Pressing Russians Closely

BERLIN, Dec. 90, (wirelss to Say. ville.) e.).-""TEe Russians defeated in eastern Wallachia are being driven toward the Sereth by their pursuers. who ale pressing on closely at their rear" writes the military critic of the Overseas News Agency In vain did the Russians attempt to hold the strong prepared position east of Rim nik-Sarat and between the Rimnik and l3uZeu rivers. The country was fitted eXcellently for defensive, be- ing covered with swamps, winding riyulets. and extensive lakes. But again they were defeated and every where the battle was covered with heaps of dead Russians.
 Rinnik- -Sarat, ir spite of a tena- cious defense, was taken with such speed that the Russians succeeded only in destroying one bridge south of the tOWn while the most import ant bridges across the Rimnik fell undamaged into the hands of the conquerers. The railroad station was defended stubbornly and to the last by the Russians. The last train to depart. which was crowded with flee ing Russians. was hit by shells from the Austro- German batteries.
 The rapidly advancing troops or the central powers also extended their successes to the west of Rimnik- Sarat and occupied 25 kilometers of the length of the Rirnnik valley. The yil lage of Dumitresti which is the cross- ing point of three mountain roads has been reached.

Goino After SmuuoIers


 SAN ANTONIO. Tex. Dec. 30.-In formation that an attempt was made tC smuggle a quantity of ammunitioA across the Rio Grande into Mexico was responsible for the dispatch of American troops to points below La redo tonight, According to informa- tion received by military authorities here a squad of cavalry and mount ed machine gun company were or dered to designated points along tho river with instructions to intercept any persons attempting to cross and to seize any and all contraband in their possession.
 It was believed in Mexican circles that the munitions belong to the Felicistas, or followers of Felix Diaz and that its movement across the border was delegated to certain mem bers of a filibustering expedition, which passed south into Mexico sev- eral days ago. Federal officials said these revolutionists were adding ts their ranks as they rapidly made their way south.
 Federal officials here are investi / gatins another report from Carranz. sources that the attempt to smuggle munitions across the border was be- ing made in the interest of Villistas.
 Late tonight no report had reached department headquarters from the machine gun company sent to inter cept the smugglers.

LINENS GETTING scARcER.

Summing up the linen situation
recently, one of the principal import
ers to this market spoke this way:
Business is as active as it ever is
at this time of the year, when every
one is trying to reduce stocks as far
as possible before taking inventory,
and orders are placed only for goods
that are really needed to meet some
special demand or TO fill out bro
ken line. Flax continues to get
scarcer and dearer as time goes on,
and linens of all kinds are also get
ting scarcer and dearer. This will
continue, at least, until the war ends.
In many cases merchandise is still
being let out in this market below
the cost of replacement, and this will
be done as long as present methods
of averaging up buying and selling
prices are retained" - New York

MARINE BANDS GREATER
USE DESIRED THIS YEAR
Cavalry Musicians, Sent to Mexican
Border, Not Available for
Summer Concerts.

Having been informed by the War
Department that the Engineer Band at
Washington barracks probably will be
the only army band available for con-
certs in the parks of the District the
coming summer. Col. Harris. in charge
of public buildings and grounds, has
suggested that the Navy Department
be asked to permit a more extended use
of the Marine Band for that purpose.
The original plan contemplated the
use of the Marine Band. the Engineer
Band and the 9Th Cavalry Band, each
to give two concerts a week. The
cavalry band is now on the Mexican
border and is not at all likely to re
turn to Fort Mycr for several months
The Marine Band plays regularly at
the Capitol grounds each wednesday
and at the White House grounds each
Saturday in summer. The revised plan
is that either the Marine Band or the
Engineer Band shall give concert in
some park every day in the week eN-
cept Sunday. 1t may be arranged that
each band shall give three concerts a
week or that the Marine Band shall
give four and the Engineer Band two,
according to the necessities of the case.
The concert season begins June l ana
ends September 80.

Where Gallieni Got Credit.

To understand fully the secret history
of the past few months one must not
only be fully conversant with French poll
tics. but have profound knowledge of
the inner workings of the war govern
ment. A review of the more apparent
facts seems to show that Joffre and Cal
lieni were not in accord even in times of
peace. Joffre was then almost unknown
to France, while Gallieni, for family and
political reasons, was a rather prominent
figure But both men have been good and
loyal soldiers.
Gaflieni was credited with having saved
Paris in the days of the great German
drive by his ''taxicab army" So nearly
as l can get at the situation. he is en-
titled to credit in just proportion to the
other generals of the French army. and
in no greater measure. Joffres plan of
retreat was a well taken one. but it was
probably faulty in detail. He must have
formed each days plans in accord with
the days developments. GaIleni could
hardly have taken independent action
with his 10000 men in taxicabs. He prob
ably reported the possibility of action,
Just as Foch did when he struck on the
Marine with that wonderful Goth Corps
that Joffre thought was crushed and
broken

guished chiefly by certain imper
turbability coupled to sound common
sense. He is a good waiter, and has
faculty for selecting the best of the
many suggestions that come to him
daily. AS to his genius, Joffre has
made the best comment.
I'VE can never break the German
line some one said.
IF Napoleon were here he would
break it, was Joffre's reply.
