little change from yesterdays re-ac-

United States Steel and some of the

a new high record. Trading was small
with a narrow range.

FIRST STEP TO CLEAN
CHICAGO OF CRIME
Police Captains to Be Held Strictly
Accountable-Are Threatened with
Dismissal.

CHICAGO. Dee. 20. = The first move
to clear Chicago of crime and purge
the police department, pronounced last
week by Mayor William H. Thompson
to be ''rotten and honeycombed with
grafters in collusion with crooks, was
taken last night by Chief of Police
Charles Healey, who sent out drastic
order to police captains to suppress
crime or suffer suspension.
Chief Healey's order warned com
handing officers that charges would be
filed with the civil service commission
against any captain whose district
showed an increase in crime without
corresponding increase in arrests.
Each captain is to be held strictly
accountable for crimes in his district
The mayor in a statement made after
conference with Chief Healey, the
assistant chief of police. and the presi-
dent of the civil service commits
sion said that he and the other con
ferees were convinced that there was
collusion between members of the po
lice department and criminals. He as
serted that murders of policemen had
| been numerous and that some of these
officers apparently had been victims
of plots within the department.

nouncement of the allied position
in the Seddul-Bahr position and the
tip of the peninsula it is not clear
whether the withdrawal of the troops
indicates a decision to abandon the eff
fort to force the Dardanelles or means
merely a readjustment of the allied
forces.
There has been nc previous hint of
such a move, although the question
had been raised in England whether,
in view of the failure of the allies to
make appreeiable headway at the
Dardanelles and the urgent need for
additional troops at Saloniki, the
Dardanelles forces would be with
drawn.
Two official Turkish communications
received yesterday spoke of heavy fir
ing from land and sea by the allies
but mentioned no movement out of the
ordinary, although this bombardment
may have been conducted to cover the
withdrawal.

Field Marshal French Declares Clio
rious Ending to Heroic Efforts Is
Not Far Distant.

LONDON, Dec. 20. -. Field Marshal
Sir John French issued the following
order of the day Saturday before leav-

''In relinquishing command of the
British army in France l wish to ex-
press to the officers, the non-commis-
stoned officers and men with whom
have been so closely associated during
the last is months, my heartfelt sorrow
in parting with them before the cam
paign in which we have been so long
engaged together has been brought to
victorious conclusion.
q have, however, the frmest convic-
tiOn that such a glorious ending to
their splendid and heroic efforts is not
far distant, and l shall watch their
progress toward this final goal with
| intense interest, but in the most con.
| fdent hope. The success so far attain
ed has been due to the indomitable
spirit and dogged tenacity, which
! knows no defeat, and the heroic cour
| age so abundantly displayed by the
rank and file of the splendid army
which it will ever remain the pride anG
glory of my life to have commanded
during over 16 months of incessant
lighting.
''The regulars and the territorial
of the old army and the new army
have ever shown these magnifcen
qualities in equal degree. From m.
heart l thank them ALL
"At this sad moment of parting m,
heart goes out to those who have re
: ceived lifelong injury from wounds
and I think with sorrow of that grea
and glorious host of my beloved CON
rades, who have made the creates
sacrifice of all by laying down thei
lives for their country.
: = In saying goodby to the BIRTHS
army in France, l ask them once agai
to accept this expression of my deepe,
gratitude and heartfelt devotion tt
: ward them, and my earnest good wisht
: for glorius future, which ] feel to /
assured.

The wedding Of the President and

King and Queen of Belgium
Narrowly Escaped Death
Recently
MISSILES THROWN BY
GERMAN AVIATOR
Struck Within a Yard of Albert and
His Consort, But They Were Not Hit
by the Flying fragments - Attack
Made When Leaving Church.

PARIS, Dec. 20. - The King and
Queen of Belgium narrowly escaped
death recently from a bomb thrown by
a German aviator, according to the
Journal.
They were coming out of church in
which they had attended mass when
six German aeroplanes appeared, flying
low. Apparently they were coming
from Ostend.
The King at once told the people to
scatter and take shelter, but the aero
planes approached so rapidly that few
had time to comply with his instruc-
tions before the machines were over
the village.
Two bombs fell a yard from the King
and Queen, but they were not hit by
the flying fragments.
This is the fifth air raid which has
been absolutely unjustifed, says the
Journal, since the village is inhabited
only by fishermen.

LONDON, Dee. 90. Some indica-
tion of the long expected offensive by
the Germans in Flanders, where the
massing of Teutonic troops is said to
have been in progress several weeks,
is contained in the official British and
French reports, which state that under
a cloud of gas Germans attacked the
British trenches northeast of Ypres.
According to these reports the Ger
mans failed so completely that few of
them emerged from their own trenches
and those who did so were moved
down by artillery fire. The attack was
delivered in the early morning. Later
in the day the Germans displayed un-
usual activity directing a heavy BON
bardment on the British line near
Ypres.
