Troops of King Ferdinand in the Jiul valley have reached Filliash, but here they are outflanked by the Teu- tonic allles at Cralova and, without th aid of a raliroad to convey them east- ward, seemingly must be caught on the plains of Wallachia in the vise of the Austro-Germans, which is closing in on them trom the north and south. Added peril to the Rumanians in this region is noted in the continued advance of the Teutonic allies in the Alt valley, south of the Rothenthurm pass, where Petrograd adinits the Ru- manians are retiring slowly southward. An advance eastward along the rail- way 26 miles to Slatina would give the Austro-Germans this important railroad town and compel the re- treating Rumanians in the Alt vall also to take the high roads in en en- deavor to escape in the direction of Bucharest. Little fighting is reported from any of the other fronts. In the Somme region of France a heavy fog hung over the entire battle fleld Tuesday and nothing but artillery dueis took puace. Bombardments and minor in- fantry attacks have occnrred in the Italian theatre. In Macedonia, according to Paris, the entente allied troops to the north of Monastir are still pressing the Ger- mans and Bulgars. West of Monastir the Italians have repulsed counter-at- tacks delivered by the Teutonic al- lies.

WAGE INCREASE FOR WOOLEN WORKERS For 35,000 Employed In New England and New York State Boston, Nov. 12.—A ten per cent. wage Increase in all the mills of the American Woolen Company, - which employs 35,000 hands in New Eng- land and New York state , was an- nounced at the headquarters of the company here tonight. At the same time the Arlington Mills, wohse blg cotton plant at Lawrence employs 5000 hands, announced “a higher scale of wages,” the amount of whicn ‘was not specified. It was believed that the new scale would be similar to that made public last night by the Cot- ton Manufacturers’ Association of New Bedford, grainting their 33,000 employes a ten per cent. raise. All the increases in the pay of tex- tile_operatives thus far announced are to be effective December 4. In most instances they mark the third ad- vance of the calendar year, and bring the wages to the highest point in the in_the history of the industry. Representatives of other mills had no statement to make regarding sim- iar wage increases at their plants, but in the past such advances have us- ually been virtually uniform in north- ern New England mills. It was es- timated in textile circels that the granting of a 10 per cent. raise in all New England mills wou'd mean an ad- dition of more than $10,000,000 a year to contents of tbe pay eaveopes. NATIONAL GRANGE DISCUSSES HIGH COST OF LIVING. Committee Appointed to Set Forth the Farmers’ Side of the Question. Washington, Noy. 21.—The national grange In session here today named a ocmmittee to prepare a brief freeing the farmer of blame for the high cost of llving. The comuuittee, appointcd after a discussion of charges that farmers are growing rich at the ex- pense of the consumer, was directed to set forth that the fa‘mers’ own pur- chases cost twice as muach as a_few years ago and that profits on farm products have rematned nearly at a standstill. Two dollar wheat, speakers declared, will not enrich any farmer as long as the cost of labor and machinery con- tinues to rise. Distribution methods in a large measure will be held re- sponsible by the comwmittee for the high cost of food to the consumer. The grange wiil consider tomorrow a resolution opposing the Shields water power leasing bill, pending in congress, and is expected to go on rec- ord agalnst the bill and all similar legislation. .

New York, Nov. 2.—A central mar- ket, 5o Tocated that steamships could unload directly under its roof and with connecting spurs for raliroads, was advocated today by John J. Dil- lon, commissioner of the state de- partment of foods and markets, as the most practicable means of combatting the high cost of living. By eliminating the excessive cost of handling and re-handling food pro- ducts, Mr. Dillon said it was his belief the prevailing prices for food commo- dities would be materially reduced. Pending the necessary negotiations for the establishment of the proposed central market, Mr. Dillon suggested that co-operative organnization be formed immediately to back three stores in dfferent parts of the city. These stores, he said would re- ceive their supplies direct from the producers and sell direct to members of the co-operative organization at cost.. That the problem here has become an acute one was further emphasized by Deputy Assistant District Attorney Markewitch. He announced that he was | presenting to the grand jury evidence he has collected the increased cost of poultry. So far as the producer is concerned. Mr. Markewitch declared he has colected on increased cost of able excuse for the advance. The pro- ducer’s price of the past six months, he had heen unable to find and reason- though housewives are now paying from four to five cents a pound more for poultry. DESTRUCTION CAUSED BY EXPLOSIONS AT ARCHANGEL At Least Twenty Steamers Caught Fire Result. Berlin, Nov. 21.—Reports recetved from SCwedish sources state that at least twenty steamers caught nre in the recent series of explosions near Archangel and were forced to stay in the harbor until it was ice-bound, savs the Overseas News Agency. According to these reports it is estimated that 8,000,000 rubles, 20,000 bales of cotton belonging to the Moscow Association of Cotton Mills and 15,000 rubles worth of rubber were burned. A new automobile train for Petrograd and Moscow s reported to have been partly destroyed. From the same sources it is stated that Admiral Grigorovitch, the Russian minister of marine, was immediately summoned to headquarters by the em- peror. General Chouvaieff ,the Russian min- ister of war, is quoted as characteri: ing the explosions as “one of Russia‘'s ‘worst defeats.” The British ambassador at Petro- srad, according to Stockholm reports seized the opportunity to claim in the name of his government the right to superintend the harbor.

EMPEROR FRANCIS JOSEPH IS DEAD AGED RULER OF AUSTRO-HUNG- ARY SUCCUMBED TO CATARRH- AL ATTACK LAST NIGHT. London, Nov. 22, 3.41 a. m.—Emperor Francis Joseph died last night at 9 o'clock at Schoenbrunn castle, accord- ing to a Reuter despatch from Vienna, by way of Amsterdam. The first intimation reccived here that Emperor Francis Joseph's health was again the subject of solicitation was contained :n a despatch dated Nov. 12 emanating from a Vienna news agency, which reported that the em- peror had been suffering for some daye from a slight catarrhal affection. Sub- sequent reports from various sources, more or less conficting, represented that his ondition was becoming worse, but none of them indicated that his iliness threatened to reach a crit- ical state, and from Vienna came as- surances that he was still able to give audiences to one or more ministers daily. What gave some credence to the suspicion that his condition was much graver than the official bulletins indi- cated was the report, which still lacks official confirmation, that it had been decided to associate the heir to the throne, Archduke Charles Francis, in the government of the country and that he was to assume the position on Dec. 2 on the 68th anniversary of the emperor's ascension to the throne. So far as is known here, Archduke Charles is still at the front sa com- mand of the army. Like the death of Pope Pius X, the end of the yenerable smperor Francis Joseph is charged largely againsi the great war. The one man was a help- less spectator, shocked at the horror of such a sudden and widespread clash of arms; the other the man whose ac- tion in avenging the assassination of Pl;ds heir engulfed nine nations in com- at. With Francis Joseph's death in the midst of this great conflict there is a remarkable climax tc a long list of tragedies in the Hapsourg family—a list unparalleled in any other reigning house in Europe—including the as- sassination or violent death of seven near relatives. The fortitude with which the em- peror bore each blow and -in _later years withstood the nroads of ill- people. Fears that the "SHoCK - assassination of his heir, the Arch- duke Francis Ferdinand, and his con- sort while on a state visit to Bosnia on June 25th last, would kill the em- peror were answered in characteristic manner. Francis Joseph, then nearing his 84th birthday, recuperating at Ischl from a catarrhal affiction which each spring had worn heavily upon bim, mustered strength to return to Vienna immedi- (Continued On Page Two) DECISION OF ADAMSON LAW BEFORE JANUARY 1. Legal Skirmish Brought to a Sudden lssue by Motion Filed by Government. Kansas City, Mo, Nov. 21.—Legal skirmishing in the fight of :he rail- roads of the United States against the Adamson eight hour law was brought to a sudden issue today by 2 motion filed by the government in the United States distrisct court nere which it is expected will resuit in a decision on the constitutionality of the law by the supreme court of the United States be- fore Jan. 1, when the 1aw is to go into effect. ‘Prolonged, unnecessary and scat- tered litigation showid, if possible, be avoided, otherwise injury may result to the public and the railroads, and their employes,” the government says in its motion as a reason for its ac- tion. The government's motion, which was directed against Alexander New and Henry C. Ierriss, receivers for the Missouri, Okiahoma and Gulf railroad, embodied two distinct requests of the court, as follows: —The government asks an imme- diate decision on the injunction peti- tion filed by the receivers for the Mis- souri, Oklahoma and Gulf, in which the Adamson law was attacked as un- constitutional, and an order requested forbidding its- enforcement. The gov- ernment cortends that the injunction petition should be dismissed because the law is constitutional, therefore leaving the railroad no basis in equity for its action. “2—Should the law be held uncon- stitutional, the government asks that the court direct tie receivers for the railroad to join the government in getting the case advaaced immediate- ly to the supreme court of the United States for fnal decision.” Judge Willlam C. Hook, sitting in the case, took the motion under ad- visement ‘and announced that he will render a decision tomorrow.

' 21.—The United States Steel Corporation tonight an- nounced an increase of 10 per cent. in the wages of the employes of its steel and iron companies, effective Decem- ber 15 next. Wage and salary ad- vances in other departments of the corporation also will be equitably ad- justed, it was stated. The increase affects, in all,"about 200,000 employes and probably adds nearly $20,000,000 to the corporation’s payroll. Result of Abnormal Conditions. “Ordinarily the question of wages would not,come up for considsration or decision at this time of the vear,” said Chairman Elbert H. Gary, in making the announcement, “but in consequence of the abnormal condi- tions now existing, it has been decided to increase the wage rates of our iron and steel companies about 10 per cent. to take effect December 15. As to other departments, increases will be equitably proportioned.” Chairman Gary declined to make turther comment, but another official of the corporation said the action of the directors was taken “with due re- gard for the higher prices prevailing for necessaries in all parts of the country.” Payroll More than $150,000. Total salaries and wages paid to_the company’s 191,126° employes in 1915 aggregated $176,800,364. Since that time the number of employes has greatly increased and several wage advances have been made. It is esti- mated the payroll of the steel corpor- ation at this time is between $190,090,- 000 and $200,000,000. which implies an increase of approximately $20,000,090 under the higher rate of pay. The average wage or salary per em- ploye in 1915 was, $2.92 a day, an in- crease of four cents daily over the previous year. The advance to take effect in December will raise the ave- rage of wages and salaries to the highest level in the history of the cor- poration. - EMPEROR- WILLIAM SUPPORTS “VON BETHMANN-HOLLWEG Against Attacks Made Upon Him by His Opponents at Home.

She was without convoy. ten miles off shore. Off Watch Hill ‘at 4.18. As the Deutschland passed this point at sunset, 415 p. m. it was thought she would probatly not be sighted again before daybreax. By that time, it was estimated, she would be in the vicinity of Nantucket South Shoals lightship. Coast guard stations along the coast were under orders from Washington, the officers said, to reveal no observations of thc submarine which they might make. : Reverses Course of Inbound Trip. Passing Watch Hill eastbound, the Deutschland was on a course exactly the reverse which she followed in reaching New London on Nov. 1. She was headed past the north shore of Block Island and going toward Poimt Judith. Captain Koenig recently described his westbound course as marked by No Man’s Land, a solitary isiand off the coast of Martha's Vineyard. Go- ing back over this track, the Deutsch- land on the present vcyage, if her skipper chose, could follow the 20- fathom curve, a path of safety past the shoals of this vicinity leading to the clear water off the Nantucket South Shoals light vesscl.
