CONGRESS TO
 FACE DEMANDS
 FUR EMBARGO
Rapidly Soaring Cost of Living Is Being Kept In
 The LimeIight.

WASHINGTON, Nov 1.-The agi- tation for an embargo on shipment of food products and other necessities of life to foreign countries that has been kept up for the last several weeks, seems to be increasing as the session of congress which opens in December approaches. Added to the war senti- ment against the shipment of war sup. plies to the warning antions, is the rapidly soaring cost of living that the lawmakers will find harder to com bat.
 Volumes of petitions have been re- ceiYed by various representatives, it is said. insisting upon action in the matter This has resulted in the framing of bills which will presented to congress at the very beginning of the session. However, there is a question as to the degree to which the European war is responsible for the in crease in prices, but when congress faces the fact that wheat jumped from about so cents during the early months ot 1914 to SIPS per bushel in August, 1915. after the war had been in pro gress a year, it is thought that con gress will be forced to take action

New Arrival Tells
 Of Food Conditions

Miss Tatjana Yrrah, known as Der lin's most beautiful woman, who arriv. ed in the United States recently tells of food conditions in Germany. Ac- cording to the New York World Miss Yrrah says;
 "On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri. days, the eating of meat is prohibit ed,' said Miss Yrrah. "On Tuesdays and Thursdays meat may be eaten, but no other fats. On Saturdays and Sundays one may eat what he wish es, if he has the price.
 Chickens now cost s125 a pound and then it isn't good. because no but ter with which to cook it can be ob- tained on meat days. For my part ham is the best thing on the German menu now. That costs $2 a pound There is no dearth of duck, fish and vegetables"

ON RUSSIAN SHIP
 KILLED MANY
Destroys Another Steamer And Burns Several Build
 ings And Barracks.

STOCKHOLM, Nov, 1.-The Alton Tidnigen, a newspaper of wide cireu. lation published in the capital city of Sweden, says that after an inyestiga tion of the destruction of the Russian ammunition ship, Archangel. it has come to the conclusion that the ship met it's fate by an internal explosion of the ammunition, and which killed over enc hundred and fifty and w.onnd ing six hundred more. Besides the explosion was the cause that destroy ed another steamer that stood close by, besides the burning of several buildings along the harbor including two barracks.
 The statement of the Tidnigen seems to settle the belief that a Ger. man submarine has caused the ex- plosion.

ENGINEER REPORTS
 GERMANS ORDERED
 THEM TO "GET OUT"

Smith. Of Hartford Conn, ma rlaa engineer since 1881, who has just returned to New York from his last nip made on the British steamer Mid land, that was recently sunk by the Germans rep orted his experience ill part as follows
 T have been a marine engineer since 1881, but never have I gone through an ordeal like the one the German submarine put upon US a few weeks aso I was induced to sign as second engineer by assurance of good pay and by promise that the steamer was bound for China. Later I found that the ship was bound for Vladiyostok.
 After leaving the Siberian port we went 10 Australia, where we loaded grain for Havre At 6:30 D. m., Oct z1 we were halted by seven shots. None hit Us, but We found they had come from a submarine which had e9ae to the surface a few hundred ards away.
 We had a crew of 8, eight of us white men and the others Lascars. I @as the only American on board. We were ordered to the lifeboats, IS men going in one and F of US in another. We were ordered to approach the sub marine and the German commander farrEd us 10 come aboard. He put some q his crew into our boats and they went out to the Midland and sank her. Aftar four explosions we saw her dark tull roll over and go down.
 Tine Germans used only one Eng Iieh expression when they returned 70 the submarine after sinking the 3dland That was, Get out We Griltal throughout the night until at daybraak a French trawler picked us rp and kept us aboard for two days. Later t took us into St. Malo."

TAIL LIGHTS ON MULES.

Ludicrous as it may seem, necessity has demanded that a Los Angeles drover equip his mules with tail lights. Without being facetious, it may not be amiss to point out that the devices he employs are literally the first real tail lights ever used. Some time ago when a number of the mans mules were being driven along highway at night Q motor car plunged into the drove without disastrous results. This caus ed the dealer to resort to the warn- ing lights so as to avoid similar acci- dents in the future. The devices, which are identical with those used on many bicycles, are strapped to the mules tails.-Popular Mechanics.

TWO OPTIMISTIC
 VIEWS OF GREAT WAR
GENERAL FRENCH SAYS CLIMAX IS NEAR-GENERAL BRUSSlL-
 OFF SAYS WAR WON.

Two very optimistic views of the war from the point of view of the al lies have been given much promiE ence by the newspapers of "Old Lon don" recently. The first is a quota tion from a speech delivered by Field Marshal French, head of the British armies. The second is the declared opinion of Gen. Brissiloff, of the Rus sian armies. Gen. French is quoted thus:
 Tt seems that the contest is ap- preaching a climax to come either now or in the spring. We must remember however, that a climax and an end are not necessarily the same"
 Gen. Brussiloff said:
 "The war is won today. It is mere y a question of speculation as to how much longer it will be before the enc my is convinced that their cause is irretrieyably lost"
 The general added that he spoke with authority in declaring that the whole of Russia, from the emperor to the humblest soldier, was determined to protect, help and support Ruman- ia in every possible way
 Russia will see" he said. that our brave little ally does not suffer for espousing the cause of the allies"
