New York February 15 United Press reports that La Vig Chere or the high cost of living endangers the Poincare government more than the German indemnity. Wine price rises from 80 centimes to over a franc and 40 centimes and pot au feu climbs from 3 francs to 12 francs. Wages fail to keep pace, elevating costs for workers and the middle class as butter sugar and bread also rise. The public debt of daily life deepens amid prices surging, signaling the German counteroffensive's economic impact on France. Premier Poincare faces a likely downfall.
