LONDON, Nov. 22.-The latest re- ports from the Balkan zone indicate that the Serbians are being heavily pressed by the enveloping hosts of their enemies. The Serbian line of re- treat has been further narrowed by the taking of Sienica by the Bulgars while farther to the east the Germans under von Mackensen have occupied Raska after a savage fight in which the invaders suffered frightful losses.
 The Serbs are being gradually push ed back toward Montenegro as indi- cated by the fact that Raska Is situated but thirty seven miles from the Mon tenegrin border A heavy engagement between the French and Bulgarians in the valley of the Vardar Is reported from Salonika but no details are avail able

MAY WHEAT PRICE
JUMPS TO S1.66
New Record Follows Drop of
Eight Cents When Peace

CHICAGO, Feb. 3-Peace rumors
dealt sudden blow today to high
prices of wheat. At the outset as
much as SC bushel was knocked off
the value of the May delivery, in
which, however, transactions were
relatively small The July option, in
which business chiefly centred,
was given a setback of two cents at
the opening. May sold as low as 81 81
whereas the close yesterday was
s1.65
The break in prices, however, was
only temporary, and soon May wheat
touched q new high record, SISSY
Fear of the opening of the Darda-
nelles had. considerable to do with the
wildness of the fluctuations in wheat
Reports, though, that several of the
chief forts defending the strait had
been demolished were not fully cred
tied, and did not have lasting ef-
feet. The same was true of the peace
talk. which rested on what acton by
financiers is likely to be taken by
May /.
During the break May reached for
a moment as low as 1.56%, fall of

of any greater strain than usual.
on the rebound May wheat jumped
eventually to s1.66, making the range
covered by that option nine cents, a
swing seldom equalled In SO short a
time. July dropped five cents, to

PUBLIC HEARINGS

CHARTER REVISION
Former Sheriff Sommer Oh.
jects to Holding of "Closed
Door" Sessions.

Fearing that the work Of Mayor
Raymond's Charter Revision Commit
tee would not meet with the approval
of the public at large. the Charter
Revision Committee last night decided
to have a series of public meetings,
commencing Tuesday, February %.
Former Sheriff Frank Fl. Sommer, as
soon as the committee went into ses-
sion. started the ball a-rolling for
public hearings, in lieu of nine men
behind closed doors framing charter
for the city.
II am In doubt whether the re-
suits OF our work will meet with the
approval of the public at large" said
Mr.. Sommer. II believe in taking the
people into our confidence and discuss
matters with them, and not wait until
the' committee has planned the char
ter and compel the citizens to dscuss
the merits or demerits of our work"
Mr.. Sommer also said that the pub
lie has not much confidence In closed
door sessions, and this committee

.'I believe IN doing this work right
said Mr.. Frazer. 1--WE should moi
rush / do not believe that any char.
ter bill will go to the Legislature this
session."
Mr.. Frazer explained that 1t would
take at least twelve months to frame
charter for Newark as it should be
framed. After discussion it was ten
tatively arranged that no bill would
be introduced this year
The committee decided, in addition
to holding public meetings, to have
circular letters printed and sent to
every club and civic organization in
Newark. By this plan it is believed
that widespread expressions will be
forthcoming as to the form of a char
ter Newark demands.
Former Judge Jerome T. Congleton
stated that the hearings held by tbs
charter revision committee of 1911
were a ''fizzle." Mr.. Sommer ex-
planned this by saying that people
will not discuss a question that is al
ready decided as readily as they will
take part in an open debate on q
question to be decided.
Richard C. Jenkinson, chairman OF
the commission. appointed Mr.. Frazer
Mr.. Sommer and John C. Dana to
prepare data to be sent to the civic
organizations and to prepare for the

SNOWSTORM
AGAIN SWEEPS
OVER THE CITY
Local Forecaster Believes Pres
ent Fall Will Not Last
Long.

The storm which ceased yesterday
broke out again at noon today. but,
according to the indications seen by
| the forecaster at noon, 1t will not
last so long as the part we have been
| through. There is no sign OF clearing
in sight, however, and tomorrow
probably will be cloudy If not stormy.
How widespread the storm is may
be told from the report of the federal
forecaster. who said today:
"The Ohio valley storm is central
this morning off the Virginia capes
and moving eastward. 1t has been
attended by SHOWS in the Middle At
lantic and New England States, Ten
nessee, the Ohio valley and the lake
region. Shows and rains are also re-
ported from the west plateau region
and rains in the Pacific States.
Temperature has fallen over the
Ohio valley, the Middle Atlantic and
South Atlantic States. and 1t has
risen over the plains States and the
northwest.
There will be SHOWS tonight in
New England, New York, and on the
middle Atlantic Coast, followed by
fair in these districts Thursday.
Shows are also probable in the upper
lake region. Elsewhere east OF the
Mississippi river the weather will be
fair tonight and Thursday. Tempera-
ture will rise Thursday in the lake
region, the Ohio Valley, Tennessee
and the East Gulf States. 1t will not
change materially in the east States
during the next thirty-six hours.
storm warnings are displayed on
the Atlantic Coast from Block Island
to Eastport, Maine"
The change from snow to rain last
Sunday night saved Newark from
being under at least two feet of snow
now. AS it is traffic. has returned to
practically normal conditions. The
Board of Works put another 100 Ia
borers to work clearing away the
snow this morning. making force Of
330 men and 100 teams on the job. The
Public Service Corporation also had
extra men at work.
The police today commenced notify
ing property owners and tenants OF
places where the snow and ice has
nor been removed from the sidewalks
that they will be held responsible for
the condition of the walks under the
cty ordinance that provides for the
cleaning of sidewalks by property
owners and tenants. The sidewalks
in front of stores and other buildings,
also vacant lots. are not exempt so il
is probable that many unemployed
men will be given work by individuals
today in removing the snow and ice
from the walks.
The lowest temperature last night
was 20 degrees, at 7 O'clock % and at
noon 2s, and at the latter hour there
was a northeast wind blowing at the
rate of four miles an hour. Nothing
to compare with the amount of rain
recorded thus far this year Is to be
found during the twenty-five years
the weather records have been kept
in Newark.

food. Her women and little children

This is Poland's plight as the lead

of the Polish national committee they
asked the United Press to make pub
lie an appeal to the women of Amer
lea. They asked that their sisters

ing any gifts for the relief of those
made destitute by the war to the
