In Rumania, the forces of the Cen
tral powers are driving appreciably
nearer Bucharest Already almost
encompassed on the south and south
west by the invaders. the capital APP
parently is being rapidly approached
from the west and northwest, with the
Rumanians and Russians nowhere
able to stem the tide The encircling
movement Of the northwest from the
regions of Tergovistea and Petroslta
is dangerously threatening the town
of ploschti, and the only railroad
running from Bucharest except east.
Indications are that tha Teutons soon
will be at the doors Of the capital.
Russians DO Little.
In the northwest, from the Carpa-
thians to the Moldavian frontier re-
gion, the Russian offensive IS making
little progress. Petrograd announces
the capture of another range OF
heights on the Moldavia front and ad-
mits the recapture by the Teutons in
the wooded Carpathian sector of a
height south of Voroneska, Berlin
says the Russian attacks everywhere
have been without avail.
On the Macedonian front east of
the Cerna river, the Serbians north OF
Grunishte and Budimirtsa have taken
additional fortified positions from the
Bulgarians The Bulgarians in this
region are said to be rctreating.
Artillery duels and various small
attacks by infantry continue on the
western front in France and Bel
gium.
The Austro-Italian and Russian war
theateTs have been barren of import

The Italian steamer Palermo has
been torpedoed and sunk off the
Spanish coast, according to advices
from Madrid. The steamer is said
to have had twenty-five Americans on
board. one sailor, reported to have
been an American, died as result OF
wounds.

Washington, Dec. o. - President
Wilson'S address to congress today
was marked by a woman suffrage
coup in the galleries-the first real
show Of organized militancy in the
capital-and by a great demonstra-
ton of CONGRATULATIONS to the prest-
dent upon his recollection, in which
many republicans joined with the
democrats.
Acknowledging the prolonged
cheers and applause which greeted
his entry to the house, the president
launched into his address, reviewing
recommendations for railroad legisla-
tion, a corrupt practices act, and had
passed TO his recommendations for a
broader government for Porto Rico.

The suffragists said afterward it
was their protest against the presi

suffrage for the men of Porto Rico,
While he did not mention their own
cause in his address.

suffragists sat smiling and unper-

When the Joint session was over
the suffragists filed out unmolested by
the police, who said they had no or
ders than to prevent any further in
fringement of the rules Of the house.
The banner remained a trophy with
sergeant-at-arms.
AS it turned out, the women had
their plans laid with precision and
sprung their coup almost on the sec
ond. Evidently in possession of an ad-
vance copy Of the presidents address,
they had timed the document at the
speed they expected he would read,
and anticipated he would reach the
Porto Rico section in eight minutes.
Miss Mabel Vernon of Nevada, who
heckled the president here at his
American Federation of Labor speech
last July, and who smuggled the ban
ner into the house gallery under her
coat today. kept time and gave the
signal for the unfurling of the banner.

Before the police could get to the
gallery the suffragists' press agent
was busy handing out canned" re-
ports Of the affair, replete in detail
giving the names Of the militants and
interviews with each.
The concensus Of their opinion was
summed up by Mrs. Abby Scott Baker
Of the Congressional union, who de-
clared the incident was expressive Of
the Indignation that women feel az the

WoMEN'S PARTY OPENS
MEETING IN CHICAGO

Chicago, June 5.-The Women's
party, meeting in it's first conven-
ton, struck it's initial snag today
when 1t tried to crowd $500 DELE
gates representing dozen million
women into the Blackstone theater,
which has seating capacity of only
1900.
Before noon, following half day
of. unexpected registration, no one
doubhted that the three-day conven-
! tion which is held to impress the Re-
publicans and Progressives with the
women voters power would call for
numerous overflow meetings.
Women voters from the eleven
"free" states were given the first
prominence today and will continue
to hold first place in the convention
tomorrow and the day following.
Free" women had free access to
the main floor of the theater. Other
women crowded into the balconies
and attended the overflow meetings.
Miss Alice Paul, national chairman,
opened the meeting at 2 o'clock this
afternoon but did not remain long as
presiding officer.
The rules of the Woman's party say
that the permanent chairman must
be selected from one of the eleven
states in which women are allowed
to vote. Up to the time of the bal
loting no one had any idea who the
first temporary chairman of the
Woman's party would be.
The principal business of the after
noon was the naming of committees
and reports from the eleven equal suf-
frage states delegates.
"A reception has been planned for
this evening.

M'GARRY PLEASED
over STAND TAKEN
BY C. B. BUCKMAN

0Iittle Falls Transcript, Little
Falls, Minn., June 2.-P. H. Nc
Garry of Walker, state senator from
the SID district, was in the city this
morning, coming here expressly for
the purpose of taking up a few mat
ters with G. B. Buckman regarding
the development and reclamation of
lands in Beltrami, Cass and Aitkin
counties if the local man is again
returned to congress. In speaking
OF his interview with Mr.. @Buckman
the Walker man said: ...--
Il have been supporter of Buck
man for some time, but since visiting
him this morning I am more enthu-
siastic than ever to have him re-
turned to congress- His election will
mean much to the people of the
northern counties. If you will re-
member, l introduced a resolution in
the state legislature at the last ses-
sion which asked for federal aid in
regulating the waters of the upper
Mississippi and Leech lake. This
resolution was passed, but the ma
tional body has taken no active steps
to aid the people of my territory.
With Mr.. Buckman in congress we
will be assured of active and not
passive aid. He has given me his
personal pledge to work for federal
aid for the betterment of the roads
in the district and especially will
this be felt in Cass, Beltrami and Ait
kin counties. He has also pledged
himself to work for the better regu-
lation and lowering of the waters in
the Mississippi and Leech lake, thus
reclaiming some 100000 acres of
valuable lands on the tax rolls of the
counties mentioned above and enab-
ling settlers to secure homes at a
small cost. Mr.. Buckman's stand
means more than the average person
realizes to the residents of my dis
trict and I feel very elated I can as
sure you to go back home and tell
the people what has been pledged
me-"

Fans Present.

Bemidji won it's second game of the
season Sunday afternoon at the new
athletic park when the Park Rapids
nine was defeated by a score of 8 to
0. The visitors never had a chance
to score, not man being able to get
past second base When hits meant
runs for the Park Rapids team, the
Bemidji offensive frightened up and
every rally was checked.
Twirls Good Game.
The feature of the game was the
twirling of Kannerberg. He allowed
only two hits, one of these being a
scratch infield single. He struck out
IL men, nine of these being secured in
the first four innings.
Diedrich at shortstop also played
a good game, handling all his chan
ces without bobble He also secured
two hits.
For Park Rapids, Bell and Mas
played good ball.
Scored in First.
Bemidji commenced scoring in the
first inning. With two men on bases
and two out, G. Bailey hit grounder
to the first baseman who instead of
putting out the man at the base and
retiring the side, tried to cut off the
score at home and threw wild. E.
Bailey then brought in two more
scores by two-base smash over the
left field fence.
There was no more scoring until
the sixth inning when Bemidji made
five runs on two hits, two bases on
balls and two errors. In this inning
Russell was relieved on the mound
by Williams, a colored player
Park Rapids threatened to score in
the ninth inning, having two men on
bases, but failed to deliver the neces-
sary hits when required.
About rs fans from Park Rapids
motored to Bemidji to attend the
game.
The attendance at the game was
about 300.
