our troops, which left fortified posi-
lions at Antwerp to attack the Ger

Malines triangle, have returned with,
IN the outer ring of the Antwerp fortl
Acations.
"The sortie, which at first seemed
70 be merely q skirmish operation
against covering troops left by the
enemy in front OF Antwerp, developed
into an action on an extensive scale
The enemy's position was very strong
owing to the nature of the ground anc
the earthworks thrown up during the
last fortnight.
"The necessity for holding this posi-
ton at all costs obliged the enemy tc
call for all available forces. Thus the
third German army corps (4o,oot
men), which had left Ninove for Ne
debraeckel, returned hastily, and the
ninth corps 100000 mem, which was
already marching southwark on the
-Ruyen road, was likewise
recalled.
Moreover, landwehr ana iandstrun

one OF the best sections Of the city is

that We will have a. least one avenue
for about six blocks which will present
r. most attractive appearance or account
of the uniform height of the buildings
on each side.
Another thing which will help Park
avenue very considerably will be the

North Of 5Oth street PARK avenue is
already well established as q high class

last three or four years are now cater
ing 10 tho vealthiest families and those
also most prominent socially. who for

NO MONEY FOR
 BIG JAP ARMY Parliament Insists That Present Force Is Strong Enough for
 Protection.

TOKYO, Japan, Dec. 26.-The bill to increase the military appropriation has been defeated. The members of parliament insist that the burden of taxes imposed upon the people for the present army is large enough and that no immediate need has been shown by the government for larg- CT army than now maintained.
 The government is anxious to have a larger appropriation because of the present uncertainty in European af' fairs which may involve Japan at any time into a war in Europe. It ls certain that should Germany and Austria win that Japan will have a hard fight with the winner:
 The members of parliament, how ever, insist that the Japanese navy is all the protection needed against Europe at this time now that Ger many has been driven from China.

ARGENTINA WHEAT READY FOR EXPORT Government Allows Shipments To Foreign countries-insiders
 Make Big Profit.

BUENOS AYRES, Dec 26-The pro- hibition against the exporting of wheat from Argentina has been abol- ished. The government has found that the supply of wheat is more than enough to care for the local consump- tion and also allow for the export ing of large quantities to Europe.
 Wheat has been selling at a low price while the export prohibition was in force but has taken big jump since the announcement. Insiders are said to have purchased heavily while the price was low and will reap a big harvest of gold by the advance It. is charged that government agents and officials are members of the pool which has been purchasing wheat the past few weeks. '
 "A dozen British ships have been loading today and will clear immedi- ately with full cargoes of wheat. Shipping has been resumed with Flu. rope since the defeat of the German fleet. A number of British warships, however, are still patrolling the coast watching for the German cruisers still reported on the high seas.

MAIL CARRIER
 FROZEN ID DEATH Tried To Deliver Christmas Pack ages-Exhausted and Dies While
 Family Await His Return.

CHEYBOGAN, Mich, Dec 26.-Jos- eph White, mail carrier, was frozen to death on Christmas morning when trying to reach an island on Lake Huron. He had number of Christ mas packages for the residents on the island and although it was in. tensely cold and the carrier was al- most exhausted as a result of the heavy work of the past few weeks when big parcels have been iv;ng for local people he wished to deliv- CT the Christmas gifts to the people on the island and started across.
 His body was found late in the af- ternoon when a searching party went out to locate the missing carrier, whose family were waiting his return before they sat down to the Christ mas feast. The snowstorm which started shortly after he left the shore had bewildered White and he walk ed about in a circle until exhaust ed and then lay down and had been frozen to death with his arms filled with Christmas toys for the little folks on the island.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Con- gress adjourned on Thursday over the holidays and will meet again on De- cember 29. It had been expected to take a longer vacation but the vote on the prohibition amendment delay ed adjournment.
 The vote to amend the constitution to provide for the granting of uni versal suffrage for women, which comes up upon reconvening, forces the members of congress to get busy and dispose of the bill.
 The women are here in force to lobby the bill through. It is, how ever, doubtful if they can secure any where near the vote necessary to have it passed. The congressman. however, would have liked to avoided the vote, as they must put them selves on record and the women have organized black list and will fight the reelection of all members of con- gress who refuse to aid them in the effort to have the right of suffrage granted to men and women alike.
