Rumanian Situation
Serious, 1t Is Admitted
by Press of London

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. November 22.-The London
morning papers show no disposition to
underestimate the gravity of the situa-
ton in Rumania as a result Of the fall
of Craiova-
The Daily Chronicle says: More
alarming than the fall of Craiova is the
speed with which 1t was reached and
captured This points to an outma-
neuvering Of the western Rumanian de-
fensive under which the latter tempo
rarily and locally has suffered COM
plete collapse The German COM
manders have shown great skill in TAX
ing full advantage of such collapses
and in delaying the return of the equf-
librium. We still hear nothing of Or

there. The danger of their beng cut
likely that the allies can prevent the
southwestern corner of Wallachia from
passing under German control.
Possible German Purpose.
The aim of the German commanders
for the present is not likely Bucharest,
but probably consolidation of the line
of the Alt from Red Tower pass to
the Danube, thus giving them such
winter front as they like and bringing
the armies of Won Falkenhayn and Won
Mackensen into closer geographical
connection.
The Daily News says: ut seems GER
tain that western Wallachia is lost for
the time being. Orsova. if garrlsoned,
may hold out for 4 long time, but the
fate of isolated fortresses when at

been encouraging in this war Fortu-

The German advance will at the

The Daily Mail says: Even if the

The Britannia was equipped with
thirty-five lifeboats. and the loss of
lie incident to the sinking is supposed

Greatest White Star Vessel.
The Britannia was the largest vessel
of the White Star fleet afloat. Built
III 1914 at Belfast, she was $50 feet
long, ninety-four feet beam and fifty
nine feet depth. Her length was some
what less than that of the White Star
liner Olympic. which measured sss1s
feet but the Britannia had the greater
tonnage, the Olympic's being $4,000
tons. as compared with the Britannics
1850.
Ship Turned Back in June.
NEW YORK, November 22.-Officials

The Britannia, built for the Liverpool
New York trade, was never in the serv-
ice. She was about ready to be turned
over for her initial voyage when the war
began and she was Immediately COM
mandeered and fitted up for hospital pur-
poses. At various times since the war
started she has been reported as being
seen by returning travellers, always clearly
defined as a hospital ship. with the usual
red band running around her hull and
the red hospital cross flying from her
ed and sick from the Dardanelles, and il
was after that campaign was abandoned
by Great Britain that she was turned
back to her owners.

Having ordered a navy the like of
which has never been seen. Uncle Sam
now finds himself without a docking
place big enough to hold any great
number of the ships at once. Further.
Uncle Sam finds himself in the posi-
ton of a person who has bought a
large automobile and realizes it is
necessary to purchase quantities OF
accessories, tools. new and warmer
clothing, and to take on expensive
habits generally. Expressions along
these lines interlarded the technical
talk of Rear Admiral Frederick r..

and docks, who appeared before the
House committee on naval affairs this
morning. Members of Congress inter-
jected the ideas-not the admiral
Admiral Harris told the committee
that there is no place at the important
naval establishment at Norfolk where
the fleet which has been ordered built
may assemble all at once. There is room
for four of the new ships only.

Plans to Increase Water Space.

The navy now plans to increase the
water space there so that all thirty
two of the dreadnaughts of the new
navy may ride there without humping
one another.
AS for the accessories required by the
new and expensive establishment. q
need for few of them came to light
today when it was discovered that the
navy has estimated for new power
plants alone for all the yards. except
Washington. and that approximately
81 100000 will be required for this new
accessory alone.
AS explained by Admiral Harris. the
new gun shops and new machine shops
generally require more tools and more
tools require more power. The great
big dry dock at Norfolk. which will be
able to lift a dreadnaught out of wa
ter, will require 2,400 horsepower more
than there is in the yard at present.
The Norfolk yard. it was brought out,
will be one of the greatest navy yards
in the world when the naval plans for
that establishment have been COM
pleted. In reality the plans contem-
plate a complete rebuilding of the pres
emit establishment on a vast scale.

This convention has adopted a plat
form which every loyal American citi-
zen can support in the coming election
and upon which any loyal American cit
izen can become a candidate for the
votes of his fellow citizens. You have
declared your intention respecting the
internal policies Of this country, and
you have also gone upon record IN most
unequivocal language respecting the
foreign policy which you purpose TO
adopt.

moment TO the fact that an internal
policy may be changed, may be repealed,
may be amended, at any moment, and
for only a moment, possibly. or for
short span, the general welfare of the
country be affected.
But, fellow citizens, in your foreign
affairs one act of omission or of COM
mission may change the history of this
country forever and may affect the des-
TIMES of one hundred millions OF peo-
pie.
Upon the platform which you have
made and in the critical period in which
we are now laboring, at any rate, 1t be-
hooves you 10 be careful as TO whom
you select for your leader, because upon
the Executive depends the administra-
ton of foreign affairs.
The eyes of the leaders of all the
great warning nations are upon the
proceedings of this convention to-day.
The hopes of every neutral nation IN
the world are with you in your proceed
ings that you may secure for them and
for yourselves able and effective leader

of every one of your fellow citizens are
being offered to-day for your success
that in your deliberations you may
unite under one banner and under one
leader those voters of this country who
have at heart not the welfare of one
section but the welfare of the entire
country, who are endowed by the spirit
of those who made this country and OF
those heroes who preserved 1t.
Fellow citizens. in the vision OF
