Chicago unless radical and sweeping

gineers and firement previously had
agreed to Join forces In compelling

RETREAT THREATENED
British Force In Mesopotamiz In Haz.
ardous Position.

London, Dec 13.-A Turkish ON
cial statement received here by way
Of Berlin says that the British forces
which are entrenched at Kut-el-Amara
are in danger of being cut OF from
the rear, and that it IL expected that
they will be forced to retreat further
70 the south. The statement also re-
peats private advices received in Con-
stantinople to the effect that the bat
talions were surrounded and taken
prisoners. The position Of the expe-
ditionary force as described in the
Turkish statement is far from reas-
suring. The Turks have driven the
British forces from the right bank Of
the Tigris at Kul-el-Amara and have
occupied the bridge across the river
driving of gunboats which disputed
their progress.

farmers week
At Ohio State University To
Start January 81

You are not too old to go to college.
There is still one school that you can
go to even though you never went to
any other. You can take your wife,
son, daughter, grandson, son-in-law,
or sweetheart too, If you like. Farm
ers' week, held at Columbus January
81 to February 4, will give you five
days of instruction on any subject of
farming that you want. Sixty popular
lectures, many demonstrations and
moving pictures. all combined into
a three-session, five-day course, will
provide instruction on every phase of
agriculture including poultry culture,
soil fertility, apple growing, livestock
raising and dairying.
Farmers Week is the dream of
President Thompson of the Ohio
State university who wants to give
the farmers of Ohio a chance to at
tend the university which they sup
port. He has excused all classes
maintained for the instruction of
5000 students in engineering, medi-
cine, education, pharmacy and law so
that the farmers can come to college.
Practically all the buildings on the
campus Of the university. costing
s5.000,000. win be utilized for the
event.
1--WE want you to come because we
have the best program possible. The
farmers made Farmers Week the big
gest event for boosting agricultural
conditions in Ohio last year. So we
have decided to offer double the ad-
vantages this year. Now you cannot
afford to stay away" says Clark S.
Wheeler, director of extension work
at the university, who is in charge.

Last year man Of So sat beside a
boy of II at the lectures. No expense
is attached to the lectures. A note
book is all that is needed. Farmers
Week has been arranged so that
many farmers could leave their farms
during the slack season. The men in

information gained at Farmers Week
will mean hundreds of dollars in the
next few years to every man who at
tends. Write for a complete pro.

BY PARCEL POST
Food Shipments May Again BE Made
to Germany and Austria.


to Germany and Austria.
New York, Dec. 13.-The re-estab-
l;shment of parcel post service with
Germany and Austria is occupying
the attention of Postmaster General
Burleson, according to Edmund Won
Mach, executive chairman Of the cit
ixens' committee for food shipments.
which on Saturday sent PACKAGES OF
food by first class mail to Germany
by way of Scandinavia. The citizens
committee is exerting itself to the ut
most to reopen the parcels post SER
vice to Germany so that goods may
be shipped without paying the almost
prohibitive first class postage on it..
The service was suspended on Nov.
15 by the government shortly after
the Holland-American line had re-
fused to take shipments on the
ground that the mail service had been
interrupted by the English authorities
because food was reaching the CEN
tral powers through that medium.

Olson announced today.
The recommendation OF the first

man.
The commission at the same time
accepted the 81 recommendation for
chambermalds and other hotel help

restaurants.
Because conditions vary so ms
terially In various towns. the com.

tii wage should not be adopted
without giving the matter more
study.
So far this was the highest wage
recommended In any industry Min
imum wages OF $40 in mercantile
establishments and office help have
been in effect for several months
The commission also decided &c
allow deduction from the wages OF
hotel help OF not more than $3.50
for board or s2.00 for room. or $500
for both. The conference recon-.
mendation to prohibit the employ.
