A LEAGUE LEGISLATURE.
The Fargo Courier News and the
Grand Forks Herald are authorities for

The Fargo Courier News and the
Grand Forks Herald are authorities for
the statement that the Non.partisan
League is requiring legislative candi-
dates to take pledge to the effect that
in all legislative matters affecting farm
ers' interests that the members signing
will place themselves under the control
of the "League" and vote as they are
told to do by the League" Whether
the candidates for the Supreme court
will be required to sign similar pledge
is not yet known.
That q legislative candidate should
pledge himself in advance to vote on
future questions none of which can pos
sibly now be known. in obedience to the
dictates Of any one man or any body Of
men, is not only absurd but in itself
ought to be sufficient to debsr him from
membership in tho legislature. Some.
times there are direct issues up before
tho people, when it is perfectly proper
for . candidate to pledge bic vote IN I'd.
vance on such issues, but il 10 very dif.
fesest matter for tho candidate 70 blind.

Keep Your Bird DOGS Tied up.

Under Sec. q of the new Game Law,
bird dogs are not allowed to run at large.
These do much damage to the nests of
chickens and grouse. Wardens have
been instructed to prosecute all parties
allowing their dogs to run at large.
Last season the chicken crop was poor,
owing to the unfavorable weather. This
is backward season, SO let every person
help to prevent any damage being done
to the eggs or the young chicks.

BUCHAREST IS TAKEN
 BY TEUTONS; RUMANIAN
 ARMY IN GRAVE PERIL

Rumanians have been brought to Ger man prison camps, according to Co., penhagen despatch to the Exchange Telegraph Co quoting the Loal An zeiger. The paper attributes to Ger man military authorities the belief that the Rumanians intend to with draw from Moldavia abandoning the whole of Wallachia. By this step they would have only a one hundred front to defend. The Lokal Anzeiger reports that prior to it's capture Bu- charest was nearly deserted and the city was uninjured.

SORROW IN PARIS.

Paris, Dec. 7-The news of the fall of Bucharest was received here with sorrow and modification, although it had been regarded as inevitable since the battle of the Archicu.
 We understand perfectly" says the Arch1cu Journal, what the Ruma- nians are suffering, for we, too, have suffered the seriousness of inva.s- ion.''
 All of the newspapers say that the event must be a lesson to the allies which ought to spur them on to more rapid and energetic action and above all to the organized and effective use Of their common resources. The com mentators, while generally gloomy, mae the point tha tthe Rumanians, having abandoned Bucharest have now a much shorter line which their enemies, having emerged intact from the claws of the German enve1oping movement. have good chance of holding until the allies come to their relief But it is agreed that with the fall of Ploschti there appears no prob ability of saving the oil fields which is considered the worst feature of the situation.

LLOYD GEORGES
 BURDEN HEAVY, PAPERS ASSERT
London Publications Refrain From Speculation on New
 Cabinet.

I<OuuOus DOC. S-1u0 LOuQOQ mOIn~ ing papers refrain from predicting or even speculating on the composition of Lloy d Georges cabinet and there is nothing to indicate the suggestions made by the minority have any special weight That Lloyd George has per haps the stiffest task of his political career before him is generally admit ted and even some of his staunchest supporters which include all the Tory press, abstain from prophesying suc- cess while some indicate doubt as to whether he will triumph over the great obstacles confronting him.
 The Times, which halls Lloyd Georges nomination to the premier ship as 'the only practical and straightforward way to end the crisis,' says:
 "The outcome cannot be foreto1d. This, however, can be said that Lloyd George has a far better chance of forming a government than Bonar Law"
 The Chronicle, referring to the diff faculties of facing the new premier. says:
 'sOn1y man of lion hearted cour- age would face them. He has no or ganized following in the House of Commons and no party machine to help him, whilst the situation of af- fairs, whether at home or abroad, is not by any means cheerful. But the heavy boldness of the enterprise may win the sympa thy of the British Democracy, in which case lack of sup port from the party machines will be immaterial"
 Amsterdam, Dec. eIThe resigna- ton of Premier Asquith clears the sit uation. according to the, Koelnische Zeitung. Commenting on the English political crisis, the paper says.
 '@The enemy's last forces will now be brought into the field and when they, like the others, have hurled them selves vainly against the strength of Germany, we shall find England ready for an honest peace"
 The Cologne Volks Zeitung says that the Germans can view political events in England with complete ,compos- ure.
 ! '-The leading man," it says, "in the most powerful of the enemy countries confirms by his resignation the failure of the war policy hitherto followed by the entente. If the strong men in England now come into power this can only please us, for it gives the hope that decision will come all the earlier"
