Military Critics Believe Noth-

Center From Teutons.

LONDON, Dec. 90 p. mD-
Altho the Rumanians apparently are
Offering desperate resistance west
and south OF Bucharest, the enemy
forces are rapidly closing IN on their
capital and even the most optimistic
military critics here now admit that
lhe situation is extremely critical.
Advices from Berlin today report
that the Danube army is already men
acing the pirdlc of fortrcsses around
bucharest, having reached the Ar
sechu river. which is only five miles
from the forts. The Germans and
Hulgarans also have gained ground
northwest Of the capital by working
thru the passes southeast of Campu-
lung.
starr Officers Captured.
Still another enemy force is report
ed TO have brokn thru and defeated
the first Rumanian army southwest
of Pitesht, enabling it to capture
general staff officers. The Ruman-
ian ana Russian communications are
silent regarding this last claim. altho
both admit that the Rumanians un-
der pressure were compelled to re-
treat slightly in this sector. Further
west in Wallachia, the Rumanians
hSHtll NIdl duNtISt WtdlItT tbndl-
tons are hampering their operations.
Russian Aid Too Late.
1t is generally believed here that
Russian pressure on Won Falkenhayn' S
army thru Pennsylvania, has come too
late to offset the rapid gains of the
German or affect materially the Ger
man plans of cncircling bucharest.
The Russians latest success in cap
turing a series of heights south Of
kirlibaba gives them an entering
wedge into TransyVania and proves IA
most encouraging counter move on
the part of the allies.
Success for Allics.
That the Russian forces in con-
junction with Rumanians are making
progress in Dobrudja is indicated by
the latest communication which re-
ports that the allies have regained
part of the TchernaVoda bridge. COM
pelling the opposing forces to retire
southwark from several heights. A
significant feature of the move from
all points in this theater of war is the
absence of claims that either side is

woman to go wrong. Why should a
man not be as clean and pure as his
wife, mother, sister or daughter"
| If woman falls her friends desert
her if they find it out, but man
can sink to the lowest depths and
he will be regarded as hale fellow
well met" Il would rather be an
old maid and shrivel up like an
Egyptian mummy and rattle in a
peanut shell, than marry any one of
a lot of you old buffers
The evangelist then told of the
process Of making tobacco into plugs
as he had seen it done. 1t was not
a very flattering report. He said
that there are three things that use
the stuff-the tobacco worm, the
billy goat and man. "Its a great
company you are keeping" He
fired a few shots at the preacher,
doctor, church member, the stingy
husband, and became tender as he
spoke of wife, mother and the Bible.
He closed with these words: "Cu1-
tivate the friendship of Jesus. He is
the manifest man that ever lived"
At 1880 Sunday night the taber-
nacle was filled. The great crowd
gave Evangelist Bromley good
start in the way of applause when
he stepped on the platform.
DR.. Bromley took the mask off the
face of sin that all might see the
hideous features. He said that the
man of sin is slave to the flesh. He
lives on the lower level of life. The
speaker gave new definition of
total depravity," that old doctrine
about which there has been much
needless discussion, but every per-
son in the tabernacle believed that
DR.. Bromley spoke the truth when
he said that sin effects every power
OF the body. 1t reaches every part
of life. therefore the necessity of re-
generation. He laid stress on that
old truth-"My mind to me a king
dom is" and "as man thinketh in
his heart so is he' The seat of hap
piness is the heart. The question
is not what have you, but what are
you? What can you enjoy?
He mentioned Fannie Crosby,
"The sweet song writer, and Helen
Keller, the woman of optimism, as
both being happy.
The street urchin has better time
than the millionaire.
The doctrine that whatsoever Won
sow, you shall also reap, has never
been attacked by infidels-it is SO
wrapped up in nature. The speaker
lifted the curtain of history and ma
ton after nation passed by sowing
the seeds Of sin and then later on
reaping the consequences of that sin
in most awful way.
Here are few Bromley epigrams:
Inc trouble with square dance,
1t soon gets the corners knocked off,"
You are responsible not only for
the truth you hear, but for the truth
you may hear" "a lot of church
members are deader than door
nails" Don't get mad at me, get
mad at your fool SELF" Lets have
a little religion in the churches; it
won't hurt them" Every sin will
hunt you down and make you pay"
Every Christian is the key to some
ones salvation"
Tonight is Christian church
night. They will attend in a dele
cation.
DR.. Bromley's subject tonight is:
''Sin. Society and the Devil
