the motion at Tuesday nights meet
ing with the recommendation that
the date be set for sometime this
month before the farmers get busy
on their own work and while the
moisture is yet in the roads.
President Desgranges had a list
Of work which he assigned to some
Of the committees with the request
that they get busy and stir up some
action thereon. To the city interests
committee he assigned the matter
Of improving the vacant lots by cul-
tivation and also asked report of
the possibilities of starting action
toward securing a city park.
He asked the transportation COM
mittee to look into the matter of
freight rates on watermelons, the
present rate being all out of proper
ton to the rates on products of
similar market value.

that the 2nd battalion of chasseurs- a-pide Qight infantry) accomplished one of the heroic feats fthe war The story of it is told by Leon Gen ton a veteran of the Moroccan cam paign with seven medals pinned on hi sbreast, who engaged as voluu- teer at the outbreak O fthe war.
 The Germans had taken Blamont and Badonviller. and when the chas- seurs came through it was to hear the story of the shooting of the may ors of both these towns The l7th Chasseurs from Luneville had al- ready chased them fro mthese posi-. tlons and the 2nd battalion joined in the pursuit down the valley. It was at the period of the war when things turned badly fro the French. In LOT raine as well as in Alsace the Ger mans counter-attacked with strong re- Inducements and the French were obliged to fall back The heavy ar tillery posted behind a ridge covered by vineyards was in danger, and the
 2nd battalion was ordered to hold the vineyard an dprotect the retreat of the artillery at all cost. They had

no time to dig themselves in, nothing to conceal their position excepting the leaves they tore from the grape vines. but they held the position un- der an intense fire at a distance of only 900 yards
 At three o'clock in the afternoon the heavy guns had been hauled safe ly away and the order came to retire. The officer who brought the order could find no officer to whom to de- liver it. What was left of the com pany of 25O chasseurs was in charge of a corporal; when they stod up to be counted after crawling back through the vineyards out of the range of the enemys fire there were only fifteen left of the 25O; all or the fifteen were wounded They were loaded into improyised ambulances, some O fthem taken back on gun car rlages as far as Seraville. Here an im- pressive array of officers awaited them, General de Curieres de Castel- nau. a distinguished appearing man with gray moustache and goatee, stepped out and greeted the survivors.

WITNESS DESCRIBES HOW WAR GAME IS
 ACTUALLY PLAYED

BERLIN, Dec. 1.-Newspaper cor as is well known, have seen almost nothing of the actual fighting in this war but on the Ger man side. there is now one account of a batte written by one Of the men who watched it from the headquarters of the commanding general himself This was recent engagement fought on the East Prussian frontier in Rus sia. and it was described by Captain Schickert. the war correspondent of the Berlin Lokal Anzeisger What he saw from the observation post of General von Morgen is thus reported:
 "The battlefield was spread out be. fore us like a panorama A slightly rolling plain stretched away toward forests on the horizon We could clear ly see the movements of the infantry in Q depression to our right. Making good use of the covering at hand, a battalion was moving forward to re- inforce its riflemen, whose thin battle line was only just visible through our field glasses. It advanced in closed formation at double-quick across the back of the ridge How important this movement was just at this moment was shown by the bursting of Rus sian shrapnel over that ridge, but some time after our men had crossed it. Just like on dricl,' said his EX- cellency with a smile.
 But the Russian artillery needs to be closely watched. "A call from the Y. Regiment was announced from the telephone. The commander asks for artillery support as the Russian entrenchments have proved too strong to be taken by infantry From a booth in another shelter pit, where the com mander of the division to which the regiment belonged had taken his posi- ton, we heard Captain Oestereich give the telephone order to change the aim Then he rushed to the near est field telescope to watch the burst. ingpoint of the first shot fired at the new point. After that he sprang back into the pit and shouted: Twenty shorter With rapt attention we watched with our glasses the luther developments and saw how the shrap- mel explosions moved closer and clos CT to the southern edge of the village, almost obscuring it with their smoke His Excellency looked at his watch
 Just eleven, he remarked, almost lunch time, We saw the ring of Ger man rifemen drawing up closer and closer around the village.

of a modest dwelling on the bank of the Thur. A column of black smoke shot up through the hole and cloud of dust and smoke poured into the street through a big hole in the front wall The neighbors brought out Ia woman covered with dust, stained red by a stream that flowed from gash in her scalp She clutched a piece of pasteboard in one hand. While some O fthe rescuers washed the red stained dust from her face, she watched others bring out her husbands Hfeless body.
 "lf you could see what they have done to your father" she cried bit terly. gazing at the cadboard, "and what has become of your home, you'd turn youi guns the other way What she was looking ct was a photograph of her two sons in the uniform of lhe Prussian infaatry.
 While those who adopted Frech na- tionality have escaped all German in- fluences, the younger generation on the German side of the frontier has unquestionably become more indiffer- ent to the mother country. The result is a situation which is illustrated by the foregoing incident.
 The material sufferings of Alsace, from the Vosges to the Valley of the Rhine, resulting from the alternate occupation by Germans and French, have leen briefly related in despatch es. The fighting around Thann was particularly severe; all the way down the valley of the Thur, along IS miles of alternating ridges and gulleys, every inch of ground was stubbornly contested tn 2 possession Of it proved | to be costly for both sides. The | French are now installed here for ] the second time since August l5tl They have pushed as far as Colmar about the time of the taking of Mul- l hausen, but were forced back again when the occupying forces were weakened to reinforce the armies of | the north The Germans recaptured Cernay, an dthen began a systematic and incessant bombardment of this ancient town.
 In two months $50 six-inch shells have been thrown into Thann and ! 300 into the vineyards to the north. ] Sixty houses have been entirely de- stroyed and many others partially de- molished. Many O fthe streets are blocked by the debris of crumbling houses. Vt the inhabitants have stuck to the town. occupying them selves. with the aid of the French soldiers. in restoring such houses as 1t is possible to repair The cathedral of Saint Theobault - a real jewel of architecture with some famous stained glass of the 18th century-has thus far escaped damage ,thourh a dozen shells have fallen near it.

The regiment has taken WI Brave regiment, his Excellency to himself Now. General, strike in further to the right, he said, turning to the next protected pit Battery open fire, or dered the general, and Capt. Oester- eich repeated 1t through the telephone.
 When the fire of the battery upon the new target was well under way, its commander turned to one of the newspaper men and remarked We have been in this position for nearly two weeks and. so far as the circum- stances permitted, we have fixed our sevels in a homelike way
 "Yes, answered my colleague with smile, and you have even shaved yourself in celebration of the day. The captain, strokng his bronze cheek, reioined: And my fragment of a mirror, my only toilet object was cribbed by somebody while l was do- ing it.
 Another telephone call; The regi- ment that took w. is under fire from heavy Russian battery and asks for support. This time the remedy was not SO easy. Where is our nearest heavy battery?' asked his Excellency. The Captain pointed 1t out on the map and his EXcellency continued: Then telephone at once that it must shell the Russians This time 1t was like a prize guessing contest for us to find the position of the Russian battery Only after we had been repeatedly helped by the experts were we able to discern the well-concea' ed point.

STOCK EXCHANGE HAS
 SPIRIT OF CHEER IN
 GENERAL BETTER TONE

NEW YORK, Dec 3.-Numerous favorable development, imparted greater cheerfunness today to inc general financial situation. Bond trad ing on the stock exchange was larg- CT and broader in the aggregate than at any time since the resumption and greater frmness was shown by the more seasoned. issues.
 Declines in some obscure ponds were again severe, trJ mtwo and one half 10 almost six points. More sub stantial advances included Rock Isl- and fours and es, New Haven sixes, New York railway adjustment lives and Westchester and Boston four and one-halfs. the latter recov. ering nine and one-half points from their mid-year spectacular declines.
 The exchanges decision to issue daily what amounts to an official list of transactions in stocks also stimulated confidence. Several active stocks are added already to the long list of securities which are in demand well above the minimum prices. Ac. cepting the new high price recorded by New York city siXes as a criterion there was increased inquiry in almost all classes O fshort term notes.
 A S5.0OO.OOO Swedish government loan taken by a syndicate today prom ised every success of high interest. the yield being attractive There are many rumors of further loans to for eign governments by our bankers but they are unconilrmed
 Money for shorter terms is obtain able at lower rates and call loans went to three and one-half per cent. The local flow of money indicated the clearing house institutions lost a con- siderable sum to the sub-treasury due largely to a heavy payment of war tax and further retirement of emer- gency currency.
 The London exchange is dull, but slightly easier Additional railway re- turns for October showed a further heavy losses in net earnings.

should have been sent out on the
market.
They found pork, which sailed the
highest proportionately, slowed away
while the packers were asking 10
cents pound over the normal prices.
Most of this information Geary is
holding back until Hoyne orders it
produced before the grand jury, but it
is admitted that it is very strong.
The Municipal Market Commits
sion, of which Aid. James H. Lawley
is chairman, is proceeding with their
investigation. A meeting will be held
late this afternoon when the present
crisis will be discussed and the es-
Enlistment of public market urged.
Frederick Rex, secretary of the
commission, has just returned from a
trip through the west. He will tell
Of the advantages of the public mar
kets of Montreal and Boston where
stable products such as flour and
meats are sold at approximately 25
per cent cheaper and fruits at so per
cent cheaper than sold at the COM
mercial markets.
Asst Corporation Counsel Leon
Hornstein will represent the legal de-
partment of the city at the commits
sion hearing. Wilkerson and Hoyne
may also be present. -.>
Investigators from Hoyne's are
combining most of their attention to
the cold storage houses. They find
that sugar and fish is also boarded up.
Health Commissioner George B.
Young will be asked why the cold
storage ordinance was never put in
effect. This ordinance directs that all
~foodstuffs be labeled the day they
are placed in storage.
Aid Lawley says there is still $24,-
800 left out of the special $25, 900
fund of the Commission on Unem-
ployment. He believes the money
should be used to start five public
markets.

FOOD HOGS THE TARGET FOR
SOME FIERCE ATTACKS

SOME FIERCE ATTACKS
Food hogs found themselves the
target for some fierce attacks today.
The people, thoroughly aroused at
the food jugglery of the past ten days,
are up in arms. District Attorney VIII
kerson, States Attorney Hoyne and
the Municipal Market Commission
have all taken steps that may lead to
serious trouble for the men respon-
sible.
Both Wilkerson and Hoyne will get
after the cold storage houses.
Attorneys representing the beef
trust conferred with Wilkerson. They
said they would open their books to
the district attorney and let him see
the record of all recent shipments.
Wilkerson made the following
statement to the press:
1.-THE price situation is vastly diff
ferent one from all others the govern
ment has encountered.
1--WE have prosecuted trusts as
price fixers. We have won and lost.
Unlike other monopoly prosecutions
which have consumed long months of
inquiry and trial, this will be terse
but rigid one. We will have the goods
on the guilty persons before few
days will have passed by, because in
this case prices have scared beyond
measure within a few days. The ter
rible holocaust in Europe world
calamity is the pillar upon which
the price raiSerS' stand
"And it will be necessary to learn
only that within few weeks prices
were boosted far beyond their level,
while the costcdid not increase CORE
spondingly, to fix the guilt.
Heretofore great corporations
hailed into court as trusts, price fix
ers and competition stifers, have US
ed the plea that they we're organized
as matter of economy; that by COM
bining they have eliminated expense |
and waste. But not so here"
