Says German Offensive
Against the Rumanians
Is Doomed to Failure

ATHENS. Tuesday, october 81, via
London. November (deIayed)
Austro-German offensive in Transyl-
vania appears definitely to have ar
rived at a STOP" declared N N. Flo
dor. the RuYanian minister to Greece.
to the Associated Press correspondent.
Operations of this smashing nature.
like the attack on Paris, must be in
stantly successful If they are not des-
tined to fail utterly" continued NJ.
Filodor.
Every day that we are able to post =
pone disaster we grow stronger and
our opponents grow weaker. ANY con-
certed attack presupposes certain
amount of unDreparedness to meet il
on the part of those attacked, but if IL
is not Immediately successful the pre-
paredness of those attacked constantly
increases as was the case at Verdun.
This Is precisely what happened in
Rumania, and is why the Austro- Ger
man offensive already is doomed. More
over the fact that Gen. F'alkenhayn
seems to have been replaced by Arch
duke Charles Francis on this front can
be taken as showing that even the Ger
man general staff realizes the failure
of the attempt"

sonic Hall. Prior to the meeting there
was an automobile parade, headed by
the uniformed Review and Herald Band
through the principal thoroughfares OF
Takoma Park, both in the District and
on the Maryland side. J. Damn Faber
chairman of the Takoma Park Repub-
Iican Club. presided.
Mr.. Gordon told OF the political stand
ing of the various states at the present
time. There are two issues in this cam
paign, he said, moral courage versus
moral cowardfce and honesty versus
insincerity." Have we kept out of war
and if We have, who kept US out of it %
he asked. I'VE have been at war with
Mexico for over a year."
The speaker told Of the labor situa-
other issues under discussion at the
present time. He concluded by refer
ring to the pledge and the plank in the
platform Of 1912, in which the demo-
Gratis favored an amendment to the
Constitution making a President of the
United States, ineligible for reelection.
Pays Tribute to Mr.. Hughes.
oliver H. Metzerott paid high trib-
ute to Candidate Hughes. and of his
rise in politics. He told of the excel
lent service which he had rendered the
country during the insurance investi-
cation In New York several years ago,
when an attorney. which later led to
his election as Governor of New York.
The speaker followed by telling his
audience of the first workingmen's
compensation act and of the many laws
which had been put into effect while
including the child labor law and the
anti-gambling laws.
Mr.. Metzerott told number of Incl
dents which occurred while he was a
student under Mr.. Wilson at Princeton
University. He said there was lack of
progressiveness toward the National
Capital. and that during the present
administration not a single building
had been erected that would be a credit
to the national government. If the
government doesn't develop the ma
tional side of Washington it means
just that much less on the pay roll for
the workingman. He told of the thou
sands of removals under civil service.
and followed by referring to the atti-
tude of President Wilson on prepared
ness at the beginning of his term
and how he stands at the pres
ent time. He said that there had not
been a keel of a battleship laid in the
past three years. and We are now just
preparing a campaign in that connec-
ton.
Tributes were paid by the speakers

made public. show that the prices which

ASSUMES OWN RISKS
ON FEDERAL PROPERTY
Government Policy Relating to Fire
Insurance Reiterated by the Act
ing Controller.

Again the principle is laid down that
the government assumes fire risk on
federal property and will not pay pre-
miums for insurance. The acting con-
troller of the Treasury, Charles Mar
shall Force, reiterates former decisions
of the Office, and decides that no altered
conditions justify departure from
established method.
The problem this time arises in a ref
erence from the Secretary of the In
terror asking for authority to pay pre-
miums for insurance upon buildings
and structures built, or required to be
built, for and in connection with the
construction and operation of the gov
eminent built Alaskan railways, and

No Exception Made.

1T is urged by your submission. -
says Acting Controller Force, replying
to the reference of the Secretary of the
Interior, "that an exception to the uni
form policy and practice should be
made with respect to property acquired
in connection with the construction and
operation of railroads in Alaska I can
see no difference in principle between
the cases here presented and the cases
considered in the decisions above cited
"One reason suggested by you for
making exception in these cases is that
the risks are greater in Alaska / faij
to see wherein the degree of risk or the
value of the property can affect the
principle involved The rate Of premium
is presumed. in all cases, to be com
mensurate with the risk. And. If it is
advantageous to the government to
save small premiums by assuming
slight risks 1t would be equally advan-
tageous to save large premiums by as
suming greater risks.
