MANoEUvRE T. RS DATES.
G.. o. P. Careful to Keep Roosevelt Out
of German Territory.

Announcement by the Republican
National Committee on Theodore Roose-
welt S speaking dates for the remainder
of the campaign corroborates reports of
frantic appeals by the managers of the
Republican State campaigns in the
principal States of the Middle West to
keep him out of their territory.
Though subsequently denied by him,
the report was recently published In
Ohio that National Committeeman
Hynicka of Ohio assured the local COM
mittee in Cincinnati and the Germans
there that Roosevelt not only would not
speak in Ohio but would not be invited
to do so. The dates now announced for
Roosevelt are seven in number and in
clude addresses at Wilkesbarre, Pa;
Louisville, KY; Phoenix, Ariz.; Albu,
querque, N. M; Denver, Colo; Chicago
and Brooklyn.
That the former President and Pro
gressive is to be kept out of such states
as Ohio, Indiana and Missouri, and out
of the Northwest is deemed highly
significant. The obvious reasoning is
that in the Far West koosevelt's wal
talk may appeal with effect to militia
men on the border and to his former
Rough Rider following; that in Chicago
and Illinois he may help hold some OF
the Progressives in line; and that In
New York he may win over some of thu
supporters of the Allies. 1t is cleal
that his itinerary was arranged to TAXI
him as. far as possible from the terri
tory having large German vote.
This development is just anothe
evidence of the Republican plan T.
appeal to the German vote through
Hughes vague speeches and to the un
neutral pro-Ally vote through Roose
Welt.

London, Dec. 13.-Smashing north

northward from the Jslomitza River,
Mackensen's two armies are converging
on Buzeu, the important railroad CEN
tire in Rumania.
Ferdnand's troops made valiant
but futile stand south of the Ploesci-
Buzeu road yesterday. After winning
a row of villages by a spirited assault,
they were thrown back when the leu
tons counter-attacked. Russian Cos
sacks protected them as they retreated
toward Buzeu and prevented the inhlc-
ton of heavy losses.
On the road to Buzeu the invaders
pressed beyond Mill, which was capt

taken in the Germanic operations IN

There appears 70 be little hope OF
a successful stand by the Rumanlans

Blow at Sarrail's Army Be-

Berlin, Dec. 10 (by wireless to Say

forces in Macedonia. A force of 500
Of Constantine's soldiers assailed Sar-
rails troops near Katerina, sixty miles
southwest of Salonica, to-day, threw
the French back and captured the town,
according to the Overseas News
Agency. The Greeks are said TO have
taken their stand between Borbotsko
and Katerina, both Of which are few
miles inland from the Gulf of Salonics.
Katerina had been occupied by a
French force sent BY Sarrsil a Few
months ago when clashes between
Royalist and Venizelist forces APP
reared imminent. A few weeks ago
Greek Royalists threatened hostile
movements against the town, which
never materalized. Since that time
Constantine is believed to have as
sembled an army in the interior with
the purpose of attacking the Entente
forces in the rear while the Teutons
assailed them on the front north OF
Monastir.
In some quarters here il is believed
that the double drive is already under
way and that the next few days will
see the Greek and Teutonic forces
launch a general offensive against Sar-
rail. Mackensen, it is intimated, may
lead the troops of the Central Powers
in their attack on the Monastir front.

The new ministry was Endorsed to-
day by a vote of 314 to 165 in the

given.
The Chambers vote was on a motion

provisions, as BRAND refused to accept
anything else.

entire nations confront each other, de-

THE Rumanian army has not been

Force Athens to Yield,
Allied Army Men Demand
By GORDON GORDON-SMTTH

SoIonica Dec. l3 (via London) In
military circles here the situation IN
Athens is regarded as having ceased TO
be political and diplomatic and as nav
ing become purely military.
II is abundantly clear that the prog
ross of the war is the barometer guld-
ing the policy OF King Constantine,s
government. A semblance Of neutral
itv was observed while the Entente
Allies were marching ahead to success,
but the recent events in Rumanla nave
made the balance at once Incline IN
favor of the Central Powers, and
Greece is being ruled accordingly.
No one here doubts that Constantine
and his followers are only waiting news
of successful attack on Sarrail' 5
forces by Mackensen before openly
taking sides with Germany.
The complete crushing of Rumania
will be followed by an attack on the
Allied forces on the Macedonian front,
with the immediate object the recap
ture of Monastir and the joining of the
forces of Greece and the Central Pow
ers. Observers here are practically
unanimous in that belief. The greatest
danger of such a combination would be
that to the lines of communication OF
Sarrail's army.
II is becoming increasingly evident
that the situation is one for the mill
tary authorities on the spot. The fail
ure of the Entente to prevent the de-
struction of the small nations that en-
listed under their colors has had a
depressing effect and will affect the
prestige Of the Allies in the Balkans.
Unless energetic action is taken imme-
diately things will go from bad to
worse A continuation of the useless
diplcmatic negotiations between the
Entente and Greece would be folly, in
view Of the present conditions.
