London. Nov. 2s.-A Russian an

German forces are closing in rapidly
on Bucharest from the west
Rochi de Vede is about forty-five
miles southwest OF the Roumanian
capital and valeni is fifty-five miles
west.
The advance brings up the front of
the invaders in this sector approx.
mately on line with the forces fur
ther south. which were reported by
Berlin TO have arrived before Alex.
andria, forty-seven miles southwest of
Bucharest
The Teutonic campaign against
Roumania is developing rapidly with
a oonverging drive on Bucharest from
three directions in progress.
The immediate threat to the capital
seems to be greatest on the south.

Field Marshal won Mackensen had
forced the passage of the Danube at
two points and effected a junction
with the armies of General Won Falk-
enhayn. which are pressing rapidly
eastward after having broken the
Roumanian resistance on the Lower

The rapid Teutonic advance south
east of Craiova turned the flank of
the Alt position, as did the Danube
crossings.
These factors. together with the
continued pressure on the northern
end of the line, also theoretically out

Roumanian abandonment of the Alt
line.

The threat on the north and north

TRUE sANCTITY.

At the gates of the forest the surprised men of the world is forced to leave his city estimates of great and small wise and foolish. The knapsack of custom falls off his back with the first step he makes into these precincts. Here is sanctty which shames religions and reality which discredits heroes. Here We find Nature to be the circum- stance which dwarfs every other circumstances and judges like god. all men who come to her. We have crept out of close and crowded houses into the night and morning. and We see what majestic beauties daily wrap us in their bosom. How will ngly We would escape the barriers which render them comparatively mpotent, escape the sophistica- tion and second thought, and suffer Nature to en- trance us.-Emerson

IT LOOKS SERIOUS.

If teegraphic reports to be believed, the stu- aton in Mexico has reached point where war of conquest is the only alternative left the United States And while this never intended, yet it appears as though it had become necessary in order to have a say in whether We should have peace not. The first expedition sent out capture Villa and his gang, has thus far been unsuccessful Villa reported yesterday having established base of supply. From that he still be at large and apparently is cumulating momentum since some two thousand men reported have joined him and his forces the last day or so. Should this accumulation of strength con- tnue it will be but a short time before the whole of the country will be fighting and Carranza and with our handful of men, We shall have a nice time of it. However it may be that the Mexcans will be as generous as we have been and will give us a chance to prepare ourselves to fight them Haven't given them plenty of time to become good Haven't waited them long enough?

WAS SHE A DREAM.

How shall I find name for the subtle feeling which seized hold upon me this morning, in the twi- light of waking? It was reminiscence charming indeed, but nameless, vague and featureless, like the figure of seen for an instant by sick man in the uncertainty of delirium and across the shadows of his darkened room. I had distinct of form which I had seen somewhere and which had moved and charmed me once and then had fallen back with time into the catacombs of ob- llvigon But all the rest was confused, place, sion and the figure itself for saw neither the face nor the expression. The whole like a flutterng veil under which the enigma-the secret of happi- ness-might have been hidden And I was awake enough to be sure it not a dream.-Henri Fred eric Amel.

Arsenic Absorbed by LIVING Hair.

New light has been thrown on the
legal side Of arsenic poisoning, says
the Scientific American. 1t has been
found that arsenic compounds are abb
sOrbed by the hair of living persons
though not absorbed after death. In
the hair of man arsenic has been
known to reach a concentration Of one
to five parts in 100000. The deposit
takes place in the hair after it has
been absorbed by the abdominal or
gans-liyer and kidneys in particular,
Therefore, in cases. of acute, quick
poisoning a chemical analysis Of the
hail. would show no arsenic, while it
would be found in the liver and kid
neys. On the other hand, if slow ar
senic poisoning were suspected, an
alysis would show arsenic in the hair,
but not in the liver and Kidneys, and
it could be safely assumed that the
poisoning was not recent. The legal
value of such evidence is apparent. 2s.
