HAS WAITED 10 DE-
TERMINE STRONGER
If the Allies Gain Prepon-
derance of Numbers IN
Balkans, the Rumanlan
Statesmen Intimate Their
Country Will Join Forces
with the Enemies of Ger
many

Iondon. Nov. 26.--Greek affairs having
emerged from the uncertainty which LOT
some time has been potential menace
TO the allied campaign in the Balkans
Rumania's problem now commands chiei
attention in Europe. Whatever German
efforts have been made in Rumania, IT IS
believed here that they have been largely
offset by the presence of large Russian
forces close to the frontier and the now
rapidly developing Russian preparations
with Odessa as base, from which no
other interference is possible than her
immediate entrance into the Balkan con-
Aict.
Emperor Nicholas is said to have prom
ised the appearance of troops in Buiga-
ria within a week. There are increasing
indications that this campaign will be
developed via Rumania, and 1t Is re-
ported that conferences are now being
held TO obtain the latter's consent. Ihis
consent, it is clearly intimated by Ru-
manian statesmen, has depended on
whether the allies gain preponderanee
OF forces in the Balkans. Rumania gives
evidence of being impressed strongly by
the concentration OF 100000 Russian
troops at Ismail and Reni near the bor-
der.
Fab of Gorizia Seems Imminent.
No important achievement is recorded
on either side in Serbia since the German
announcement of the fall of Pristin and
Mitrovitza. With only a small strip OF
territory left TO defend, serbia's leaders
declare she is unbeaten and can still har-
rass the invaders. The Bulgarian com.
mander, on the other hand, says King
Peters troops will be put out Of action
in few days.
No official report had reached London
at noon to-day of the capture Of Gorizia
by the Italians, although the fall Of the
city is regarded as imminent. This i'm
portant system of fortiheations com
manding the railway lines connecting the
upper and lower Isonzo and called the
kew 20 the Austrian defenses 10 the north
has been the objective for which the ltal-
ian army has been struggling for several
months.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1915-01-27

All the railroads of Iowa ask is that
the local traffic shall bear it's just pro-
portion of the expenses OF operation,
taxes and maintenance-and in asking
this they are pleading not merely for
simple justice, but upon this depends
the character of service which they
will be able to furnish the public from
this time forward. There is no magi(
art by which railroads can perform
the impossible-and in the final analy-
sis the people get the kind of railroad
service they pay for, just as they do
in other realms OF merchandising.
Conditions Must Be Faced.
In his opinion given in the eastern
rate advance case, Commissioner
Daniels of the Interstate Commerce
Commission referred to the fact that
the maximum freight and passenger
rates established in many states dur
ing the last few years means that, With
the ever increasing cost of operation,
the railroads of the country are facing
a condition which means that they can
neither give adequate service to the
pubic or make such showing upon
their properties as will enable them
to borrow the millions necessary tor
future betterments and improvements.
In conclusion he says it is a situation
which must be faced, not trined
with"
Once more we wish to impress upon
the reader that the railroads should
not be confused with private enter
prises which are able to advance their
prices to meet the eXigencies of the
hour. The railroads are bound hand
and foot and can charge no more than
the law says. Suppose that through
some statute the state OF Iowa should
say to the farmer, that regardless of
the cost of production or the volume
of yield, ,he shall sell his corn at not |
to exceed SO cents per bushel Or
that through some similar
