 TAKE TO AEROPLANES

KEEL, Germany, Dec. 2.-Orni- biologists have discovered that the wild fowls do not like the aerOplane, apparently taking it for some huge bird of prey. From the north sea coast of Schleswig- -Honstein it is re- ported that the great fiocks of ducks which in previous years stopped for rest and food on the coastal sands and islands on their flight from the Far North to the south, have avoided that region this year. The eXplana- tion offered is that they were fright ened away by the many aeroplanes that are constantly scouting along the coast

LONDON, Dec. 2.--The capture of Giurgiu by the Teutons under Gen. eral von Mackensen shows the Teu- tons have advanced thirty miles in a single day Much anxiety is express ed here over the fate of Rumania, and the question is seriously considered as to whether or not the entrance of Rumania into the war aided the AL lies, or whether the Teutonic victories in Rumania were due to the lack of unified strategy on the part of the Al lies. It is hoped that General Sak- haroff. the Russian commander TO- gently dispatched to the Rumanlan front, will retrieve the situation, and institute a campaign in Dobrudja to retake the captured positions.

 BEFORE THE FIRST OF YEAR

CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-There is every reason to belive that the price of butter will continue to rise, c. E. McNiel, president of the Chicago but ter and egg board, declared today. MT. McNiel asserted that the board price probably would be 50 cents a pound before the first of the year 'if orders continue to come in as they are now"
 "The storage houses were cleared when this season began" he said, and the demand has been heavy. War orders for butter itself, for con densed milk and cheese are partly responsible for the increased demand.
 'I see no indication of diminish ed demand"
