Bucharest, the capital city of Rou- mania, menaced with capture by the Teutonic armies of Fa1kenhayn and Mackensen, offers the biggest munich pal prize in the Balkans. It is by far the largest city and the finest and richest in that part of the warning world. The Pocket Paris,' as Bu- charest was called before war cast a damper on the gay spirits of the people, claims a population of about 350,000, which puts it in a class by itself among Balkan capitals. Athens has less than 100000 people, Sofia about 100000 and Belgrade, before it was devastated by war, had less than 100000, while Cetinje, the Montene- grin capital, is but village of 2,00O folk.
 Until Roumania's decision to enter the war brought serious matters up permost, Bucharest was the gayest

city in Europe. Large numbers of her citizens had made fortunes out of the war, and they were liberal spen- ders. Originally squalid, mean1y built city, like all the capitals of the near east, Bucharest has of late years sought to become a Balkan Paris and with a fair measure of success Many fine public and business buildings and private residences along the streets, and luxurious hotels, which charge $6 a day for the smallest rooms, are numerous as are expensive restaur- ants, cabarets, theaters and dance halls. It is the metal plated cupo- los of the innumerable churches, how ever, which give to Bucharest it's most picturesque aspect in the eyes of the visitor from the west.
 Bucharest is 965 feet above sea lev el in the fertile but treeless plain of the small sluggish DambOvitZa, and it's situation is such as to render it difH- cult of defense in time of war. An

BALKAN DIPLOMACY
 BARRED BY PREMIER
Addresses Bulgarian Parliament
 and Makes Disclosures

Berlin, Dec. 1, by wireless to Say. ville.-"A despatch from Sofia says that Premier Radoslavoff has made sensational disclosures in the Bull : garian parliament says the Over seas News Agency. "The Rumanian government in 1915. at the beginnin g of the war between Bulgaria and Ser bia, declared it would remain neutral until the end of the European war. But it was soon evident Rumania had changed it's mind.
 Howard the end of August the Ru- manian minister to Bulgaria. G. C.. Derussi who had been sent from Sofia, returned and spread the report that the Rumanian government, in order to further good relations with Bulgaria, was ready to give back Dobrudia if Bulgaria would observe neutrality in case of war between Austria-Hungary and Rumania. The Bulgarian government was not de- ceived by this treacherous behavior Premier Radoslavoff refused to grant an audience to the Rumanian min ister.
 Speaking of the expulsion of the ministers of the central powers from Athens by the French Vice Admiral du Fournett, Premier Rados1aoff said good relations continued with the lawful government of King Con- stantine. The Greek government, he said had no power to prevent this violation of international law
 Premier Radoslavoff expressed the hope that in a short time the (Teu- tonic) allied governments would com 1nunicate good news to their Darlia- ments, which would be applauded bv all the allied nations."

strike at midnight tonight unless their
demands were granted Their action
was taken pending the negotiations in

question, which has been threatening

isolate themselves from the railway
men in other parts of the country, that
if they persisted in their decision to
strike there would be no alternative
but for the trade union executives to
repudiate their action.
The men, although they agreed to
wait until next Sunday, emphatically
re- affirmed that nothing less than 4
10-shilling advance would satisfy them.

BENSON ATTACKS THE CLAUSE
IN ARMY REORGANIZATION BILL
GIVING PRESIDENT DRAFT POWER

THE word draft was smuggled into
the bill. The bill as it first passed
the House Of Representatives read
that the President should have power
to CALI citizens into the army. I have
observed that, while President Wilson
has felicitated himself upon many 9TH
er things that he has done, he did not
felicitate himself. either in the Demo-
cratic platform that he wrote or in
his speech Of acceptance that he sign
ed bill containing the draft clause.
And have also observed that, while
Mr.. Hughes and his party have blam-
ed Mr.. Wilson for almost everything
he has done. they have not blamed him
for signing a bill containing the draft
clause. The Socialist party. having
observed the war that militarism
brought on Europe. is more than ever
opposed to great ornaments. We are
determined, in particular. that the Am
erican people shall know Of the draft
clause in the army BILL"

Staunton. Ills, Sept. 17.-That a
clause giving the President Of the
United States power to draft citizens

dent, in an address here today. Ben

tarism Of the United States. =
II lay particular stress" said Ben
son, ION Section 70 of the Hay-Cham-
berlain army reorganization bill
which gives the President in time Of
war, the power to draft citizens into
the United States army.
THE arbitrary power of an individ-
ual to draft means the creation for
the time being of military autocra-
cy. If the people Of the United States
desire that the President shall have
such power, we'll and good. But. the
people do not know that the President
has such power.

night that material progress towards
a mutual understanding would be made
this week, but an early agreement
upon a program for the maintenance
of order along the border was consid
cred improbable.
The Americans probably will try to
conflne the discussions early in the
week to subjects related to Mexico's
internal affairs, and 1t is not believed
that the Mexican representatives will
offer serious objection. Questions af
fecting property rights of foreigners in
Mexico will be raised perhaps tomor

Americans to ascertain the ideas Of
the Mexicans relative to a means Of
