Gains Made on Three Sides
Against Stiff Resistance in

RUMANIAN PROVINCE IS
CLEARED OF DEFENDERS
No Activity of Importance Re-

rsr MORNING JOURNAL s-'e'sl ,sAsro wlEsl

Pressing in upon southern MoldaHa
from three sides, apparently win al
their vigor. the forces Of the central
powers are making progress against
stiff resistance. on the Transylvanian-
Moldavian frontier, in the region
north of Rimnik-S -Sarat, and in the
Dobrudja, opposite Braila, Berlin re-
ports, the Austro- German and Bull
garian troops are advancing.
A new thrust seemingly has been
started by the Austro-Gertnens alon1
the Moldavian frontier, thus adding
to the difficulties Of the Russians and
Rumanians, already hard pressed
from the south and east, Several
lines of new positions and l,4OO pris-
oners were taken by the invaders IN
the first day of their offensive into
Modavia from the west, which may
have for its purpose the cutting off
of the retreat of the Russo Ruman-
ian troops now operating along the
southern Moldavian border.
Aling the river Kasino, and west of
Covesha, PetrogGad says, Rumanian
troops were driven back nearly a
mile. A desperate battle also is re-
ported as taking place near Sesmezo,
near Ocaua, and within the Moldavian
boundary. North of Rimnik-Sarat,
all attacks were repulsed, according
to Petrograd
Field Marshal Won Mackeusen has
reached Dumitresti. about twelve
miles northwest of Rimnik sarat, and
northeast of that town, troops under
his command have captured several
villages. The number of prisoners
taken by this army totals l,4OO, in
to cannon aud machine guns.
Clean Sweep in Dobrudja.
The Rumanian province Of Dobrud-
ia now is almost cleared Of defenders
as Berlin says Ratchelu, northeast of
Macthin bridgehead, across the Dam
ube from Rraila, has been conquered
Ratchelu is on the Danube.
West of the Meuse, in the Nerdun
region, the forces of the German
crown prince have repused attacks
by French troops against the new
German positions on lie Mort HommC,
where second and third line trenches
were entered by the Germans and
22O prisoners and seven machine
guns taken. Paris admits a slight
success for the Germans in this sec
tor, saying that one trench south Of
lie Mort Homme was entered by the
attackers. Other efforts to advance
between the Meuse and Avocourt and
in front of both lie Mort Homme and
Hill 304 were repused by the French.
Except for some engagements be-
tween patrols around Brody, in Ca
licia, no activity is reported from the
eastern Macedonian and Ausu o-hal-
ian fronts. British and French troops
have carried out successful raids on
the west front at various points.

Washington Dec, DENOMINATION
of the conferences of the Mexican
American joint commission, without
regard to the question of withdraw
ing American troops from Mexico, is
proposed by General Carranza in his
message refusing to ratify the Allan
tic City protocol. Coupled with this
suggestion, however, is a new propo-
sal for the recall of the Pershing expe-
dition, and declaration that such ac-
tion by the United States would per
nit adjustment of all remaining
questions within a week.
There were indications tonight that
the American members of the COM
mission might be disposed to comply
with the request for further confer
ences, on the gound that the United
States had nothing to lose by doing
so. 1t was officially stated that moth
ing yet had occurred to alter the pol
icy of the administration toward Mex
leo, and it is generally understood
that so long as northern Mexico is in
it's present unsettled state, Pershing's
men will stay where they are.
A study OF the Carranza communi-
cation was sent to President Wilson.
Secretary Lane communicated with
Dr. ]. r, Mott and Judge George
Gray, the other members of the
American commission, and then am
nounced that they would meet here
Tuesday to determine whether fur
ther conferences shall be held.
Would Lay Aside Protocol.
Carranza points out in his reply
that there was nothing in the corre-
spondence that led to the creation Of
the commission, nor in the cereden-
tials and instructions delivered to its
members that would preclude discus
sion Of the many other subjects which
the commission made incidental to
those agreed upon in the protocol
In effect, he suggests that the proto-
col be laid aside for the present and
the work of the commission be laid
along fresh channels.
Although the conditions imposed
for withdrawal of the troops We're
not to his liking, he attempted to
make it clear that his chief objection
to ratifying the document was not
based on the conditions, but on the
fact that he could not conscientiously
sign anything which would place him
in the position of having appeared to
sanction even for brief time the
presence in Mexico of federal troops.

Prosecutions Likely.

It was strongly intimated that facts
uncovered by the commission viii be
turned over to the department OF JUS
tice. It was announced that if the
commission failed to relieve condi-
tons some other governmental agency
might be able to help. The report to
congress, it Is understood, viii score
manufacturers for raising prices to the
extent Of forcing many small publish
crs out of business.
Manufacturers proposed the distri-
button plan at a hearing two weeks
ago Today's hearing as Il resumption
of that proceeding, interrupted 10 give
the manufacturers time to 60 over the
commissions cost Of production fig
urcs.
Publishers testifYng today blamed
both manufacturers aud iobbers for
conditions in the Newspaper
world. It was declared that lobbora
had taken advantage Of the last two
weeks to try to frightcn publishers
into paying high prices by claiming
shortage existed which would prevent
many publishers filling their needs
during tho coming year More tes''-
mony was brought out also concerning
alleged refusals to sell to publishers
and regarding different prices quoted
by the same manufacturers. It was
charged that an effort was being made
to discourage buying associations,
through which publishers hope to
their paper more cheaply
Publishers, it was said, are going
ahead rapidly with their plans for
constructing paper making plants Of
their own. BY the middle Of 1918,
said A, j Mcintyre, paper expert of
the Newspaper Publishers association,
the publishers will 'bc virtually indie
pendent of the paper manufacturers.
