great victories and defeats for one
side or the other. there being several
interesting events during the week
just closed, the chief of these being
the Rumanian invasion of Bulgaria
The Rumanians crossed the Danube

Rahovo by the means of a pontoon
bridge and without artillery reinforce
ments succeeded in capturing at least
six Bulgarian towns before Field Mar

the point where the Rumanians eff

drawal of enemy forces to their own
soil. Both Bucharest and Berlin de-
clare the fighting during the with
drawal resulted in staggering losses to
the Rumanians, between $4,000 and 16-
600 troops being cut to pieces between
the two Bulgarian armies. The vic
tory was acclaimed as decisive blow

her forces suffering heavily the with
drawal was effected without the loss
of a single man. The claims of the re-
spective belligerents are absolutely ir-
reconclable at the present moment and
will remain so until further light is
shed upon the facts.
Allied capitals saw in the Rumanian
invasion an attempt to cut off Won |

along the Great Kukel river early in |

In this same time the purpose of Ger

tween the various armies, separated by
the movements of the battle, and then

Marine The German official statements
did not admit the loss of the battle of
the Marine. From September 8 to Sep

TOO, that German high command, in this
time, did not regard the Marine as the
decisive action, and remained confident
that a new battle would win whatever
had been temporarily lost.

Blow Falls South of Ostend.

The first blow fell along the sea

intrepid king, standing behind the

with its heavy artillery beat down the
German advance, after a slaughter
which was terrible.

Newport. Here once more they made
progress until the Belgians, in their
despair, opened the sluices and the

situation of two boys building towers

the line now develops at a right angle
to the former front. 1t passes the

the Germans early in the war and then
abandoned; it points toward Antwerp,

WHITE DIARRHEA IN CHICKS
Trouble Is Caused by Baeteria-Sour
Milk Has Discourasinq Effect
on Disease. .

1t has been determined that the
white diarrhea in chicks is caused by
bacteria, and, If thoroughly done, dis
injecting is a preventive-with one
exception: investigations by authori-
tative sources have developed the fact
that bacteria has been found in the
ovaries of hens and in the yolks of
the eggs. In this event there is no
help so long as the same stock is
kept.
There is no positively known cure.
Sour milk has been found to have q
discouraging effect on the disease, If
given to the chick from the first. Burn
ing litter, spraying the poultry sur
roundings with a strong disinfectant
and waging war generally, just as you
would if it were some parasite that
you could see, Is about all that can
be done.
The disease Is the worst where
chickens are raised in large numbers.

GREAT RECORD OF SAFETY
Railroad Has Right to Be Proud of
the Achievement of Its Highly
Efficient Employees.

In 1915. the third successive year In
which no passenger was killed in a
train accident on the Pennsylvania
railroad lines east of Pittsburgh and
Erie, 4,364,519 tests and observations
were made to determine how well the
train operating rules and signals were
being obeyed. These tests covered
tbe work of both officers and employ
ees,
The results, which have just been
compiled, show that only one error
occurred in every LILO trials, giving
record of 900 per cent of absolute
perfection. In four classes of tests,
including obedience to various "stop"
signals, not q single failure on the
part of any employee occurred
throughout the year.
An exceptionally high record was
made in the observance of rules in
tended especially for the protection
of the employees. These included such
matters as precautions in the shift
ing of trains and also the safety reg
ulations governing men engaged in
track work.
In the shifting Of trains, 6S,941 OBJ
servations We're made and II errors
recorded. There were 342,991 tests
for obedience to the safety rules for
track workmen and in only 70 cases
were these rules disregarded in any
way. That meant one error in every
1890 trials. Last year, accidents to
employees were reduced II per cent.
Only eight failures to follow strict
ly the rules governing watchmen sta
toned at grade crossings occurred in
the 62,934 instances which were OBJ
