BOYCOTT ENDS EGG CORNER.
Prices Drop Ten Cents at Chicago Fol-
lowing Action by Women.


lowing Action by Women.
Chicago, Dec. 9.-The "egg corner"
is smashed.
Food prices are tumbling.
Spectators, pacl7ers and produce
men are unloading"
This was the good news brought TO
Chicago housewives on Thursday on
the heels of the opening of the federal
grand jury hearing, egg and butter
boycotts, and a report of warehouse
men showing the selling out of big
holdings of eggs.
Eggs have dropped ten cents dozen,
wholesale, in the last ten days. Butter
is t cents cheaper than it was a week
ago. Potatoes started on the downward
road with a drop of from 5 to s cents
in the week. Southern fruits and vege-
tables came down from s to 10 cents.
While packers and produce men
were inclined to hold the boycott re
sponsible for the drop in prices, the big
shift came with the opening of the fed
eral grand jury's investigation of food
prices.
That the packers and warehousemen
and produce men are unloading"
boarded supplies of foodstuffs became
known Immediately after a conference
between Arthur Meeker, vice president
of Armour & Co., and United States
District Attorney Charles F. Clyne.

Patriotic Millinery.

To please American women who de-
nland hats in harmony with the patri-
otto spirit of the time, leading New
York milliners are following the mill
tary mode in creating a design suitable
for winter wear. The chic steel-helmet
effect, turbans and pompons, reminis-
cent of the trenches and worn by many
fashionable women, are to be super
seeded by the more unitarian Texan
aombrero in a smaller design, close re-
sembling the campaign hat OF the
United States marine.
In the effort of New York designers
TO establish a distinctively American
style devoid of foreign suggestion, the
headgear of the composite soldier and
sailor has proved desirable model.

BUCHAREST is CAPTURED
BY THE GERMANIC ALLIES
Berlin Says Roumanian Forces Near
Disaster in Fiight-Rail Center
Also Captured.

Berlin, Dec. S.-Bucharest, capital
of Roumaf1ia, has been captured, it
was announced officially here on
Wednesday.
Ploechti, the important railway
junction town, Sc miles northwest or
Bucharest, also has been taken.
Field Marshal Won Mackensen's
troops, advancing VIGOROUSLY, APP
preached the railway line running
northward from Bucharest to PlOech-
ii, causing the Roumanians to evacu-
ate their positions north of Sinaia, the
war office announced.
South of Bucharest the Teutonlc
troops have captured other towns
along the River Alt.
The capture of Ploechti, on the rail-
way running north from Bucharest,
cuts the main line of retreat for the
Roumanian armies operating in the
Bucharest region. The official state
ment does not indicate whether the
entry of the TeutOnic forces into Bu-
chareSt and PlOechti was Simultane-
Gus. The capture of Ploechti before
that of the capital would be far more
serious for the Roumanians.
The taking of Bucharest virtually
completes the conquest by the Teu-
tonic forces of the southern section OF
the ROumanian kingdom, embracing
territory of over $4,000 square miles.

CAVERN in CRATER
VoYAcERS TELL OF PENETRAl-
ING MYSTERIOUS DEPTHS
Beauties Of Strange Amphitneate'
Their Reward for Perilous jour-
ney-Like a Glimpse Into
Another World.

Late forenoon found US heading
down-coast in our large dory toward
q cavern called Furna de Fernao
Jorge. in an unsubmerged portion OF
a crater ring whose seward side mao
been broken away by storms, writes
Charles Wellington Furlsng in Har-
per's Magazine. We rowed into TINS
great amphitheater, which had once
vomited forth a hell of fire and then
sucked in the waters of the Atlantic.
An ever-falling curtain OF water
from the caves Of the great semi
domed cavern ahead screened the
mysterious darkness beyond. Through
this shower shot the dory, bringing up
on a steep shelving cave floor OF large
water-rounded stones. From the arch
ing wall hung festoons of ferns, MOSES
and small plants grew, reeking in Wet
ness. Tiny olive green canaries fiicked
by and were lost in the verdure OF
darkness. The sputter OF Ervlng
bird gun, as he brought down two
specimens-the first of our collection
had an uncanny, smothered souno !;
one almost expected it's report to bring
the tremendous suspended mass crush
sng down upon us.
"The dory's adrift!"
The subtle surge had worked 1t from
the steep beach into the fast sweep
ing current. With a flying leap and
plunge John fortunately recovered 1t,
for the lonely cavern was no place TO
be marooned at high tide.
Father southwark, we again left the
Furna dos Enchareos-a colossal cash
in the side of Flores. At first we rowed
in the darkness of night. Then the
bases of the arching walls, like the
transparent water, took on peculiar
ultramarine-dayligh turned to snad-
ow and oxidized by nature. Cautious
" for 200 feet we felt our way into the
bowels of the great cliff. Here the
cave, narrowing, terminated in an IN
ner chamber. The dory softly heaved
to an uncanny, subtle undersea mo-
ton.
"Back water! Look there!' came
from the bow. From the inner cnam-
Der issued a peculiar rumbling; be-
fore the dory could be backed out or
the narrow corridor it became
xeething caldron. From it's center
geyser shot kissing into the darkness,
telescoped, then all was still. We war
lily reapproached this interesting phe-
nomenon, which, after few moments
quiescence, required again and again.
That inner chamber was a weird, I'M
,anny sight, an impression of direct
connection with another world.

LINER CALLED A TRANSPORT.
Germany Contends Submarine Com
mander Thought Arabia Had Troops.

Washington, Dec Germany, in a
note made public on Thursday by the
state department, contends that the
British steamer Arabia, sunk in the
Mediterranean November 6, was in
reality "a transport ship for troops in
the service of the British government,
which is to be considered as an aux
Hilary warship, according to interna-
tional law, and can, therefore, be treat
ed like a warship." The German gov
ernment's attitude, however, like that
in the Marina case, is expressed to be
one of readiness to make amends II it
be shown that the submarine COM
mander violated Germany's pledges to
the United States and made "regret-
able mistake"
1t may be said that the United States
does not regard the circumstances that
the German note recites as showing
justification for sinking the Arabia
without warning or as relieving the
submarine commander from establish
ing the status of the liner.

PEACE COURT { CLAUSE KEPT ! IN NAVAL BILL
tRepublIcan A. p. Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON, June 1.-An unsuc- cessful fight was led by Representative Gardner of Massachusetts against the section of the naval bill embracing the Hensley resolution authorizing par ticipation by the United States in the establishment of an international court for the enforcement of peace. The section was retained without a roll call in the house sitting as a commit tee of the whole.
 Pacificists, so-called little navy" men, and many advocates of general preparedness rallied to the support of the section. Speaker Clark took the floor and aroused enthusiasm by de- claring the section was the best feature Of the bill
 Advocates of greater preparedness than is provided by the naval bill as reported, won some victories during the day. They succeeded in obtaining appropriations not to exceed $6,000, 900 for enlarging the navy yards at Bos- ton, Portsmouth, Charleston, Philadel- phia, Norfolk, New Orleans, and Puget sound. Capital ships would be con- struCted at the Puget Sound, Norfolk, Philadelphia and Boston yards An amendment designed to lower the en- listment period in the navy from four tO three years and to permit man to enter the reserve after one years ser vice also was adopted.
 An unsuccessful fight was made for an appropriation totalling $1, 1,000 for the improvement of the Mare Island and Iroplr1Nn Navy Vor1
 The Hensley section of the bill would appropriate $2OO,OOO and provide for the appointment of nine men by the president at the close of the Euro pean war to enter into negotiations with other countries for the establish ment of an international court to en- force peace. H was placed in the bill as a compromise when it appeared that the opponents of greater navy would not support the committee measure
 Representative Gardner declared the plan could not be carried out and if the United States had been a party to such an agreement in 1914 congress would not have voted to send the countrys quota of 5OO,OOO men abroad to aid in the enforcement of peace.
