Richard G. Wagner.

England has notified the state de-
partment that it will take the steam
ers Hooking and Genessee of the
American Transatlantic Company to
London for prize court adjudication.
Richard G. Wagner, president and
majority stakeholder in the company,
insists that only American capital is
invested, and is protesting vigorously
at the action of the British govern
ment. Mr.. Wagner was born in Mil
waukee on March 80, 1862. He made a
fortune in the beet sugar industry in
Wisconsin and recently decided to go
into the shipping business because of
tie large profits to be made. He now
says his company will be forced into
bankruptcy unless properly REIN
bursed for these seized ships.

THE PuPPET GROWN"
At ALCAZAR MONDAY

Jesse l.. Lasky presents Ina Calire
in The Puppet Crown" with Carlyle
Blackwell An elaborate perturbation
of Harold McGrath's romance. Syn
opsis:
The Puppet Crown" is the second
OF the Harold McGrath romances to be
picturized by the Lasky Feature Play
Co. Apart from this, the production is
notable in that Ina Claire makes her
second film appearance in this offering
and Carlyle Blackwell who plays the
leading male role, makes, in this piece,
his debut under Lasky direction.
Most of the events of THE Puppet
Crown transpire in the little Euro
pean kingdom of Osia, where the inva-
id King is at the mercy of his Chan
cellor, who is plotting to dethrone him
and set up the Duchess Sylvia as ruler
in his stead. The daughter of the
King has, while incognito at an Amer
lean school, fallen in love with a rich
young American, and when matters
reach a desperate condition, the young
fellow strives to uphold the lettering
fate of the King, even though he knows
that if the Princess rules she can
never marry him.
In the end the Princess loses her
throne, but she wins the man she
loves, and therefore the tragedy of
revolution becomes ultimate happiness
for both heroine and hero. ID ont fan

Food Prices Are Highest In
80 Years Except Very Slight
Increases During Three Years

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. l.
Food prices in the United States dur
ing the year 1914 were higher than at
any time during the last 80 years
with the exception of the years 1882
when they were per cent higher than
1914 prices, 1883 when they were on
the same level and in 1912 when they
were / per cent higher. The Bureau
Of Labor Statistics in it's annual bull
letin just issued on wholesale prices
of commodities reviewing the years
from 1860 to 1914 discloses that in
the So years food prices were highest
in 1864 when they were rs per cent
more than 1914 prices and lowest in
1896 when they were 40 per cent be-
low.
In the years of the Civil War and
during a dozen years or more after
ward prices of all commodities were
the highest since 1860 when the first
attempt was made at keeping rec
ord of wholesale prices. In 1864
prices of most commodities reached
their highest point. Lowest prices
were recorded in the years from 1894
to 1898.
The effect of the European war on
Wholesale prices in the United States
is not fully disclosed in the report as
prices for only the first five months
Of the war are recorded. Comparison
OF Civil War prices with those pre-
Nailing in this country during the
European war therefore is not posi-
lie. The Spanish-American War ap.
LGrently had little effect on whole
sale pii1es as they remained on about
the same level as they had been in
the period Immediately preceding it.
Farm products prices in 1914 were
higher than they had been in the last
IA years. AS with food prices their
highest point was reached in 1864

Aboard
For .Bagdad"/
Cries Germf

IN THE ARGoNNES, Franco Jan.
1.-"All Aboard for Bagdad." Such
was the humorous suggestion of a.
sprightly German officer as the tiny
engine on the Argonnes railway
whistles for its departure.
From the Argonnes to Bagdad is
quite a stretch, even for the imagina-
ton, and yet, though the seemingly
impossible construction of a railroad
through the French mountains, the
Germans have in fact established a
connection, more or Less direct, but
nevertheless unbroken from the
trenches at the front in the west to
the Asiatic city of their Turkish ally.
To build the Argonnes railway the
Germans went to an abandoned
French mine, and from depth of
some 800 meters resurEected miles of
trackage which at no end of care anu
trouble has been laid on the surface,
over land so swampy and difficult that
the first train came to grief simply
through sinking into the ground.
Thus far two main lines have been
constructed-the one 95 centimeters
wide (37 inches) and the other Is
meters wide (3S.5 inches. On the sec
ton nearest the actual front, benzol
engines are used, because of their
comparative noiselessness. Farther
away from the trenches tiny steam
engines draw the diminutive trains.
The engines have an approximate
capacity of four cars-better perhaps,
the rails and roadbed can stand that
much weight without disappearing
from view-and are busy every hour
of the "a in the transportation of
troopc, supplies, ammunition and,
when possible, wounded
Automobiles which have come to
grief On the terrible roads of the Ar
gonnes have been rebuilt, and have
been equipped with 81 or 3S.5 gauge
wheels of steel in order that they
may serve as cars de luxe" for Of
fcers who have to travel from one
point to another behind the front. The
sight Of officers lolling back in dis
mantled machines towred by diminu-
tive locomotives invariably provokes,
first merriment, and then admiration
for the system that has literally made
something out of nothing and has
found way to overcome the difficult
SACo VI JlAC dlI1OSI LlupOoSlDlS
mes roads.
These difficulties have been enorm-
Gus. Rainy weather has been the rule
rather than the exception in the Ar
gcnnes for months, and it has been a
gigantic task to keep the roads-rut-
ted by supply trains and ammunition
columns and artillery-from degener-
ating into mere boys. The task of
maintaining regular and workable
communications with the extreme
front has been intellectually hard.

NOT To WARN AGAINST
"uP-k|sS|NG" HERE

SAVANNAH, Ga, Jan. There
will be no official reiteration here of
the warning recently issued by the
Richmond Health Department against
"lip-kissing, liquor drinking and cold
feet"
Citizens of the city were cautioned
against these things as being agencies
calculated to spread and develop in
fuenza and pneumonia. Oscillation,
tipping and cold feet may be conduc-
tive to certain ills, not to say perils,
but Savannah officials believe they
can dispense equally valuable advice
that will be more fully observed than
warnings such as Richmond has set
before the people.
Incidentally, it has been found diff
flault to explain the widespread pre-
valence of grip and pneumonia during
the preesnt season. Ills of this nature
have been much more prevalent every
where than in previous years, with
cut any apparent cause for the excess
number of cases.

LONDON, Oct. 30.-Falken-
hayn's army has been thrown
back more than three miles by
the Rumanians in a battle north
of Campolung, said a Petrograd
dispatch today.
The battle is continuing. The
Teutons have been reinforced and
are desperately eounter-attacking
seeking to regain the lost ground.
Other strong Autsro- German
forces are attacking northwest of
Campolung.
At nearly every point on the
Pennsylvania border the Autro-
German invasion seems to have
been blocked.
The latest official statements
from Vienna and Berlin claim
some further progress but appar-
emily bear out Bucharest claims
that Falkenhayn's offensive has
been stopped at least temporarily.
On the northern front, the
Teutons are everywhere being
swept back against the Transyl-
vania border and at some places
have been driven across the from
