WEEKLY WAR REVIEW

The fall of Monastir in southern
Serbia was an event of the week end
ing Dec. 5. German, Austrian and
Bulgarian officers entered the city
and raised the flags of their respec-
tive nations. The principal task of
the Teutonic troops at present seems
ito be the rounding up of isolated units
of the defeated Serbian army, Berlin
reporting the capture of several thou
sands of Serbian soldiers as the re-
cult of mountain fights. Detachments
of the main Serbian army that es-
capped into Montenegro nave joined
the Montenegrin forces that are now
resisting the Austrian advance into
that country. 1t is expected that the
Eulgarians. who announced the COM
pletion of their operations against Ser
kia, will next turn their attention to
lie Anglo-French troops in southern
Serbia.
British troops under General Town
send, which have been operating in
AIesopotania, with the city of Bagdad
as their objective. are now in full re-
treat after their defeat at Ctesiphon.
They are falling back upon Kut-el-
Amara, so miles southeast of Ctesi-
phon, closely pursued by tne Turks,
who greatly outnumber the invaders,
The British will await achievements
at Kut-el-Amara.
Allied warships continued the bonn
tardment of Turkish positions in the
DardanelIes, but Coustantinople
claims nothing,of advantage was gain
ed by these attacks. The Austrians
and Italians in the Gorizio district
continued their desperate fighting
Artillery ducls featured the week on
the western front. On the eastern
front nothing of moment was reported
by the belligerents.
Requisition of the steamers Hook
ing and Genesse of the American
Transatlantic company by the British
government moved Secretary of State
Lansing to send a note to London de
manding an explanation. 1t is expect
ed protest will be sent to England
but Secretary Lansing wants to know
before determining its form the
grounds upon which Great Britain ex
poets to justify its action.

A Big Business

The business men o: Richmond are
not only forming booster clubs. credit
associations. and business mems meet
ings, but are right up to the minute in
their business methods. The latest IL
lustration of this is a we'll equipped
kitchen at Earrings Mill. Who would
have thought. in the olden days, of a
kitchen being part of flour mill
But when you stop and ask yourself the
question, why shouldn't 1t be-" your
answer will naturally be that it is as
necessary for the miller to know what
kind of bread his -four is going to make.
AS it is necessary for the automobile
manufacturer to know how well the
automobile he is making will climb a
hill
1t would be well worth your time to
see the kitchen at Earrings Mill. For
cooking they use an electrical oven aud
gas range. Scales are used TO weigh
Lhe -four, lard and other ingredients. so
rs to make a comparative test in baking
biscuits. The thickness of the dough is
measured before it is baked and the
height of the biscuits OTTER being baked.
This shows the rising qualities of the
dough.
This baking is not done at certain time
but is done any time each day. SO that
| if you or any of your friends want 10 go
down there and see this kitchen you can
call Earrings Mill over the phone and
arrange for a trip through their mill,
and you can see wheat unlOaded from
the wagons, after which it is famed.
secured and polished before being
ground The grinding and separating
process is very Interesting. Each parti-
Gle of flour must go through a very fine
silk cloth.
| From the time the wheat is unloaded
out of the wagons it is handled entirely
by up to-date machinery throughout the
process, even to the filling of the -four
sacks.
Then walk into their kitchen and see
the flour finished into bread ready for
use and it will give you an idea of tile
completeness of this plant right here in
your on midst.
These people are glad to have any
one come and inspect their mill, and if
you have visitors and hey would like 10
see this plant the company will be glad To
have you bring them down and they
will gladly show you through the plant
Those who happen 10 go 10 the mill
and go through 1t are unanimous in
saying that they wish they had gone
down earlier and known more about
this up-to- date plant. By this tester il
is possible TO tell the exact percentage
of moisture in the corn or wheat. Also
the gluten tester is in this room.
Within a week this mill will put on
the market Earrings Pancake Flour.
This is made of wheat flour, corn flour,
rice -four, with added ingredients ne
cessary to make il self rising. Ii con-
tainS the most nutritious part of the
wheat, and by the blending of the corn
and rice flour makes very healthy
food. This Earrings Pancake Flour will
be put up in cartons and will sell for
l0c each. All the grocery stores will
have it for sale. They already have
orders on their books for over six hun
dred packages of pancake flour. which
shows the confidence the trade has in
this firm by placing their orders in
advance.

tions On Battle Fronts.
London, Dec. 6.-Late advices from
the near east state that negotiations
between Greece and the allied powers
still drag ON at Athens, new bitches
seemingly arising as the old ones are
smoothed out
The people of the allied countries,
particularly those of France and Italy,
are becoming impatient over the con-
tinual delays, and the press is de-
nanding that stern action be taken to
demonstrate to King Constantine and
bis ministers the determination of the
quadruple entente to secure the assur-
ances demanded. New proposals are
said to have been made by France
and Great Britain in the hope of
reaching an agreement.
The attitude of Roumania also re-
mains undecided. Since the dispatch
announcing the closing of Roumanian
ports to foreign trade was received,
silence has descended upon Bucha-
rest, and Europe is awaiting anxiously
the next move, which will give
meaning to the order The general
belief here is that the Roumanian gov
ernment is waiting for the concentra-
tion of a sufficient Russian force in
Bessarabia and large enough Anglo
French army in southern Serbia to
make victory certain before joining
the allies.
Meanwhile the Austro- Germans and
Rulgarians continue rounding up the
few Serbian troops remaining in
Serbia and also are prosecuting with
their usual energy tne campaign
against Montenegro.
An official statement issued by the
French war Office indicates that the
allied troops in southern Serbia are
continuing to hold their own against
the on-rush of the Bulgarians sweep
ing southwark and to the southeast
since the fan of Monastir.
Unusual calm prevails on the vari-
Gus battle fronts, even the Italians
apparently slackening their Offensive,
probably in preparation for the next
rhase, which they hope will place
Gorilla in their hands.
The check suffered by General
Townsend in Mesopotamia is a severe
disappointment to the British public.
which had looked upon this expedi-
tion as the brightest spot thus far in
the war. Nothing has been heard
from General Townsend since he
reached Kut-el-Amara, where it is
likely he will make stand, as the
position is very strong one.

tions Plot.
Washington, Dec Disclosures as
to the relations between agents OF the
German government and labor's ma
tional peace council. an organization
which conducted an extensive propa-
gande for an embargo on munition
exports, are expected from an investi-
cation being carried on by the depart

the department will lay before the
federal grand jury at New York evi-
dence intended to support a Charge
that this organization was financed by
German agents, and that it's propa-
ganda was part and parcel of those
pro-German movements which have
had so many ramifications in the
past several months.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, re-.
pudiated labor's peace council in the
name of organized labor and some
of its officers began to resign. Repre-
sentative Buchanan himself finally re-
tired from the presidency and little
has been heard of it since.
1t is reported that subpoenaes al
ready have been issued for c. NJ. Ca

of the International. Brotherhood OF

two other officials of tne organization.
Agents of the government who have
been most active in securing the evil
dence upon which was based the de-
mand for the recall of the German
military and naval attaches, respec-
lively, Captain Boy-Ed and Captain
Won Papen, do not believe that the
reasons actuating the United States
in this matter will ever be made pub

from this country by Germany win

TO action will be taken by Germany
to have the actual charges against
the diplomatic officials made known.
The German government, so these
government agents assert. mas al
ready been informed of all the facts
in the attaches cases; and no
further steps will be taken in their
tehalf
Meanwhile officials of the depart
ment of justice are busy preparing re-
ports of evidence and documents
gathered throughout the country upon
wnich will be based demands for the
recall of many other German agents
in America. 1t is confidently stated
that Boyd and Won Papen will not
be alone in their departure.
The arrest in San Francisco o.
Baron Won Bricken, who claims to
be connected with the Office of the

garded here as one of the most i'm
portant made in several weeks. The
baron, according to the information
here. was a prominent figure in the
plans OF c. c. Crowley. arrested in
the same city, charged with plots
against munition factories. More ar
rests are to be made in the Crowley
case and important developments are
looked for when all the witnesses the
government is seeking reach San
