Bavaria than elsewhere in Ger many. Butter has been selling there at five marks a pound, com pared with 30 marks in Berlin. Eggs are quoted at 25 prennigs each while in Berlin they cost 1.75 marks piece. Eggs in the occupied area have been bringing from 2 to 2.50 marks each this winter but they are very scarcs at any price.
 Meat is also reported as fairly plentiful in Bavaria, although in all other states this form of food is virtually unpurchasable by householders through the regular channels excepting once or twice each month when the authorities permit a few ounces to be distrib- uted by the card system to the in- dividuals. Most of the hotels throughout Germany continue to serve meat three or four days each week, however. The propric- tors say they obtain this from Hol- land and that this does not violate the food regulations.

 Food on Increase
 in German Cities

Coblenz, Jan. 3.-Illicit trade in food, with it's attendant evils of smuggling and usury, is on the increase throughout Germany, ac- cording to newspaper accounts.
 The rationing system has neV- CT been abandoned even in the oc- cupied areas of the Rhineland and some of the newspapers contend that the average individual can. not subsist on the amount of food issued. The authorities are mak- ing every effort to check the ills- gal traffic in foods of all kinds and the courts are crowded day af- ter day.
 Smuggling of potatoes is being carried on this winter in all parts of Germany on scale greater than in wartime. Germany pro duced an excellent potato crop this year and the authorities are try ing to save it from falling into the hands of the specualtors.
 Well-to-do people have been go ing to Bavaria from Prussia Wuerttemberg and Thuringia to buy potatoes, eggs and fats fol which the farmers have charged exorbitant prices. This worked a hardship on the poorer people who could not compete with then, ! Living appears to be cheaper in

Women Labor is Big Problem to
 Great Britain

London, Jan. 3.-The great ln- crease in the number of women employed in British industries has become an important factor, ana only an expansion in industry can take care of all the labor--both male and female--now available according to a statement by the American Chamber of Commerce in London.
 Sir Auckland Geddes, preslden. of the Board of Trade, recently de clared that the country's produc. tion would have to be increase l, not only for the sake of export markets, but to absorb surplus la- bor. According to his figures, said the American Chamber, there are already over 100000 more men and women employed, or looking for employment, in the in- dustrial world than before the war. The demobilization of troops would necessitate the ab- sorption of almost another 1,000,- 900.

VI to Issue Sum.
 ' mons for the First zf Meeting

G Paris, Jan. 3.-The informal cal for the first meeting of the league of nations council will be issued by Premier Clemenceau, the su, pfeme council decided today.
 Es This call is regarded as sim. pie notification to enable the dele. &ates to reach the appointed place in Paris in time for the meeting Surmal notice of which it is stil Extended to have President Wilson
 Issue, according to the present pro- gram.
 s5It is pointed out in conference Circles that it is immaterial who issues the informal notice ano that even the formal notice is a Simple detail. The issuance of the formal notice devolves upon Presi- dent Wilson by the provisions o1 the treaty of Versailles, but it is held that in case of his inability to act in the matter any other repre-. sentative of one of the five prin- cipal powers forming the executive council of the league could issue the notice.
 Baron Kurt von Lersner, head of the German mission here, has been ill in bed for three days ano the progress of the negotiations for settling the question of what dock and harbor tonnage is to be turned over by Germany as com pensation for the Scapa Flow sink ings, has suffered in consequence The allies experts are continuing their comparisons of the German figures and the allied estimates but solution of the question in. ual4.ed in the differences between the two sets of figures is not clear. lys enough in sight, it would ap. pear, to confirm the feeling in the more optimistic council circles that the peace protocol will be signed January 6. That date, how. ever, still remains as the one fix. edT for the ceremony of the ex change of notifications which would put the treaty into effect.
 The question of organizing the plebiscites to be held in the areas provided for in the treaty also has been delayed in settlement pending a reply from Berlin as to whether the experts sent here have full au thority to act for the German gov ernment. The supreme counci has received a request from the commission on prisoners of wal for authority to proceed to ar range with the German govern ment for the transportation of the prisoners homeward as soon as the peace treaty becomes effect i've.
