RUMANIAN INVASION ENDED
Although there is some divergence
in the official reports from Sofa and
Bucharest concerning the fate of she
force of Rumanians which was thrown
across the Danube into Bulgaria, The
fact is plain, according to a Bucharest
communication, that they have ceased
their demonstration. Bucharest
adds that the Rumanians withdrew to
the left bank of the Danube but Sofa
asserts that the battlefield in north
Bulgaria between Rustchuk and Turf
kukai where they crossed the river,
is covered with Rumanian dead as a
result of their forced speedy retire
ment back to their own soil.
All the attempts of the RumanisnS
and Russians to advance in Dobrudia
have been frustrated by counter at
lacks of the Teutonic allies. Thirteen
cannons have fallen into the hands OF
the Russians and Rumanians in this
region.
In Pennsylvania the RumanianS have
captured near Parajad, Austro-G Ger

lasted three days.

river, by the British is admitted by
Berlin. Likewise, Berlin concedes
the taking by the entente forces of

Italians have captured several addi-
tional towns in Albania.

The View Doctrine.

Eleven months after the warning
that Germany would be held 10 strict
accountability for the loss OF Amerl-
can lives by submarine operations in
the war zone" more than eight
months after the Lusltania was sunk,
and in the face Of similar outragcs
since, the administration is still de-
batting the questions of disaYowal and
considering the prOtEer of indemnity
as receipt in full. The Mexican
issue has been longer ,protracted. The
futile expedition to Vera Cruz settled
nothing. The diplomatic triumph that
Berlin is preparing for tho admins
tration, in the hope OF future tavors,
will settle nothing. The government
OF great power, the chief among
tho neutral nations. has submitted TO
"lntolcuble injuries" without one
single effective stroke for redress.
Tho Wilson doctrine that the citizens
of that government should not call
upon II for protection If they go or
stay whore such injuries are possible
is a worthy corollary TO the practice
OF the Wilson administrations hila-
delphia Public Ledger.
The only Wilson doctrine" relat-
ing to protection of American citizens
that Is substantially observed Ia the
"stay-at-home" doctrine plus the
statement that we are to proud to
fight"
Fortunately for the United States II
has not always been So and those
who gained freedom for this country
and who prevented its dismcmber-
ment were no more anxious to fight
for the sake Of fighting than arc the
citizens OF the United states today
who would perpeMate. in power and

The RnDpblfcon Nominee.

There Is nobody who can predict the
Identity OF the Republican presidential
nominee with certainty. But II is
comparatively safe TO predict that the
platform will not differ radically from
that OF 1912. no temporary question
arising from our foreign relations
will he the Republican paramount.
The recent debate in Congress shows
that our relations with Europe are not
the subject OF party division there.
They will not be in the country at
large. and the party that tries 10 force
such IN Issue will be Justly rebukcd.
Nor is 1t likely that the party will
abandon the Sherman net and take up
with the nersIstently advocated state
socialism scheme Of trust regulation
10 which Mr.. Perkins is devoted.
The war has raised two issues
which demand attention. One Is tho
protection OF tho American home mar
Fct against flood of foreign prod
ucfs. II would be folly tn intrust that
protection to party which snlemnlv
declares at to he a fundamental prfn-
c'nle that the federal government. un-

ltnnH approaching. But read what
the Democratic Philadelphia Record
has TO say touching and appcrtalning
10 another distinguished apostle Of
national defense:
''If Colonel Roosevelt himself were

translate his lnnammatory counsel
Into action. He could not send the

The Record may mot have meant
to do so, seeing that 1t despIses Col.
Roosevelt, but it, has punctured the
one boast upon which Democrats base
Mr.. Wilson'S hopes Of reelection.

A Local sven, shop.

Investigations of sweat shops and
child labor exploiters have turned up
many instances Of horrlfying cruelty
and oppression. but few of them have
gone ahead of the practice that is en-
gagged in here by the Central District
Telephone Company in the operation
Of its switchboards with insufficient
help. The fact that one little girl was
required TO operate all the local calls
at the big switchboards OF the COM
pany's local plant on primary election
night Is enough TO bring the blush OF
shame to anyone except possibly such
greedy corporations as that operating
telephones here. 1t is true that an
other girl was on duty Tuesday night
but she was a toll operator and OF
course could be Of no service for local
calls when anyone was using the long
distance lines. The same condition
