: an amendment o.
the law of libel for the protection o
| labor bodies against slanderous Iitera
tUre and speakers; a declaration i!
! favor of home rule in India. and q
statement that the time has come TO
the teaching Of an international Ian
guage to enable workers OF the work.

Berlin, Jan. IL Germany is more
sorely pressed for food today than at
any time since the start of the war
Even German newspapers reaching
Switzerland make serious admission as

crease in the ration are now definitely
abandoned
The Berliner Tagcblatt in recent

situation:

Peace Party Growing in Germany.

According to a telegram received in
London. the German chancellor Count
Won Hertling, has again postponed the
speech which he was to have made
today In reply to. the definition Of war
aims by President Wilson and Premier
Lloyd George.
The report that the imperial chan
cellor for q third time had postponed
his reply caused no great surprise here.
While it was fairly certain that the
German militarists had won over En-
perOr william to their side, and that
annexation Of occupied territories was
the policy to be pursued. the advocates
OF a peace by negotiation which in
clude most Of the Austro Hungarian
leaders, must be conciliated.
The militarists have the support Of
the Juukcrs and the war prctiteers. On
the other side are the socialists, large
proportion of the working classes and
OF the moderate middle class, Of which
the Berliner Tagebiatt is the spokes-
man. and the financial interests rep
resented by DR.. Bernhard Dernburg
and the Frankfurter Zeitung, which
have been emphatic IN their denuncia-
ton of the annexationlsts.
The attitude OF the Australians may
be gathered from an article published
in the Frendenhlatt OF Vienna, organ
Of Count Czernin, the Austro- Hungar-
ian foreign minister, which sharply
deals with rumors that Prince Won Bue
low is now engaged in intrigues against
Count Won He-t,ng in order That he
may become German chancellor. The
article denounces Won Buelow as i" traI-
tor against Austro- Hungary, saying
that he offered Italy Austro- Hungarian
territory. and also gives expression to
the dissatisfaction of the Austrian
government with the agitation Of the
German annexationists for the incor-
poratlon OF the great Polish districts
