 MISS RUTH LAW
[RepubIican A. P. Leased WIrel


 BINGHAMPTON. N. Y. Nov. l9.- Attempting a nonstop flight from Chicago to New York, Miss Ruth Law, in a currss biplane of the eSscout type. slfatutred long distance record for single flight today when she flew from Chicago to Hornell N. r.. a dis stance by railroad of about 660 miles, aettering by about 100 miles the rec ord made by Victor Carlstrom on No- vember .
 A delayed start, and a cross wind that cut down her speed and forced her to descend to replenish the gaso- line supply were responsible for her failure to reach New York city. Miss Law said after her arrival. at Bing- hamt0n this afternoon at 4:20 o'clock
 Previously Miss Law had never made a single flight longer than 25 miles. Her machine. a small biplane. has q spread of wings less than half that of the one Carlstrom used.
 Miss Law covered q distance of about 7S5 miles in six hours and fifty minutes. time being deducted for the descent at Hornell The first 662 miles the distance oY rail between Chicago and Hornell. was made without a stop
 Miss law had expected to start be- fore that hour but was delayed by experiments with the carburetor for an hour and half. Tn the time thus lost the aviaurix might have covered the remaining distance to New York.
 At the outset of her flight. a strong wind blew toward she east. Aided by this, she mace an average speed of 100 miles an hour at an altitude of about 6.000 feet. During the last 200 miles. before the stop at Hornell, a shap cross wind blew with the result that the gasoline tank was soon emp ty. She glided two miles into Hornell 1t 2.07 P. m.
 After replerishing her supply of gasoline Miss Law flew the remaining IF niles to Binghamton without mis- hap IIe:e darkness overlook her and she was forced 10 descend. She in- tends to continue to New York tomor- row morning. making the start at o'clock
 Miss Laws experience has been gained wholly in short exhibition flights. He. flight today was held un> der the auspices of the Aero Club oi America.

CHICAGO HEROESTA LAST
 SQUARE MEAL, START 0N DIET

improved by an intelligent diet.
 John Dill Robertson, health comms- sioiner, says he expects to feed the r for s20 d week, or at a trifle more than eight cents meal.
 The squad will weigh in at s.S0 o'clock tomorrow morning. Their weight will be carefully watched each day of the two weeks They will be given three carefully prepared meals each day and will be expected to do their regular work and will be permitted to drink only water between meals
 A big commission merchant, who admitted he had prcfited by high prices, today attributed the increase to the supine public. Tn former years, if a housewife was asked to pay 40 cents a pound for butter" he said. "she revolted and used cheaper sub stitute. This year she pays 50 cents.
 "1herein lies the secret of present high prices. There are liberal stocks of butter and eggs in cold storage. and the holders have made more money than they, ever expected to make. Still there is no way to mako them sell a product for 30 cents if they can get 50 cents for it and as long as buyers will pay the advanc- ing prices, the price is going up.
 "It has gotten to he u joke. A seller will offer a lot of butter or eggs at a certain price, feeling that no one will be foolish enough to pay that high. and the first thing he knows, his offerings are accepted"

BALTIMORE. Nov. 19-The Amer ican Federation of Labor entering to- morrow the second week of it's conven- tion will begin consideration of matters embodied in recommendations of the executive council and resolutions by delegates.
 Interest attached to the visit of the heads of the four railroad brotherhoods who are expected to address the con- vention tomorrow or Tuesday on the eight-hour law. The convention has adopted a recommendation of the fed eration executive council to oppose any proposition providing for compulsory investigation carrying with it compul- sory service. Three resolutions in favor of a universal eight-hour day are un- der consideration in committee and it is expected that one of them will be favorably reported.
 IL is understood a favorable report will be made by the resolutions com mittee tomorrow on a resolution in structing the federation executive coun- cil to take such steps as may be neces- sary to obtain from the United States authority Ito the end that the printing industry may be rescued from the clutches of the conspiracies which are successfully manipulated"
 A resolution has been brought to the convention from the Illinois State Fed eration of Labor which sets forth that conditions in all warning countries have resulted in filling trades, hitherto sup piled by men workers only, with enor- nous numbers of underpaid women, unorganized and voteless."

John Bull Likes Having His Food Supply Regulated
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

LONDON. Nov. 19.-No other gov ernment action in Great Britain during the war has commanded such immedi- ate and almost unanimous support as has the decision to control food sup plies and prices. Virtually the entire press welcomes the scheme. Almost the only criticism expressed is that the authorities should have taken charge of the nations food supply long ago.
 The difficulties of handling such a vast and complicated problem in a country unused to paternalistic meth ods are not under estimated.
 Arrangements are being made be- tween the board of trade and the board of agriculture for controlling the price of stocks. The distribution of the most important commodities, corn. meat and potatoes is already partly regulated, as also is that of sugar.
 The most probable appointment to the position of food controller is con sidered to be Sir George Saltmarsh, the governments chief adviser on corn supplies. or Baron Davenport, chair man of the port authority of London.
 One of the troublesome features of the situation is how to equalize mat ters between the rich and the poor. On the theory of "equality of sacrifice for all" which is a popular war watch word, the newspapers are making q sensation of luxurious menus in fash ionable restaurants and hotels. The limitation of restaurant meals to three courses is to be discussed Wednesday to devise economy
 To the casual observer there are no signs of food shortage The variety and quantity of eatables in the shops and restaurants appear undiminished, but the big markets tell a different story. It still is possible to get a good dinner or lunch in London cheaper than it could be obtained in New York be- fore the war. The poorer housekeepers who buy in small quantities feel the pinch. since the general retail prices average nearly 70 per cent higher
 The government has to deal on> the one hand with increased consumption due partly to the better scale of living practiced by a large section of the peo- pie getting unusual wages from war work. and, on the other hand. with de- creased imports and decreased home productions.
 In the meantime the workman s beer" remains almost sacred Notice has been given by a small group of members of the house of commons that they will press for prohibition of the manufacture of alcoholic beverages, but this has excited no popular response.

MONASTIk EVACUATED
 BY TEUTONIC ARMIES
 WHICH RETIRE NORTH

atlons must prevail over political The evacuation of Monastir will. in a way shift the operative difficulties from the Bulsar- German army to General Sarrails shoulders.
 The retirement of the Germans and Bulgars would have the effect of bringing the attacking forces away from their line of communication and into the almost roadless region of southwestern Macedonia. and the de- lending forces corrcspondingly nearer their base of communications. Mem hers of the general staff insist that the loss of MonastiT can be regarded as only of local importance and with out effect on the general strategitic situation.
 French Rejoice.
 PARIS, Nov. 13.-News of the occu- patton by French troops of the Sero- ian town of Monastir was received in Paris as one of the most important of the late developments in the war It came too late for general comment in the French press.
 The Temps points out that the auc- cess is likely to have a great influence on subsequent developments in the BalllSn campaign as the place com mands all the practical routes between the region says the admiralty.
 Tho fall of Monastir. the newspaper says. involves the early fall of Ochri- da twenty-five miles northwest and tho region of the Macedonian lakes and assures an effective junction of the army at Salonilii ano the Italian troops operating in Albania.

 The Serbs. supported by French guns and 9 contingent of French in fantry. for ten days maintained an unceasing offensive, says the dispatch and although the enemy forces were continually reinforced. they were driv cn from position after position.
 The Serbian-FTench successes on the left bank of the Gerna river con- tinues the dispatch. gave the allies such an advantagcous position that the eremy was obliged to abandon the Kendall line, although 1t proved al most invulnerahie to frontal attack.

BERLIN, Ncv. IS, (via London. Nov. 19)-Rumania's failure to withstand the Austro-German offensive in Tran sNivania is to De ascribed, according to Joseph Wirth. correspondent of the LoiSal Afzciger. principally to the lack of high trajectory and amount in ar tillerv and to inferior leadership.
 The subsidiary cause the corres- pondent says, are the lack of barbed wire for entanglements the adherence to old style Russian trenches that cave-n on the arrival of the first she'll and the lack of equipment for many of the troops as well as tele- phone material, and aviators. The cor, respondent continues "The Ruman- ians have not even adopted the al most universal transportative kitchen wagons but still carry food to the troops at the front in cans loaded on lumf ering wagons
 The Rumanians fight far better when defending their own territory than when on offensive. They looked for short, decisive campaign and were unprepared for a long fight

ParraI Americans Safe

CHIHUAHUA CITY. Nov. 19-Ac- cording to a report received here. the Americans in the Parral district left that place on the advice of General Luis Herrera two days before the evac- uation of the town by the CarranZa garrison. The Americans are said to have left for the mountains.
 From a source believed to be re- liable, it is learned that Edgar Rock, a German subject whose fate has caused anxiety to his friends arrived in Santa Rosalia from Parral october 26 with 57 bars of silver Both Rock and his silver fell into the hands of the bandit leader Julio Acosta when the town was seized the following day. Rock, however, was set free after be- ing robbed of his treasure, the report says. At the end of four days, he is said to have left for JimineZ in the company of two Mexicans.

Villa bandits. The gypsies were be- lieved to be of Syrian origin. All foreigners that Villa has caught except the Japanese and Germans have been put to death, the reports agree, and even the Germans are said to have suffered at least in the instance of Theodore Hoemuller of Parral, who married a Mexican woman. Various reports of Hoemuller's death have been received here during the past week.
 The Chinese are called the heaviest sufferers. The fact that none are to be seen in the district in which they formerly did a large mercantile bus mess is taken by the refugees as proof that all, numbering over 200 met the fate of the Chinese caught at Parral and JimineZ.
