RUMAN|ANS
MOUNTAIN FORTS
Peaks are Strongly Fortified,
80 Teutons Make Slow
Progress.

comparatively slow progress Of the
Austro-German forces since capturing
the passes south of Kronstadt, in
Transylvania. is explained by the
Tageblatt's correspondent at that front
as due to the fact that the Rumanians
occupy strongly fortified positions in
the mountains, every peak Of which
during the past two years has been
converted into q fortress with batteries
built in at every available spot. Good
highways have also been constructed
between the different peaks. enabling
the Rumanians to reinforce quickly
threatened points.
Owing to this situation, says the
correspondent, the invading forces
have found it necessary to execute
wide hanking movements over dtf1-
cult mountains.
Nevertheless they are making stoa-
dy. though slow progress.

MCDONALD f. WHITE.

That large family which constitutes the
Boston public has lost faithful and beloved
member through the death of Mcdonald E.
White (Harvard $50, killed last week in an
automobile accident at Newport, Me. For
many years the book room of Houghton Miff1in
Company on the ground floor of Park street,
had been the scene of his daily ministrations
to the public. 1t was through this room that
the men and women of Boston who read books
but do not habitually write them knew best
the publishing house with which Donald White
was associated. Whether they knew his name
or not they found in him invariably courte-
Gus, considerate gentleman, assiduous in meet
ing, sometimes even in making happily known
to themselves, their manifold wishes. 1t was
rare good fortune for firm of publishers to
hold the services of representative so richly
qualified for his work. He had read the books
which passed through his hands. and knew all
that they might hold for another intelligent
reader. 1t was therefore the equally rare
good fortune of the public to know that. what
ever else might fail. they might count surely
and always upon those sympathetic. enlight-
ened offices of Donald White now 80 sorely to
be missed.
In the large circle of his personal friends
he held an unique place, never to be filled.
