T. R. FOR MANDATORY SERVICE
mo One Should Be Allowed to Vote
Who Has Not Trained"


Theodore Roosevelt has written the
following letter to Lieut.-Gen. s. B. NJ
Young, U. S. A. retired, president of
the Association for National Service
which aims to make military service
mandatory:
"My Dear General Young: / most
cordially and emphatically approfe
your efforts as president of the AS
sociation for National Service, to Sc
cure the passage OF law making it
obligatory upon every male American
citizen between the ages of Is and u
to serve six months or year-as the
case may demand-in the field with
the colors.
81 believe no one should be allowed
to vote who has not thus served
Poltroons and professional pacifists
are out of place in free republic.
There should be education toward
military training along the lines fol-
lowed in Australia, Argentina, Switz
erland and Japan. No man is fit TO
be a freeman unless he has fitted
himself to fight efficiently for his free
dom. With all good wishes, am. your
fellow American,
Theodore Roosevelt"

DUMA WINS IN RUSSIA
Appointment of Trepoff as Minister Is
Victory for the People.

Petrograd, Nov 24.-AlexandeI
Trepoff, Minister of Ways and Com
munications, has been appointed Pre-
mier to succeed NJ. Sturmer. who by
an imperial ukase has been appointed
Grand Chamberlain of the Imperial
Court, retaining his functions as a
member of the Council of the Empire
The Council OF the Empire has been
adjourned by imperial ukase until
Dec 2.
The resignation of NJ. Sturmer as
Premier and Foreign Minister hao
long been accepted as an inevitable
outcome of the struggle between the
present Cabinet and the Duma. 1t
caused no more than mild surprise,
and this was due less to the event IT.
self than the rapidity with which. the
situation matured since the definite
break between the Duma and the Gov
ernment.
Ii is almost impossible to overesti-
mate not only the political but the
national significance of the Duma vic
tory. since for the first time in history
Russian public opinion is considered
to have triumphed over influences
which were regarded as antagonistic
to good government
NJ. Thepoff's appointment to the
post of Prime Minister is greeted with
satisfaction by the newspapers, which
however, express the opinion that this
is only the first step taken toward
carrying out the program which is
dictated by present political necessi-
ties. According to the Reich, the
resignation of NJ. Sturmer is the first
occasion in the course of Russia's con-
stitutional history which clearly es-
tablishes between the Government
and the majority the voice of the Du-
ma.
THE Duma," says the Reth, has
accomplished its first object. but it
does not necessarily follow that the
rest of the program will be executed.
The changes in the cabinet desired by
the majority in the Duma have not
been fully carried out. Only the
chief figure has been put aside. Fur
ther changes must follow, the most
important of which is the dismissal of
the Minister of the Interior. and the
appointment of a proper person as For
eign Minister"

ADAMsoN LAW TEST
Attorney General Gregory Approves

Washington. Nov 20,-Attorney- Cen
eral Gregory telegraphed the govern
ment lawyers in Kansas City last
night that he approved the plans for
expediting TO the supreme court
test case to determine the constitu-
tionality Of the Adamson act agreed
upon there by the government coun-
sci and railroad lawyers The case
to be used as a test is that brought
by the Missouri, Oklahoma and Gulf
railroad, in which Judge Hook of the
federal court at Kansas City decided
against the government
AS understood in Washington, the
carriers coming into the agreement
would keep such accounts as are nee
essary under the law to make pay
ments to the affected employees in
case the law is held constitutional
This requirement was Incorporated in
Judge Hooks decision in the Mis-
souri, case. The agreement also would
provide that railroads should not file
new suits attacking the Adamson law
pending the supreme courts decision,
and should not institute further ac-
tions if the law be held valid. 1t
would not seek to prevent effort to
obtain legislation amending the Ad-
amson act, however. M

THREATEN
BUCHAREST
Armies Advancing on Pumanian
Capital From Three Directions
CONTROL WESTERN WAllACAIA
German Attempts to Cross Danube
epiritedy Resisted by Russians
and Rumanlans.

London, Nov. 25.-The forces of the
central powers seemingly are endeav'
oring to drive on Bucharest, the Ru-
manian capital, from three direc'
tions. To the west the troops of Gen
Won Falkenhayn have reached the Alt
river; to the north, the Germans and
Austro- -Hungarians are pressing south
ward from the Predeal and Torzbrger
passes. and somewhere along the
Danube, either to the south or
southeast the forces of Field Marshal
Won Mackensen are crossing the
river.
Western Wallachia apparently is
entirely in the hands of the Teutonic
allies, as both Berlin and Vienna re-
port that the line of the Alt has been
reached. Some Rumanians remain in
the rear around Orsova, but that town
as we'll as Turnu-Severin, has been oc-
cupied by the Teutonic troops and the
Rumanians doubtless have fled into
the mountains northward. The pres
sure of the German and Austro-Hun-
garian troops continues north ana
northwest of Bucharest.
Violent fighting has again broken
out in Dobrudja. While attempting
to hold the Russians and Rumanians
in check north Of the Tchernavoda-
Constanza railway line, Field Marshal
Won Mackensen, Berlin records, has
thrown his men across the Danube at
several places, but just where is not
stated Bucharest says that an at
tempt by the Germans to cross the
Danube at zmmnitzaz, 20 miles south
west of Bucharest, failed. Fighting
has been reported in the region of
Silistria, on the Danube, southeast of
the Rumanian capital, during the past
few days. and 1t may be that the Ger
man crossings of the river were made
between Tchernavoda and Giurgevo.
The Russians and Rumanians have
taken the offensive successfully in
Dobrudja, north of the Tchernavoda-
Constant railway, Bucharest and Pet
rograd assert. The Rumanians ad-
vanced on the whole front, especially
in the center and on the left wing, and
north of the railway. Berlin declares
the Russian offensive in Dobrudja was
thrown back.
In Macedonia the entente offensive
continues to progress. Servian troops
have occupied Rapesh, east of Monas-
tir. North of Suhodol the Servians
put a German force to fight Berlin
says there has been renewed ar
tillery firing along the front in Mace
donia, and Sofia claims the repulse of
attacks east of Paraloyo and between
Lakes Presba and Ochrida.
There has been no infantry activity
on the front in France on large scale
but the artillery bombardments by
both sides north and south of the
Somme have increased in intensity.
Berlin reports the repulse of several
small British attacks, and London de-
olares German attempt south of
Puisieux was frustrated.

HEAVY LEE INSURANCE
II. T. Dunn Has PoIocies for Million
and Three-Quarters.

n. 7. Dunn Has PolocieS Tor Million
and Three-Quarters.
New York, Nov 24.--H. T. Dunn of
Toledo, vice-president of the WHY'S
Overland company, and president OF
the Fisk Rubber company, mas taken
out life insurance for little more
than S1,750,000 This became known
yesterday when the last of the policies
was issued and the big transaction be-
came a topic of discussion among in
surance men.
Rodman Wanamaker, according TO
report, carries more life insurance
than this amount; John Wanamaker
is supposed to carry as much, but Mr..
Dunn. nevertheless, Is one of the most
heavily insured men in the world.
When it was disclosed that Tom
Sheylin, the former Yale coach, had
been insured for $1.000,000 not long
before his death, the fact caused CON
siderable comment, but Mr. Dunn is
insured fer almost twice this sum.
Part of the insurance is made out in
favor OF the companies with which Mr..
Dunn is connected. The rest is in
come insurance for his wife and
daughter, paying them handsome an
nuities after his death.
The Toledo man is Al years old, and
five physicians who examined him
pronounced him an excellent risk.
The policies were issued BY twelve
companies, the largest risk assumed
by one company being in the neighbor-
hood of S250,000. 1t took four solid
days to put Mr. Dunn through the ply
sicial examination and to attend to
the mass of detail incident upon is
suing the many policies.
