In the House of Commons today Lord Robert Cecil, war trade minister,' said the British government considered King Con stantine and his government to have' been involved in the events at Athens and the British government in co-operation with the allies would take steps to bring about a radical solution of the question which had arisen. The situation in Greece, said Lord Robert, was one of extreme gravity. Despite formal and repealed assur ances of the Greek king and govern-' ment that no disturbance would be permitled," most treacherous anc? un provoked attack was made on the entente allies' forces landed by the French admiral on Friday. Many casualties had resulted but a full ac count had not yet been received. The British government, Lord Rob ert said, considered the responsibility of the Greek king and government to be deeply involved in this matter and Great Britain was considering in con junction with its allies immediate steps to secure a radical solution ot the situation which had arisen. -Order Is Restored. Order has been restored in Athens and all civilians' and soldiers off duty are being disarmed, according to1 a semi-official statement issued at Ath ens yesterday afternoon. This state ment as forwarded by Reuter's cor respodent is as follows: "Last night was perfectly quiet. No incident occurred. Today the city is resuming its normal aspect. "By order of the commander of the garrison of Athens, all civilians and soldiers, off duty are being, disarmed. The departure of the French detach ment from the capital is following the consent of the Hellenic govern ment to hand over six batteries to Vice Admiral Du Fournet. A com mittee of Greek and French officers is investigating the reasons why Greek troops came to blows with the allies, despite direct orders to the contrary." Reservist Starts Trouble. The first shot which started the fighting in Athens on Friday, are said in an Athens dispatch to the Star, to have been fired by a reservist who enrolled only on Thursday. The attack on the Zappeion, the dispatch says, was quite unexpected. Vice Admiral Du Fournet was stand ing on the steps of the building, sur rounded by officers of the French marines, when Greek machine guns suddenly opened fire. Six officers were wounded by the first volley. The French marines, together with 250 British marines, who had matched to the Zappeion without molestation organized a defense and held out all day against a superior force with ar tillery. Cleveland Women Boycott Butter and Eggs for Six Weeks "Cleveland. 0., Dec. 4. Cleveland housewives today began a six-weeks' boycott of eggs and butter ill an ef fort to bring down the prices. The campaign was fostered by the Wo man's Civic association. Portland, Ore., Dec. 4. The first organized boycott of the Pacific coast went into effect today when Portland women barbed eggs from the list of household necessaries. The boycott was the result of a mass meeting held late Sunday afternoon by the women's clubj and other organiza tions. It was determined to boycott eggs for a period of two weeks in an effort to force down prices. Best fresh eggs have retailed the last week at 60 to 65 cents a dozen and case eggs have hovered around 50 cents. A committee appointed r.t the meet ing prepared telegrams .0 President Wilson and the Oregon delegation in congress urging enactment of legis lation to tniorce an emDargo on ex portation of foodstuffs. fM 41 IS WILSON WlLL TAKE IT UP Labor Delegation Asks Pre' dent to Appoint Inqnir Commission. ,y OTHER ISSUES IN SjJ0W Washington, Dec. 4, The high cost of living and what steps the federal government can take to control it as surmed proportions as a national ques tion with the convening of congress today, whicli overshadowed all othar issues in the first day's proceedings. The possibility that President Wil son will deal with the subject in a special address grew stronger, al though it was thought probable that the president would set a separate occasion for it, rather than to speak of it in his general address tomorrow. Eleven bills and resolutions, seek ing to check the soaring prices of food by stopping shipments to Eu rope, reducing parcel post ials on food Ltus, or controlling cold stor age, were today introduced in the house. ' Will Take Some Steps. President Samuel Gompers and s committee of the American 'Federa tion of Labor called on President Wil son and asked him to appoint a spe cial commission to investigate the food question. The president assured them that the government would take some steps, as yet undecided, to meet the situation. Reports gathered by the Depart ment of Agriculture and Commerce were bid before the president as fast as they were compiled, and' on them he is expected to decide on any action. One report submitted today by Sec retary Redfield and held confidential as yet, is understood to show a wide margin between prices paid to pro ducers and those paid by consumers. In a recent address the president vir tually charged the middlemen with responsibility for the high cost of living. No Chance for Embargo.' , The bills in congress are expected to produce general discussion of the subject; bofnoiur Bf the adniinistra tion leaders think the embargo can pass. A series of four, introduced by Chairman Fitzgerald of the appropri ation committee, propose embargo re duction of parcel post rates and re striction of cold storage. Representative McLemore of Texas, introduced a resolution top rohibit iutrestate transportation of food prod ucts, except meats and fruits, that have been kept in cold storage over ninety days. One by Representative Sabath of Illinois would require cold storage warehouses to file annual re ports showing food products stored for interstate commerce. Representative Sabath introduced another which would direct the attor ney general to investigate the causes of unreasonable advances in prices of toodstutts and other products insotar as they are claimed to be affected by any combination or conspiracy, and to report to congress what remedies should be adopted. Inquiry Is Proposed. A joint congressional committee to investigate the whole food situation was proposed by Representative Lind bergh of Minesot, and Representative Carter of Massachuetts nought the appointment of a house special com mittee of nine members to Investigate and report recommendations to con gress within thirty days. Representative steernerson of Min nesota, and North Dakota farmers. Representaitve McKellar of Tennes see reported his bill to regulte cold storage of food, and Representative farr ot Pennsylvania, reintroduced his measure for ap rovisional embargo on wheat and wheat flour. Representative Adamson of Geor gia, chairman of the house interstate and foreign commerce committee to which the embargo bills were referred, announced during the day that e would oppose any sort of embargo. "The only embargo law we ever passed," said Mr. Adamson, "was the most unpopular law ever enacted save only the alien and sedition laws. That embargo law was repealed as soon as possible. It was a dead letter before it was repealed. Railroads Must ' Pay for Failure To Furnish Cars Washington.

Washington, Dec. 4. Estimates of the expense of all branches of the government for. the fiscal . year. 1918, for which the session of congress as sembling today , must appropriate funds, total $1,25815,8J4. This sum is exclusive of $325,355, 820 to, be appropriated for the postal service, which Is expected to be re turned to the treasury by postal rev enue, and a sinking fund appropria tion of $60,748,000 toward the public debt. , The total appropriations for the fiscal year 19J7 ending next June, ex clusive of these two items, were $1, 184,157,517. The increase of some $84,000,000 represents the general trend of the constantly increased cost of govern ment as well as the increased cost of living. Increases in compensation and in numbers of employes are to be found in the estimates of all branches of the government and to meet that tendency administration officials have attempted a policy of paring down all proposals for new projects with the exceptions of national defense, expen ditures to meet the growth of the country and the many burdens thrust upon the United States by the war. Defertse Budget Biggest. The greatest increases are, of course, in the estimates for cajrying out the national policy of defense. Where the War department's appro priations for the current year were $381,482,802 it estimates this year for $421,352,44?. The navy appropriation, which was $315,613,781 for the cur rent year, would, according to esti mate, be $382,497,536. An estimate of $12,230,356 for the Indian bureau represents an increase over current appropriations of $1,262, 712. Of that sum $225,000 is asked to complete construction of a diversion dam and controlling works for the Gila river irrigation project at a site above Florence, Ariz., and for begin ning construction of canals and struc tures to carry the natural flow of the Gila river to the Indian lands of the Gila river Ihdian reservation and to public and private lands in Pinal county, Arizona. For beginning con struction of an irrigation system for 1,768 acres of Indian land on the Hoopa valley Indian reservation in California $34,200 is asked. Pension Roll Smaller. Notwithstanding the $20 monthly pension for 70-ycar-old widows of soldiers of the civil and Mexican wars and the war of 1812, passed at the last session of the congress, the estimates of appropriations required for the pension bureau at $155,560,000 shows a decrease of $2,505,000. For expenditures of the Panama canal, exclusive of fortifications, an estimate of $19,787,266 is submitted as compared with $16,804,200 for the current year.
