Coincident with the Hoover sppeal

ters because they are plentiful and in
expensive" the railroads, deciding that
the food administrators pet was an
unnecessary luxury" placed a partial
embargo upon it. On top OF that the
Maurice river, in southern New Jersey,
the Delaware oyster beds near Bowers
Beach, and the Chesapeake oyster beds
are frozen over for the first time in flf-
teen years. II is from these fields that
Wilmington derives its supply Be-
cause Of this combination Of clrcum-
stances the humble oyster has stood
by the railroads and IS justifying their
decision that it is a luxury.
Today oysters which heretofore have
sold for s. 80 and Sc a thousand are
commanding SIS and SIC in the whole
sale market, while CLAIMS can hardly be
obtained at any price.
oysters are selling from so to IS cents
a quart in this city, and have been for
two or three weeks.
II was not until last Saturday, after
q period Of Two weeks that the rail-
road embargo was lifted, but by that
time more than a foot Of ice was ever

poss BILE.
Relief was in sight on Sunday when
the ice-noes broke, but late Sunday
night they froze up again.
Oyster dealers agree that there Is no
relief IN sight. "All we can DO is to wait
for the Ice to melt" said one OF them
yesterday.
Notwithstanding the scarcity OF oys-
ters, the restaurants have made no fur
ther advance in the price Of fried oys-
ters or oyster stews.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-The Allies
are maintaining an expectant attitude
on the western front. Secretary Baker
stated yesterday IN his weekly war re-
view. while recent events in Russia
have greatly increased strategic free

hitherto chiefly Of an offensive char
acter and are now prepared for every

The recent events in Russia, which
have removed from the theatre Of ac-
tive operations more than 800 miles Of
front in the east. the invasion Of Italy
and the consequent shortening Of the
battle line In this zone by nearly 100
miles have resulted In greatly increased
strategic freedom for the Central en-
pires
Reviewing the minor operations
which took place during the period
under examination 1t is noticeable that
ascendant initiative and alertness is
again displayed by the Allies.
