A similar increase .was announced to-, day by the Frclhofcr Unking Company. Their onc-pAund loaves, ot present re tailing for ten cents, will be sold at eleven cents starting Tucsuay.

"Xo, I don't believe it would war rant a penny-n-loaf increase," he re plied. Mr. McClain said he couldn't "keep track of the price of every little com modity in every community in Penn sylvania." Asked if steps would be taken to fore stall, the increase Tuesday, he referred .the matter to Mr. Hagcdorn. Mr. Ilngedorn said he had all the facts in the case and that they had been submitted to him by the bakers. "We are going over the bakers' state ments," he said, "and will try to deter mine whether the increase Is Justified. Colonel Louis. J.

Illanics Cost ot Materials Mr. Kolb said he was not aware of the demand of oven men for nn increase such ns Mr. McClain mentioned. He sntd the advance was duo to the in crease in the cost of rnw materials. Mr. Kolb fcnid his concern hnd sub mitted no datn to the fair-price com mittee. "Hut we welcome nn investi gation by them," he said. William Frclhofcr said the action his company had taken "should have been done four months nco." He said his bakers had just been granted u 15 per cent pay increase and were now de manding their wages be raised from 33 to $41 by May 1. "lou have no other enterprise in this city which sells Its commodity on a lesser profit," Mr. Frelhofcr said. "I don't know ivhat the other bakers are going to do. but It was up to me to raise the price of our bread or go out of business."

England Threatened to Quit Councfl By (he Associated Press London, April 10. The reply of France to the British note protesting against occupation of parts of Germany by French troop, was received here to day. In official quarters the reply is considered to have relieved the tension. The Millcrand note maintains that France gave Great Britain ample warning on April 3 that France con sidered it necessary to take military step, if Germany failed to withdraw her troops. The French reply mentions the un ratified treaty drawn up between France. Great Britain and the United States for the protection ot France. It closes with assurance that the French Government, for tho promotion of nn equitable Rcttlement of vast problems, declares itself entirely disposed, before npHnir. in hf naQiirpil rtf flip pnnflpnt nf the Allies in all interallied questions' which the execution of the treaty raises. It expresses a hope for further con ferences on the subject. View Reply as Conciliatory Notwithstanding the Insistence ot France in tho reply that there was no alternative for her in the circumstances except occupation of German territory and her denial ot the statements that she had acted without warning, officials here view the note ns conciliatory, be cause of the expressed desire of the French for an Allied conforcncc.
