 The importance of the successes of the Teutonic armies near Bucharest Is emphasized by the announcement that since December 1. the Rumanians have lost in prisoners more than 10000 men, 1S4 cannon and 120 machine guns, and the losses in dead and wounded are de- Clared to be in proportion to the mum Der of prisoners. The booty taken by the Teutons is reported as "incal- iahle"
 The fate of the Rumanian armies is in doubt, but they continue to retreat before the Teutonic allies. The Rus sians again have launched strong at tacks on the upper Moldavian and Transylvanian frontiers, but the ma jority of them are reported to have Jailed with heavy losses. Some ground was gained however. north of Dorna Watra. the Russian troops dislodging hostile forces also from two heights in the Putna valley and taking prisoners and machine guns The battle south of Javornitza in the wooded Carpathians has ceased and the Russians have re- tired to their entrenchments In conse l. quence of the retreat eastward of the Rumanian troops, Russian troops on their left flank also have been com pelled to retire
 The entente forces again have de- livered attacks in the Bend of the Ger na river, on the Macedonian front. There has been violent artillery fight ing on the Somme front and in the viz cinity of Hill BOA at Verdun.
 Correspondents in Greece report a persstently hostile attitude by King Constantine and the Greek royaists to- wards the entente and declare efforts are being made to gather a strong ar my in the Larissa region for an attack upon the entente forces from the rear simultaneously with attacks by the Teutonic allies from the north.
 British military writers call attention to these contingencies and decisive ac- ton with regard to Greece is urged in the interest of sound strategy and the safety of the entente forces in Mac edonia.
 The reply of the German chancellor 10 the latest representations of the United States government regarding the Belgian labor deportatioRs is ex- pected to be delivered today or tomor- row and it is stated that it will be couched "in the friendliest terms and go as far as possible toward meeting the American wishes.

WASHINGTON. Dec 9.-Recent per- sonal investigations of conditions in England. France and Germany revealed that the mass of the people in all these countries are anxious for peace Miss Madeline Doty of New York told the annual meeting of the Women's Peace Party tonight. The speaker said the lack of accurate news in one group Of tions in the other group k mainly re- sponsible for the continuation of hos tilities
 The people of France and England, have been told by responsible peo- rle,H said the speaker. "are heartily sick of this war, Because Lloyd George and other persons have been crying that Germany the powerful, must be crushed, if England and France are to survive. the people have come to be- lieve that such k the truth. As mat ter of fact the people of Germany are weak. and they want peace
 ITO say that England and France by continuing the war will crush militar- ism in Germany is erroneous. It is n fact that the longer the war continues. the stronger the militarists of Germany will hecoms. When the British and French people realize the exact condi- ton Of the German people then will peace be near
 Miss Doty told of attending mass meetings in Germany where peace prospects were freely discussed by civilians and soldiers. Her investiga ton of conditions in England and France. she asserted disclosed that public peace discussions were not per- mitted.
 Among resolutions adopted by the peace party today was one expressing disapproval of the evils of secret di- plomacy.'
 Previously speakers had assailed the newspaper censorshop recently estah- lished by the American navy in Santo Domingo.
 Other resolutions adopted, provided that the chief efforts of the party should be directed against any form Of universal compulsory military service, condemned military training in the schools. favored repeal of the draft provision in the army reorganization bill. urged the appointment of commits sions representing the United States and Japan and the United States and China amicably to settle disputes. and endorse the proposed federal amend ment for women suffrage.

Whether Germany's reply will be made public or answered with a fur ther note by this s>government will not be decided until the attitude of the American public has been learned and the actual text of the German answer has besn examined.
 The state department is conscious that it already has exceeded the con ventional bounds of diplomacy in nnak ing several informal as we'll as formal representations in the case. but it is eager to emphasize its position in every reasonable way.

 Despite these warnings, the admiral decid ided to land certain number of de- tachments which in several columns proceeded from Piraeus to the capital, which was under military control. The attachments occupied some of the out skirts and repuIsed the royal army, which only at that moment decided to defend themselves without any orders.
 After the morning skirnishes be- tween the allied detsehments and our troops, a truce was decided upon, at the request of the admiral. Despite the armlstice, though, and after firing had ceased, the allied ships bombarded sew eral shops of the town and shot not less than 39 shells, seven of which were directed against the royal palace.

CHICAGO MAYOR ORDERS All
 SALOONS CLOSED; CHIEF QUITS

Saloon keepers who were arrested on warrants after the closing order had been issued by Mayor Thompson were promptly freed by juries Criticism was made by city officials that the cases were not prosecuted by assistant states attorneys with sufficient vigor and the revocation power in the hands of the mayor was used as a weapon to enforce the law Hoyne adherents then brought the charge that the mayor was using this power to reward favorites and to build for himself a political machine.
 Recently after a sensational raid hy Hoyne on the city hall for documentary evidence Chief Healy and his secretary were indicted.
 In announcing the chief s, imminent resignation, Mayor Thompson declared Healy's inability to obtain an immed- late trial on the indictment was the reason he would leave the department. Chief Healy had not announced his res ignation tonight but said the question was entirely in the hands of the mayor.

 WASHINGTON Dec. s.-American public opinion will decide what steps if any the government shall take to follow up its protest to Germany against the deportations.o Belgians.
 Chancellor won Bethmann Hollweg's conversation with Charge Grew of the American embassy in Berlin has con vineed state department officials that Germany's formal reply to the Amer ican protest will hold the deportstions justified on the ground of social ne cessty.
 It was admitted that the action of the state department in publishing the text of the protest was for the purpose of sounding public opinion on the subject.
 Ofticials were not greatly encour- aged by today's press dispatch outlin ing the forthcoming German reply. So far as can be determined from this summary the reply contains little, officials believe, that had not been said to Charge Grew before the formal American protest was sent.
