Mccormick.
The officer stood with his hand on
the car for a moment and after a brief
conversation with Wilson ordered him
To- turn the car around and return to

mount his bicycle and Wilson, taking
advantage of the opportunity. started
hi car suddenly and sped down the
road-not toward the city hail, but to
ward san Diego.
Pedaling furioasly. the officer pur-
sued him for half mile and then.
after being hopelessly outdistanced,

city Marshal McFadden made trip

Unless Villa succeeds in entering the

Cold Weather Factor
In European War

New York, Nov. with snow falling
about Riga, indicating the opening Of
severe northern winter. aud with
their supplies depleted by The sinking
OF many vessels by British submarines,
the German army in the far north
west is facing rather critical situa-
ton. More Injured to the hardships Of
that cline, il is believed the Russians
have the best of the situation there,
while il is known that il is the plan
Of Russia during the coming winter To
make big preparations for a tremen-
dous drive in the spring.
Evidence is accumulating that food
scarcity through out Germany and Aus
tria is becoming more manifest, with
prices advancing rapidly in spite of
the efforts of the governments to reg
ulate them. Whether this will become
serious enough to bring depressing p"i-
walton before another harvest is a
matter of a deal deal of speculation.
1t is now known that the British
forces. whose movements have been Sc
eret, have Joined the Serbs and French
who are fighting the Bulgars just
north Of the Greek line. and who have
penetrated several miles into Bulgaria
This is tending to draw the Bulgars
from northern Serbia, where the SERBS
are fighting desperately.
Russian transports have been report
ed off the coast Of Bulgaria ON the
Black Sea and it is expected Russia
will land an army 10 attack bulgaria
