Rumania's Retreat.

Rumania's Pennsylvania campaign is
apparently drawing to close with a
series of defeats. Soon following the
battle at Hermannstadt, as a result of
which the Rumanians yielded the pass
and city, comes the evacuation of Kron-
stadt, with further retreat by the Ru-
manian army. From Bucharest comes
the statement that these movements
were necessitated by the appearance of
overwhelming numbers of Austrians in
their front and on their tanks. Doubt
less the withdrawal was the part of wis
dom, as there would have been no ad.
vantage to Rumania or her allies in a
persistent attempt to hold the advanced
positions in the face Of force that
would probably have overwhelmed the
invaders. Thus on the north Rumania
has accomplished to date practically
nothing save perhaps in the disarrange-
ment Of the -Teutoaie campaign plans

The New Field of Submarine Work.

Irrespective of the international ques-
tions involved, the appearance of Ger
man submarine in western Atlantic wa
ters, with a wholesale destruction of
| merchant vessels off the American
coast. introduces factor of serious dan-
ger to trade between the United States
and the allied countries. British and
French shipping especially will be dis
astrously affected by this sort of SUBJ
marine warfare if it is continued. In
the waters around England and France
the commerce destroying submarine op-
crates under a certain degree of risk
owing to the proximity Of warships sta
toned especially in the channels of
trade to safeguard merchantmen. But
on this side of the Atlantic there is no
such naval force for the protection of
commerce in the open sea, and to the
extent that they are capable of main
tanning themselves so far from home
bases the German submarines, if the YES
sci now operating off the Massachusetts,
coast is accompanied by others, and if
more are at hand or are to come, will
have relatively free field of operation.
The only positive limit to their activi-
ties is the difficulty of obtaining fresh
supplies of fuel, ammunition and food.
If tenders are maintained outside Of
the three mile limit there is no inter
national law to prohibit the operation
of these warcraft. If such tenders or
mother ships obtain their supplies, how
ever, from American ports, the inter
national law is violated 1t may be as
snmed for the present that such tenders
do not exist, and that the submarines
if there are two or more of them-are
depending solely upon their original
supplies. It may be part of the Ger
man policy to send these craft on long
voyages to strike as many ships as pos
sible off the American coast, and then
return to base if they can. Judging
from the work of the last few hours,
nine ships having been sunk within one
day, such a campaign will be more ef-
fective, if Germany has enough sub
marines for this purpose, than opera
tions in the closely guarded waters Of
the eastern Atlantic and the North sea.

dollars annually is the estimate of the
brotherhoods. Some of the railroads
put the figures at sixty millions, and
others at hundred millions. The low
est figures are large.
But when the question is taken up
again, discussion will not, cannot, be
confined to the money phase, important
as that is. What about arbitration
What about the right of railway brother
hoods, or organizations of any kind,
capitalistic or laborite, to paralyze the
country for their benefit What steps
should be taken by Congress to prevent
repetition of so extraordinary per-
formance as that which this town wit
messed in the closing days of the re-
cent session?
In his interview Leader kitchin
speaks for the House, and. of course, de-
clares his own position. He is opposed
to assessing the people through the
means of higher freight rates for the ad
by Congress to the railway brother
hoods. But suppose the President is re-
elected and recommends it to Congress.
Will Mr. Kitchin lead the opposition he
announcess He has differed with the
President on other questions, but never
to the extent of organizing opposition
in the House.
This railway tangle' may develop
into far-reaching embarrassments. No
matter which party wins, an effort will
be made to untangle the tangle. The
matter cannot be left in its present
shape. 1t is the fruit of panic pro-
duced by a hold-up, and hence repre-
sents neither information nor reflection
about what is of intimate national con-
cern. Infinitely greater interests are at
stake than those of the railroads and
the pay of their employees.

Fire Prevention.

Ii everybody were strictly careful to
protect their own interests and those of
| others there would be no fires. If in
addition to observance of the rules and
laws written for the safeguarding of life
and property all persons were scrupulous
in their avoidance of risk and regular in
| their inspection of residential and busi-
ness properties the fire departments of
this and other cities would stand idle
in their houses.
Fire Prevention day, which Washing
ton is today observing, is national eff
fort to establish these truths in the
minds of the people. Fire is viewed as
a preventable visitation, and the pur-
pose of the nation wide annual occa-
sion is to direct attention forcibly to
this fact
Common sense should be the guide in
all matters pertaining to fire preven-
ton. A little thought will demonstrate
the needlessness of the risks that are
run in almost every case resulting in a
blaze. Sometimes it is the fault of the
owner or manager of the property on
which it starts. Again it is the fault
Of contributory agents, strangers, pass
ersby in the street who throw matches
and cigarette and cigar stumps aside
with careless disregard for possible re-
suits. And yet the premises on which
such cause starts blaze cannot be
said to be efficiently safeguarded. Trash
is allowed to accumulate in which such
spark will ignite fire. Cellar and
Easements are neglected. Wires are
seldom inspected. The well established
fire-causing conditions are not sufficient
ly taken into account.
Every business man should make or
have made thorough examination of
his premises at least once a week to
make sure that fre-inviting conditions do
not prevail. Every householder should
do the same. A few minutes spent thus
weekly by every person responsible for
the care of property, followed by cor
rective works in the disposal of trash
and the repair of disarrangements Of
wires, etc, will make the best possible
insurance against loss.
Every day should be Fire Prevention
day. Every day the principles of care
and good management should govern
every person as a safeguard against
blazes. These occasional agitations of
the question, however, are necessary to
instill into people the habit of attention
to the detail of regular inspection and
personal carefulness in the handling of
FIRE in all forms.

and possibly material addition to the
casualties. In the south, however, the
entrance of Rumania into the war has
proved of advantage to the allies in the
opening of way for Russian troops to
strike at the Bulgar line and thus to
apply pressure upon the armies of the
central powers from the north, while
they are being steadily pressed from the
south by the forces based on Saloniki.
Austria may regain all of the Transyl-
vania territory and possibly take some
of Rumania, and yet face serious dis
advantage in the entrance Of Rumania
into the war by reason of the necessity
to fight another foe and the opening Of
Russian access to the Balkans.
