NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-Indications to-
day point more strongly than ever to the
probability that the new defensive line
of the Rumanians, following their re-
treat from Bucharest, will be drawn
along the Bugeu river, forming the
southern boundary of their northern
province of MOldavia.
Additional reports from Petrograd in
dictate a considerable measure of sue
cess by the Rumanian northern army
in holding up the Teutonic advance
northeast along the railroad from Ploech-
ii, north of Bucharest, to the town of
Buzeu, located at about the center of
the Buzeu river line, which stretches
eastward to the lower reaches of the
Danube.
1t is necessary to the apparent pur-
pose of the Rumanians for them to pre-
vent an Austro-German advance here
until the Rumanian forces farther south
in eastern Wallachia, retreating from
the region between Bucharest and Tcher-
navoda, have reached the Buzeu river
line. These Rumanian forces are threat
ened not only by Won Mackenzen's DAN
ube army but by new contingents of Bull
garianS which have CROSSED the Dam
Ube between Silistria and Tchernavoda.
Meanwhile the Russians are hammer
ing away at the Austro-German lines on
the western frontier of Moldavia and re-
port making Roadway in the valleys run
ming toward the west Their object ap-
parently is not only to hold the Molda-
Wan frontier safe but possibly to achieve
an eventual success in breaking well
through into Hungary and cutting in be-
hind the Austro-German supply lines
leading into Rumania from the north.
There has been little important fight
ing on the other fronts. In Macedonia
the Serbians report having driven the
Bulgarians back in one sector northeast
of Monastir. On the Franco-Belgian
front little has developed beyond inter-
mittent artillery activity in the Somme
area and aviation operations on a con-
siderable scale.
The Greek battleship Hydra, which is
under the control of the allies, has inter-
cepted, the Greek advices say, wireless
messages from King Constantine adj
dressed to Berlin.
All the Greek communities in Egypt, 1t
is added, have renowned their allegiance
to King Constantine.
Berlin today reports that pursuit of
the Rumanians is continuing, despite
heavy rains and the destruction of
bridges behind the retreating troops.
Resistance was encountered at some
places but this was overcome, it is de-
clared. The capture of several thou
sand additional prisoners is announced.
Another heavy attack by the French
and Serbians on the Macedonian front
northeast of Monastir, was repulsed, &C
cording to German army headquarters.

Bahnsen Warns Against
Tubercular Cattle

Or. Peter F. Bahnsen, the state veter-
marian, who has just returned from the
meeting of the United States Live Stock
and Sanitary ASSOCIATION in Chicago, de-
clared Monday that the outstanding fea-
ture of the meeting indicates the abso-
lutte necessity for Georgia live stock
breeders to be on guard against the in
PRODUCTION OF tuberculosis and conta-
gious abortion when purchasing cattle.
DIR. Bahnsen said that these two dis
eases are widely disseminated in the
breeding herds of the northern states
and thai their introduction into Georgia
on an extensive scale at this time would
be disastrous.
The department of agriculture, he
said, is very anxious to cooperate with
prospective purchasers of live stock in
the northern states so as to aid the pur-
chasers in avoiding tubercular anima;s
or animals out of herds affected with
conta gious abortion.

GEORGE ILL; DELAYS
STATEMENT TO COMMONS
New British Premier Has Com
pIeted Formation of War
Cabinet
nv ASS ,ciuted Prsss.)

LONDON, Dec. 11.-Premier Lloyd
George is i'll. He was unable to go to
Buckingham palace today with members
of his cabinet to receive the seals OF
office from King George
official announcement was made that
the premier was suffering from a severe
chill and that on the advice of his phy-
stefan he was remaining indoors today.
Andrew Bonar Law and the other
members of the ministry who are not
REQUIRED to seek reelection on assump-
ton of office, and also the lords who
are cooperating with the new admins
tration went to the palace at noon to-
day, kissed the hands of the king ana
received their seals of office.
Premier Lloyd-George has sent the FOL
lowing to all members of the house OF
commons, it was announced officially to-
day:
"The one predominant task before the
government is the vigorous prosecution
of the war to a triumphant conclusion
l feel confident the government can re-
ly on your support as long as they de-
vote their energies effectively TO that
end"
WAR CABINET FORMED.
The official list of the new min
istry issued last night follows
the unofficial forecasts with two
or three minor changes. Mr.. Lloyd
George, Lord Miner, Earl CurZon and
Bonar Law and Arthur Henderson form
what is officially termed the war cabi-
net, while the others who ordinarily
have been designated as cabinet minis
ters, are called heads of departments.
An important point in this novel or
SANITATION is that it concentrates far
more power in the hands of the prime
minister than the British system has
ever known before. Mr.. Lloyd-Georges
proposals to Premier Asquith were for
a war council, of which the premier
should not be a member, although he
should have the power of passing on
it's work. Mr.. Lloyd-George has not
hesitated to place himself in the posi-
ton more closely resembling a dictator
ship than he was willing to give his
predecessor.
The war cabinet will hold daily ses-
sions, directing the prosecution of the
war, and the freedom of Mr.. Lloyd
George, Lord Miner and Mr.. Hender-
son from departmental duties will allow
them to devote all their time to the war
council, the work of the eXchequer and
government leadership in the house of
commons Will absorb most of Mr.. Bonar
Laws time and attendance on the house
IT lords will necessitate Earl Curzon's
absence from the council. So that Mr..
Lloyd-George, Lord Miner and Mr.. Hen
derson will be the chief directors of the
war.

ADVERTISING ONES SELF

The story of the rise of Nathan l..
Amster from a small stakeholder to
chairman of the executive committee
of the Rock Island Railroad in three
years appeared not long ago in "A Chi
cago newspaper. Mr.. Amster accom-
plished this extraordinary thing by
advertising himself.
This man, who had only a few hun
dred dollars invested. became con-
vinced that the Rock Island properties
ought TO be paving dividends instead
of rapidly heading toward a receiver
ship. He was struck with the idea of
leaguing the small Stockholders to-
gether. He asked the company for a
list of the stockholders. but il was re-
fused. He tried many WAYS but could
not get the names. Then the thought
came to him of advertising for them,
and he started newspaper campaign
in every large city in the country.
His success was almost instantane-
GUS. Stories appeared in the newspa-
pers telling OF his fight. The small
stockholders rallied to the cause.
When the road was thrown into the
receivership. his opponents were grad
ually eliminated. and he was chosen
to head the new executive committee.
