FRENCH CAVALRY PURSUING BULGARS BEYOND MONASTIR
GOING UP! EVERYTHING, FROM DILL PICKLES TO CORSETS
Father Discovers Son Can't Even Buy School Notebook for Old Price, and as for Shoes, Butter, Kerosene, Eggs, and Haircuts, It's Same Old Story and Same Old Salary.
By MIRIAM TEICHNER.
A certain New York father a few days ago handed his son a nickel for a notebook that son needed in school. Justas the certain New York father was struggling into his overcoat the son returned, breathless, from the corner store.
"I've got to have 3 cents more, Dad," panted son, "the man says 5-cent notebooks cost 8 cents now." And the certain New York father sighed and handed out another nickel.
Just then his wife appeared with several bundles in her arms. She was laughing and still she looked a bit indignant.
"Isn't this perfectly ridiculous?" she said. "I've just come from the little delicatessen store. You know those big dill pickles you like so much? Well, I asked the girl to wrap me up half a dozen and handed her a dime. They've always been three for five, you know. But the girl just laughed and said: 'You owe me 5 cents more. Pickles have gone up. We only give two for five now.' So there was an extra nickel gone for pickles."
The Certain New York Father sighed again. Just as he had his hand on the doorknob his wife stopped him. "Your laundry came last night, dear." she said. "I wondered if you noticed that collars had gone up from 2 cents to 2 1/2 and that shirts are up 16 cents instead of 12?" And the New York Father, although it was still early in the day, was reduced to a state of silent disgust and left the house without another word.
Car Rides Just Same.
Going down on the subway, he reflected that it was a bit of a comfort, anyhow, that car rides hadn't been raised in price as yet. This bit of subterranean solace didn't last long, though. Stopping on his way to the office to buy a tin of tobacco, he had occasion to reflect that, though the tine was purchased at a familiar price, it contained--and said so, in gilt letters--only one and one-half ounces, whereas it used to contain two ounces. Soliloquizing thus bitterly, he negotiated for the purchase of a dozen boxes of safety matches. He had to pay seven cents for them, instead of five.
After he got to the office he sub-

La Touraine Escapes Lure
--
Stops to Aid Crippled Vessel, but Torpedoed Columbia Warns her by Wireless
--
How the French liner La Touraine, which arrived her to-day from Bordeaux, probably narrowly escaped being torpedoed on her first day out, twenty miles off the French coast, was told by Captain Caussin and passengers. 
Captain Caussin said the streamer was proceeding in an extremely brought sea a few hours after sailing when he was signalled by what he thought was a French steamer a mile away. The other vessel said she needed immediate assistance, as she was without propellers. La Touraine was stopped, a small boat was launched and several men put off to the steamer. After they were on the sea an hour trying to reach the steamer, a wireless was received from the steamship Columbian, stating that she was being torpedoed and awrning all steamers to look out for a steamer with broken propellers. 
Captain Caussin recalled the boat had made all haste to depart, but it was two hours before La Touraine would egt under way. 
Lieutenant William Thaw and C. C. Johnson, members of the French-American Aviation Corps engaged with the French army, arrived here to-day on the French Line steamship Touraine. 
They said they are her on leave of absence. 
Thaw, who was promoted to the rank of first lieutenant last May, told why he was promoted. He had flown [[?]] the German Lines at Verdun in [[?]]-man machine, he said, and was attacked by three German aircraft. He shot one down and then turned to escape the others. 
He was pursued and shots from the enemy aircraft disabled his motor and broke an arm. Although nearly a [[?]] in the air, he managed to vol [[?]], landing safely 800 years behind the French lines. 
Thaw gave particulars of the death of Norman Prince, the young American aviator. 
"Prince shot down two German planes within a few minutes of each other, and then started back to earth," said Thaw. "He was making a beautiful landing and we were all gunning out to congratulate him on his success when, just as his machine was a few feet above the ground, the tip of one wing caught in a telegraph wire, turning his craft over. 
"Prince's injuries were at first thought not to be serious, and the cause of his death was at first a mystery. A small fragment of bone [[?]] dirt had entered the blood and been carried to the brain. There a clot was formed which resulted in his death."

Covers Wage-Fixing, Government Ownership and Incorporation, Securities Control.

Investigation to Include Telephone, Telegraph, Express, and Other Public Utilities

(Special Despatch to The Globe.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20- The railroad and general transportation inquiry begun to-day by the joint committee of congress of which Senator Newlands is chairman will extend to the railroad wage question. This was a most important development of the first session, held to-day. Senator Newlands, in making his opening statement, said definitely that the committee would do this, and that it was fitting it should give profound thought to some other method of adjusting disputes than by resort to force. 
The inquiry, it was shown, will be of the broadest scope. Railraod credit, federal control, national incorporation, government ownership, and other big subjects will be studied. It did not escape notice that Senator Newlands emphasized the question of government ownership. The committee did not begin formal hearings, but heard statements from representatives of the roads, state commissions, shippers' organizations, various public utilities, and others as to the hearing they and their interests desire.
In this connection a clash developed at the outset between the roads on the one side and representatives of state commissions and shippers on the other. Former Senator Bristow for the state commissions, and Judge S. H. Cowen for the live stock industry, objected to going on in advance of the roads, and wanted the railroads to state their complaints first. Judge A. P. Thom, speaking as the representative of the railroad executives committee, objected to the roads being put in the position of plaintiffs. All the parties interested said they wanted to avoid having their plans prejudiced. 
Wide Scope of Inquiry.
In opening the committee session Chairman Newlands explained the wide scope of the inquiry. He said:
"It will related to every phase of the transportation question, the rail carriers, and the perfection of a har-

Tiny Airplane in Which Ruth Law Made Her Remarkable Trip From Chicago to New York; Major-General Wood Greeting Miss Law Just After She Landed at Governors Island.

Gets Hearty Greeting as She Ends Trip From Chicago at Governors Island.
--
"'TWAS EASY," SHE SAYS
--
"Wonderful!" Gen. Wood Tells Her--Quickly Dons Skirt and Then Asks for Powder Puff.
--
A crowd of army officers, their wives, aviators, aero club officials, reporters, moving picture men, and camera "fiends" were gathered this morning on the aviation field on Governors Island. They were searching the sky high and low over the tall buildings of Manhattan, over the Hudson River, and over New Jersey.
Suddenly in the stilness a cry was heard:
"Here she comes!"
Far in the distances high over Manhattan a tiny speck was seen. Over the assemblage ran the shout:
"I see her! I see her!"
"Her" was Miss Ruth Bancroft Law, who was approaching the island the last leg of her airplane flight from Chicago.
The Speck in the Sky.
Each second the speck grew larger, and in a moment the antiquated Curtiss biplane in which Miss Law was flying was circling and sweeping down toward the earth. She made a wonderful landing, but one which made the spectators who were familiar with the laws of aviation hold their breath, for she landed with the wind, instead of against it, as most experienced aviators do.
It was 9:37:35 A. M. official time when Miss Law came to earth, having left Binghampton at 7.23 A. M. As the crow flies the distance is 152 miles, but Miss Law's course made her flight several miles longer. Her time from Chicago to Hornell, N. Y., where she made her first stop yesterday, was 5 hours and 45 minutes for the 590 miles, and she added ninety miles to her flight from Hornell to Binghampton, covering the distance in fifty-six minutes.
Thus the actual flying time of Miss Law from Chicago to New York was 8 hours 55 minutes and 35 seconds. She bettered the non-stop flight of Victor Carlstrom by 138 miles, but

"COMPLETE VICTORY" WON IN SERBIA SAYS PARIS
--
Entente Forces Push on Beyond Captured City and Take Several New Positions from the Demoralzied Bulgars.
--
PARIS, Nov. 20 (2.10 P.M.).- Allied troops have been completely victorious on the Macedonian front from the River Cerna to Lake Presba, according to announcement made by the French War Office this afternoon. 
This success reached its culmination yesterday with the entrance of French cavalry into Monastir at 8.30 in the morning. During this same day French troops moved out to the north of Monastir and captured Hill 821 and other villages in this vicinity. They also took 620 prisoners and a considerable quantity of war material. 
The text of the communication follows:
The fighting which has been going on since Nov. 10 along the front fo the army in the Orient, from the River Cerna to Lake Presba, has come to an end with a complete victory for the allied troops.
The day of Nov. 19 saw the final result of the vast enveloping manoeuvre of the German and Bulgarian forces which were defending the region of Monastir. 
On the evening of Nov. 18 Serbian forces, continuing their victorious offensive, occupied the village of Grunishte, eat of the Cerna. The same night Yarashok, in the bend of the river, fell into the hands of Franco-Serbian troops. Following up their success with energy during the night of the 18-19, our allies, after a brilliant engagement took posession of Hill No. 1,378, and at daybreak of Nov. 19 they drove the enemy out of Makovo.
During the day of the 19th several lines of Bulgarian trenches located in the vicinity of Dombromir were occupied by Serbian forces. This determined advance movement compelled the Germano-Bulgarians to evacuate the last of their positions protecting Monastir. 
French cavalry pursuing closely the rear guard of the enemy entered Monastir Nov. 19 at 8.30 o'clock in the morning. They were followed by a column of Franco-Russian infantry.
The retreat of the Germano-Bulgarian force from Onastir in the direction of Prilep is a debacle, says a despatch to the Wireless Press from Rome to-day. The entente troops are pursuing the fleeing foe and have occupied villages north of Monastir, taking prisoners as they advanced, the despatch adds. 
The Serbians, according to thead advices, are delaying entering Monastir because of the fire and explosions which have virtually destroyed the city, from which the population has fled. 
BERLIN Nov. 20 (by wireless).- new German formations have reached the Macedonian front, it is announced officially. The new positions north of Monastir were taken up without pressure from the allies. Serbian advances in the Maglencia region were repulsed. 
LONDON, Nov. 20.- The Serbians are given the lion's share of honor by the morning papers in discussing the fall of Monastir. The capture of Hill 1212 by the Serbians and their rapid advance to Hill 1278, threatening the Bulgarian's only avenue of retreat along the Prilep road, is considered the main factor in forcing the hasty evacuation of the city. 
Military opinions insists that the al-

BRITISH RUSH FAILED IS CLAIM

German War Office Says Attacks Between Serre and Beaucourt Were Checked.

BERLIN, Nov. 20 (By Wireless).- Attacks were made by the British yesterday on the Somme front between Serre and Baucourt, and south of Miraumont. The War Office announces that these assaults failed, with heavy losses to the attackers. The British were driven from the Western Part of Grandcourt. 
The military critic of the Overseas News Agency writes:
"The great thrust on the Somme has come to a complete standstill. Last week the general battle was split into isolated attacks. The small local successes of the enemy could not be developed, and for the most part were nullified by counter attacks. The fact that for several weeks the same villages have been mentioned again and again in the official German re-
