NEW YORK, Jan. ls.-Ql a. m)-
Russias penetration into Transylvania
along the main roads to Budapest is an
nounced by Petrograd today. simultan-
eously with reports from Bucharest that
large forces of Germans are moving
through Hungary for second invasion
of Servia. II seems, therefore, that a
race is in progress Of development be-
tween the Austro. Germans and Russians
as to who shall first develop serious
offensive in the southeastern war zone.
The Russian emergence from Bukow-
ina through the Sirlibaba Pass. gives the
Slavs a base Of operations about 20O
miles due east of Budapest. This is a
long distance to go at the present rate
OF progress Of the contending armies.
The Germans, apparently, have counted
ON the Russians being so serio- ly ham
pered that it viii be possible to develop
a second Servian campaign while at the
same time preventing Hungarian ter
ritory being overrun.
If the Slav advance is greatly de-
layed, the Germans will be entitled by
rules of strategy to attempt the re-
capture Of Degrade: but a quick
movement of the Russians into the
/ Hungarian plain will foil the second
Servian campaign as il did the first
There is a double problem now fac
ing the Austrian and German bor-
ders. Hungary must be kept satisfied
with the measures for her defense
and Roumania must be indirectly
menaced, so that she will not enter
the war on the side of the allies. The
Russian advance through Transyl-
vania threatens Hungary. and at the
same time is an enticement to Rou-
mania. The Roumanians want Tran
, sylvania as their share of the war
loot, but If they lag behind until the
Slavs capture the province, its
eventual Incorporation in the Rou-
manian kingdom will be remote.
While Russias present offensive is
arousing Roumanian ambitions. a
German campaign in Servia would
tend to hold the Roumanians back
for fear the allies may not win the
war in the east If Roumania were
to side with Russia. and if eventually
the Austro-German forces were "a

DEMURRER HALTS Damage
SUIT INVOLVING chicken

There was a real chicken case for
trial in Superior Court today The
chicken, however, was a dead one. The
case came before in argument on demur-
rer. filed in the case of Annie Potter vs..
the Richardson and Robbins Company.
L. Irving Handy and Henry Ridgley are
counsel in the case
In November, 1918, the plaintiff was
employed in the canning factory OF the
defendant company at Dover and her
duty was to draw OF prepare the carcass
of chicken and then cut IL into paris
to be canned. The allegations in the narr
are that the plaintiff had a scratch on
her little finger and that in drawing"
the chicken she suffered blood poison
ing as the result Of the alleged putrid
condition of the fowl
The defendant company domurred 10
the narr, claiming that the plaintiff
was negligent and did not exercise due
care to avoid danger and therefore can
not recover damages.

ceived reply stating that he would
be willing to hold conference with

cept Monday II is expected that the

few days.
