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 notebook that son needed in school. Just as 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 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 a 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 wonder if you noticed that collars had gone up from 2 cents to 2 1/2 and that shirts are 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 tin 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- (Continued on Fifth Page.) LA TOURAINE ESCAPES LURE Stops to Aid Crippled Vessel, but Torpedoed Columbia Warns Her by Wireless. How the French liner La Touraine, which arrived here 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 steamer was proceeding in an extremely rough 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 propellors. La Tourane was stopped, a small boat was launched and several men put off to the steamer. After they were on the sea an hour tryng to reach the steamer, a wireless was received from the steamship Columbian, stating that she was being torpedoed and awrning all steamers look out for a steamer with broken propellors. Captain Caussin recalled the boat and made all haste to depart, but it was two hours before La Touraine could egt under way. Lieutenant William Thaw and C. C. Johnson, members of the French-American Aviation Corps engaged with the French army, arrived here -day on the French Line steamship Touraine. They said they are here on leave of absence. Thaw, who was promoted to the rank of first lieutenant last May, told why he was promoted. He had flown over the Germain lines at Verdun in one-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 mile in the air, he managed to vol- ane, landing safely 800 yards 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 beautiful landing and we were all running out to congratulate him on his success when, just as his machine was a few feet above the ground, the p of one wing caught in a telegraph wire, turning his craft over. "Prince's injuries were at first hought not to be serious, and the cause of his death was at first a mystery. A small fragment of bone or dirt had entered the blood and been carried to the brain. There a clot was formed which resulted in his death." AMERICAN STEAMSHIP SIBERIA IS AGROUND BERLIN, Nov. 20 (by wireless). - The American steamship Siberia, ccording to wireless reports received here, is stranded on the East Goodwin sands, near Dover, and is asking for help. The officers of the Siberia say it is impossible to launch boats owing to the heavy seas. The vessel reported in the foregoing despatch from Berlin as being ashore on Goodwin Sands is undoubtedly the steamshup Siberia, of 11,284 tons gross. The Sibiria was formerly owned by the Atlantic Fruit Company, but in the spring of this year, according to advices received in New York, was sold to the Wittenberg Coal Company.

INQUIRY --- Covers Wage-Fixing, Govern-ment Ownership and Incorpo-ration, Securities Control. --- TAXATION ALSO A FEATURE --- Investigation to Include Tele-phone, Telegraph, Express, and Other Public Utilities. --- (Special Despatch to The Globe.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-The rail-road and general transportation in-quiry begun to-day by the joint com-mittee of congress of which Senator Newlands is chairman will extend to the railroad wage questions. 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 ad-justing disputes than by resort to force. The inquiry, it was shown, will be of the broadest scope. Railroad credit, federal control, national incorpora-tion, 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 in-terests desire. In this connection a clash devel-oped 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 indus-try, objected to going on in advance of the roads, and wanted the rail-roads to state their complaints first. Judge A. P. Thom, speaking as the representative of the railroad execu-tives committee, objected to the roads being put in the position of plain-tiffs. 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 relate to every phrase of the transportation question, the rail car-riers, the river carriers, and the ocean carriers, and the perfection of a har- (Continued on Fourth Page.) --- ORDER TEUTON ENVOYS TO LEAVE GREECE --- German, Austro-Hungarian, Bulgarian, and Turkish Ministers Told to Get Out, London Hears. --- LONDON, Nov. 20.-An Athens despatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company says the German, Austro-Hungarian, Bulgarian, and Turkish ministers to Greece have been in-formed by Vice-Admiral Du Fournet, commander of the allied fleet, that they must depart from Greece by Wednesday. The Greek government has ordered that the university at Athens be closed owing to disturbances on the part of the students, Reuter's Athens correspondent cables. ATHENS, Nov. 17 (Via London, Nov. 20.-A number of students of Athens University comprised the principal portion of the crowd in pro-entente demonstrations held yester-day. They were headed by Professor Petmezas of the law faculty of the university. An endeavor was made to secure a mass meeting of the stu-dents for the purpose of passing reso-lutions to King Constantine in favor of abandoning neutrality and espous-ing the cause of the allies. Royalist students objected to this. A fight ensued, which the police had to be called upon to quell, and in the course of which several persons were hurt. --- The Stream of Desire--- flowing ever outward from the heart of man-must be counteracted by the return current of satisfaction or life's hardships will be augmented.

RUTH LAW COMPLETES HER RECORD-BREAKING FLIGHT [[IMAGE]] [[/IMAGE]] --- 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, re-porters, moving picture men, and camera "fiends" were gathered this morning on the aviation field on Gov-ernors Island. They were searching the sky high and low over the tall buildings of Manhattan, over the Hud-son River, and over New Jersey. Suddenly in the stillness a cry was heard: "Here she comes!" Far in the distances high over Man-hattan 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 Cur-tiss 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 fa-miliar 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 eaerth, hav-ing 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 yester-day, was 5 hours and 45 minutes for the 590 miles, and she added ninety miles in 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 was 27 minutes and 5 seconds behind his time from Chicago to New York. Carlstrom, however, had a specially constructed, up-to-the-minute 200-horsepower Curtiss machine, beside which the old-fashioned 100-horse-power one Miss Law used looked like a toy. In a statement on Miss Law's achievement the Aero Club of Amer-ica officially designates her as holding the American "non-stop cross-coun-try record, the world's record for women, and the second best world's cross-country non-stop record." Miss Law was numb with the cold when she finished her flight, and those who saw her machine, which furnished no protection for the pilot, marvelled at what she had accomplished. "Wonderful," Says Gen. Wood. "It was wonderful," was the com-ment of Major General Leonard Wood, who was one of the first to shake hands with Miss Law, "to think that a slip of a woman like she is wasn't frozen stiff in that ma-chine. You know how cold it is in an open automobile, even with the windshield up. Imagine how cold she must have been up in the air with absolutely no protection." Henry Woodhouse, chairman of the board of governors of the Aero Club of America, and Augustus Post, an-other of the governors of the club, paid high tribute to Miss Law's pluck. "A wonderful accomplishment," said Mr. Woodhouse, while Mr. Post declared it was an achievement which would never be forgotten in the his-tory of aviation. "I'm all right, but cold," were the --- (Continued on Page Two.) [[IMAGE]] [[/IMAGE]] [[CAPTION]] (Copyright by Underwood & Underwood.)

The recommendation was made in connection with a report on the action of the Massachusetts Supreme Court, in declaring unconstitutional the anti-trust and injunction law and classify-ing labor as property. --- SERGT. OCKER IN A FLIGHT TO WASHINGTON --- PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 20.-Sergeant William C. Ocker, U. S. A., left here at 1.30 P. M. to-day in a flight for Washington, taking in his biplane O. D. Bleakley of Franklin, Pa., con-gressman-elect. His trip was made to test a new stabilizer. BALTIMORE, Nov. 20.-An airplane flying toward Washington, supposed to be that of Sergeant Ocker, passed over the northern part of Baltimore about 3 P. M. to-day. --- AUSTRIANS REGAIN SOME CARSO GROUND --- ROME, Nov. 20 (Via London).-Austrian troops have gained some ground from the Italians on the Carso front, according to to-day's War Of-fice announcement. An assault by strong forces on the submmit of Hill 126 on Saturday resulted in the Aus-trians occupying one of the Italian entrenchments. --- 20 BOMBS FOUND ON N.Y. STEAMER --- Sarnia, Which Left Here With Sugar for France, Also on Fire at Sea, Says Officer. --- Twenty unexploded bombs were found in the sugar cargo of the American steamship Sarnia upon her arrival at Cherbourg, France, after a voyage, starting from New York on Sept. 2, during which the vessel caught fire from a cause unknown, according to Second Officer Wybrants, who arrived here to-day on the Amer-ican Line steamship New York from Liverpool. Sugar made up the bulk of the car-goes of the Sarnia and the barge Avondale, which she had in tow upon leaving New York. The fire at sea was extinguished without serious damage, Wybrants said, and the two vessels put in at Havre to discharge part of the cargo. It was not until they reached Cherbourg that the sugar was unloaded. The Sarnia, before the war a Ham-burg-American Line Steamship and since transferred to American regis-try, was cleared from New York by J. H. Winchester & Co., shipping brokers, and was owned by the Hudson Bay Company. The sugar was consigned to the French government by A. H. Lamborn & Co., New York sugar brokers. Mr. Wybrante said the bombs were found sewed up in the sacks of sugar. Their discovery was due to the fact that it was necessary to empty each bag of sugar on board to ascertain salvage. Seventeen were found one day and three the next. "They were of iron, nearly a foot long, and filled with a high explosive designed to explode when reached by the heat of the fire," he added. The sugar was loaded at a Brook-lyn dock, each bag passing under the eye of a private detection before it went aboard, with others on watch in the holds while the cargo was being stowed. --- MRS. BOISSEVAIN BETTER. LOS ANGELES, Nov. 20.-Mrs. Inez Milholland Boissevain, New York suf-fragist, who has been critically ill here for several weeks, was reported much improved to-day, but not yet out of danger. --- TEUTONS FAR INSIDE ROUMANIA --- Now Approaching Craiova, Western Wallachia's Capital, 120 Miles From Bucharest. --- BERLIN, Nov. 20 (By Sayville Wireless).-The German War Office announced to-night that the Teutonic troops in Roumania are approaching Craiova, capital of Western Wallachia, 120 miles west of Bucharest. PETROGRAD, Nov. 20 (Via Lon-don).-The Roumanians are still re-tiring southward before the invading Austro-German troops in the Jiul val-ley region, the War Office announced to-day. The statement reads: Transylvania-In the region of Campulung Roumanian attacks south of Dragoslavele were unsuc-cessful. In the region of Aldesht the Roumanians advanced to the northward and captured 100 pris-oners, two machine guns, and one cannon. The enemy attack on the Rou-manian troops in the Alt district, in the region of Tchest, Seban-esht, and Bressci, was unsuccess-ful. The attack was repelled by our fire. In the valley of the River Jiul the Roumanians, under the pres-sure of superior forces, still con-tinue to retire to the southward. Danube Front-The situation is unchanged. --- 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 yes-terday on the Somme front between Serre and Baucourt, and south of Miraumont. The War Office an-nounces 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-ports and those of the entente is the best proof that the general battle on the Somme has come to a standstill and that the British, as well as the French, are limited to improving their positions." PARIS, Nov. 20.-The French offi-cial communication on the progress of hostilities on the front in France issued this afternoon said: "The night passed in relative quiet on all fronts." LONDON, Nov. 20.-The War Office announcd to-day that the situation on the Franco-Belgian front is un-changed. --- NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS On account of the limited supply of white paper-the demand in the United States seriously exceeding the supply-The Globe will be forced, at least temporarily, to limit the amount of advertising which it can print. Preference will be given to ad-vertising which is received first at the office and which is revised and approved for insertion. Advertis-ing will be received and set into type only on the understanding that if it cannot be published on any particular day it may be printed at the first favorable op-portunity.

M.).-Allied troops have been com-pletely 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 culmina-tion yesterday with the entrance of Rench 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 ma-terial. The text of the communication fol-lows: The fighting which has been go-ing on since Nov. 10 along the front of the army in the Ori-ent, 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 maneuver of the German and Bulgarian forces which were de-fending the region of Monastir. On the evening of Nov. 18 Serbian forces, continuing their victorious offensive, occuptied the village of Grunishte, east of the Cerna. The same night Yara-shok, in the bend of the river, fell into the hands of Franco-Serbian troops. Following up their suc-cess with energy during the night of the 18-19, our allies, after a brilliant engagement took pos-session of Hill No. 1,378, and at daybreak of Nov. 19 they drove the enemy out of Makovo. During the day of the 19th sev-eral lines of BUlgarian trenches located in the vicinity of Dom-bromir were occupied by Serbian forces. This determined advance movement compelled the Ger-mano-Bulgarians to evacuate the last of their positions protecting Monastir. French cavalry pursuing closely the rear guard of the enemy en-tered 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 Monastir in the di-rection 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 oc-cupied villages north of Monastir, taking prisoners as they advanced, the despatch adds. The Serbians, according to these advices, are delaying entering Mon-astir because of the fire and explo-sions 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 pres-sure from the allies. Serbian ad-vances in the Maglenica 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 capature of Hill 1212 by the Serbians and their rapid advance to Hill 1378, threatening the Bulgarians' only avenue of retreat along the Prilep road, is considered the main factor in forcing the hasty evacuation of the city. Military opinion insists that the al-lies must now adance toward Prilep, using Monastir as a base, and from there to Negotin, on the Vardar. From the latter town they claim that the Bulgarian positions east of the Cerna could be outflanked and the frontier passes opened to the allied forces, which are now engaged northwest of Salonica. The fall of Monastir is con-sidered as clearly showing the su-periority of the allies over the Ger-man-Bulgar forces, in view of the formidable defenses which had been created around the city. During the day our troops, working out directly north of Monastir, took possession succes-sively of Hill No. 821 and of the village of Kirklina (two miles north of Monastir), and they reached the outskirts of Karaman and Crizar (respectively four miles to the northeast and two miles to the north of Monastir). These towns were at once attacked, and the pursuit of the enemy is con-tinuing without respite. Six hun-dred and twenty-two prisoners and a considerable quantity of war material remained in our hands. Berlin Explains the Monastir Evacuation BERLIN, Nov. 20 (By Wireless).-"Monastir's evacuation by the Ger-mans and Bulgars," says the Over-seas News Agency, "was a measure which had been prepared for several days by the chief command of the central allies. The Serbians had crossed the River Cerna, and, ad-vancing northward with superior
