Rumanian Army Is Safe
Paris Paper Announces

Paris, Dec. 10. The Rumanian
army is now safe, according to news
received in Paris last night, says the
Petit Parisien The paper says that
the survivors are now beyond the Ser
eth river at Jassy and in Bessarabia
where they are being regrouped and
reftted in view of the further oper-
ations. The entire Rumanian front is
now stated to be held by the Russians
alone.
After the Bucharest-P -Ploechti line
was lost the story says, the Russians
sent divisions and forces of cavalry to
support the retreat of the Rumanian
army. King Ferdinand fell back as
rapidly as possible, assured the posi-
bility of reforming behind the shelter
of the Russians and continued the
withdrawal without halting until the
Sereth was crossed. The Russians of
fered strong resistance to the Germans
in the region of BuZeu so as to permit
engineers to construct defensive
front between Rimnik Sarat and the
Danube marshes on which front, it is
stated the Russians intend to stop the
advance of the invaders.

ment in Demand

New York, Dec. 19.-There was
shortage of 105,527 freight cars
throughout the country on December
l, according to report made public
here to-day by the American Railway
Association.
on August 1, the statement asserts,
there was an actual net surplus OF g.
762 idle cars, while in 1908 there was
at one time a surplusage of more than
413,000 cars, and at no time during
the year were there less tkan 100000
idle cars
January Net Surplus
In January, 1912, there was net
surplusage of approximately 10000"
the report says. From November,
1918 until March, 1916, there was "a
continuous surplusage of cars, the
number running in October, 1914, to
more than 100000, when the figures
became so large that the American
Railway Association stopped compil-
ing them. Compilation was resumed
on February 1, 1915, when idle cars
still numbered more than 279,OOO.
The number of freight cars owned
by the railroads of the country in

Germans Maintain Gains
at Verdun of Little VaIue

Berlin, Dec. IS, via London, Dec. 10,
Although the German military au-
thorities are making no effort to be-
little the recent French gains in the
neighborhood of Verdun, and look for
more attacks in the near future, they
maintain that the results attained are
small and have no effect on the gen.
eral military situation. They do not
believe the anticipated future attacks
will necessitate any transfer of troops
from the east to the west, since ample
reserves are on hand.
The continued German advance in
Rumania, aside from straightening
the line and reducing the length OF
the front by several hundred kilo-
meters, has freed large numbers OF
troops. The Germans are watching
with interest the foreign situation as
to wether Field Marshal Won Hinden-
burg will employ these forces -
whether against Italy. Russia or the
entente forces on the Macedonian
front

TO the officers and soldiers of that army

The almost complete wiping out of
the Rumanian army and the virtual ex-
tention of Rumania. which now seems
probable, and through which Bulgaria
now is given satisfaction for her suf-
ferings of three years ago, have caused
TINS victory to occasion unusual re-

SAVING Pennies.

Saving pennies has become quite
an industry among a large number Of
women in this city," said the receiving
teller in national bank. THE same
ones come In here regularly to cash
their pennies for bills. Some of them
have four or five hundred coppers to
exchange for bank notes. In most Of
the cases the women keep wooden or
pasteboard boxes as savings banks,
and whenever they find a penny in
their pocketbooks it is transferred to
the box.
Every night the men in the house
holds examine their change and give
the coppers to their wives. They tell
me it surprises them how the pennies
soon creep to large proportions. With
the bills changed for the pennies the
women have pin money and can buy
hat, a piece of lace and other ar
ticles that appeal to the feminine eye
without getting on their knees to their
husbands.
"One woman who Is regular Wis
itor here always breaks a five cent
piece for change, even though she has
plenty of pennies to complete pur-
chase. It is her rule to gather 40
many coppers as possible"

GET MUCH FOOD FROM OCEAN
Almost Every Species Of Fish 10 to Be

Japanese.

1t is estimated that in Japan one
person in twenty in the entire empire
is more or less of a fisherman, and
fish appear in some form on the table
of every Japanese family daily, il not
at every meal. The annual value Of
water products is in excess of $780,
100000. Half million boats are en-
gagged i'm fishing, of which $4,000 are
more than thirty feet long. Almost
a million men are professional fisher
men, and 100000 more give part Of
their time to fishing and the rest Of
farming or other pursuits. Only about
100000 men are so employed in the
United States.
A thousand species of fish, says the
Far East, have already been identified
in japanese waters, and almost every
one of them is edible. One of the COM
monest, most wholesome and most
sought after is the shark, which the
western people have never learned to
eat. Even the octopus is table deli.

One of the problems that confront
the naturalist is that OF accounting
for the distribution of identical forms
of life through widely separated local..
ties. Investigation frequently shows
that this has been accomplished In
many ways that appear quite simple
when once discovered, although one
would hardly have thought of them.
Some interesting facts have been
CLEANED concerning the dispersion OF
fresh-water mollusks, accounting for
their appearance in remote and iso-
lated ponds. Water fowl play an i'm
portant part in this work. Ducks have
been known to carry mussels attached
m their feet hundred miles or more.
Biyalve mollusks not infrequently
cling to the toes of wading birds. and
are thus transported for considerable
distances. Even aquatic insects have
been known to carry small fresh-wa-
ter mollusks attached to their legs
