He quotes The Hagelische Rundschau, of Ber lin, as saying: “The food scarcity has reached a crisis, as for weeks past, in one part of the city or another, the supply of bread has been failing™ constantly. Fish now becomes one of the most important foods, but no fresh fish is available, and the price of smoked fish is now six times the normal. Only apples areé obtainable in reasonable quantities.” The paper urges the Government to seize all food stocks and distribute them direct. The Tagesblatt, of Berlin, estl mates the potato crop at 21,000,000 tons, against 51,000,000 tons last year.

PARIS, Dec. 12.-The reorganisa tion of the French Government has been effected, FPremier Hriand -u-l nounced (pday. The bersonnel will be published In the official journal to morrow. The Premier added that the organized Cabinet might make lits first appearance in the Chamber of Deputies tomorrow, “Deputy Bonne fous introduced a bill for the creation | of a parliamentary commission or‘ ngtional defense The shake-up in the French army is expected to xw widespread re sults In two thehters of war—the western and Balkan. One of the big problems that the reconstructed Cabinet will tackle first is Greece. It is planned to adopt a policy toward Greece that will make King Constantine reveal his hand and take a definite stand on the side of either the German allies or the Entente. As the situation ex ists In Greece, the allled armies are menaced by the Greek forces and thelr Actions are hampered. The indications are that General Joseph Joffre, long the idol of France, must give way to fresh blood. Joffre's “nibbling policy” has aroused much :rpoomon. both in and out of official reles, snd the declaration is now Peard that the time has come to strike strong and numerous blows. Joffre may become head of the War Council, while his place as the leader of the French armlu\prob&bly will go to General Petain or General Castelnau. That the French and British War Councils are going to prepare for a gigantic offensive in the spring is ac cepted as a foregone conclusion. It may be a double offensive, conducted against the German allies In the Bal kans and upon the western front at the same time. Or the chief pres sure may be launched in the Balkans while a less violent offensive Is car ried out In France. That Is under stood here to be Lioyd-George's idea. New British Cabinet To Wield Iron Hand (By International News Service.) LONDON, Dec. 12.-—~Members of the new War Government of England make their first appearance in Parlia ment today. It was expected, however, that to day's discussion of both houses would be brief and formal, and that the declarations of policy to he delivered in commons hy Premier Lloyd-George or Chancellor A. Bonar Law and In the upper house by Lord Curzon would be postponed until Thursday. Anbther vote of credit is to be moved in Commons Thursday and under a recent ruling such a motion opens all the doors of debate under any topie. Anxiety that was felt when it be came known that Lloyd-George was ill was allayed today by a statement that he is better, It is beginning to be plain that, as strong as the new government is, it is not to recelve the unanimous support of the publie. The powerful Northeliffe papers that were chiefly responsible for the collapse of the Asquith ministry have begun to deliver vicious attacks upon Foreign Secretary A. J. Balfour and Minister of Blockade Lord Robert Ce cil. Both are charged with being too tender-hearted to deal with the stern pruole@- of war, especially the block ade, : Intense and nation-wide interest awaits the declarations of policy. Enough has been said to show that the Government is going to deal with affairs with an iron hand. Aside from the military and diplomatic situation, the question of shipping, mines, food, man power, home rule for Ireland, control of rallways and the subma rine menace are to receive quick ac tion. A meeting of\the Irish Nationalists was called for today to adopt a defi nite attitude toward the Lloyd-George Cabinet. Irish Nationalist leaders predicted that the party would take steps to push home rule claims and secure the release of Sinn Fein pris oners, The appointment of Sir Ed ward Carson to the post of First Lord of tho Admiralty has aroused some‘ anxiety among members of the Irish Nationalists. It was Sir Edward Car son who threatened to plunge Ireland into civil war in his opposition to home rule Business men in the Cabinet - will follow the usual custom of giving up their positions, says The Chronicle. Lord Rhondda, president of the local government board, is director in 32 corporations. Lloyd-George must remain indoors for at least another day or two, his physicians ordered today. The new Premier is better today, but it was de cided that he must take no chances. o . New British Cabinet . Reunite nemies sOldE (By International News Service.) LONDON, Dec. 12.—Politics makes strange bedfellows. The appointment of Lord Milner and Barl Curzon to the Lloyd-George Cabinet lecalls the bitter campaign in England in 1910. Lords Milner and Middleton, to gether with Earl Curzon, were tour ing England in opposition to the Lloyd-George budget. Milner called the Chancellor of the Exchequer a “guttersnipe.” Lord Middleton said he was a “dirty little rag,” and Earl Curzon conclided the tirade by call ing him a “traitor.” Lloyd-George's retort was as fol lows: “Phere is a triumvirate of noble featherheads who are going up and down the country making a laughing stock of themselves. They want to advise you how to conduct the Gov ernment. They seem to forget their own lack of success. “The spectacle of Lord Curzon in India is still fresh in your minds. The record of Lord Milner in South Afri ca wi)\not bring him any pedestal in the hall of fame.” . Dalton Man Seeking Army Surgeon Post WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—Dr. Jesse B.

If its de-, mands are met it will remove the menace which the newly mobilized Greek army holds for the flank of General Sarrail's allied force in Mace donia, because one of the clavses, it {s understood, calls for the complete disarmament of the Greek forces. The peril in Greece stands out today blacker than at any previous time. 16 Killed in French Deportation Riot AMSTERDAM, Dec. 12.—Sixteen persons were killed and several wounded 'in a riot at Turcoing when the Germans began deporting a batch of 300 French civilians, according to the newspaper Echo_de Belget today.
