WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES IN FRANCE. Nov. 20. (By the Associated Press.) While the Third American Army is making its way beyond the German frontier, other units slowly are going back to their old training areas. A greater portion of troops still is in the battle areas, but many detachments have reached the camps established last year where there are ample can tonments and hospitals and where large supplies of fuel are available. Here the men will be made as comfortable as possible in well-heated huts. These camps are located along lines of rail way, which simplifies the transport and supply problems. After their hard ships In the Argonne, the troops will be happy in their new surroundings and will have plenty of food.

Price to Consumer for-Thanksgiving Product to Be About 4 5- Cents a Pound, Say Wholesalers. With Thanksgiving turkeys certain to be high in the country this year re tail powltrymen will find It an unpop ular move to charge consumers an ex cessive prom. Thomas G. Farrell, Assistant Federal Food Administrator for Oregon, has issued a statement giv ing the Food Administration's views as to what margin the retailer is entitled to. The statement says: "For the next two weeks dressed tur keys will be an Important factor in the poultry market. The price of fancy dressed turkeys at present cannot be fixed with ' any exactness, as values will depend altogether on the supply reachlng this market within the next few days. The Food Administration wants to be fair with dealers In this article, arid at the same time the public expects to be safeguarded. The Food Administration considers that any fig ure in excess of five cents per pound over cost for "cash and carry" atores or seven cents per pound over cost for "service and delivery" stores will be unreasonable. The daily press in its market quotations each day will pub- lish prices such as retailers are com pelled to pay. The wholesale price of choice dressed turkeys today is 40 cents. If this price continues to the end, as the wholesalers believe will be the cast, the price to consumers should be 4 to 47 cents for the Dest birds. .
