Hostilities will begin early this week,

Mr.. Turk will be given a swell send

And there will be lots of other good
things for the Thanksgiving feast, If

California fruits will be sold in
greater quantities this season than
ever before, as Turkey has stopped
shipping figs and raisins, but Caiifor-

are equal, if they do not surpass the
foreign fruit. Spain also sent large
quantities of raisins to the United
States before the war.
Grapefruit are selling at sc and Sc

other good things, both in and out of

SERBIAN ARMY IS
DRIVEN To LAST.
STAND IN FIGHT.

Although no official confirmation
has been made of the report that the
Bulgarians have captured Monistis, lit
tie hope is felt here that the announce
ment is premature. The impression is
growing that the allies arrived too
late to aid the Serbians. The Serbian
military situation is growing from bad
to worse.
In the north the main Serbian army
is giving away slowly to the battering
Teutonic forces which probably would
move faster if the weather was better.
1t is established that the Bulgarians
haev taken Prilip which made Monistir
untenable.
The Anglo French armies with their
bases at Saloniki seem to be doing no
better than holding their positions.
An optimistic feeling regarding the
diplomatic situation in Greece persists.
The reasons continue to be obscure
however.
The weather has again interviewed in
Russia, and there is little activity re-
ported on any fronts.

BUYING COTTON
FOR SHIPMENT
ITALIAN PORTS

SAVANNAH, Ga, Nov. 20.-Signor
Valesi, of Milan, Italy, is in Savannah
for the purpose, it is said, of purchas-
ing cotton to the exent of 100000 bales
for immediate shipment to that coun-
try. The finished product is destined
for the Italian army, his company hav-
ing a contract with the Itafran govern
nent to furnish the army with certain
cotton goods supplies. Shipment Of
cotton will be made in Italian ships.
Signor valesi for the last three
weeks has been in the western part
of the cotton belt buying cotton. In
Mississippi he bought 1000 bales, ia
Oklahoma 5000 and in Texas, approx
imately 1000. This will all be
shipped from the ports of Galveston
and New Orleans.
1t is estimated that the firm will
spend at least six million dollars in
Georgia alone, outside of what has
already been spent in other states.
This, however, the signor says, de-
pends entirely upon the price that is
quoted him
He came to America twenty-five
days ago on the Taromina, from &C.
noa and proceeded directly to Mis-
sissippi. Regarding the war he has
very decided opinions.
1T is the general impression in my
country" he said, that the war will
last at least three years longer, but
that the Allies will eventually win,
leaving Germany crushed and ex-
hausted and no longer menace 10
the peace of uErope."
He is in favor of Italy sending
troops to aid the Allies in the Balk-
ans, but does not think it will be
done. 1T is necessary for Italy to
steer clear of the Balkans" he said.
For years they have been the fire
beneath the ashes of the serenity of
Europe, and when they did burst
forth involved the whole world in
conflict.
Within the next two years it will
be Germany and Japan against the
entire world
He said that the present unrest in
India was but part of the gigantic
work that Germany was entering
upon and that when the insurrection
was at it's height Japan would throw
in her lot with Germany. You here
in the United States will see that you
cannot keep out of it. Within two
years will see you fighting Germany,
if not with fleets and men, with muni-
tions of war and supplies
He does not think that the Allies
can ever force the Dardanelles. "If
ever they reach Constantinople," he
stated, 1T will be through the back
door, by way of Rumania and Bull
garia, and never through the Dard-
anelles."
