to Bulgaria demanding the immediate
evacuation Of Serbia.
Rumanian troops are reported to
have broken through Rothenthurm
Pass into Pennsylvania and are advanc-
ing upon Hermannstadt, one of the
two principal cities Of the Austrian
province coveted by Bucharest. This
report, however, is contradicted in a
semioffcial dispatch from Berlin, stat
ing that the Rumanians have been de-
fcatcd in their attempt to cross the
Transylvanian Alps.
Petrograd reports that the three
separate drives of the Rumanians are
proceeding methodically. These drives
are directed against Rothenthurm,
Tomos and Tolgyes Passes, all three

German troops are being rushed to
the threatened Hungarian frontier and
with the appointment of Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg as Chief of Staff and
Field Marshal Won Mackensen as Teu-
ton ommander-in-chief in the Balkans,
the GermanS are expected TO put up a
stubborn defense against the combined
Russo -Rumanian offensive.
Progress for the French troops west
of the Vardar River is reported by
Paris. The repulsc of Bulgarian at
tack by the Serbs west Of Ostrovo and
artillery duels along a large section of
the south Balkan front are also an
nounced. The French War Office
states that all Greek forts, from Drama
to Kavala, are now in the hands of the
Bulgarians.
The Greek situation is rapidly ap-
preaching a crisis. The resignation of
the Zaimis Cabinet is expected. The
Greek Minister to Berlin will be re-
ceived in audience by Chancellor Won
Bethmann-H -Hollweg today. Upon this
conference, it is said, depends the
policy of Greece, which, Allied sources
report, in view of the continued ad'
vance of the Bulgarians in Greek terri
tory and the entrance of Rumania into
tie conflict, will lead into the active
participation of Greece in the war or
the side of the Entente.

moment, the Austrian newspapers charge,
the declaration Of war was in the hand
OF the Rumanian Premier
It is declared here that Rumania was
forced into the war by Russia. on Sunday
afternoon, following his conference with the
Premier, the Austrian Minister at Buch-
Arrest called upon King Ferdinand The
King declared that he did not want war
and hoped the Crown Council would de-
eide in favor Of neutrality.
The report OF the British wireless service,
that the German Minister at Bucharest
pleaded with King Ferdinand with tears
in his eyes to prevent war is called ridicu-
lous by the newspaper here and only
worthy Of cheap melodrama"
Newspapers In some neutral countries
take the view that Rwnanla was virtu-
ally an ally of the Central Powers un-
til she declared war. The Vienna Fremen-
blatt, In commenting upon the situation,
says:
1T can be said that until 8 o'clock Sun
day night Rumanla was our ally"
The Berner Bund calls II "a dark war
OF conquest"
The Neue zurlcher zeitung says;
humania has been receiving all her
coal from Germany and Austria. She has
also received food from the Central Pow
ers. Without Austria's help Rumania
would have long since been a Russian prov.
ince, and now the first shot in the war
against Austria has put her in that po.

one hears much at the present time OF
the woman war-warker At the same time,
one hears much of the woman Stacker. Man
has himself to thank for the woman Stacker.
Long ago he took her work out OF her

approved. The more lazy and luxurious
a man could keep woman, the prouder
he was of himself. SO was bred the para

This was the typical English attitude in
pre-war days.
There are two types of woman slackers-
the woman who has not the slightest de-
sire TO work and the woman who imagines
she is useless and unwanted.
The former type is hopeless. One can

THE Value OF TRUTH

Truth in business Is just as important
as truthfulness in everyday life; truth
creates confidence, establishes good
will and builds a reliability that will be
wrecked by the storms of competition.
Through three generations people
have learned to place reliance on the
advertised words of SCOTS Emulsion,
because they are untanished, unex-
aggerated truisms about a household
remedy of real and actual worth.
The popularity of SCOTS Emulsion
is increasing as intelligence advances,

DEMOCRATS FACING.
HARD TAX PROBLEM.
Announcement of McAdoo Din
ner to House Leaders
Arouses Interest.

with the announcement that Secre-
tary OF the Treasury McAdoo Is to
give a dinner to the Democratic lead
ers of the House Saturday night, at
which there will be discussion of rev.
enue legislation, shipping legislation,
and other important problems before
Congress, interest has quickened in
the question of how the increased rev.
enue needed for preparedness and
other, expected legislation Is to be
raised.
The Administration finds itself con-
fronted with a difficult situation as to
revenues, inasmuch as there Is every
prospect that If the President tries to
force the recommendations in his mes
sage for check tax. automobile, ana
gasolene taxes, ami pig iron and steel
taxes, he will split his party In Con-
gress wide open. Mutterings of revolt
are more and more audible daily and
members are openly threatening to
bolt II caucus rule is tried.
To add to the interest felt in the
revenue situation, majority OF the
Democratic members of the Ways and
Means Committee are out IN inter-
views in which they declare against
revision OF the Underwood tariff un-
til the end of the war. This does not
apply to extension of the sugar tar
lff. but to the proposals that the tar
iff ought to be revised now so as to
DiOth VI SuiopSoh ScouS
after the war
The attitude Of the ajority of the
ways and means Democrats makes u
clear there Ia no real prospect OF higher
tariff rates at this time and that al,
ditional revenue need not be anticipated
from that source.
One thing that makes the revenue SIT
uation the more troublesome Is that
the foes of preparedness are doing
what they can to muddy the waters.
They perceive that the more opposi-
ton Is created to higher taxes the
more difficulty there will be getting
the army and navy expanded.
Increased talk of heavy taxes on large
fortunes Is heard. II Is certain there
will be a strenuous effort to hit at the
men who have great incomes. The
movement for this Is becoming daily
more perceptible and many favor also
the inheritance tax. The bond issue
plan grows In favor. but inasmuch as
The Panama bonds would have to bear
n higher interest rate than now au-
thorized It Is doubtful whether the
needed legislation can be put through
to cover this point.
