Will Ask Congress
To Pass Amendment
u On Direct Voting

Portland, Ore, Nov. Ex-senator
George E. Chamberlain, who left to-
night for Washington, announced that
at the coming session Of congress he
will introduce a proposed constitu-
tional amendment providing for the
election of president by direct vote
of the people. His intention, he said,
is to get the amendment under way
promptly, so that it may be acted on
by congress and, if adopted there, by
the legislatures of the various states
in time to become effective for the
next presidential election. 49,
THE recent election demonstrated
more strongly than ever the desira-
bility of electing the president by
direct vote" said Senator Chamber
lain. "If FIVE thousand votes in Cali
fornia had been changed that state
would have gone for Hughes and he
would have been elected, notWith-
standing 100000 more votes were cast
in the nation for Wilson than for
Hughes. Another time the present
system might work to the disadvan-
tage of the other party"
Senator Chamberlain, who is
chairman of the senate committee on
military affairs, said he would also at
the coming session put forward a
measure providing for universal mill
tary service.

Rounanians Beaten
Without Barbed Wire,
Phones or Aviators

Berlin, Nov. 20.-(Via London.)-
Roumania's failure to withstand the
Austro-German offensive in Transyl-
vania is to be ascribed, according to
Joseph Wirth, correspondent of the
Lokal Anzeiger, principally to the
lack Of high trajectory and mountain
artillery and to inferior leadership.
The subsidiary causes, the CORE
spondent says, are the lack of barbed
wire for entanglements, the adher-
ence to old style Russian trenches
that cave in disastrously with the ar
rival of the first shell, and the lack
of equipment for many of the troops,
as we'll as telephone material, wagons
and aviators. The correspondent
continues:
1.-THE Roumanians have not even
adopted the almost universal trans
portable kitchen wagon, but still are
carrying food to the troops at the
front in cans slowed on numbering
wagons.
"The Roumanians fight far better
when defending their own territory
than when on the offensive. They
looked for short, decisive campaign,
and were unprepared for long fight.
THE Roumanian officers all carry
and study religiously general staff
book on lessons learned from the war.
but they seem to be unable to apply
them practically"
