CHICAGO, Jan. S.-Thc continued
soaring Of the price of wheat and
resultant increase in the price Of
flour, brought forth plans for a cam
raign to have congress place an en-
barge on the expectation of wheat
and flour, as well as on arms and
ammunition. Resolutions to this ef-
feet, it was announced, will be intro
duced at the next meeting of the
Chicago Retail Grocers and Butchers
association. 1t was prtdicted that if
the prices of wheat went much high
er the people would turn to corn in
place of wheat bread.
The belief that Italy is on the
verge of hostilities sent the price of
wheat to $1.41a. Nearly 100000

Others declared the contrary belief
and said the price will still go high

Still another opinion was that the
question was supply rather than

LONDON, Jan. S.-Winter storms
and floods. while they have put an
end to any military operations on 4
large scale, have not been able to
prevent the armies of the east and
est from pursuing the offensive at
isolated points along the two ex-
tended fronts. In the snow covered
bills of the Caucuses hardy Sibor-
lans are searching out the routed
Turks, who are reported to be sun
rendering by the thousands.
In Flanders, which is virtually all
under water. the allies assert they
have found it possible to make some
headway. The Russians continue
their forward movement in the Car
pathians and in Bukowina, while in
France infantry attacks have been
made at many points, followed by
artillery engagements, and sapping
and mining operations. Only in Po-
land and Galicfa does there seem to
be an entire lull.
The French have advanced a few
yards in the vicinity of Rheims. but
were compelled to give ground in the
Argonne as a result of the Germans
having mined some of their first line
