The virtual completion of the Testonit
conquest of Little Wallaehia is indicated
by the Berlin announcement. The re-
treat of the Rumanian forces is assumed
to have been cut off with the recent cap
ture by Won Falkenhyn's armies OF Cra-
iowa and with it the only main line OF
railroad eastward.
Pushing eastward from the jul valley
after their capture of Craiova, the Aus
tro-German forces are approaching the
Alt valley, along which the Rumanans
apparently have elected to make their
next stand. simultaneously movement
was made, presumably by Bulgarians,
which may prove of notable Importance.
Bucharest reports an attempt by hos
tile forces to cross the Danube at Zem-
nitz, southwest of Giurgiu. This move,
if successful, would mean cutting in far
behind the present Rumanian line along
the Alt.
On the other hand, the Russians have
made a counter move in Dobrudja. Pet
rograd announces they are pushing south
and have reached Lake Tashaul, IL miles
north of Constanza. and have crossed the
kartel river. Berlin announces battle
in this region, declaring that the Rus

War Shut OH Ge1many's
 Supply 0f American Buffer

Washington, D. C., Feb 4.-"Th e worlds butter market, one of the youngest of the great international markets, has been turned topsy-tur- Vey by the European conflict" begins bulletin today by the National Geo. graphic society, which sketches one of the interesting phases of economic chaos brought about by the new war geography. Tt remained to most re- cent times to bring butter, and other perishable goods, into channels of in- ternational trade. The development of modern technique, especially that of refrigeration and the industrializa- tion of cities, regions, and of whole countries arc the causes that have op- erated to make butter one of the most important commodities of world com merce. Before the war, Europe's butter dishes were filled with the products of Siberia, Argentine, Aus u alia and New Zealand It is esti- mated that more than ,000 pounds of butter were sold in inter national trade every year.
 Today, however, all channels of the butter trade have been disorganized. It is reported that one of the most se- rious shortages in the Central powers is that of fats and oils America, Si- beria and Western Russia supplied the Germans with butter in normal times, but these sources have been largely dried up by the war Germany itself, produced considerable of it's home supply, and since the outbreak of hostilities, has endeavored to in crease it's production. In the past year, it produced 960O 0OOO,OOO pounds of butter, and imported about 11O,000,- 900 pounds. It consumes normally, 1 1,070,000,0 900 pounds a year.
 Little Denmark possesses the greatest butter export, and, in sense owes this distinction to the powerful competition of American grains in the seventies, which forced the Danes to turn from bread production and to concentrate their efforts upon the pro- duction of butter for the bread Den mark exports more than 1S0,0OG, ,0O0 pounds of butter yearly, and it's fancy buffers are the finest made. It, also, acts as middleman for great quantities of Finnish and Russian butter. The small northern kingdom has sold in creasing quantities of butter cream, and milk in the German market since the outbreak of the war.
 AS an lnlnedlale result ol IHe ol- berian railway, Russia took an as- founding stride in the production of this commo mooity becoming in a short time mort important than it's produc- ton of furs and gold. Russia became one of the first butter-selling countries in the world Special butter trans became a significant feature of Rus sian railroa ding, and Windau, Petro- grad, and Riga became butter ports o1 international renown. At the time ol the wars outbreak, Russia was selllne 16O, O,OO0,0O0 pounds of butter Tn the

IF THIS BE WAR;

With Canada's wonderful gothic totally destroyed by fire, presumably started by the explosion of a bomb, the civilized world today stands aghast at the trend Of calamity. No one no one will know for some time and perhaps the world will never know. In the heat of imagination men will be prone to blame the catastrophe on the war. This may be and it may not be so. It is hoped the war has nothing to do with it, for while Can ada is vitally interested in the strug- gle going on, her fighting men are Ottawa. To bring the war in re- mote territory is going farther than civilized nations should permit. It is nothing more nor less than com
 batants in street brawl carrying their fight into someone's front par Tor.
 And yet the United States can learn valuable lesson from the fire in the
 province of Ontario and this whether it was started by a foreign spy, or like Topsy, just growed." Our own Capitol Building at Washington should be better guarded. It was not so many months ago when the maniac Frank Holt planted bomb there and wrecked part of the build ing. Had this explosion taken hold in the same rapid fashion manifested by the fire in Canada, we would have now a beautiful set of ruins at Washington and Congress might be assembled in some armory or con vention hall. Granted these things 1 are the outgrowth of war and the ef- l feet that war produces on the narrow 1 little minds of men, then no nation | under the sun is safe. The flames of Europe are rapidly lighting the world. l The letting of rivers of blood has
 turned mems souls from white to red. No crime under high heaven is too
 dastardly no risk too, great for those
 who let passion run away with them
 in 8 crisis such as this. It is well l then to be on the lookout. Better
 vigilance now than be caught off ! guard later.

A MUTUAL REQUEST"

Yesterday the treaty of reparation to Columbia was reported out by the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela- tions by vote of eight to seven and while we are not made to apologize for our requirement of the Panama Canal we are joined with the people of Columbia in sharing mutual regret" all of which is 8 nice way of
 backing out of a very ignoble situa
 ton. The United States. and Colum-
 bia mutually regret having recognized
 the Republic of Panama and obtain
 ing therefrom rights to construct and
 operate the canal. Where hitherto
 the Foreign Relations committee de-
 cided the United States must apolo-
 gize for having practically confs
 cated the Panama Canal, now it lets
 us down easy with a regret jointly shared by the people supposed to have been wronged while at the same time it reduces the compensation from $25, 100000 to $15,000,000. It has come to pretty pass when the United States, always looked upon as the most honorable of nations. would take advantage of a smaller one. This Is the one bad chapter in our dip
 lomatic history and although Theo- dore Roosevelt has done lot ot explaining through his magazine ar tioles he has never yet made it clear how he allowed his Administration to become embroiled in what looks like shady deal" fIf the United States has committed wrong to Columbia, | as all facts seem to show, it is the only wilful wrong perpetrated oy this nation on another and it must be wiped off the books, no matter what the terms may be.
