WAR SUMMARY

The operations of the Teutonic al lies in Rumania have brought them appreciably nearer Bucharest and are still progressing from the north and the west and the south and the south west
 The northern bank of the Danube in RuTania, extending westward from Giurgiu, on the railroad south of Bu charest, to opposite Vidin, short dis tance from the Serbian border, now is in the hands of the forces of the cen tral powers. The capture of points in this region opposite Vidin, Lom Palanka and Rahovo by the Bulgari ans would seem seriously to menace the Rumanian troops from the Orsova and Turnu Severin sectors who were reported several days ago to be il retreat to the southeast.
 The occupation of Giureiu brings the line of Field Marshal von Mack ensen to within 37 miles of Bucharest on the south, while the capture of Curtea de Arges, eighty miles west of the capital, evidently has cleared the Topolog sector of Rumanians an6 given the invaders the railroad to the important town of Pitesci. the june ton of the line running from Cam pulung to Bucharest.
 In the center the TeutOnic allies are still driving eastward, having left the Alt valley in their rear. An un- official dispatch from Bucharest says the retirement of the Rumanians is proceeding in perfect order toward . new front already selected for de fense.
 The operations in Macedonia arC somewhat beclouded by reason of di vergent reports. Berlin says tha north of Monastir renewed attacks by the entente allies failed, while tn, Serbian war office claims that il fighting along the entire front, tn, Serbs at several points made advanc es of several hundred meters.

In the matter of stransfer from one
post to another. the consular officer
encounters another loss. The govern
ment pays him cents a mile for the
distance he has to GO, This seldom
suffices to cover the expenses of one
man travelling alone. and in the case of
a married officer. who must transfer
family and household effects, it means
an outlay that may put him consider
ably in debt. For example. an officer
who was transferred from Washington
to Hongkong paid out $500 in travelling
expenses for himself and his, wife. OF
this the government reimbursed only

The House bill proposes to remedy
these difficulties by providing a fund
to be used by the President for the ad

expenses. and are for the payment of
actual travelling expenses. On the
whole. the consular service seems to be
coming in for more earnest considera-
tion than it has received for many
years. and important reforms will
probably result.

SWIMMING WILL BE TAUGHT.
Boys Of Public School Fairgrounds
to Be Given Instructions.

Life-saving in the water and swim
ming are to be taught under the aus
pieces of the public school Fairgrounds
this summer While the grounds them
selves are not equipped with swimming
pools. the teachers in charge are to
take selected boys to the municipal
bathing pool.
Boys who know how to swim are to
be taken to the pools. where Frederick
Bruner is to give a series of lessons
for their benefit. Following this the
boys who know how to swim will be
used in instructing their young friends
who are not familiar with the art.
Safety first" is an idea that has pre-
vailed at the school Fairgrounds for a
number of years. Last year the chill

of getting on and off street cars.

with our foreign relations a leading
political issue, and the American peo-
pie aroused to consciousness of their
place as world power. our dipio-
matte and consular. service is being
subjected to a close scrutiny and over
hauling by both houses of Congress.
The condition of the consular serv-
ice especially is the subject OF a
great deal o. discussion in both the
House and the Senate. and it is ex-
tremely probable that reforms will
be enacted into the next diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill which will
make our consular service not only a
more efficient instrument for the pro-
motion of American business in for
eIgn countries, but far more at
tractive profession to the American
citizen who wants to serve his coun-
try.
The consular service is the real
pioneer of foreign trade-the machin-
cry by which American business finds
its way in other lands The diplo-
mats-ministers. ambassadors and their
assistants--are the personal repre-
sentatives of the government in its
political dealings with foreign coun-
tries. They are appointed by the Pres
'dent. and act as his personal repre-
sentatiVes in the exchange of mes

ments.
