WITHDRAWAL 0F >..
 TROOPS WILL HELP
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 27.-Dr. Leo :. Rowe, secretary of the American Mexican joint commission, in d state ment tonight declared that the with drawal of American troops from Mex ican soil will serve to eradicate the feeling of distrust which now exists with reference to the ultimate pur- poses of the United States" and will strengthen the belief that the United States has no designs on the integrity of Mexican territory.
 The contention Of the Carranza government the statement says. has been that the presence of American troops on Mexican soil made it neces- sary, in order to satisfy Mexican popu- lation to use d large contingent of Mexican forces to watch the move ments of American troops. With the disappearance of this necessity, Mex lcan can. and must. give her undivided attention to the establishment of order in every section of the republic.
 The increase of banditr-r during the last six months is due, in large part to the fact that a considerable number of the peon class unable to find work ow- ing to the paralyzation of industry, turn to this means for the purpose of sustaining life. Untif therefore. con- ditions are established to reopen the mines, to restore normal conditions Tn agriculture and to resume industrial operations, we cannot expect any marked improvement in domestic con ditions. The officials of the constitu- tionalist government are fully aware of this necessity, as they are also aware of the fact that the United States now confidently expects of them a deter mined effort to meet the require ments"
 The agreement recently signed in Atlantic City. Dr. Rowe says, will pave the way for the settlement of other questions with Mexico in spirit of frank cordiality and close cooperation" Throughout the negotiations, he said, the American commissioners were an- imated by strong desire to be a real service to the mass of the Mexican people.

Wilkerson in which Jones alleges that Wilkerson charges him with responsibility for the axe murders" in Nillisca in 1912. Jo- seph Moore, one of the victims. was a business rival of Jones.
 Thomas Poston. Villisca, testified that the night Edward Landers said he thought he saw A. Y. Jones enter the Moore home. Landers was in a restaur- ant and that he did not go home until 10: 30 o'clock. Landers stated previous ly in the trial that he had gone home about D. m.

LONDON. Nov. sS-The Daily Man today makes a feature story of what it describes as highly authentic infor nation that the food situation in both Germany and Austria Hungary is more desperatc than had hitherto been gen erally believed This information is based on what IS claimed to be the ne- cosslty of the American officials in both countries to send urgent demands home for supplies of food The food supplies, it is said. are now arriving and are being placed in depots under the vigilant supervision of American officials. The newspaper says it's in- formant declares that the Americans in the past few weeks have reported to Washington that their ration tickets are useless, as there is little or no food ration in the nation and that the ac- ton of the AmericNn government in hastening food supplies to them is only interpreted in the light of showing that the American embassies and con- sulates now regard the food situation in Austria and Germany with the greatesis possible anxiety

 LONDON. Nov 2S.--Military critics here still cling staunchly to the hope that the Rumainians. notwithstanding latest serious developments for them will be able at least to avoid defeat and bring the invaders to a halt. It is remarked that the Rumanians. al though still retreating. preserve an unhroken front except at one non-vital point while the very moderate German claims regarding prisoners. guns and booty are surprising in view of the rapidity of their advance.
 The expectation now Is that the Ru- manians will fall back behird the Argachu. not risking a decisive battle until they reach that river. If they can consolidate there they may. it Is argued. hold the Germans and protect Bucharest. IL is recalled that Buch- arrest k defended by girdle of forts which were some defensive value thirty years ago, but which can no more keep the Germans out of the city than the Scheldt forts kept them out of Antwerp. Therefore the capitol can only be saved by operations in the field. Such operations. the critics claim. may even result in a Rumanian victory if the Rumanians have a re- serve army corresponding to the sixth French army which saved Paris from Von Kluck The Argechu and Alt rivers may then play the part to Ru mania, what the Marne and Aisne did for France in 1914
 .The Rumanian's greatest danger is considered to lie in the advance to the south by General Von Delmensingens Danube army which captured Alex andri1. Altogether the situation, all though difficult and likely to entail considerable sacrifices in part Of the defenders is held to be by no means desperate. Moreover, confidence is ex pressed that the Russians will soon be heard from

 BE MYTH; S0ME FIGURES GIVEN

The high cost of living" is the cry of practically every housewife in Phoenix. vet a comparison of figures from eastern cities, where market quo tations are supposedly much lower, fail to disclose such great difference in the prices Of staple articles.
 What is the reason TOT things being so much higher in Phoenix than in eastern cities?" is the question that every grocery clerk in Phoenix is called upon to answer many times each day.
 And to the casual observer food prices in this city are considerably larger than in the east This is due to the fact that practically all commod- ities here are sold by the pound. rather than by measure standards For ex- ample potatoes on the local market are quoted at S325 the hundred pounds, while in eastern cities they are selling at S2.25 the bushel IL must be remem- bered. however that a bushcl of pota- toes weigh but sixty pounds. There fore, the Phoenix housewife can pur- chase potatoes cheaper than the east rr0 women. On an even comparison in all commodities, the prices on all ar t.,les compare very favorable.
 tMarket figures from a city in Mich igan of about the same size as Phoenix are used in the comparison that fol- lOWs:1
