Speech in ReiChtSag on Lat

The Hungarian and German troops
fighting on the center of the line in
Rnmania have emerged from the
swamp lands of the Jalomitza river
and made a crossing of the stream
near Receanu, about midway between
Bucharest and the important railroad
junction town of Buzen.
Before the invaders and Buzeu now

with no more rivers to cross until the

heavy rains and soggy ground, the
forces of the Teutonic allies all along
the front in Rumania continue to
make progress The Rumanian at
tacks which had held the invaders in
the Ploetchi region, now have been
broken according to Berlin. Several
thousand additional Rumanians have
been made prisoners.
Slav Attacks Rcpulscd.
In the fighting in the eastern Car
pathians and along the Moldavian
front, all the Russian attacks have
been repulsed, says the Berlin war
office.
Considerable heavy fighting has
again taken place in the Cerna river
region of Serbia. Both the Berlin and
Bulgarian war offices report the re-
pulse of strong entente allied attacks
in this sector, Berlin asserting that
the French and Serbians suffered
sanguinary losses. However, an ad
vance of several hundred yards
against the Teutonic allies west OF
Suohodol. northeast of Monastir, is re-
ported by the Serbian general staff
while the French official communica-

ECONOMIC PLEA
Of LIQUOR MEN
Rev, Charles SteIzIe Says Pro-

St Louis, Dec. IA reply to the
! financial arguments advanced in op-
position to prohibition was given at
the Federal Council Of Churches OF
Christ here tonight by Rev. Charles
Stelzle. field secretary of the council
Mr.. Stelzle said:
THE average working man fears
being out of a job more than he does
going TO hell The liquor interests
have capitalized upon this fear and
by presenting an array of figures
which seem to prove that a calamity
will follow the abolition Of the sa-
loon, they have persuaded large
number of working men to vote for
its retention.
What Census Returns Show.
"The entire argument Of the liquor
men is based upon the absurdity that
if the keeper fails to get a
mans money nobody can possibly get
it. The fact that if the money now
invested in the liquor business were
invested in the average American in
dustry it would give employment for
four times - many working men.
who collectively would receive four
times as much in the form Of wages,
and fourt times as much raw material
would be required than is now the
case in the liquor business. These fig
ures are based upon study of the
United States census returns.

ployed in the liquor business has been
greatly exaggerated. only / per cent

not at all peculiar to the liquor bust

Attention TO Farmers.
THE liquor men are paying great
deal of attention to the farmer They
are asking what will become of the

so much as a two-cent postage stamp

No EvangcIistic Campaign.
The council finally ordered that the
for nationwide !
evangelistic campaign under the aus
pices Of the Federal Council Of
Churches be eliminated from the re-
port of the commission on evangelism.
Several spoke against the plan.
The council adopted a resolution
calling for national prohibition under
an amendment to the federal constitu
ton and called on Christians through
out the world to cooperate in an ef-
fort 10 establish peace on a lasting ba-
sis of justice and good will.
