GREECE DELAYED PLAN
ATTITUDE OF ATHENS NULL.

Allies Sought to Cut OF Germany's
Supplies Of Men From
Turkey.

M s - Us q 81
London, Nov. Is. Operations in the
Roumanian theater of war for the
time being must be regarded as OF
merely local Importance, according to
the petrograd correspondent Of the
Morning Post. The correspo
writes: N
..The allies whole plan OF campaign
in this quarter fell through as soon as
1t became evident that the forces at
Saloniki were unable to devote their
undivided attention to their task owing
ITO che attitude of Greece. b
Pas IF the adhesion Of the Roumanians
had been accompanied by similar &C.
ton by Greece which 1t Is believed
here could have been brought about
by the use Of couple ofwarships at
the proper moment matters would
now be very different and joint action
from Saloniki and the Dobrudja would
by now have cut or Germany's sup
plies of men from Turkey. The Turks
nave always been among the finest
war material In the world and under
German sergeants they must be con-
sidered extremely formidable. Greece
has been allowed to prevent the allied
scheme for cutting off Germany, or at
any rate to postpone the scheme for
another year" 3.s h

THE HOUSE WILL SUPPORT
WILSON.

! t i . q
The next House may be practically
i tie, but that will not seriously EN-
barass the Wilson administration
The Wilson policies are so just that
they will continue to command the
support Of country loving republi-
cans.
Every policy of the Wilson Admin
istration thus far enacted into law
has had Republican support in Con-
gress
Nine Republicans in the House yot-
led for the Underwood tariff; As
Republicans voted for the Banking
4 and Currency Act; Sc Republicans
voted for the CLAYTON Anti7T Trust Act;
"a Republicans voted for the Panama
ship-Subsidy Tolls Repeal, LOS Re
publicans voted for the Rural Credits
Act; Il Republicans voted for the Ship
Purchase Act;13o Republicans voted
for the Workmens Compensation
Act; and 1Os Republicans voted for
the War Revenue Act. The Philippine
sBill, like the Army and Navy Appro-
priation Bills, providing hundreds Of
millions for national defense, was
passed practically BY acclamation.
In the Senate there was similar Re-
publican approval Of every one Of
these measures.

TURKEYS BRING HIGH PRICES

New York, Nov. 15.Unless the
poultry dealers unexpectedly reduce
their present prices, only plutocrats
will celebrate" Thanksgiving with the
gobbler this year. The price Of the
festive bird to the ultimate consumer
is now "a or IS cents a pound. Retail
and commission men could offer moth
ing more reassuring than the hope
that they will not have to charge more
than this next week. Moreover, the
quality Of the turkeys now on the
market Is generally poor, though some
Of the dealers said that the real
Thanksgiving shipments have not yet
commenced.

THE LATE A. B. STICKNEY'S
TRANSPORTATION VIEWS.

The late A. B. Stickney had con.
structive mind and clear vision Of
the rights Of property and human.
|ity. He linked together Chicago, st
Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha with
lines Of steel, and won q place in
railway history by the views he ad-
vanced int volume entitled: The I.i.e
Railway Problem.
|s Mr. stickney had checkered ca
Ereer asga railway man, because he
Hooked on the side Of the shipper as
well al upon the railroads side q
every transportation problem: Fit
teen oil twenty sears ago railway
mana ers considered TRANSPORTATION
service THE same as commodity,
the same as their rolling stock. They
claimed the right to sell 1t at either
wholesale or retail, just the same as
merchant might sell his goods, or
a farmer his products.
Mr.. stickney contended that trans
portation being an indispensable ser
vice, like the service Of government,
charges for its support should be re-
garded as in the nature of a tax. and
should be invariably the same to all
consumers. He denied the right Of
railways to make wholesale and re-
tail prices-to charge the shipper of
a trainload lower rate than the
shipper Of carload. So far as can
be recalled by an Industrious reader
of the literature of the subject he
was the first actual director Of a
railroad so to hold.
Quite possibly he did not find it
practicable always to stick to his
idea. Some tales so indicate. New
ertheless, Mr.. stickney's idea is now
generally accepted, in fact If not in
form, and has been virtually enacted
into law. The historian Of the de-
velopment of railroading principles
will have to take note Of Alpheus B.
Stickney as a man who thought
things through as his contemporaries
did not, and whose thinking was
proved accurate by the event.

WHAT WILSON TOLD WALL
STREET BEFORE ELECTION. I

The Friday evening before the cleo
eion President Wilson attended a
business mems luncheon, held in the
ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria ho-
tel in New York city. On that occa-
sion he made, what in our judgment,
was the greatest speech of the cam
paign.
Standing near the shadows of its
great buildings, the President of the
United States told Wall Street that
as the threads of control were now
distributed, it was too small to run
Americas business He said that
the nations policies must be rested
upon human souls and the welfare of
mankind, rather than upon sordid
gain.
The entire speech fills more than
a newspaper page. Here is a sample
extract:
II have been told again and again
that 1t was a mistake for me not to
call into council in public affairs the
men who constitute what we have
agreed to call Wall Street have
again and again said this:
3If they would come in spirit 0!
cooperation they would be more than
welcome. But they always come in a
spirit of resistance, not only, but ad-
yising attentions in the plans which
would defeat the plans. am speak
ing by the book; this is not generals
zation. They have subtle genius
for proposing seemingly immaterial
changes which would eventually lead
to the defeat Of the main objects OF
the legislation proposed. 10 you Won-
der that l do not call them into con-
sultation9 And yet ! tell you again
that they will be welcome the mo-
ment they come to cooperate, and
they will NOT be welcome until then. ?

VERDUN.

On the night Of the LIST and End Of
this month the Germans gave up
vaux, the last fort held by them at
Verdun. The capture Of this bull
wark cost the Crown Prince 10000
men. The evacuation was decided
upon because the destructive artillery
u fire Of the French caused sacrifices
4 out OF proportion to the value Of the
tort.
v With the fall Of Fort Vaux virtually
all Of the ground gained by the Crown
Prince In this greatest of battles has
been lost. All Of the defenses Of
the stronghold are again in the p,s-
session Of the French.
On the 9Th of last March, when
the battle Of Verdun was at its blood
lest stage, we said in this column:
The statement that the Ger
mans intend to stake their all
upon the result Of the battle of
Yerdun seems quite probable.
Their great drive at this French
stronghold may succeed, but at
\ this writing the chances are
against them.
And again on the 10th of last March
this paper said:
While the battle Of Verdun is
not yet ended, the capture Of the
French stronghold by the army
i of the Crown Prince seems like
very remote contingency.
When these quoted extracts were
written there was little in the results
of the fighting to warrant the predic-
ton that the Crown Prince would
fail but there was much in the his
toric stories which the writer learn
led at his mothers knee.
He called to mind the story Of
the conquest of Europe by the Asias-
tic Hun; how that most ferocious Of
3 all barberous tribes crossed the
Ural and Volga rivers into Europe
in the year 374; how during the n
years following that invasion the
Huns, by sheer force of barbarian
pressure, overran nearly all of Flu
rope: how in the year 451, Attila,
4he Hun, marshalled his hordes in
the vicinity Of verdun; how he was
oyerthrown on that historic ground,
1 its natural defenses proving impreg-
nable;; how the Huns went back af-
ter that defeat; how it was the be-
ginning OF the end Of their conquest
\ 81 Europe, That battle is known IN
I history as the battle of Chalons. IT
s, was named after little city by that
name "a few miles west OF Verdun.
Then, again, the defeats OF the
english, in the vicinity OF Verdun,
dnring the years 1880 and 14s4 were
s called to mind. We knew that
France had maintained its national
