Two Million Pounds of
Turkey for N.Y.Dinner
Despite High Prices, Sales Are
Double Those of Thanks
giving, 1916

The dinner tables Of New York City
will creak to-day under the weight Of
about 100000 pounds Of turkey
fresh and cold storage.
This is not at all slender ration
for the holiday, according 70 p. Q.
Foy. market expert. II is a good deal
more than last year. when thousands
of families boycotted turkeys because
they we're retailed at the unprece-
dented price of 80 TO 40 cents a pound.
This year, operating under three food
administrations, the retail poultry
dealers charge as high as 80 cents d
pound for fresh killed turkeys. Three
years ago, the price ran from % TO 20
cents retail
Last year 100 carloads Of fresh tur-
KEYS were shipped into New York
CITY week before Thanksgiving
There were 10 cold-storage birds, and
New York City worried through with
less than 100000 pounds.
The food administrations of the city
fixed the maximum retail price for the
best quality cold-storage turkeys at 81
cents.
But this did not apply to fresh-killed
turkeys, which were scarce. so the
retail price rose from IS cents a week
ago to 45 and 80 cents a pound yester-
day. MANY families bought chickens,
geese and ducks. Goslings sold for 81
10 30 cents, retail, and ducklings at
80 20 55 cents a pound.
Mr.. Foy believes that somewhere
along the line of middlemen handling
the cold-storage turkeys there was a
ret loss of about > cents a pound on
every bird sold in New York City for

TRUSTING THE PRESS.

The presidents program of news
paper censorship legislation has been
defeated by the house. While the
News has upheld and approved every
act of the president so far in the
preparation and actual entry into the
war, we have differed with him on
this point Naturally, the press diff
fers with him on any proposition
which is intended not o My to curb
its usefulness to the public, but which
also, to a certain extent impugns
its good judgment and it's loyalty to
the country.
We can see no reason or necessity
for this press censorship. The news
papers can be trusted. They have
shown this on numberless occasions.
They have as much at stake as any
industry in the country. They will
win or lose as the country wins or
loses-and it is as much to their in
terest to protect the government and
10 withhold from publications matters
that should be withheld as it is to
the interest of the government to
withhold such publications.
Most of the general news regarding
the war is sent out by the great
news distributing agencies and these
agencies can be depended upon to ex-
ercise the utmost wisdom and discre-
ton in sending out news to the pa
pers which comprise their member
ship. So far as strictly local news
is concerned, the managing and city
editors understand fully what is prop
er to print and what is not, and the
newspapers generally have had in eff
feet since the outbreak of the wal
their own censorship regulations as
affecting their own columns.
So, we do not regret the action OF
the house in killing the censorship
proposition. Such action is strictly
in line with American ideas.

BET $50 AGAINST AUToCRACY.

That the hour is dark and the i'm
pending crisis full of terrors for the
American people is sensed by all in
telligent men who realize that only
by modifying the savings of the
masses to back the American army OF
democracy can we triumph, first over
our own fears, and second over Prus-
sian militarism.
No matter how all this came about,
we are in the war, either to achieve
a victory for democracy, or to go
down to defeat under the power OF
entrenched Central Europe, which
protects itself while it destroys the
worlds commerce with the subma-
rine.
The farmers Of Iowa and the work
ers of Pittsburg alike must know
that they cannot get out of paying,
either for victory or defeat now
They'll pay dearer for defeat under
an indemnity levied from Berlin by a
victorious Germany, in case England
is starved and isolated and France is
crushed.

THE PRICE OF PEACE.


We are in this war, and we can't
get out of it without getting beaten
badly or winning conclusively. 1t is
"a finished fgha.
When a nation goes into a finish
fight with the tremendously powerful
Central European Powers it means to
win or, losing, TO pay the war debts
Of a victorious Germany.
A nice mess we will be in should
the submarine starve out England,
should Russia conclude a separate
peace and release three million vet
Grams from the eastern front, and
should France, thus exposed, utterly
collapse. The Central Powers would
then release France and England and
our crushed trade only on condition
that the United States raise huge
levies as war indemnities to pay Ger
many's debts.
1t doesn't matter how this situation
came about The thing now to do is
to prevent a terrible misadventure
from overtaking us. Americans want
peace. We can have peace now only
in one of two ways, by victory or by
defeat.
We have to pay huge sums as the
price of peace We will pay these
sums to ourselves in the form of ma
tional loans, or we will pay them to
the Central Powers in the form of
war levies in case our allies are de-,
feated and our trade is posted for
only on Germany's terms.
When we start out to war with the
militarism of Germany. we
had better not start out empty-hand-
ed Every man, woman and child in
the United States has a formidable
enemy confronting him or her, a ruth
less enemy whose path we have
crossed, p train, efficient expert
enced, desperate and vastly powerful
enemy. 1t is going to take every dol
ar we can spare to defeat this
Dragon.
The American who desires to lie
down after having invited Germany
10 crush him will best do so by avoid
ing his obligation to subscribe to the
Liberty Loan.
In this way he can see to it that
our soldiers shall lack food, clothing,
equipment and ammunition to just
hat degree. In this way he can en-
sure the stagation of domestic indus
-ry and his own loss. In this way he
can undermine the prestige of the
United States and of government by
democracy for which this nation
stands.
What American wishes himself thus
None. 1t is the solemn duty
Of every man to invest $50 or $500
or $500 in a Liberty Loan bond, an
interest bearing gold bond, readily
bond, a first mortgage on
the United States, and to pay for it
out of his additional savings.
