Allies Must Move Quickly and
Firmly to Save Their
Balkan Ally.
REASONS FOR ENEMY DRIVE
BY OLIVER OWEN KUHN.

Back in the dim ages. when the Am
nronites were wont TO worship Win
fanatical zeal their deity, Moloch. who
demanded that they sacrifice those
things they held most dear that they
-r,rfght prosper, the weakest and most
helpless of these strange peoples. the
babies, were offered as human sacrifices
t4at blessing might be showered upon
them In their temples erected to this
exacting god We're the fiery pits OF
death where. during that time, thou
sands of innocent souls ascended with
the flames. And the weird god which
dalnanded this Of the peoples over
which he held sway was grimly salts
1iG,l.
And as the great Moloch OF old de-
manded that human lives be offered up
TO him is the Moloch OF the twentieth
century. the great war god which al
ready numbers its victims many, TO
demand that still another be laid pros
1rate, bleeding and crushed. that blood
lust may be satisfied. This is the ques-
tioe that has been on the lips of the
entire world during the past few weeks,
more particularly days
The GeTmanlC military JusgeFAaul Has
set out to destroy, crumrle under lts
very might. another OF the weakest
nations of Europe. which. seeing its
,iestinies lying with the great entente
powers. has dared TO intervene in their
behalf and oppose what the allies are
wont TO deem the grim mtlitaristic
policy of the central group of powers

Reasons Aplenty for
German Drive.


Teutonic desire to so control the Ru-
manian regions that the impending
Russian drive on Constantinople may
be forestaLed. The efforts of Won
Nackensen in the Dobrudja have been
but a shield to the main Germanic plan
of striking Runania from the north and
east. the hope being that Rumania
would BE forced To withdraw great
forces from the Pennsylvania region,
where, when they first entered the war
they were highly successful in their Of
fensive operations Won Mackeusen's
success furthermore, IL undoubtedly
was figured might do much toward
weakening the morale of the Rumanian
. armies and her peoples That the Ger
mans are intent on this one purpose is
indicated by the numerous air raids
which have been made upon Bucharest
and undefended towns Of King Ferdi-
naad's realm. 1t is even declared that
Germsnic fiers have gone to the lengths
of dropping cholera bac!lN-Infected
garlic and foods, that plague might
he started, the one eventual object be
ing to thoroughly sicksn the people
with the hardships Of war.
With the Won MaCllensen line drawn
across the DobrudJa, where he might
with proper forces, arrest Immediate
Russian progress toward the south
along the Black sea coast the Germans
also would have time to prepare their
forces for the Transylvauian drive. This
theory Of possible German plans is
borne ou- by the fact that during the
past fifteen days large Teutonic forces
have been assembled. and 1t is declared
that only seasoned troops are being
used in the present operations. tho re-
server OF Germany and Austria and
Hungary being sent TO other fronts to
largely take the place Of those moved
10 and operating in TransyIvanfa.
AT any rate, when the Germans deem
90 themselves prepared the drive
started II undoubtedly is their pur-
pose to sweep through Rumania and so
cripple King Ferdinand's armies that
their assistance to the Russians will be
almost nil. in which case the czar will

to establish a line southwark along the
River Aluta, thereby severing the west
ernrnost sections of the country from
the territory Immediately west of
Bucharest. Such action undoubtedly
would simplify the German task.
Not only have the Germans prog
ressed in the general region of Her
mannstadt and Kronstadt. but also
along that section of the front which
runs north and south in the River
Maros section. bucharest has been
forced to admit material Withdrawals
before the enemy. Ini fact the whole
Transylvanian line with the possible
exception of that section Immediately
in contact with the Russians, who have
been operating through Bukowina, has
been withdrawn to frontier points.
In viewing the general situation.
among the many other things that
must be taken into consideration is
the fact that the task of the Germans
now will be infinitely harder than at
any previous stage of the Transyl-
vanian campaign, because they must
traverse the Carpa thldnS ana ITansyl-
yanian AIDS in large numbers, and the
Rurnanians will for possibly some days
be lighting in their natural strongholds.
This may account for the stifening of
the Rumanian lines in the past forty
eight hours. The Germans were not
baked in the least by the mountain
fighting in Serbia. so 1t must not be
taken for granted by an means that the
Rumanians will be thoroughly success
full in future operations The Germans
already have taken enough important
mountain passes. which give good high
ways into Rumania, to preclude any con-
clusion that they will not continue their
drive until they are halted by superior
enemy forces. sr
Considerable anxiety is felt in allied
capitals lest reinforcements not reach

opnents in other arenas Of wag@Will

have brought their forces up to the
outskirts of the important strategical
town of Seres. having during recent
days of fighting captured Chavlar- Nah,

The Bulgarians have been in steady
retirement, and though they have
drawn to heights to the northwest Of

British to attain, there are no signs Of
lessening the British effort. The fall
of Seres, which, it is declared. Is
strongly held. is a possibility within
the course of the next few days.
Gen. Serraiis armies, which are hold

artillery engagements with isolated
trench raids. On the western section

while approaching within ten miles OF

the Austrians in the Julian Alps and
in the Trentino. This triple -barreled
offensive on the part of Italian forces

the enemy Whether or not the Italian
drive is intended to relieve Rumania,
country decidedly popular among lt&l-
ian peoples, is not known, but that il
eventually may have this effect is well
within the bounds of possibility. The
Italians have stormed several lines OF
Austrian trenches on the Carso in the
direction of Trieste, a terrific artillery
bombardment lasting nine days having
preceded the Italian advance. The
Austrians have lost 4 line of trenches
east of Vertoebizza, in the Julian Alps.

Hill 20S a series of heights have been
stormed by the Italians In the Tren-

se-'s armies, knocking at the doors of the
little Balkan nation from at least three
points, are menacing the future safety
of Rumania to such a point that King
Ferdinand of this country has sent
strong appeals TO his stronger friends TO
render assistance at once. Military ana
political leaders of the entente realize
rhat peril impends, and if Rumanta is
not TO be overrun, her cherished territory

a mighty struggle, only single poin

Mark McDonough and Jack Dough-

for Brownson. This combination has
only worked together in three games,
but in these contests they have shown
much speed and were largely re
