London Has Hopes.

London, Nov. 29.-Progress of Field
Marshal Won Maekensen's IS forces from
the newly captured town of Giurgin, on
the Danube, was the crux of the Ruman-
ian situation .today. If the Teuton
wedge of entry can be blunted and its
power stopped until the Rumanian army
has fallen back to its latest line of de;
fenses-prcsumably along the Argesii
river-the Rumanians, reinforced by the
Russians, may yet turn their retirement
-iuto victory.
1t was pointed out here as q con-
tinued augury of hope in the Rumanian
situation that the Berlin official state
,uents are still significantly silent as t9
captures of large bodies or troops or OF
transport upplies-indicating, in view
of the allies that the Rumanian retreat
has been an orderly one and that it has
escaped most of the encircling move
fnents on which the German Balkan has
been based.
Paris reports that the capital of Ru.
mania has temporarily been established
at Jassy, about 200 miles northeast of
Bucharest, close on the Russian line,
were unconfirmed Such move, how
ever, would not be unexpected. With
German forces in control of Giurgin
they are only 36 miles distant from the
present capital. In front OF them, how
ever, lies an unfavorable terrain and ia
the intervening SO miles there are three
rivers to be crossed, each well situated
for defensive purposes.

HIGH COST OF LIVING

New York, Nov. 29.-The high cost
of loving hasn't kept young America
from it. Love, it would appear, laughs
at the high price of eggs. Figures
gathered from all corners of the country
by the United Press today show that
more people have fallen for the two

eggs and other foodstuffs began to sky
rocket than ever before.
It's true on Manhattan Island, it'c

Take Boston; one thousand and seven
tfustful pairs signed contracts in Oc-
tober to fight the cost of living to-
gether. In the October Of a year ago,
only 927 had the courage. Thus far
this month the number has been 900,
while in the whole month last year, only
S66 would take the chance.
Or Chicago: all records are being
broken in Chicago. In October, 1915
the number was 1888; October, 1916, II
was 3 ,203. In November, 1915, it was
1856; already 3.052 have been issued

GERMANY'S ACTION IS
CLASSEO AS |NHUMAN
Berlin Will Be Told Deporta-
lion Of Belgians Is
Displeasing
BY Robert j. Bender

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, Nov. 29.-United States
Ambassador Gerard will confer today
with President Wilson OH instructions
he will carry back with him to Berlin,
December 5, bearing on different ques-
tions now pending between this gov
ernment and Germany.
The most aggravating matter in
which the two governments are now
at issue is admitted in official circles
to be the deportation of Belgian civil
ians into Germany. 1t is contended by
this government that wrestling Belgian
men from their families to work in
the mines Of Germany, while Belgian
women and children are left to suffer,
is inhumane. But beyond plea for dis.
continuing the practice on this grouno,
the United States is helpless. Neverths-
less, President Wilson, through Geraru,
will make it very plain that the civil,
lied world will look with strong dis
favor on continuance Of the new plan
inaugurated by Germany.
= While there is no admission forthcom-
ing in administration circles that any
alarm or even uneasiness is felt ut re-
ports of Germany's contemplated re-
vival Of her former submarine cam
paign, Gerard will convey to tht Ger
man government President Wilson s at
titude on this question. He will en-
phasize that this government has gone
as far as its patience will admit anC
that any action by German U boat com
manders showing "intent" to violare
pledges given following the Susses
sinking, will be met according to the
plan laid down by the president at that
time. Gerard will see the president
again in New York Saturday nigh,
when the president goes to participate
in ceremonies marking the illumination
of the Statute of Liberty.

After the admission Of disaster by

New York, Nov. 29.-''Cold blooded
