It was also known official reports to this ef fect have been sent to Washington, substantiating messages sent earl ier in the day, reporting Villa in possession o .Trevino in flight. Ouc government source gave out a report tonight that Villa had or dered all of the foreign residents of Chihuahua City to leave on a special train for the border, but this report lacked verification, it was stated. Another report was that Villa has captured a car of ammunition which had been sent from Juarez to General Trevino. and "had -sent General Gonzales a message thank ing him for the ammunition. Vil la, according to the same, report, used Trevino 's private code, which had fallen into his hands. 0THI.G DEFINITE LEARNED BY THE OFFICIALS AT JUAREZ Juarez, Hex, x0v. 28.

American Steamer Chemung Is Destroyed By German U-Boat Crew Landed by a Spanish Vessel at Valencia, Spain Official Report to Washington Indicates the Case is Similar tb Tnat of the Steamers Frye and Leelanaw. London, Nov. 2S. The American steamer Chemung has been sunk near Cabo de Gata, a promontory of Spain, near the Andalusian coast, according to a report to Lloyds' today. . A dispatch to Reuter's from Valencia says the crew of the Chemung has been landed there by the Spanish steamer Giner. It adds that the steamer vas torpedoed and foundered with the Am erican sikg flying, the captain formally refusing to lower the colors. The Chemung, a steamer of 3,062 tons gross, sailed from New York for Genoa and Naples November 8. ' She stopped at the Azores, November 20. OFFICIAL REPORT OF SHIP'S LOSS SEAT TO WASHINGTON Washington, Nov. 28. Official re port on the destruction of the A.meri can Eteamer Chemung by a German submarine was received by the State Department late today from the Ameri. can consul at Valencia, Spain. He said all on board had been landed safely. The case appears to be similar to the destruction of the American ships Wil liam P. Frye and the Leelanaw, both carrying contraband, damages for which are to be awarded by diplomatic negoti ation. As there was no loss of life nor apparent violation of Germany's pledg es, the case is not regarded as alarm ing. SHIP SUNK WITH THE U. S. FLAG FLYING AT HER MAST Paris, Nov.. 2S, (censored).

New York City's fight to reduce the high cost of living began in earnest toda ywith a boycott began in earnest today with a boycott This was followed with a direct appeal by the National Housewives' League to President Wilson for the regulation of the country's food supply, and meetings of Federal, statt and city officials and investigating committees, as well as various civic brganizations at which resolutions were adopted looking to a speedy readjustment of conditions. Coincident with the egg boycott the price of turkeys dropped from four to five cents a pound. Virtually every branch of the munici pal government was at work today in an effort to find a solution to the food problem The board of aldermen adopted a resolution' providing that the committee on general welfare be di rected to report as early as possible "a practical plan for . investigating food conditions with a view of adopting such ordinances, , recommending such legis lation o'r taking , such steps as may be best calculated to remedy the evil." At the: same time the department of health was instructed to make a thor ough investigation of storage ware houses. EGG BOYCOTT PROCLAIMED BY CIVIC LEAGUE! OF DURHAM, N. C. Durham,- N. C, Nov. 28. The Civic League, a Durham organization com posed of women, imposed self restraint on the members of their own body not to buy 45-cent eggs and theij. issued a challenge to non-members of the league in Durham. Today's news dispatch from New York City suggesting a nation wide egg boycott was responded to hastily by the organized women of the Bull City and this statement was is sued: "In co-operation with women's clubs and civic "organizations throughout the United States, the Civic League in Dur ham has joined in a Nation-wide boy cott to bring down the price of eggs. Every housewife in Durham is asked to stop the purchase of eggs and kill the corner of the market. Stop buy ing eggs until the price drops to 25 cents a dozen, the normal price." The challenge was signed by Mrs. T. D. Jones, president, and Mrs. i; L F. Hill, acting president, of the organiza tion.

Although angry at the action of the German commander, Captain Duffy and his men had some measure of satisfaction in seeing the flag at the masthead as the waves finally engulfed their ship. The Chemung was registered at New York and carried a crew of twenty four. They found a place in two life boats ,and after a time on the open sea were picked up by a Spanish steamer, which , took them to Valencia. Captain (Continued on lNge Ten.) : EIGHT-HOUR CASE Government Formally, Makes Ap peal From Judge Hook 's Rul ing to Supreme Court. TO ASK EARLY ARGUMENT Unless Case is Given Precedence Over Many Others Awaiting Hearing It" May Not be Reached Be fore Middle of December. "Washington, Nov. 28. The case of the Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf rail road, selected to test tne constitution ality of the Adamson law, was placed today on the Supreme Court docket, the last step in perfection by the govern ment of its appeal from Federal Judge Hook's decision holding the law unconi stitutional. The Department of Jus tice advised the court derk's office that next Monday a motion would be pre sented to set a date for early argu ment. ' : ' . Solicitor General Davis asked the clerk' to have the record printed at once. Outside of the-record before the Su preme Court, and not so far made a part of the official transcript, is the stipulation agreed upon by Attorney General Gregory and railroad counsel to abide by the court's decision in the Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf case in all other suits questioning the validity of the Adamson act. In the presentation of arguments to the court,' however, a stiplation making the pending case de terminative of all otTier suits may be filed. Unless the Supreme Court -gives the Adamson case precedence' over many others already assigned for hearing be ginning Monday, it. is, considered doubtful whether it could be reached much- before the' middle of December, even should the court agree to advance the hearings. Che court recesses for the Christmas holidays on December 22. "Whether attorneys7 representing the railroad ' brotherhood's "will appear in the Supreme Court hearings or file briefs is still undetermined. In the test case local chairmen of brother hood -unions were made defendants by the recervers of the Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf railroad, but the injunction suit as to them was dismissed by Judge Hook, leavmg District Attorney Wilson, of "Western Missouri, as the only de fendant. "'' "' ' Nine additional, cases were placed to day xn the Supreme Court's call for De cember 4th. They were recently passed and now are re-assigned. Among them are the "Railway - Mail Pay Divisor" icases, involving railroads' claims of PLACED ON DOCKET $85,000,000 against the government, and cases involving :rrght of the United Mine Workers and other labor unions to operate in West Virginia,- ' where F-ederal ..Judge Dayton -held the .mine workers, to be an. illegal organization. -.-. : .. t. .:.-, .-v -- TO TAKE FURTHER STEPS IN BEHALF ' OE THE BELGIANS New Representations Will be Made to Germany Against Depor tation of Civilians. PROTEST TO BE STRONGER Ambassador Gerard to See the President Today Cabinet Discusses Situation, Washington, Nov. 28. New represen tations are about to llbe made to the German government by the United States concerning the deportation of Belgian civilians for labor in Germany. What form they shall take has not been determined, buit it became known to night that the administration is se riously exercised over the matter and is preparing for its next step with great deliberation, hoping to make it effective without straining the relations between the two countries. American 'Charge Grew, at Berlin, recently took up this question infor mally with the German foreign office and at the State Department's direction said that almost unfavorable impres sion was being created in neutral coun tries, particular in the United States. His efforts were unavailing, however. The foreign office in a note now on its way to Washington replied .that depor tation of the Belgia'ns was a military necessity and was beingvCarried on in accordance with international law gov erning the treatment of populations in conquered territory. . .. " Discussed by Cabinet. The charge's preliminary report, the latest appeal for aid from the Belgian government and other information in the hands of the State Department, were discussed at today's cabinet meet ing, and Secretary Lansing remained with- the President, t 'qrv n$te.rly half., as hew after-tit 'Othm&irVieiCt - Ambassador Gerard, here for final conference before returning to Berlin, and Col. E. M. House also talked over the plight of the Belgians during visits to the White. House and the State De partment. It was said later- that this situation had made such a profound im pression that for the present at least it had displaced in interest the submarine issue. Ambassador Gerard did not see th President, but at Mr. Wilson's request deferred his plan to leave for New, York and will see him tomorrow. Regard less of whether it is decided to instruct Charge Greg to act further immediate ly in the Belgian-matter, the ambassa dor will be given the President's per sonal views on that subject, as well as concerning the latest developments in submarine warfare. Task a Difficult One. ' State Department officials admit that the government is.proceeding with the greatest difficulty in endeavoring to help the unfortunate Belgians . They say that virtually the only basis for representations is the broad ground-of humanity, and that it is almost impos sible to establish an uncontrovertible statement of the facts in the case. The refusal of the British government to grant safe conduct to Count Tar nowski, the new Austro-Hungarian am bassador'to the United States, also was brought up at today's cabinet meeting and . dissatisfatcion f was generally ex pressed. Any step that may be taken by the United States will be delayed until full consideration has been given the British note on the subject. BELGIANS DEPORTED TO GERMANY WITHOUT FOOD! Paris, Nov. 29. Owing to reports from deported Belgian civilians now in Germany, says a Havas dispatch from Havre, the Belgian government . has been compelled to arrange for the send ing of bread rations to their deported fellow countrymen. A beginning has been made bythe dispatch of 12,000 ra tions to the internment camp at Sol CContinueo. on rage Ten.) 500 Employees Get 20 Per Cent.

RAID OH E NGL AND RESULTS 111 LOSS OF TWOZEPPELINS Their Destruction Causes Great Enthusiasm in the North east Coast Towns. BOMBS DROPPED Otf LONDON Four Persons Injured and Only Slight Material Damage Done Says Statement. London, Nov. 2S. The destruction of two Zeppelins that participated in last night's air raid caused great enthus iasm in the northeast coast towns which had suffered so . often in pre vious air raids. This morning the naval airman who arrived to report the success of the British in their fight against the airship which was making, her way homeward when she was brought down, was given a tremendous ovation by the townspeople, who car ried him shoulder high through the streets crowded with cheering people, while . the eireens of the shipping ihrieked triumphantlj-. Regarding the report that the Ger mans used an aeroplane disguised as British or one captured from the Brit ish for today's raid on London, a mem ber of the government said in the house of commons that he had no in formation on this point. SIX BOMBS DROPPED ON LONDON BY AN AEROPLANE London, Nov. 28. -Flying at a great height a German aeroplane this morn ing passed over London and dropped six bombs on the capital according to an official statement issued this after noon. Four persons were injured and only slight material damage, it is ad ded, was caused. An admiralty an nouncement late last night says: -rThe:C6tn;nodete lot Dunkirk has been Informed bythe French authorities that they brought down an aeroplane at 2:15 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, carrying two naval lieutenants and with a large scale map of London aboard." BERLIN SAYS ALL BUT TWO AIRSHIPS RETURNED SAFELY Berlin, Nov: 2S, (via Sayville). A German official statement on "the air raid on England says that one airship was shot down and that another did not return. The statement reads: "In the night of November 27-28 sev eral German naval airships successful ly bombed blast furnaces and indus trial establishments in middle England. At several places conflagrations were observed. "An airship was shot down by the enemy near Scarborough and another has not returned;' so it must be con sidered lost. The remaining airships returned and landed." SAY LIFTING EMBARGO WOULD HAVE ALL-IMPORTANT EFFECT Juarez, Mex., Nov. 28. Carranza offi cers here say frankly that the lifting of the American embargo of ammuni tion would have an all-important effect on the campaign against Villa. "We would pay stiff prices in gold right now if we could ship it across the boundary," said an officer of high rank today. "The whole issue depends on whose ammunition lasts longest. "If General Trevino has withdrawn from Chihuahua City it is solely be cause of lack of ammunition. There can be no other explanation."

Railroads of the Northwest have agreed to help re lieve the country-wide car shortage by putting about 16,500 of their ore cars in the coal carrying service. This was announced here tonight by the Ameri can Railway Association's conference committee on car efficiency. The com mittee also announced that all roads having on their lines more box cars than they themselves own, had been ordered to move the excess, loaded or empty o lines, who have lower num ber' of cars than they own. . The committee made public a state ment .of box .car .lopations on Novem ber 1, showing large excesses on some roads and deficiencies on others. The Pennsylvania headed the list of the former .with 30,963 more cars than it owns; the Southern had an excess of 8, 496, and Chesapeake & Ohio 6,556.

WL USE ORE CARS TEUTONS IN RUMANIA DRAW THEIR FORCES NEARER THE CAPITAL UNITY INCREASED BY RUMANIAN NEWS London Takes Note of Fact That Von Mackensen's Army Has Advanced 30 Miles in a Day. SITUATION IS ALARMING Official Reports of Central Powers, Credited in London, Greatly In crease Anxiety as to fate of BucharestQuestions Asked. . London, Nov. 28. With the forces of the Central Powers in possession ac cording to German official reports, which hitherto have proved accurate with regard to the recent events in Rumania of Curtea De Arges, an im portant rliaway terminal 90 miles from Bucharest, and Giurgiu, on the rail way 40 miles southwest of the capital, anxiety as to the fate of Bucharest is greatly increased. Field Marshal Von Mackensen's cap ture of Giurgiu Shows that his army, has advanced SO miles in a single day. Further, a Bulgarian official communi cation claims that the Danube has been crossed near Lorn Palanka and Vidin and the town of Kalafatu, opposite Vidin, captured. Danger -Foreseen. Nothing is yet admitted by the Ru manians of these enemy advances, but it is assumed that the Rumanians are continuing their orderly retirement to ward the line of the Argesiu river. A danger, however, lies in the possibility of this retirement "not being effected quickly enough to prevent an attack on their flank from Von Mackensen's forc es at .Giurgi-q-, ixojxx which epjQmt there fs 'Dqth" rail and direct communication to Bucharest. It is impossible to doubt that the situation- is viewed with, the greatest misgivjngs.-. The . question is being frankly asked whether the accession of Rumania.' tq.. the. Allies cause had brought strength br'weakness, wheth er Russiahdwrenerd;the assistanca which migt havVr-been- expected from her and whether the Allies might not have shown more initiative in attack from Saloniki; whether the collapse in Rumania is due to any lack of unity in the Allies' plans of strategy or whether it is due in. large part to Rumania's hasty invasion of Transylvania. Rumania Confident. On the other side of. the account if has been noted that continued confi dence is being displayed in Rumanian military and political circles where the suggestion that Russia has not render ed all possible aid is warmly :cpudiated and the Rumanians appear fully con vinced that it will not be long before the great efforts Russia is making will bear effective fruit. They point out that the Germans have failed to secure any great number of prisoners or guns and that the position of the Rumanian armies in the matter of guns and supplies is dally Improving, thanks to the Allies redoubled efforts. All Eyes on Dobrud ja. In the meantime all eyes are turned to Dubrudja where it is hoped. Lieuten ant General Sakharow, commander of the Rumanian army, may succeed in re trieving the situation by a counter move against Von Mackensen's forces in that quarter and in the northern (Continued on Page Ten.) , SPEW CLARK TELLS HOW TO LIVE CHEAPER Says Buy Some Laying Hens and Eat More Cereals. He Proposes to Urge Passage of Feder al Law Prohibiting Killing of Veal Calves Talks of Em bargo Bill. Washington, Nov. 28. "If the high cost of living bothers you, don't wait for governmental remedies, but buy some laying hens and eat more corn products and rice," says Speaker Clark. Not that he does not think the govern ment can help bring down the price of foodstuffs by legislative or other ac tion, but he pins greater faith in more direct methods. Thus the speaker expressed himself today on the high cost of living prob lem, which he regards as one of the greatest facing the nation. Referring to Representative Fitzgerald's embargo bill, he said: . "There may or may not be a chance for Mr. Fitzgerald's proposed bill. It might do some good; I don't know." The speaker declared that he will urge passage this year of a Federal law prohibiting the killing of veal calves. Such a measure failed at the last session. He also expressed the view that the egg speculators violate , (Continued. on Page -Two.) Appreciable Gains Made by-lhe Armies Invading the Country From Four Sides. ALT VALLEY FAR IN REAR Rumanians Seem Seriously Men aced in the Orsova and Turnu : , Severin Sectors. , 2 IMPORTANT TOWNS TAKEN- Divergent Reports Made of the Fighting in Mecedonia. Operations of the Teutonic al lies in Rumania have brought them appreciably nearer Bucharest and they are still progressing from the north and west, and the south and the southwest. The northern bank of the Dan ube in Rumania, extending west- -ward from Giurgiu on the railroad south of Bucharest to opposite Vi din, a short distance from the ! Serbian border, now is in the hands of the forces of th Central PoSr ers. The capture of points in this region opposite Vidin, Lom-Pal-anka and Rahovo, by the Bulgar ians, would seem seriously to men ace the Rumanian troops from the Orosva and Turnu Severin sec tors, who were reported several days ago to be" in retreat to the southeast. Alt Valley Left Behind. The occupation of Giurgiu brings the line of Field Marshal von Mackensen t within 37 miles of Bucharest on the south, while the capture of Curtea Do Arges, 80 miles northwest of the capi tal, evidently has cleared the Topolog sector of Rumanians and given the in vaders the railroad to the important town of Pitesci, the junction of the line running from Kimpolug to Bucharest. In the center the Teutonic allies are still driving eastward, having left the Alt valley far in their rear. An unofficial dispatch from Bucha rest says the retirement of the Ruman ians is proceeding in perfect order to ward a new front already settled on for defense. Divergent Claim as to Macedonia. The operations in Macedonia are somewhat beclouded by reaspn of di vergent reports. Berlin says that north of Monastir renewed attacks by the Entente. Allies failed, while the Serbian war office claims that in fighting along the entire front the Serbs at several points made advances of several hun dred meters. Sofia, on the other hand, asserts-that attacks on Hill 1050 and the village of Paralovo, were put down by the Bulgarians and Germans, as likewise was a British offensive in the Vardar region south of t'he village of Bogoroditsa. On the front In France and in the Austro-Italian theatre, nothing but bombardments have taken place. South of Dvinsk, on the Russian front, artil lery duels have been in progrses. Con siderable activity also has developed fn the region of Riga. In the Carpa thians the Russians have begun anoth er attack against the Austro-Germana and fighting now is proceeding there. Turks Occupy Two Towns. Petrograd admits that the Turks have occupied the towns of Adramed and Koshishogly, south. of Van, Turkish Ar menia. The American steamer Chemung ha been sunk in the Mediterranean off the coast of Spain by a German submarine. The crew was landed. Eight other vessels, two each flying the British, French, the Greek and Norwegian flags, have been sunk, either by mines or tor pedoes. Their total tonnage was about 20,000. In addition, the Danish steamer Villemoes has been captured by the Germans. Two more Zeppelins, which were raiding northeast England, have been brought down in flames by anti-aircraft guns. The crews of both airships per ished. A German airplane has dropped bombs on London. Nine persons were injured. The material damage was slight. SEVERAL THOUSAND FRENCH TRANSPORTED BACK HOME Berlin, Nov. 28, , (via Sayville). The following item was given out for pub lication today by the Overseas News Agency: "According to promises given to the inhabitants of Lille and other towns In occupied territories in France, the fol lowing numbers of persons have been transported back there: "Up to August 1, this j-ear, 1,993 per sons, who were either incapable of working or whose removal from their homes had proved especially severe.
