manians in Full Retreat

The brief dispatches in which the fall
of Bucharest was announced left in doubt
to-day the fate of the armies which were
resisting the advance of the Teutonic in
vaders. 1t was assumed in most quar-
ters, however, that there was no last
stand before the capital and military
commentators point to the probability of
the actions just prior to the capture OF
Bucharest being fought merely with
view of delaying the advance of the Ger
mans and aiding in the escape of the
main body of Rumanians, The capture
of Ploeschti, a railway junction SO miles
north of Bucharest, however, may have
blocked the retreat of part of the Ruma-
nian forces.

FRENCH WAR SECRETARY
CONTINUES IRON POLICY

PARIS. Jan. THE iron policy
inaugurated by Gen. Gallieni when
he succeeded AIillerand as secretary
CT war, continues and many are the
persons in soft berths who have had
their maps rudely disturbed by the
man who defended Paris in the early
days of the war.
An efficient officer cannot occupy
a civilian and a military post at the
same time. That being Gen. Cal
lienis ruling. the directors of the
three state theaters found them
selves IN a quandary. Being ali
three commissioned soldiers, the
gentlemen in question had perforce
TO decide whether they intended re-
tanning their present managerial po-
sitions or don the sabre.
Col Albert Care of the Coincide
Franchise, at once chose the latter
course. Capt. CHEMIST, who has run
the opera Comique with no little
success, finds that his services are
better employed theatrically. and
this decision has its raison d'etre.
seeing that his age would, in any
case. secure for him but a secretar-
ial appointment.
The same step has been adopted,
and for similar reasons, by Lieut..

war will allow these officers TO re-
tain their rank and title, thus giving
