WILL LACK NO ED|BLES
FOR THANKSGIVING DAY
Washington Market Dealers Promise
Plentiful Supply at Reason
able Prices.
Quotations on Turkeys Dependent
Upon Weather, But Likely to
Be Is Cents a Pound.

Material for the Thanksgiving dinner
the market dealers say, will be plenti-
full, and can be purchased at prices
that will not overtaX the pocketbook.
Turkeys, both wholesale and retail
dealers say, will be plentiful and in
good condition, and while they do not
agree as to what prices will be in the
coming week, the majority opinion is
that good turkeys will sell at about 25
cents pound. Those who want extra
choice small birds will probably have
to pay a cent or two more on the pound.
but turkeys as general thing will
sell at the figures named.
These prices are based on seasonable
weather, but should the temperature
remain as warm as it is today turkey
growers will not kill and ship. This
will make the fowls scarce and cause a
higher market. On the other hand,
should it turn cold and receipts OF
dressed turkeys be plentiful then turn
warm about Wednesday of next week
the prices will tumble to a point con-
siderably less than is now fixed as the
figure.

interesting topics for discussion. while

when the gyro was thrown on this was
quickly reduced and held to or de-

Difficulty in Inland Waters.
j. H. Bernhard, president of the In
land Navigation Company, complained
that the naval architects and engin-
GERS have been unable to build vessels
that can economically navigate the in
terror waters of the United States. He
said the Mississippi river may be
watched for hours without sighting a
passing boat, and that the reason is
that marine architects have not seri-
ously attempted to replace the old and

BRYAN AID SOUGHT
BY GERMANS HERE
Committee Will Ask Him 10
Sneak at War Protest
Meeting June "a.

A committee headed by Bernhard
Ridder will leave for Washington this
week to invite former Secretary of
State Bryan to address q mass meeting
at Madison Square Garden June "a. 1t
has been arranged as a protest against
the policy of the administration in its
handling of the German questions now
at issue and against the expectation to
the Allies of arms and ammunition.
The proposed invitation TO Bryan was
decided on at a meeting of the United
German societies which was held last
evening in Mannerchor Hall Henry
Weisman, a lawyer. presided, and in
the course of his address said:
THE fact that we are German-Ameri-
cans does not rob us of our loyalty TO
American ideals and interests. But
we are permeated with the feeling tn t
il is now necessary to arouse the peo-
pie throughout the country, and TO take
the initiative to show that nothing has
happened to cause war between Ger
many and the United States. We will
answer the question: What will you
do in case of war; by saying that the
millions of Communications in this
country will not permit war.
1--WE will give the lie to those who
say that only those who speak English
are Americans. We cannot instil con-
fdence into the hearts of Irish-Ameri-
cans, Hungarian Americans and others,
unless we rally them around those who
for years have given expression to
German 'Kultur.'"
