BOYS OVERSEAS NOT
TO GET ANY TURKEY

With the American Army in France,
Dec. 22.-The great bulk of the Amer
lean expeditionary force will not get
its expected Christmas dinner. The
submarine attack which forced the
ship which was carrying cranberries
to turn back, and through some I'M
known circumstances two ships which
were carrying the supplies Of turkey
left the United States SO late that it
was impossible for them to arrive in
France in time The turkeys which
already have arrived in the army zone
were left over from Thanksgiving and
will go an extremely short way.
The quartermaster's corps is busy
trying to procure a substitute. but the
army is really disappointed, for tur-
key at Christmas had been looked for
ward to by virtually every member OF
the command. The quartermaster had
made careful preparations, but his
calculations went wrong.
Now it appears that the principal
dish Of the day will be monkey tur-
key" which is ordinary canned corned
beef.

iSCENTING PROBE,
THEY FIX FOR IT

Washington. Dec. 22.-Redistribu-
ton Of shareholders Of the Chicago
Stock Yards company was begun as
soon as the managers got wind OF
the federal trade commissions coming
investigation.
It was brought In testimony before
the commission today that the same
day a federal investigator appeared
34,480 shares were divided into II
portions.
The object of the sudden transfer,
as It appeared from the testimony, was
to conceal real ownership, WHICH is
alleged to really be with the meat
packing concerns.
The day a federal agent walked into
the offices Of F. II. Prince & Co, in
Boston, the 34,4S0 shares were split
into one warrant for 1S,48o shares
and Is warrants for 1000 shares
each.
| Evidence also was introduced tt
show that the share warrants haf
been transferred a number Of times
Attorney Honey for the commits
sion, pointed out that there appeared
| two share warrants for the samt
amount, 1880 shares. 1t has beer
! established that one of these went t
Armour & Co. Mr.. Heney called at
tention to previous evidence referring
to the other packers, and said tn
evidence pointed very strongly to TIL
fact that Swift C Co. may have re
ceived the other block or that f. II
Prince was holding it for them. H
also called the commissions attention
to the fact that part of the Is war
rants for 1000 shares each may hay
gone to Morris G. Co.
