Germany has had her own particular
way of interpreting recent political
events in h e
Germany Thinks leading nations
of the entente.
Peace Is Nearer. T,ers ,s row
ing belief throughout the fatherland
that The entente troubles at home
coupled with the overrunning of Ru
mania will be the means of bringing
about an early end to the struggle.
The German press. almost as a whole.
has devoted a great portion of its space
to discussions of peace during recent
days. and there seems to prevail a
well defined opinion that the successes
of Germanic armies in the Balkans are
sure to bring about the goal which is
desired by Germany more than any
other particular thing at the present
juncture-a cessation of the war. 1t
is believed in Germany that the allies,
torn by domestic troubles, will be 50
discouraged by their failure in the
Balkans that they will be thoroughly
convinced of the futlity of further con-
tinuing the bioodshed.
This view of peace as expressed in
Germany, however. is not held in al
lied countries. for on every hand, from
the highest governmental and military
leaders down to the humblest man in
the street, there is confidence in the
eventual outcome. and though all real
iZe that Germany may have the upper
hand at the present moment. they de-
clare this situation will not continue
for long once the allies get their
houses in order and start the vigorous
campaign expected of them under gov
ernments imbued with the spirit Of
initiative.
AS stated In previous discussions Of
the European struggle. there are many
reasons why the allies wish to con-
tinue the struggle and there are none.
except the heavy losses sustained why
they wish to give in and treat with the
Germans on the terms. principally
geographical, which would be exacted
under the prevailing conditions.

BY OLIVER OWEN KUHN.

Adversely ofttimes is the mother of
success. Though the period through
which the nations of the entente today
are laboring is extremely discourse ging
there are reasons to believe they event
ually will emerge the stronger for the
trials and tribulations of the hour. The
greater allied countries. with cha grin
and a degree of humiliation not eN-
ceeded since they saw Belgium over
run and dismembered. have been forced
to witness during The past few days
the capture of the capital of one of
their small allies by enemy armies;
their diplomatic policies. in SO far as
Greece particularly is concerned. have
been laid open to scathing denuncia-
ton: the acute domestic crises which
have arisen in Russia, France and Eng
land have been sorely vexing and have
opened up decidedly pessimistic predic-
tions as to the chance of eventual sue
cess in the present struggle. When
the storm clouds have rolled back and
home conditions satisfactorily adjusted
as there is every reason to believe
they will be--the entente possibly will
be stronger than at any time since the
wars inauguration.
During the past week the world has
witnessed the downfall of Premier
Herbert H. Asquith of England. In re-
cent days it has witnessed the growing
disaffection and conflict between the
Russian dunna and the members of the
goveI nmeat. and during the past fort
night France has been taking steps
toward the setting OF her house in
order.

soon made the Rumanian positions on
the Argechu river untenable. Although
the Russians threw great reinforce
ments into the fray to the south OF
Bucharest and temporarily forced the
retirement of the Germans advancing
from Lake GretZa, their success m thlf
direction was short lived. for the con-
tinued successful advance Of the Ger
mans to the north made the Rumanian
and Russian positions ones or extreme
hazard and as consequence they
quickly withdrew and Joined the other
Rumanian armies in retreat
The advance of the Germans in the
south was aided by the successful
operations of the Germans toward
Ploechti in the heart of the Rumanian
oil fields and on the railroad line which
IL was presumed would be used by the
Rumanians when they withdrew to the
northward in the direction of MoldaVia
The capture Of Pioechti by the Teutons
however, would preclude the possibility
OF the Rumanians using this route.
Dispatches have not made it clear
whether the Rumanians retrcating from
bucharest passed through Plocchti be-
fore the important position was seized
If they did not then they were forced
to use the railroad running to Ftesci.
opposite Cernavoda. on the edge of the
Danube marshes.
The operations of the Germans in the
region OF Ploechti were decidedly ad-
vantageous 10 the cause of the Teuton,
inasmuch as German commanders were
able to cut off the retreat of Rumanian
armies operating in the regions of the
Predeal and AltschanZ passes. Berlin
declares that thousands OF enemy forces
on this section of the battle line have
been forced to surrender. The Russians
ana Rumanians are continuing their
retreat in the general direction OF
Moldavia and. according to Teutonic
sources. this retreat is a rout, the
Rumanians surrendering vast amounts
OF booty in their effort to escape the
rapidly advancing foe.

5000 PENSION FOR CHILDBIRTH
WHEN MOTHER WORKS
BY Judge Henry Neil

mothers dependent on their own
wages for support shall receive a
pension of $40 month for two
months before maternity and three
months after the child is born will
be introduced into the legislatures of
the q states now operating the mo-
theirs pension system!
Judge Ben Lindsey has agreed to-
write the amendment and introduce
it into the Colorado legislature and
will submit it to the legislatures of

The main object Of this amend
ment is to relieve mothers of work
during at least part of the. period
when the child needs the nOUrish-
ment that the mother would not be
able to give if it were necessary for
her to work.
Judge Lindsey went to Berlin to in
vestigate the mothers pension sys-

pension plan and found it both eco
nomical and highly humane.
The plan would decrease the num-
Der of weak children that would 9TH

The expense of maintaining insti-

Wall Street, NoveB,ber IS.
Trading was characterized by de-
gree of extravaganza and activity rare
ly surpassed in any Of the previous
bull movements of the last two years.
Aside from recognized basic conditions
of highly favorable character, there
were no developments TO explain the
movement. which received much Of its
impulse from confident public and
the usual professional sources.
There we're scarcely any exceptions
to the upswing, which comprehended
an unusual number and variety Of
issues, many of a purely speculative
character. A better inquiry for rails
also served TO benefit that division,
though advances in that quarter were
relatively nominal and not well main
tanned.
More than score Of stocks achieved
new maximumS, foremost among these
being Gulf States Steel common, which
rose - points 10 lH3, while the Second
preferred jumped 80 points to 1870 A
large part of this gain was surrendered
later. Other high records included
Lackawanna Steel at 1906. Soss-Shef-

coppers, such as Anaconda, Chino and

In these and kindred issues gross
advances ran from fractions 20 3 and

were irregular, but mainly higher, Chi
