GROCERIES NOW
CHEAP AS EVER.
PRICES OF SOME STAPLES TEND
TO SLUMP - FLOUR HIGHER
SINCE THE WAR.

Considering the market conditions
into which the war in Europe has
plunged this country, a general sur
vey of food prices shows there has
been no great increase in the price of
a majority of necessities.
At the outbreak of the war, sugar
scared to giddy height, and so it has
been with many other food products.
Among foodstuffs which generally
are still undergoing an advance in
prices are -four, butter and lard. There
is a reduction in the price of sugar,
hams, bacon, potatoes, grits, meal
and cheese, which has taken place in
the last month although the prices of
some of these articles are in advance
of what they were prior to the out
breaking of the war in the east.
Local grocers are of the opinion that
the downward tendency in prices will
continue regardless of the continuation
OF the war.
Basing the statement on the monthly
price list gotten out by the big whole
salers for the benefit of their custom
ers a omparison of prices in food
products for this month with the pric-
es for July, or just prior to the begin
ming of the war, will give some idea
of how these staples prices are af-
fected.
Beans, a slight decrease in some
brands and a slight increase in others,
butter, practically the same; butterine,
same; cheese, made in this country,
the same, made abroad, advanced from
ten to fifteen cents per pound; choco-
late. same; coffee, same for some

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 11.-At
the navy department today Secretary
Daniels had nc official word from the =
armored cruiser North Carolina, which
according to persistent reports this
morning, met with a mishap of some
Kind while cruising in the Mediteran-

North Carolina by wireless, and also
with the cruiser Tennessee, which was

The nature and extent of the damage

TURKS CLAIM VICTORIES
IN THE EASTERN THEATRE
(By Associated Press.)

BERLIN, Nov. 11.-Fighting be-
tween the Russian and Turkish forces
in the Caucasus mountains has been
of severe character during the past
twenty-four hours, and according to an
official announcement made today at
Constantinople the Turks are meeting
substantial successes.
Along the Egyptian frontier the
Turks have begun an offensive cam
paign and the Crescent banner has
made considerable progress. The
Sheikzar fort, one of the modern de-
fenses near Ell Arish, Egypt and near
the Palestine boundary, has been oc-
cupied by Ottoman forces and other
minor successes attained. FL Arish is
an important Mediterranean port and
its possession will give the Turkish
forces operating in Egypt strategic
over the opposing British
troops.

PARLIAMENT MEETS
TO DISCUSS WAR
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Nov. liking George to-
day opened what will probably prove
purely war session of the English
parliament, and during which meas
ures pertaining to the national defense
ard the pursuing of a vigorous conti-
mental campaign are likely the only
ones which will be considered.
There is evidence apparent on all
sides that political lines are to be OBJ
liberated during the session and that
party leaders of all factions will act
as a unit in supporting the present
government until after peace is de-
clared.
Cabinet ministers, it was declared to-
day, may probably be asked to en-
tighten the British public concerning
various phases of the war more than
has been recent public policy, but Lord
Kitchener is to be supported Loyalty
by every member of parliament during
the progress of the European war, and
sufficient money appropriations will be
forthcoming to provide every need of
both army and navy.

TURKEY TROUBLED GERMANS To PLAY
WITH CONSPIRACY TRUMP CARD IN
AGAINST GERMANY FIGHTING BELGIUM
AND YOUNG TURKS PARIS 0PT0M|sT|C
(By Associated Press.l

LONDON, Nov. ia dispatch from
Athens to the Exchange Telegraph
says that a conspiracy against the
Young Turk party and the German al
lance was discovered yesterday. The
chief conspirators were arrested and
shot this morning at sunrise.
The alliance between the Young
Turks, the party now in power, and
the German emperor is distasteful to
a large part of the people of the en-
pire. They feel that they should not
be plunged into the great European
war. The fact that the treasury of
Turkey is practically empty has gain
ed large following for the party in
opposition to the young Turks.
The minister of war announced this
morning through a bulletin that the
least suspicion excited by any one
would he considered evidence strong
enough to convict, and that such would
be rewarded with death.

PARIS, Nov. lit is becoming
more and more evident to French OBJ
servers that Germany is making des-
perate efforts in Belgium to carry out
their determination to penetrate the
Allies battle line and reach either
Dunkirk or Calais on the English
channel. The Kaiser and his soldiers
seem to be playing their last trump in
the game of war. The ability of the
Allies to call this move may bring
about speedy elimination of the
war, it is thought here.
An official bulletin published at
noon today describes the fighting south
of Dixmunde as "very desperate"
Fighting there during the past three
days has continued in a heavy fog,
which favored the Germans advance.
Paris is well satisfied with the news
from the front and the most optimistic
of the experts here are predicting that
it will all be over by Christmas, and
that the French soldiers may spend
that day at home with their loved ones.
