TRIBUTE TO AIRMEN.

London.-"The Chivalry OF the
Army" was the title bestowed upon
the British air forces by Premier
Lloyd George In a tribute he paid to
them in a recent speech in the house
of commons. The premier was NOV
ing vote of thanks to the British
armies and navy. OF the aviation SER
vice he said:
tFThe heavens are their battlefields,
they are the cavalry of the clouds.
High above the squalor and the mud,
so high in the armament that they are
not visible from earth. they fight out
the eternal issues of right and wrong.
Their struggles there by day and
night are like a Miltonic conflict be-
tween the winged hosts Of light and
darkness,
"They fight the foe high up and they
fight him low down, they skim like
swallows along the ground, attacking
armed men in their trenches. They
scatter infantry on the march and de-
stroy conveys. Every fight is ro-
nance, every record is an epic. They
are the knights Of the war, without
fear and without reproach. They re
call the old legend of chivalry, not
merely by the power of their individ-
ual exploits, but by the nobility OF
| their spirit, and among the multitude
| Of heroes we must continuously thank
| the chiyalry of the army"

ARGUES VEGETABLE DIET.

Manchester, England, - The ex-
perience Of the present war should re-
suit in the general adoption of the
meatless diet" says the annual pro
gram" adopted by the Vegetarian So
ciety of Great Britain. which has Just
closed its annual convention here.
In his presidential address, Profess
sor Ernest Bell spoke of the many
hundreds of millions OF men and wom-
en- who are now obtaining a living out
Of the slaughter of animals and fish.
and suggested that one Of the social
results of general adoption Of yege-
tarianisp would be that these people
would turn TO more humane and edi-
flying work" He added, AT time
like this, when food is most serious
problem, it is monstrous TO devote 81
pounds of dry grain to the production
of one pound of beef"
Bernard Shaw, in a letter TO the
convention, said that he had been a
vegetarian for 10 years. and spoke of
the meat diet as a relic of cannibal-
ism.

Market Square Sales
CHRISTMAS IN GERMANY.

Copenhagen.-Appeals for subscripJ,
tions to funds for the purchase OF
Christmas presents for the soldiers IN
the trenches are appearing in the Ger
man press. The Germans have learn
ed from experience to make an early
start In organizing this all-important
feature Of soldiers life. Many OF the
larger newspapers are conducting
special funds for Christmas and al
most every town is making suhscrip-
tons for its soldiers. Appeals Tor
funds have been issued by various
army corps
The presents which do so much 10
maintain the spirits of the soldiers IN
their dreary life at the front usually
consist of small Christmas boxes ior
the individual soldiers, containing
small articles OF comfort, necessity OF
amusement.
The value of this stimulant to the
morale Of the troops is so recognized
by the military authorities that snip
ments of gifts rank with munitions as
regards urgency of Transportation

DAILY MARKET QUOTATIONS.
CORN PRICES BENEFIT
BY KIND OF WEATHER

Chicago, Nov. 30.--UnfavorabIe
weather conditions gave a little
strength today 10 the corn market.
The fact, however, that empty cars
in liberal numbers were being sup
Piled TO western railroads, led after
ward to a reaction. Trade was al
most entirely Of local character.
Opening prices, which ranged from a C
OF 70 &C advance with January 1.21
TO l2114 and May 11sB to 1.19, were
followed by slight general gains ana
then a moderate downturn.
Subsequently, slowness of shipping
demand, together with the fact that
stocks have begun to accumulate,
brought about further sag in values.
The close was weak, lsc to 11sc net
lower, with January at 1203s and May
al li8h to 118A.
Larger receipts weakened the oats
market after some firmness at the
outset. Betterment Of the car situa-
ton attracted much notice.
Provisions gave way, owing to de-
clines IN the value Of hogs. DepTes-
sion was chiefly in lard.
