London, Dec. THE plight of Rou.

This encircling movement spells the
greatest apparent peril to King Fer

Ploechti affords the only railway ave

ODESSA SAID TO Be
GERMAN OBJECTIVE

With German Army at Pitessci, Rou,
mania. via Berlin, Dec. 7.-Bucharest's
fate Is a matter of only a few days.
Desperate resistance by the Rou.
manians can only delay occupation OF
the capital.
To al observer of this great German
achievement the goal of the offensive
movement now approaching its eli.
max is not Bucharest alone. Germany's
object is first to destroy the Rouman.
ian army preparatory to a march to-
ward Russia, with Odessa as the final
goal.
The German operations are moving
forward on a gigantic scale. For miles
over Roumania's roads thousands of
columns pass In ceaseless moving pic
lures. Besides these advancing col.
umns are wagon trains of desperate
looking refugees. and In the villages.
packed with troops, are the Rouman-
ian army prisoners.
Desperation OF the Roumanian army
STAFF In its efforts to mobilize all pos.
sible forces against the German ad.
vance was evidenced here when a
force OF landsturm troops clad I'm civil
ian clothes and armed with hunting
rifles was captured. Their ammuni-
ton was lead bullets fitting the
sporting rifles.
The Roumanian losses In dead and
wounded are staggering, while Ger
man regiments finish battles with only
a few score killed.

Washington. Dec. 7.-ISpecial. THE
third term club will be held over Dem
ocrats. just as II was held over Repub-
leans during the last four years OF
Roosevelt. There IL no necessity for
Woodrow Wilson to make a declara-

that he would not accept another term.

The third term makes a mighty good
presidential club. No one realized this
better than Roosevelt. IF they don't
take Taft they have to take me-" he
once said when the Republican leaders
were scheming how TO prevent Koose-
welt from naming his successor In the
White House. And many OF them
scared another term OF Roosevelt.
But the value OF the third term as a
dub comes In when there is legislation
to be passed. Ii a ma Is likely to
have q third term he will control the
patronage for all that time. and pat
ronage often controls legislation. II
