CAPITAL CITY ENCIRCLED

Bucharest (Via London), Dec. q
In the Dumbovitza valley and in the
region of Piteshti Rumanian troops
have retired troops before the invad-
ing Teuton forces. says the official
statement issued by the war Office
today. A violent battle, it is added,
continues on the Glavvatziotzu and
Niaslov rivers, west and southwest OF
Bucharest.
Attacks by the Roumanians in Dob
rudja resulted in the reaching OF the
Bulgarian wire entanglements which,
the statement declares, have been
passed at some points.
Indications point to the probability
that two hanking operations on a
large scale are in progress on the
Roumanian front. The one appar-
entity is intended by the Russians to
save King Ferdinand's armies and
possibly his capital, and the other by
the TeMtonc allies to force the
evacuation of Bucharest and cut off
| tne troops QclenQlnR II.
Having assembled what seems to
be a huge force along the range of
the lower Carpathians, the Russians
are pressing great offensive on
front OF approximately $50 miles, run
ming along the western frontier of
the Roumanian province Of Moldavia
and extending northwest along the
Bukowina border. Already they are
declared TO have scored such sue
cesses as to lead to expectations that
the supply lines Of General Won Fall
kenhayn's armies invading Roumania
from the north may shortly be Sc
riously menaced.
The threat to the Roumanians
comes from. Field Marshal Won Mack

virtually the entire course of the Dan

do, the Teutonic allies, it has been
pointed out, seemed likely to at
tempt throwing forces across it at
points further and further east, to
outhank each line taken up by the
Roumanians as they retired under the
pressure of Won Falkenhayn's forces
from the north and west and such
OF Won Mackensen's troops as were
already on the north bank Of the
river.
Entente commentators point out
that such move may now have been
effected taking the mention by Petro-
grad that hostile patrols have ap-
peared near Lake Griska, as indicat-
ing that a new crossing has been
made by Won Mackensen near Often

Officials That Were Present
And Results Arc Obtained

The city fathers and the Mayor
met in the regular council meet
ing last Monday evening and be-
sides the allowing of the bills and
other matters, the gates for the
railroad crossings were up for
discussions:
The Great Northern officials
that were present to argue their
side of the controversy were: Mr..
E. J. Bowen, Asst Gen. Supt.; E.
c. Hoffman, Supt. of Breckenridge
Division, and Mr.. Lands, Asst
Supt. of this division.
In the discussion, Mr.. Bowen
stated that gates were practically
impossible for small cities as
Wahpeton, and stated that after
the late accident of Miss Annie
Smith, that he had three men
come up here to count the traffic
crossing the important crossings
during the day, and another three
during the might, to see if the
traffic was large enough to war
rant the putting in of gates here.
He also stated that there had only
been three accidents here in the
last % years. He stated that the
bells announcing the approach of
a train would be put into first
class condition and that all en-
gineers would be instructed inn
mediately to slow down their
trains while passing through this
city to the maximum speed of 8
miles an hour. This we have no.

At the regular meeting of the

Mr.. Olson states that no date will
be announced until he confers
with Mr.. Henry +. Chick, who is

This citizens meeting concerns
the bringing of the Equity Pack
ing Plant to Wahpeton. A large
number of the Equity men, around
Wahpeton will no doubt attend
and give the citizens the benefit
of their knowledge concerning this
plant. The bringing Of this plant
to Wahpeton can be accomplished
and only can by one way, that
means by the hardest kind of work
and push by the Wahpeton peo-
pie and the Equity members of
this vicinity and county, and sur
rounding counties.
Wahpeton has every advantage
that a plant of this kind could de-
sire. 1t has the sewerage system,
and it is large enough to take
care of their needs. We have an
amply supply of water, more than
enough in fact to meet their de-
mands, all the railroad advant-
ages and can get cheap power by
using a great deal of electricity.
