London. Dec. 2t.-The Teutonic move
ment against southern Bessarnbis and
the attempt TO clear the lower Danube
70 allow the passage OF submarines
into the Black Sea gained further
ground to-day. To the north. in the
Carpathinns, the Russians won some
small successes.
The Msckensen armies cleared the
Russians from the town Of lsakishe,
on the eastern bank of the Danube
opposite Brails, and increased the
pressure around Toltcha, where they
are trying to win the bridgehead and
force the southern fork Of the Danube.
Immediate success AZ Toltcha would
still leave them in Rumanian territory,
with another branch of the river 10 be
passed before reaching Russian soil.
There is heavy fighting in Northern
Wallachis, where Msckensen. after sew
oral days wait for the heavy artillery

guard. has renewed his drive toward
Ramincu-Sarat and Brails.
In Galicia and the lower Carpathians
there is still considerable activity, with
the Russians on the offensive. In the
tight for the pass near klrlibabs they
have seized a ridge.

CHILD ON WAY

GIRL BURGLAR
She Is Seized in House and
Temptress Flees-Second
Arrest Made Later

Mary Mulcahey. thirteen years old,
tripped along Thirteenth Street, Brook
lyn. yesterday, her face aglow with
Christmas thoughts, the consciousness
that her new fur coat and neckpiece
we're quite bewitching, and the dignity
Of rectitude, for she was going TO con-
fession. The spire OF the Church OF
the Holy Family. near Fifth Avenue,
was in sight when a gypsylike little
creature beckoned TO Mary from a
doorway.
For a bare instant Mary hesitated;
she. recognized the other little girl i'm
medistely as one whom she had been
warned 10 avoid. but whose prankish
attraction was doubled by that ban
She crossed the street.
Almost Immediately Msry's COM
panion pointed 70 255 Thirteenth
Street, a house which two men and a
woman were just leaving.
Now you'll see something" said the
other little girl. and delicious tremors
electrified Mary.
Boldly they approached the base
nent door. and Mays friend produced
a bunch Of keys. with one Of which she
opened il. Inside, Mary accompanied
her with an explorers zeal while they
rummaged in cupboards and drawers,
heaping a vast array of articles on the
dining-room table.
The sound OF key in the lock trans
fixed MARY. She stood helpless while
the other girl dashed through the
kitchen and out the back door. The
front door opened and admitted NJ.
ONeill. whose son Frank occupied the
house.
Mary spent Christmas Eve in the
Fifth Avenue police station waiting
for her father. who lives az 81 Fif.
teonth Street, 20 bail her out. She said
that she WAS going 70 get everything
she wanted for Christmas. and had no
idea what impelled her 20 enter the
house. She gave the name and address

that 4 tiny glove which they found re-

With the British Armies in France,
Dec. PA day Of sunshine rarity
in December on the British front-re-
Gently caused a temporary revival Of
activity among the aviators, presenting
a spectacle which a few years ago
could have lived only in the magma
ton.
Out OF the distance there came early
in the day a series Of black specks'
which gradually grew until they took
the form Of German sirplanes. From
points Of telescope observation their
approach had been signslled long be
fore even the first tiny dots were Wis
ible to the naked eye. British guns
were ready and British airplanes we're
already climbing above the ruins of the
shell-torn Flemish town to challenge
the invaders.
"Archies" Hurl Shells at Foe
While the German machines we're
still OYER their own lines the Brit
ish anti-aircraft cannon, known as
"Archies." began TO speak. There was
a sharp. angry crack. A moment later
a shrapnel she'll burst INTO white
puf-ball Just in the path Of the on
coming sirplanes.
A. frst tn. white feck Of powder
smoke seemed no larger than PIN
head. but il soon spread until 1t ap-
peared as an exaggerated toy balloon
and foated as lszily against the sky.
Then there was another puff, and
then another. until IL seemed tsat hsii
q hundred "Archies" must be gong
and the sky became fretwork OF white
smoke balls. each one marking spot
where a breaking shell had showereo
its leaden bullets upon the fast trav-
cling Germans. Plugging in and out
among the exploding shrapnel. the ap-
proaching airplanes left trail Of these
Aecls and powder pufs in their wake.
In and up. through the danger zone
Of their own guns, the BRUSH AZ SEla' S,I >
climbed eagerly TO the fight. The DIS,
ant hum OF the hostile meteors couid
now be heard. mingled with the louder
bee-like drone Of the English machines,
and between the scarcely perceptiole
intervals Of the Arches fire came
tbe s+acc,to notes OF the machine guns.
Tire British airmen had opened fire be-
fore reaching the level OF their adver-
saries.
Germans Turn and Flee
Vow the British machines began 70
close In from various directions and
N. invaders turned suddenly and
started for their own lines. Their
somewhat precipitate retreat was
marked BIZ the same trail OF shell IRE
"a had been their approach. The
British aviators pursued, but having
in thisi Instance the distinct advantage
Of height and diving start for home,
the Germans temporarily got away:
This was the first phase Of the day :
battles in the ara prelude 70 the
later fighting, when two German
machines came crashing TO earth IN
spinning nose-dives.
The latter-dsy machines have such
wonderful stability that they can only
be brought down By direct hits, killing
the pilot or piercing the petrol tank
in which latter event the airplane gen
orally catches fire and falls in blaz-
ing spiral. Archie" shells often blow
airplsnes out Of the line by making
many punetures in their wings, but

The German reception Of the Presi-
dents note shows plainly the feeling
OF the country toward the pledge. Tho
Germans cry that Wilson is conniving
with the Allies in the final fishing for
an excuse 70 launch a gigantic sub
marine campaign.
However, though the German U-bosts
are operating on such vide area tina.
il is impossible for the British 70 get
them by their former methods, STILL
several submarines which cleared frori
German ports this month will not re-
turn home with their original crews.

Of merchant ships by the Allies.
Dispatches from London to The Trib-
une have already told of the British
plans to provide bigger guns for defer-

only decided on after IL became clear
that Germany was paying no attention
70 the fscts in the case-that she was
treating all Allied ships as II she

she was carefully letting alone those
which actually did carry guns. The
new guns are being put in as rapidly

Of the Germans to find good excuse

What America Says, She
Means, Declares Presi-
dent at West Point
SOUNDS WARNING
AGAINST MILITARISM
President Covers Ground
Recently. Covered by
Candidate Hughes

West Point, N. Y, June IA Presi-
dent Wilson, making his first address
since the presidential campaign began,
yesterday discussed preparedness, mill
tarism, Americansim. the causes of the
war in Europe, the Monroe doctrine, di-
vided allegiance, and the ideals of Amer
lea.
He declared it is the present impera-
alive duty of the United States to be
prepared, adding Mankind is going to
know that when America speaks she
means what she says"
The president said the United States
should not be a clustering nation, ma
ton with "a chip on its shoulder" but
] a calm nation which will withhold its
hand as long as possible and strike only
| to conquer.
The presidents address ran through
the almost entire list of subjects dis
cussed by former Justice Hughes in his
telegram accepting the Republican nom
nation, and he declared that the United
States is ready to join the other ma
tons to see that the kind of justice it
believes in is given to the world.
Shaking his finger emphatically the
president told the graduates OF the mill
tary academy and large audience that
nobody who does not put America first
can be tolerated.
He added, however, that true Ameri
cans should set a good example.
The president declared the present war
did not come by accident but that it
had to come.
The United States wants nothing from |
Europe, he said, and there is nothing she |
wants which she must get by war.
He sounded warning that no man
can tell what the next day will bring
forth, in the worlds events.
The word "Americanism" was used by
the president for the first time in recent
addresses.
He constantly referred to the West
Point graduates, TO whom he was speak
ing, but referred more to national and
problems. He warned the
graduates against militarism.
At one point he touched on pan Amer
canism and the Monroe doctrine. He
declared this country was ready to swing
its glorious power into the field of ac-
ion whenever liberty and independence
md political integrity are threatened
anywhere in the western hemisphere"
The presidents speech was frequently
Interrupted by applause and he was
iheered as he concluded.
