gins by declaring:
Let nobody deceive himself about

not remain thus long. There must
come quickly either lessening of the

catastrophal decision.

The present condition appears I'M

can be read out of the latest semi-of-

mentous affair longer in the hands of

Peace Desired, Is Report.
BERLIN. February ), by wireless to

Lollal Anzeiger has telegraphed dis
patch concerning visit to Doberdo

RUNIANIANS MUST FALL
BACK TO SLAN ARMY

London, Dec. 6.-The fall Of Bu-
charest and Ploechti. announced in
the German official communication
tonight, has been confirmed, but the
position revealed by the previous Ger
man and Russian communiques left
little hope that the Rumanian capital
could be saved
The rapidity Of the advance of the
central powers seems to show that no
attempt was made to defend the capi-
tai and the actions fought have prob
ably been only Of a delaying nature.
The fall of Ploechti perhaps, is of
even greater importance than that of
Bucharest. Ploechti is a railway june
ton and the center of the great Oil
district of the Prahova valley. Unless
the Rumanians have been able to de-
stroy or disable the oil wells, machin-
cry and stores of oil the Germans
will get a much-needed prize. More
over, in the Prahova valley they are
on the line of retreat of a portion
of the Rumanian second army.
1t is believed that the Rumanians
will be compelled to retire until they
can secure a shorter line between the
Carpathians and the lower Danube,
which will be within easier reach Of
Russian reinforcemerts.

STRIKERS HAVE
RIGHT To PICKET,
SAYS j. s. COURT
Federal Circuit Court Of APP
peaIS ReverSeS Decision of
District Judge Modification
of Decree Is Ordered,

Chicago, Dec. 6.-The right of the
members of the Tri-City Central
Trades Council of East St Louis to
picket the plant Of the American Steel
foundries was upheld today by the
United States circuit court Of appel -
in a decision reversing the United
States district court. The lower court
was ordered to modify its decree en-
joining picketing and to enter IN ac-
cordance with the ruling of the upper
court,
"The right to strike for higher
wages and improved conditions OF
labor is too firmly established to ne
cesstate further eucidation,' the de-
cision said. 'In the pursuit Of a law
full purpose to secure a raise IN
wages picketing may be employed as
this court has held to ascertain whom
the late employer has persuaded or
attempted to persuade to accept en-
ployment, and persuasion may be
used to induce them to refuse or quit
employment.
Undoubtedly picketing and per-
suasion would interfere with Jhe
plaintiffs conduct of its business IN
making it more difficult for them to
retain old employees and hire new
ones. Indeed, the very act of strik-
ing often seriously interferes with that
free and unrestrained control of the
employers business. But the lawful
ness of the strike is not to be tested
by such incidental effect of it.
"The order in the present case fails
to recognize this difference between
the lawful means of interfering with
another's business as an incident to
the party's own right and unlawful
means adopted blythe same party
Methods may be considered lawful
even though the employers business
is interfered with because such meth
DDS are incidental to the right of the
employe, which right should be and is
recognized as equal to the right Of the
employer"

Justices Mack, Alschuler and Evans

The capture of Pleechti on the main
