Big Cherry Crop;
Pickers Are Ecu

One Of the largest cherry crops ir
years is loading the trees of the county
and central Iowa this year. The price,
in spite Of the size Of the crop, stays
high considering the abundance Of the
fruit, chiefly because Of the scarcity Of
pickers. The price continues to range
around $3.50 bushel for the Early
Richmonds, the first of the local varies
ties to ripen.
Because OF the trouble in getting
pickers it is not at all improbable that
a great many of the cherries will be
eaten by the birds or stay on the trees
until they rot. Some growers have
been selling their cherries at fixed
price per tree, letting the purchaser
pick the crop. Others, and these are
a great many, are offering pickers half
of the crop for picking. The recent
clear warm days have caused the cher
ries to ripen rapidly and most of the
crop is dead ripe now and must be
picked in a few days to be saved.

 The statement says:
 The enemys airplanes showed more activity in attacking our bombing and low flying machines. During the night a short spell of fine weather enabled our machines to continue their bombing of the enemy's railway stations.

LWAUKEE POLICE
 MAKE NO HEADWAY
 IN BOMB TRAGEDY
Identity of Person Who Placed Deadly Machine in Italian Church Is Still
 Unknown

Milwaukee, November 25 Twenty-four hours of vigor- ous investigation by every
 governmental agency has failed to disclose a particle |of information as to the identity of the person who was responsible for the ex- |plosion of a bomb which killed II persons in police headquarters here last night.
 Twenty-Five Italians are under ar
 rest, including Guissepi Masuinni, the Italian who carried the bomb from the basement of the Italian Evangeletica1
 church to the police station, but nc action has been taken by the police
 as the result of the questioning which the prisoners underwent today. The fact that the bomb had been
 placed in the basement of the church
 and timed. apparently, to explode when
 the church could be presumed to be
 crowded and that considerable enmity
 existed between the Rev. August Gull
 iano, pastor of the church, and some
 unidentified persons, has caused the po 1 lice to look to that quarter for a key to the mystery.
 Captain of Detectives Sullivan declared today that he believed the bomb was planted by persons whose desire it is to break up the religious work which the Rev. Guiliano Is conducting among the Italians As a reason for that be- lief. he points out that since the Bay 1 View riot, several Sundays ago, when
 religious meeting conducted by the
 pastor was broken up and several de. tectives killed, members of Guiliano,s congregation have been alienated from him, mostly by violence.
 The casualties which resulted from the explosion remained at Il dead and two l injured, no other bodies having been found when the demolished room in DO 1 lice headquarters was searched thor loughly. Many grewsome sights con fronted the searchers and great crowds of curious persons stood outside the building anxious to glimpse the scene | Bomb experts have gathered what evil idence there Is available as to the con

Little else except the gaining of this town and of the wood had had place in the strategy of the Brit ish commander in chief since his dash of last week placed his forces west and southwest of Cambrai virtually upon the threshold of the town. Ever since the initial attack the Germans had tenaciously disputed every inch of ground, realizing that with the fall of Bourbon and the wooded heights their tenure of Cambrai would be se- riously menaced. Several times pre- yiously the British had gained foot holds in both the town and the wood but each time, under vicious counter attacks, were compelled to relinquish them.
 GERMANS FIGHT DESPERATELY
 The northeasterly portion of the wood apparently now is the sole re- taaining part of it that is still in Ger man hands and, beiEs cr1iy ak9ut three and 8 half miles distant from Cam brai, the Germans are doing their ut most to hold it, and even to drive back the British. who have gained Q footing there.
 Since the beginning of the battle of Cambrai the British war office reports have been extremely meager with de : tails of the fighting and the latest communication gives no hint of the proposed intentions of General Byng after the conquest of Bourbon and Bourbon wood has been made secure Apparently, however, with these stra- teSic points safely in his hands, it is not unreasonable to surmise that, hav- ing had several days in which to draw up his guns and refine his forces, Byng will almost immediately strike again in an endeavor to capture Cambrai.

overcome the success of the French troops last week northwest of Rheims, where the gradual incursions into the German line are threatening Laon. Here the Germans again have made the violent attacks but their efforts brought them as has been the rule re gently, nothing more than repulse and the additional loss of numerous men. Similarly in the region of Verdun the Germans have been worsted in attacks against General Petain's front. ITALIANS ARE HOLDING Tn the Italian theatre the troops of General Diaz are more than holding their own against the savage attacks of the Austro- Germans from the region of Lake Garda eastward to the upper reaches of the Place river. After last weeks severe repulses with heavy cas- ualties the invaders have switched their main offensive to the Asiago plateau sector, but here also they have been | held by the Italians without the gain of 8 yard of ground.
 Attack has been met with counter at tack and in addition to inflicting heavy casualties the Italians also have cap tured two machine gun batteries.
 PIAvE RIVER LINE The fighting along the Piave river
 
 has been sporadic but at one place where the enemy attempted to cross 1 the river on pontoons he was wiped out 1 by the fire of the defending artillery. For the first time in several weeks | there has been activity on the north | ern- Russian front and notwithstanding the uncertain political conditions in Pet rograd and other parts of the country the Russians are holding their positions against the Germans. Near Jacobstadt the German artillery opened a strong bombardment against the Russians, who replied in turn. To the south and also on the Rumanian front there has been a revival of activity, both from the trenches and in the nature ok scout , ing reconnaissances.
