25 CENTS A DAY FOR A SCIENTIFIC DIET

12 Persons Will be Used to Prove High Cost of Living is Unnecessary 
____________________

Chicago, Nov. 19 - Six mens and six women, employees of the city Health Department, ate their Thanksgiving dinner to-day and then gave their pledge to eat nothing for two weeks except the scientific diet provided by a public economy commission. 
They will attempt to demonstrate the theories of the commission that the high cost of living is due in a great degree to the apparent willingness of the public to pay any price demanded for its luxuries and that the public's health as well as its purse would be improve by an intelligent diet. 
John Dill Robertson, Health Commissioner, says he expects to feed the tweleve for $20 a week, or at a trifle more than eight cents a meal or 25 cents a day. 
The square will weight at 8:30 tomorrow morning. Their weight will be carefully watched each day of the two weeks. They will get three carefully prepared meals each day and will be expected to do their regular work and will be permitted to do drink only water between meals. 
A big commission merchant who admitted to-day he had profitted by high prices attribute the increase to the supine public. "In former years if a housewife was asked to pay 40 cents a pound for better," he said, "she reolvted and used a cheaper substitute. This year she pays 50 cents.
"Therein lies the secrets of present high prices. There are liberal stocks of butter and eggs in cold storage and the holders have made more money than they ever expected to make. Still there is no way to make them sell a product for 30 cents if they can 50 for it and as long as buyers will pay the advancing prices the price is going up. 
"It has got to be a joke. A seller will offer a lot of butter or eggs at a certain price, feeling that no one will be foolish enoough to pay that high, and the first thing he knows his offerings are accepted."

Beats Carlstrom by 216 Miles - Overtaken by Darkness, Will Come Here To-day.
_________________

Binghamton, N.Y. November 19.  The American cross-country non-stop aviation record is held by a woman.  Miss Ruth Bancroft Law, 29 years old, landed here from Chicago at 4:45 o'clock this afternoon in her Curtiss biplane, a little crestfallen because darkness had forced her to come down without completing the Chicago-New York flight she had planned. She will fly to New York tomorrow morning, landing at Governors Island about 8:30.
Miss Law hardly expected to make a non-stop flight to New York from Chicago - the gasolene tank in her little biplane would not carry enough fuel for that - but she did expect to dine tonight in Manhattan.  As it was, when she came down this afternoon at Hornell, N.Y., for gasolene she was 668 miles from her starting point, which beat Victor Carlstrom's nonstop record by 216 miles.  
Here is what Miss Law did:

Left Chicago                8:26 A.M.

First Cross-Country Flight
________________
Miss Law began to fly in 1912, and has always been known as an exhibition flier.  She has looped the loop and taken part in several aerodrome meets, but this is the first time she ever made any sort of a cross country flight.  Her longest previous flight was not more than twenty-five miles.
The feature of Miss Law's achievement, aside from the fact that she is a young woman of slender build and not at all athletic, is that she came almost unheralded.  She had an old aeroplane rebuilt by the Curtiss company few days ago.  Then she telegraphed the Aero Club of America that she would make a Chicago-New York flight in accordance with the club's rules, and asked that they send an observer to watch the start.  She expected to start yesterday, but had motor trouble with the rebuilt machine, and had to wait over until this morning.  She did not sit in Chicago day after day waiting for fair weather, as Carlstrom did, and her achievement is the more remarkable on that account. 
She steered by compass most of the way, flying at an altitude of 6,000 feet with a stiff breeze at her back.  But when she was about 300 miles from Hornell Miss Law had to slightly change her course, so that the wind blew across the machine.  Then the engine began to take more gas, until her fifty-three gallons were exhausted when she was still two miles from Hornell, where she had arranged to stop.  She was forced to voplane, without power, to the Hornell fair grounds, where experts from the Curtiss factory were waiting to fill up the tank.
In spite of her heavy clothing she was numb and stiff with the cold when she arrived at Hornell, but could hardly wait for the mechanics to inspect the machine, so anxious was Miss Law to get away again when she learned that she had bettered Carlstrom's record.

Glad Handers Turn Out.
________________

Binghamton's Chamber of Commerce has a glad hand committee, which got on the job immediately when Miss Law was seen to land on the Willis Sharpe Kilmer stock farm.  Samuel H. Dailey, the chairman of the committee, who was automobiling near the landing place, was the first to greet her.
Miss Law's first words were, "I'm going to do it next time." She said that her failure was due to a delay of an hour and a half this morning in starting from Chicago, due again to motor trouble.  She had planned to start at 7 o'clock Eastern time.  If she had had that much time before darkness, she said, she would have been able to complete the journey.
At 2:30 o'clock this morning Miss Law arose from her night's sleep at the Morrison Hotel in Chicago.  She put on first a suit of silk then a suit of chamois, two suits of woolen underwear, a suit of soft leather to keep the wind from her body and over all a heavy, fur lined overcoat.  She wore on her head a woolen cap, covered with a woolen avaitor's helmet and then a leather helmet.  Two pairs of wool stockings, heavy shoes, puttees, gloves and goggles completed her outfit.

WILSON GIVES LANE NEW MEXICAN PLAN
_______________

Joint Patrol of the Border and Good Offices in Procuring a Loan.
_______________

CABRERA TURNED DOWN
_______________

He Had Insisted on a Mexican Being in Command of Frontier Guard.
_______________

Washington, November 19 - The adoption of a plan for the settlement of the Mexican controversy which will have the approval of President Wilson and First Chief Carranza is expected to follow the return of Secretary Lane to Atlantic City for the resumption of the conferences of the joint commission.
The Secretary of the Interior, chairman of the American delegation, takes with him, it is believed, the President's approval of a plan which will be satisfactory to all the Mexican delegates, at least in its general provisions.  This, it is understood, was discussed at the at the White House conference last night in which the President and Secretaries Lane, Lansing, and Baker participated.  It is expected to meet the objections which Luis Cabrera oft he Mexican delegation made to the original proposals of the American delegation.
The three important features of the convention which it now seems probable will be agreed upon by the Atlantic City conference are:
The withdrawal of General Pershing's expeditionary forces of the two countries. 
The extension by the United States of its good offices in procuring for the Mexican Government a loan in the United States which may be used for the rehabilitation of the stricken republic.

_______________
Withdrawal to Come First.
_______________

The American expeditionary force is to be withdrawn as soon as possible, it is understood, as a condition precedent to the carrying out of other provisions of the agreement by Carranza. It is not expected, however, that the troops will be brought back immediately. The attitude of the Mexican delegates indicates that Carranza has modified somewhat his peremptory demand that the American forces leave Mexican soil before anything else is done.
It is an open secret that Louis Cabrera has proved the stumbling block in the way of reaching an agreement. Commissioners Bonillas and Pani, it is said, have been ready to approve several different suggestions for cooperative action. Cabrera, however, held out for control of any joint operations by a Mexican military commander, a concession the American commissioners did not feel warranted in making. The patrol arrangement would provide that each Government patrol its own side of the line independently, but with the understanding that American troops will pursue into Mexico on a hot trail any bandits who attack border towns. 

_________________
Loan the Chief Quest.
_________________

From the point of view of the Mexican commissioners the floating of a loan in the United States is the most important. Their contention has been that the presence of the American troops has kept northern Mexico in an unsettled condition and that Carranza has been forced to use what revenues he has been able to obtain for the upkeep of his army. As a result internal conditions generally have been neglected, and the Government has been unable to give its attention to pressing domestic problems. 
With financial assistance Carranza counts upon restoring normal conditions, encouraging industry and setting the wheels of activity in motion again so that revenues will increase and that further reforms may be carried out. The proposed loan would be secured by taxes upon natural resources, such as oil and minerals. 
It is generally expected in diplomatic circles in the capital that the international commission will reach a decision of one kind or another within a short time. There are indications that the United States Government will elect to stand upon the plan approved at the White House conference. It is even possible, that to expedite the achievement of the object of the Atlantic City conferences Secretary Lansing may go up to be at hand in case his advice is needed.

FRANCE PLANS TO MOBILIZE WORKERS

New Official Will Control All Traffic by Rail, River and Sea.
_______________

PARIS, Nov.19- A mass mobilization of French civilians is under serious consideration as a counter measure to that of Germany, according to the Temps.
"A simultaneous effort on the part of the Allies must be the answer to Germany," the Temps says. "Germany must be beaten; there is no other question. The duty of each of us at this tragic hour, when the fate of the country and civilization is being decided, is to work entirely and without reserve for the national defence and the cause of liberty. No one has the right at this time to avoid responsibility nor to dodge duty. 
"It is the hour to apply the decree of the national convention that 'until the day the enemy is driven from the territory all Frenchmen are in permanent requisition for the service of the armies.' 
France in peril has need now more than ever to put into service all her moral and mental intelligence if the final decision is to be hastened. 
_______________
Appeal to Entire Nation.
_______________

"This appeal must be made as at the time of the revolution to all the energies capable of contributing to the liberation of the country. The entire nation must raise itself to the level of our admirable army and those 'behind the front' must be worthy of those in the trenches."
The Journal des Debats says:
"The war is reaching a crisis and we must gain a rapid increase in production without hindering everyday life. At the moment when the Germans are making their most dangerous effort the French feel more than at any other time the need of being governed, to be set right and guided and, if necessary, constrained to order and work."
The appointment will be officially announced to-morrow of a Director-General of Transports and Importations for the whole of France. His powers will cover everything connected with traffic whether by rail, river or sea. In addition he will be in charge of all transport arrangements and decide as to their priority, both as regards exports and imports, and regulate the arrivals and departures of all vessels used in the public service in the military zone. He will act under the authority of the Commander-in-Chief or the Minister of War.
The first holder of the office will be M. Olaveille, State Railway Director, who at present is Under Secretary for Munitions.

Private Cars to Be Banned.
________________
The private automobile is a luxury which can be dispensed with in wartime, in the opinion of the economies commission. Considering that in the present circumstances all of the resources of the country must be devoted exclusively to the national defence, the commission in a report made public to-day urges the Government to suppress without delay or reduce the number of all automobiles not strictly utilized in the public service or destined for industrial commercial uses. The report recommends [[guess]] also that the military authorities [[guess]] use the railroads if possible instead ... automobiles and that a careful ... kept on the use of oil and gasolene.
