Already Organized;

CHICAGO, Jan. Wheat flying

wings had 4 grotesque consequence to-
day in Chlcago-the public advocacy
of the formation of stale bread clubs"
throughout the city. To forestall at
tempts to raise the price of bread a

cents instead of 8, was the purpose
which it was said the proposed clubs
would effect.
Members Of the stale bread clubs

themselves TO buy bread one day old.
and not insist on the article hot from
the oven.
Superior health values were assert
ed for day-old bread bv Its advocates,
who declared that what the. matured
loaf lacked In flavor was moro than
offset by ease OF digestion.
Paul ScnulZe. an authority in the
bakery trade. said the practical re-
suit of the plan would be to abolish
the exchange system by which bakers
have been compelled by customers to
remove from their shelves every loaf
that was not sold the day before.
When this wasteful system was done
away with II was promised an econ
omy would be reached which would
enable bakers to continue to sell at 5
cents a loaf, unless the war price OF
flour went skvward to an extent that
has not yet been looked for.

LONDON, Jan. 7.--(1O;40 p. nj
A complete change in the situation in
the near east may be brought about
by the Russian victory over the Turks
in the Caucasus.
If the Turkish defeat is as sweep

army corps and the repulse of thlrd
the Turkish menace against the
Russians in Trans-C -Caucasia has been

their best trained officers and men, 1t
is believed here, viii compel the
Turks to give up any ambition they
had of invading their enemy's terri
tory and force them to concentrate
on the defense OF their own country
Military men, however, are taking
even greater interest In the Russian
invasion of Hungary through uzsok
pass In the Carpathians and their
rapid advance on Transylvanla
through BukoWina simultaneously
with their movements toward Cracow.
These combined operations are the
most gigantic undertaken in the war.

count of the softness of the roads.
1t has been suggested that the Ger
mans intend to use the Nistula for the
transport of their guns, but with the
Russians in possession Of the northern
bank, this obviously would be impos-
sible.
Although the fighting has been in
tense at many points on the western
front. there is little or no change in
Flanders. where the fields and roads
are under several feet of water.
In that territory only artillery has
been able to work. but in northern
France between Lille and Arras, there
has been some hard fighting In which
