himself with the greatest draining pro-
ject in the world. While no official
announcement has been made either
by the governor-elect or by Colonel

order after the removal or destruc-

the other properties of possible milf
tary advantage to the invaders.
The enormous oil reservoirs at
Ploechti were drained as soon as it
became evident the Roumanians would
have to abandon this important CEN
ter. Dispatches from the Roumanian
front say that in executing their diff
cult retreat the Roumanians maneu-
vered skillfully.
BY spirited rear guard actions along
the road from Ploeehti to Buzeu they
succeeded in delaying General Won
Falkenhayn's advance long enough to
defeat the thanking movement which
if successful would have closed the
way TO Moldavia and resulted in the
capture of large part of the Rou-
manian army. The way to Moldavia
is still open and the Roumanians pre-
senting an unbroken front have the
opportunity OF retreating in good or
der, without danger of enlightenment.

Wilson today approved the action of
the army court martial in sentencing
Lewis O. Gardner of the New Mexico
militia, to dishonorable discharge and
a year in prison for his failure to obey
the federal call for border duty last
June. The prison sentence is remit

The war department officials regard
the decision as important because Of
warning it gives the more than ten
thousand enrolled guardsmen who
have not appeared for federal serv-

government. Army officers say the
failure of this number to appear is a
serious impeachment of the national

GERMAN FOREIGN SECRETARY
SAYS SUBMARINE PLEDGES To
UNITED STATES WILL BE KEPT
DR.. Zimmerman Asserts
That Orders to U-Boat
Commanders Are Clear.
BY ASSOCIATES PRESS.

Berlin, Dec. 13.-In an interview to
the Overseas news agency DR.. Alfred
Zimmerman, secretary of foreign af-
fairs, declared that Germany would
keep her pledges to the United States
regarding the submarine warfare.
He said, Orders to submarine COM
manders are clear and strict in this di-
rection. / can affirm with absolute
certainty that no German submarine
has Intentionally attacked a mer-
chairman without warning and with
out giving all on board ample time for
rescue"
Dr. Zimmerman's declarations were
made in discussing an impression
made in Germany by the recent publ
cation of an Associated Press dispatch
outlining the American attitude to-
ward Germany and Great Britain.
This dispatch had said the subma-
rine situation with Germany and the
United States was most disquieting
problem. while the relations with the
entente were declared to. be less clear
cut and less dangerous, but perhaps
more nagging.
DIR. Zimmerman said that many
Germans questioned Americas neu-
trality on this score. He asserted
that British submarines had sunk Ger
man merchantmen without warning
and 1t seemed as though the entente
was trying to create among neutrals
the wrong impression concerning Ger
many's intentions and actions.
He said the allies are trying to per-
suade the world that Germany would
! disregard her pledged word. j
