BUCHAREST DOOMED
 PREDICTS TEUTON HIGH COMMANDER
Falkenhayn Tells Corre- spOndents Rumanians Are Fighting Bravely to
 Stop Invading Armies

Hermannstadt, Pennsylvania Novem- Der 26.-(To the Associated Press via Der lia and wireless to Sayville )-At a luneh- con which Gen. von Falkenhayn, com Rumanian front, gave today to small group of neutral correspondents, he re- marked to the Associated Press repre- sentative that although nothing in this world is so certain that one dare predict anything for safety" Bucharest was an uncomfortable place for anyone to be in when the Germans got their guns trained cn it.
 Although Gen. Won Falkenhayn de- clined absolutely to commit himself to a prediction, he intimated this might oc- cur and even questioned the military ad- vantage of Bucharest with it's thousands to feed when the same result might be accomplished with gradually decimating the Rumanian army, he left not the slightest doubt in the minds of his hear CTS that he considered it possibility of the immediate future
 Gen. Won Falkenhayn was reticent as to the probable length of the Rumanian cam paign on the ground that continued spring-like weather might hasten the end, While even one sharp cold spell might lergthen it materially Although refusing to assume the role of prophet, he ap- peared supremely confident of the ult- mate result. He paid the Rumanian sol diers the highest compliments upon their desperate bravery and discounted stories of cowardice or inefficiency on the part of the Rumanian officers

LOSSES ARE HEAVY

Chihuahua City, November 25.-General Trevino is prepared for another general assault, although the indications today were the enemy would not attack again. At the time this message was dispatched by courier there were no bandits to be seen west of the city. Gen. Carlos Ozuna's cavalry charges in this direction completely freed this sector of Villa forces.
 The losses on both sides are reported to be heavy, as some of the fighting dur ing the past 24 hours has, been almost hand to hand encounters. The wounded who fell outside of the city could not be rescued from the ''no-man s-land' beyond the ~fireline trenches because of the fir ing by both the bandits and the gov ernment forces. Rescue parties are ex- pected to be sent out tonight to bring in the wounded and bury the dead. Women are serving as volunteer nurses in this and other hospitals of the city.
 The troops on both the bandit and the government sides appear very tired after the three days of almost continu- ous fighting.
 A force of cavalry has been sent out from Guerrero to pursue Rodigo Quevedo and the Murgua brothers, who have been operating northwest and west of Chihua- hua City.

Kentuckian Making Fight Against Alabamian for President Pro Tempore
 to Succeed Clarke
By HIGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, November 26.-(Special.)
 Bearing out predictions made in this correspondence Senator James of Ken lucky looms into prominence as the chief opponent of Senator Bankhead of Ala bama for the honorary position of pres ident pro tempore of the Senate.
 Probably with the consent of the Ken }tuckian, local republican newspapers have presented him and his cause in the In. ost favorable light. According to these newspapers, Senator Bankhead is too sstaunch an adherent to democratic doc ltrine and too lacking in passion for so- lcalled progressive legislation to command sths support of the administration.
 NO WORD FROM WILSON
