Also, due to the heights TO which the
cost of living has advanced, the piece

various charity organizations featured
dinners while the inmates of the
county Jail were thanking a steward
who provided turkey a delicacy which
probably would have been denied most
of them if free.
Probably as joyous n gathering as
any was the dinner given by "A daily

years. dealers asserted. A few firms
open this morning quoted prices 4
and 3 cents n pound below yesterdays

and the retail prices ranging from 2S
to 80 cents IA pound, with compare
lively few buyers Other fowl also
dropped in price. but the declines
were less sharp than those on turkeys
Reports indicated that number of
turkey rasers who shipped last week
when turkeys brought 80 cents n
pound in the wholesale market were
ordering their live birds back rather
than sell them at the low prices
Merchants said the crest of the de-
mand has been reached and attrib-
uted the slump to the disinclination
of dealers to carry the fowls over,
while many consumers asserted that
the activities of the various organiLa-
tions which have been urging house
wives not TO purchase turkeys at the
high prices were responsible

General f. =. Maurice, chief director
OF military operations at the war Of

that any further advance by the Ger

There is no use minimizing the fact
that the further advance of the Ger

as a step forward gives them the corn
districts, while a still further step
means their possession of the oil belts.
Russia is moving, however. and the
fact that the Rumanian army is still
intact is encouraging Even the Ger
man reports claim to have taken only
1900 men and few guns, which
means that my prediction of last week
that no more than the rear guard
would be captured, has been more

admitted responsibility for the mail
ing and the court mentioning this
said the serious controversy was on
the question of the nature of the
language.
Truth No Issue.
Judge Lambdin also told the jury
that the question of truth of the
articles themselves was not at issue.
The articles were attacks on the
Catholic church.
Interest today in the trial of Wat
son centered on the continuation OF
his statements to the jury, which he
began late yesterday.

Watson declared he had spent al
most a lifetime of study before writ

ments, the government declined this
offer. II was decided that each SIDE
would have two hours for argument.
