thoughts Of THANKSGIVING are already
lurking in the grocer's mind as he
orders in advance. The early frosts
have hurt the peppers, cucumbers and
tomatoes to some extent, and these are
getting scarce.
Cranberries are selling at about IA

The big pumpkins will not be good
until a heavier frost. What few can
taloupes are still on the market are
unusually good. The past eason has

licious fruit, as excellent quality has
prevailed turnout the summer. Wa

Sweet potatoes still rule the market

war on prices has been waged among
grocers in the city. Six pounds OF
sweet potatoes for a quarter was the
announcement that set the ball rolling.
Since the there have been all sorts OF
prices, varying from eleven pounds for

way down to six pounds. Irish pota-
toes are no cheaper, and baked sweet
potatoes, fried sweet potatoes. and
sweet potatoes in every other style are
being served in restaurants and homes.

girl. will gre very much to learn OF
a severe accident that befell her at
her home near Aberdeen, Wash. when
she was accidentally shot by a rifle

News of the accident was received this
morning by Edward White, 3O6 South
Fourth street.
The accident happened on the morn
ing of Sunday, Sept. 10, when Mr..
Foote was in the act of shooting a
chicken for dinner. The bullet, from IA
22-caliber rifle, struck a piece of steel
on a box. glanced and hit Mrs.
Foote in the groin. An artery was
severed, n it was with difficulty that
the young woman was kept from
bleeding to death. 1t was two and
one-half hours before a doctor could
be secured from town and the artery
lisatured. !Altho the injury was cry Sc
rious, there was no indication in the
word received by Mr.. White but that
it was expected Mrs. Foote would re-
cover. The case is unusually sad from
the fact that Mrs. Foote has a baby
daughter only 5 weeks old.
Mrs. Foote is the Youngest daugh-
ter of the late Mr.. n Mrs. John
Mooney. of this city. She has a broth
er. James, and a sister, Miss Georgia,

1.-THE GREATEST DIPLOMATIC
TRIUMPH"

There is never much difficulty fig
uring what the idea is in Colonel
Roosevelt's mind that he is trying
to convey, through his language, to
other minds. He is quite hand at
getting the idea over, and doing it
without much dilution.
Writing to Mr.. Secretary Lane,
who had opined that the note ex-
changes with Germany won for this
country the greatest diplomatic tri-
umph" of half century, the Colonel
somewhat differs. He makes OBJ
vious, in fact, that he thinks those
exchanges constituted about the big
gest diplomatic futility of all time;
q feeling in which most everybody
will agree and has long agreed with
him. In Mexico we have sacrificed
prestige and money, and murder still
goes on. In our relations with Ger
many, we have secured promises
that have been proved meaningless
by the fact that submarine murder
still thrives. Precisely what would
have happened If we had achieved a
diplomatic defeat instead of the
greatest triumph" is trifle diff
cult to imagine.

.hilation, agony unequaled in modern
history being the portion Of these
Reoples.
Generous efforts had furnished
much help even before the Presi-
Dental proclamation. But vastly
more Is needed. In the United States
there are about 100000 Armenians--
perhaps double that number Of
Syrians-and they have been sending
aid to their countrymen to the limit
Of their resources, per capita tax
of a minimum Of 81 per month hav-
ing been sent to national headquar-
tiers in New York for distribution
through the Red Cross and other
agencies which combine to forward
every contributed dollar without cost
to the points Of greatest need.
Former Ambassador Morgenthau
has declared fully 100000 is
needed. And the people Of the
United States are sure to respond
literally in the days now specially
appointed by President Wilson. The
people Of Washington will do their
full share.

a political issue Of the most diffi-
cult sort. 80.
There has been more liberality In
England than in any other major
country, about exemptions from
service. The exempted classes have
been studied, with the result that it
il recommended there be less gen.
erosity; hundreds Of thousands Of
the exempt could be forced into the
army.
Alongside this insistence upon
more soldiers, comes the recommen-
dation that women be more extern
sively used in the munitions fac
tories and in other industry. To
provide soldiers is worse than USE
less unless weapons and ammuni-
ton can be put in their hands,
clothes on their backs. The empire
is called upon for further and a
long step in the mobilization Of
every resource Of men, women, and
means, to the service Of the fighting
forces.
From Germany comes report Of
like conditions. Reserves are drawn
down to almost the vanishing point.
The losses in France, first in the
Verdun attacks, then on the Somme,
have been terrific; and Germany is
in poor posture to bear them; for
her enemies are more determined
than ever to keep her occupied on
all fronts at once. The new Russian
attack is looked upon as sign that
Russia cannot again be defeated by
the process of industrial exhaustion.
Apparently she is equipped to main
tain her supplies of arms and ammu-
milton indefinitely; and if so, her
problem Of man power need not
worry her. The new census of the
dominions showed a great increase
in population. Great regions have
had little as yet to remind them that
war is in progress.

THE ARMENIAN RELIEF MOVE
MENT

BY virtue Of proclamation issued
by President Wilson, October 81 and
20 have been designated "for the
giving of such contributions as the
people feel disposed for the aid Of
the stricken Syrian and Armenian
peoples" This proclamation was
prepared under express authority of
a special resolution passed by the
Senate and the House of Represent
atives near the close of the last
session, and this very unusual action
by Congress and the President
spffices to indicate the merit of the
cause.
All information reaching this
country, in press dispatches and in
the narrowing tales of arriving
Syrian and Armenian refugees,
shows beyond doubt that these two
races of Industrious and thrifty peo-
Piles are in actual peril of extinction.
Victims Of persecution and Of war,
the closest estimates already are that
nearly 100000 men, women, and
children have persisted, and each
day adds to the total. Thousands
have met death in it's most cruel
forms-eXile, starvation, rapine
murder combining to threaten ami

DETROIT. Oct 5.-The advance agent

Hughes women who are anti-suffrage
and the suffrage women who are for

Suffrage. women. headed by Mrs. Fred

that they were for Wilson. The women
who consented TO serve declined to go
to the train because they feared they

Charles p. Warren, contented them
selves with waiting for DR.. Katherine
