dacy for Congress, was reason
ably sure that | would be the only
candidate for the office from my

the race and he refuses to do so
Since that time, Mr. Cunningham,
from Prentiss County, has entered
the race. Considering the advan

tants, Messrs. Gambler and Gun

decided to withdraw from the

shall always feel deeply indebted
to them for their loyalty to my

M'DANIAL TO
GO ON STAND


ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Nov. 27. -
When court convened today, C. f.
Strop, leading counsel for the de-
Tense in the Oscar d. Mcdaniel
murder case, declared that the
cour officers had refused to give
the defense service in issuing sub
poenaes.
Judge Ryan warmly resented
the imputation.
Bernard Goedeker testified OF
day to having seen two men stop
in front of the Mcdaniel home two
nights before the murder. This
witness opened new line of de-
tense, the defens claiming 1t will
not seek to produce two men seen
near the scene of tn murder two
nights before the crime was COM
mitted. Goedeker broke down
several times under the cross-ex-
animation of Atty. Gen. Parker.
Oscar McDaniel's aged mother,
sat at his side during the fore
noon, holding her hand affection
ately on her sons shoulder.
The defense asked for the recall
of Caroline Berghoff, one of the
states star witnesses, for further
cross-examination.
Mcdaniel himself is expected to
take the stand either late this aft
ernoon or tomorrow forenoon.
The defense -announced subpoe-
macs for several new witnesses
and the case probably will con-
tinue at least another week.

RUMANIA
MAY YET
BESAVED


LONDON, Nov. 27.-News from
German sources caused a renewal
OF hope here today that Rumania
may, after all, extricate herself
from the precarious position in
which her Wallachian forces have
been placed by Won Falkenhayn's
concededly brilliant strategic
campaign.
OF prime basis for this hope
was the utter lack in all the Ger
man official reports of any claims
of large captures of prisoners or
war munitions.
1t is known here that the Ru-
manians succeeded in removing
all of their artillery from Craiova
before the city fell into the hands
of the enemy.
bad Roads Delay.
One other source of hope was
the report from German CORE
spondents at Won Falkenhayn's
headquarters that further prog
ress beyond the Alt was DELAYED
because Of the condition of the
roads.
There was no disposition, how
ever, to disguise the fact that Ru-
mania is still perilously placed.
IL It were summer weather and
IL the terrain were not rain soak
ed or muddy from nalf frozen
slush, the crossing of the Danube
by the Teutonic forces | nan effort
to turn the flank of the Ruman-
ians, might prove successful.
Afrmen Arrive.
Reports here say that a num-
Der of allied aviators have reach
ed Bucharest. 1t is believed also
that Russia has by this time pour
ed heavy reinforcement into Ru-
mania, probably including O large
number of cannon.
The greatest handicap which
the Rumanians have had was their
lack of aerial scouts to seek out
and report the sort of encircling
movements which have formed the
basis for Won Falkenhayn's sue
cess. Their artillery also has
been outranged by the Germans.
AS near as can be estimated
here from official statements on
both sides, the battle line in Ru-
mania now runs approximately
from the Transylvanian Alps north
Of Campolung southwcstward to
q point a little north of Curtea dc
Arges and thence 10 the Ait river.
probably somewhere about Romi-
u-Valcu.
