KE0kUK CLOSES

Real Stuff Is Found on Tap
at Most of Them During
Recent Inspection

Keokuk, Nov. 20. The Keokuk city
council today revoked the licenses OF
fourteen Temp" barst here, following
a conference of city. county and state
officials. Notice was served on proprie-
tors that they must close at once, and
it was asserted, no new licenses would
be issued.
Revocation of the licenses, it was
stated, was resorted to "in an effort to
cope with continued violation of the
state liquor laws" which came to light
following an investigation conducted
here by operatives of the state depart
ment of justice. According to city OF.
ficials nearly all of the bars closed
were raided during the last two weeks
and in every case it was found that
liquor was being sold illegally. =.
The revocation of the licenses will
result in the loss of considerable OF
the city's revenue. Proprietors OF
temp" bars we're paying $75 month
for the privilege of operating, under an
ordinance passed by the city council
soon after the saloons were closed.

PRICE OF BUTTER
is GOING UP NEXT

Chicago, Nov. 20. There Is every
reason to believe that the price of but
ter will continue to rise, according to
a statement made today by c. E. Nc
Neill, president Of the Chicago Butter
and Egg board. Mr.. McNeill asserted
that the board price probably will be
fifty cents pound before the first OF
the year "if the orders continue to
come in as they are now"
"The storage houses were cleared
when this season began" he said, "and
the demand has been heavy War or

milk, and cheese are partly respons-
ible for the increased demand. l see
no indication of diminished demand. =
Inspectors of the U. S. department
Of justice began efforts to discover the
reason for the rising cost Of butter
with Investigations of the Chicago and
Elgin boards; it was learned today. Mr..
McNeill said he had supplied one in
spector with figures as to the amount
of butter in storage. This, he said, is
about 100000 pounds less than at
this time last year.

NOT
BEING WELCOMED

New York, Nov. 20. The United
States may become an "emigrant"
rather than an Immigrant" nation at
the close of the war, predicts Commits
sioner of immigration Frederick c.
Howe. He bases his belief on the
ground that the immigrant is not be-
ing treated justly. In an address last
night he said that those who opposed
immigration did so because they desir-
ed to limit the competition of unskil..
ed foreign laborers: those who favored
the wide open door did 80 because IL
made labor cheap.
The immi graft no longer went to the
farm. Mr.. Howe said, because all of the
available land of the country had been
taken up, hundreds of millions of acres
being held for purely speculative pur-
poses.
"The immigration problem never ex-
listed so long as the land was free for
the asking said Mr.. Howe. "And it
is this scarceness of land which makes
immigration an economic question
Commissioner Howe urged the crea-
ton of fund by congress to be loaned
to immigrants so that they may estab-
lish themselves on farms and asserted
that this was the only solution Of the
immigration problem.

BOMBS ARE FOUND
IN VESSELS CARGO

New York, Nov 20.-Twenty unex'
ploded bombs were found in the sugar
cargo OF the American steamship Sar-
MIA upon her arrival at Cherbourg,
France, after voyage starting from
New York on September 2, during
which the vessel caught fire from an
unknown cause, according to Fourth
Mate Wybrance of the Sarnia, who ar
rived here today on the American line
steamship New York from Liverpool.
Sugar made up the bulk of the car
goes Of the Sarnia and the barge
Avondale. which she had in tow upon
leaving New York The fire at sea
was extinguished without serious dam
age, Wybrance said, and the two ves-
sells put in at Havre to discharge part
of the cargo. 1t was not until they
reached Cherbourg that the sugar was
unloaded.
The Sarnia, before the war. was a
Hamburg-American steamship and
since being transferred to American
registry were. cleared from New York
by j. H Winchester & Co., shipping
brokers. and was owned by the Hud-
son Bay Co. The sugar was consigned
to the French government.

health, today began work of tracing
the itinerary of the Mexican laborer.
who brought typhus fever to Ft. Mad
ison, before his arrival here. One
death from the disease has occurred
and there are four patients suffering
from typhus in the local hospital. All
four probably will recover, it was
stated today.
According to Dr. Boyd, the Mexican
was taken ill at New Boston, and
walked to Ft. Madison, remaining in
the local Mexican colony for several
days before he became so i'll it was
necessary to send him to the hospital.
AS typhus is communicable only
through the bites Of vermin, it is be-
lieved there is little. danger OF contag-
ion from any source save the bunk
cars in which the Mexicans live, and
these together with their occupants
have been thoroughly fumigated.
An investigation was started today
to learn whether the Mexican came to
New Boston via Dodge City, Kan,
where typhus cases also were re-
ported and whether he made any pro-
longed stops en- route.

Driving too close to the right along
a high place in the road toward Agen-

thought that they will be able to re-

War Summary

The capture of Monastir by Cen
eral Sarrails army in Macedonia
is looked upon by entente military
writer's as of notable political i'm
portance but opinion appears to be
divided as to whether 1t will be
followed by military developments
of sweeping character.
Events of the next day or two
are expected to show whether the
pursuit Of the retreating German
Bulgarian forces is to be pressed.
In some quarters an advance by
the entente forces along the road
to Prilep is forecast to be followed
by a thrust from Prilep toward
Negotin on the Vardar, with the
object of outfanking the Bulgar-
ians and opening up the frontier
passes.
Following the demand by the
entente for the turning over OF
virtually all the arms, artillery
and munitions of the Greek army.
it is reported today in news
agency dispatch from Athens, that

SERBS GIVEN CREDIT.

London, Nov. 2O.-The Serbians are
given the lions share Of honor by the
morning papers In discussing the fall
of Monastir The capture of hill 1,212
by the Serbians and their rapid ad.
vance to hill 1873, threatening the
Bulgarians' only avenue Of retreat
along the Prilep road, is considered
the main factor in forcing the hasty
evacuation Of the city.
Military opinion insists that the al
lies must now advance toward Prilep
using Monastir as base, and from
there to Negotin on the Vardar. From
the latter town they claim that the
Bulgarian positions east of the Cerna
could be outflanked and the frontier
passes opened to the allied forces
which are now engaged northwest Of
Saloniki. The fall Of Monastir is con.
sidered as clearly showing the superb
ority of the allies over the German-Bul-
gar forces in view of the formidable
defenses which had been created
around the city.

SOMME THRUST IS
OVER SAY GERMANS
MILITARY CRITICS EXPRESS BE-
LIEF THAT ALLIES ARE ABOUT
WORN OUT.

Berlin, Nov. 20.-(By wireless to
Sayville)-The military critic of the
Overseas News agency writes:
"The greatest thrust on the Somme
has come to complete standstill. Last
week the general battle was split into
isolated attacks. The small local sue
cesses of the enemy could not be de-
veloped and for the most part were
nullified by counter attacks. The fact
that for several weeks the same vii
lagos have been mentioned again and
again in the official German reports
and those of the entente is the best
proof that the general battle on the
Somme has come to standstill and
that the British as well as the French
are limited to improving their posi-
tions.
Although the British won small To-
cal successes near Grandcourt and
the German were again driven from
Serre, the coveted heights of Serre re-
manned in German hands after des-
perate battle.
"Three fresh army corps were
brought up by the British for the great
attack Of November 1914, the objec-
tive Of which was not merely Beau
mont-Hamel and Beaucourt, but Ba-
paume, as is proved by orders that
were found. After the failure of the
mass thrusts isolated attacks were
continued by the British all through
the week. These were without sue
cess and on Saturday the British again
made 4 general attack on both sides
Of the Ancre. This new attempt to
break through our line was complete
failure. On the 12-kilometer front the
enemy was repulsed almost every
where and his Insignificant successes
at some places required the heaviest
sacrifices. Local successes at the bend
of the Ancre was paid for by the Brit
ish with losses elsewhere on the front.
The Butte de Warlencourt, hill
which bars the road to Bapaume which
was captured by the British on Novem-
ber IA, at the expense Of enormous sac
rifices, was recaptured by the Ger
mans Or the 10th. A surprise attack
was made by the Germans without ar
tillery preparation and the opposing
troops fled Only two non-commis-
stoned officers and seventeen men
could be captured. The prisoners bore
no arms. They were Australians who
were most weary of war, and they de-
clared that all the Australian troops
on the Somme front were kept up only
by the hope of speedy relief.
Isolated attacks by the French
were equally unsuccessful. Near ST.
Pierre Vast wood, French attack
broke down with heavy losses and
near Pressoire little was gained"
