II tdptalH A. E- bdthTop uses tHe same good judgment in prognosticat- ing his political views as he has al ways shown in selecting the high class films for the Empress theatre circuit, there will be nothing to the November election and Hughes and Wickersham will win in a walk He said;
 While MT. Hughes, our next presi- dent, did not tell me personally when met him at the big reception, that he was well pleased with the outlook of the present presidential campaign, I could discern by his pleasant and satisfied expression that he had every reason to feel that way, and then again the many prominent business and pro fessional men met from the east, on this trip to Seattle. were loud in their declarations that the entire east, es- pecially the great state of New York, was overwhelmingly for Hughes. The reception rendered Hughes in Seattle and the coast cities was one continu- al ovation. and the sentiment of the voters is strongly in his favor"
 In continuing the conversation rela- tive to national and territorial pOli- ties, Captain Lathrop said that in company with Ed Whittemore, the Republican wheel horse of Seward he called on the Honorable James Wickersham at the Frye Hotel, who said: You tell the boys in Anchor age and the coast towns that l am on my way and will make the campaign of my life" Captain Lathrop geneT- ously placed the Empress theatre at the disposal of Delegate Wickersham during his campaign tour of Anchor age, and this beautiful play house will soon be the scene of the biggest and most enthusiastic Republican rally eyer pulled off in this part Of Alaska
 While the itinerary of Mir. Wicker shams trip has not been fully de cided upon, the supposition is that he will start his whirlwind campaign at Ketchtkan and visit the towns along the coast in rapid succession with Anchorage the ultimate goal for the big windup rally for this part of Alaska.
 Captain Lathrop has been away from Anchorage for the past six weeks wis iting in Juneau and Seattle, and while he was, as usual. somewhat rettcent in reference to his personal affairs he did give out the information that he had successfully closed the biggest and best film deal ever made in Alas ka show houses.
 The contract calls for the efficient Triangle Film Corporation service, which deals strictly in clean high class dramas, comedies and various productions, meeting the demand of the moving picture public In closing with the Western Civilization Com pany. Captain Lathrop was indeed for tunate. as the famous civilization pie lures, graphically displaying and pie turing actual engagements of the great European war, are on the same line as the Birth of a Nation pictures. and are shown for the first time in Alaska in the Empress theatre circuit. These remarkable pictures are creating won. derful interest in the states and are having an unprecedented run.

OIL FIELDS TOO CO
WITH BUCHAREST
Paris Newspapers Refer in
Gloomy Terms to Ru-
manian Reverse.


PARIS, Dec. News OF the fall OF
Bucharest was received here with sor.
row and modification although it had
been regarded as inevitable since the
battle OF the Argechu was lost.
I'VE understand perfectly" says the
Petit Journal what the Rumanians
are suffering. for we too have suffer.
ed the sorrows of invasion. We as
sociate ourselves all the more with
their grief since we realize with bitter.
ness of spirit that We are partly re.
sponsible for the catastrophe which
was not due entirely to the military
ability Of the enemy's leaders,"
All newspapers say that events must
be lesson to the allies which ought
to spur them on to more rapid and ell.
crgetiC action and above all to the or,
ganized and effective use Of their com.
mon resources.
The commentators while generally
gloomy make the point that the Ru'
manians having abandoned Bucharest
have now a much shorter line from
which their armies having emerged in.
tact from the claws OF Germans en-.
veloping movement have good
chance OF holding until allies come TO
relief. But 1t is agreed that with the
fall Of Ploochti there appears no prob.
ability of saving the oil fields which
is considered the worst feature of the
situation.

SAYS ARABIA WAS
A TROOP SHIP
New German Note Contends
That Sinking Was With
in Law.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 7.-Gcrmany
in note made public by the State de
partment today contends that t\e Brit
ish steamer, Arabia. sunk in the Medi
tcrranean on November G. was in real
ity n transport ship for troops in the
service of the British government
which is to be considered as an auxili'
airy war ship according to information
al law and can therefore be treated
like warship. The German govern
ment's attitude, however, like that in
the Marina case is expressed TO be one
of readiness to make amends If it be
shown that the submarine commander
violated GCrmanys pledges to the
United States.
What action the State department
will take is prOblematical. Should it
be shown that the Arabia was. as Ger,
many contends, a transport. this gov
eminent probably would admit the
sinking was justified. II. however. it is
shown that the submarine commander
was mistaken in holding her to be a
transport most serious situation will
confront the State department. At
the time the Sussex was sunk Ger
many was told that this governments
could not tolerate "rcgrettIb!e mis-
takes"

tBy Associated prcsS)
WASHINGTON, Dec. I. - Former
Senator Root in paper read here to-
day at the opening session of the Anti
Suffrage convention outlined his rea.
son for opposition to the proposed con-
stitutiOnal amendment to enfranchise
women.
Il am against having the Constitu.
tion of the United States amended so
as to impose woman's suffrage on the
states which do not wish for it, nol
merely, but chiefly because my judg.
ment does not approve Of wOman's
suffrage but for much more vital rea-
son. said Mr.. Roots paper. 1T is a
destruction of the right OF self govern
ment and subsection of the people
of New York to the government OF 9th.
ers.
Having failed to secure the assent
to womans suffrage OF such states as
South Dakota and West Virginia aud
New York and Pennsylvania and Ohio,
the advocates of woman'S suffrage
now seek to compel such states to ac-
cept 1t against their will and to com.
pei them to carry on their local gov
eminent and select their representa-
tivcs in national government in con-
formity to the opinion OF the people OF
other states who are i'll favor OF wo.
mans suffrage. ! think such an at.
tempt is contrary to the principles of
liberty upon which the American un-
ion was established and without which

BUCHAREST IS
DESERTED WHEN
GERMANS ENTER
Fate of Visiting Armies is
Not Learned From the
Dispatches.

Tho brief dispatches i'll which the
fall of Bucharest was announced left
in doubt the fate Of the armies which
were resisting the advance of the leu
tonic invaders. II is assumed in most
entente quarters, however, that there
was no last stand" by the Rumanians
before their capital and such news as
had tricklcd through from German
sources indicates that Bucharest was
virtually deserted when the Teutonic
forces entered. The city is said to have
been found uninjurcd.
Military commentators in the en-
tente capitals point to the probability
that the action just prior TO the cap
ture of Bucharest were fought merely
with a view to delaying the advance
of field marshal Won Mackcnsens fore,
es and aiding in the escape Of the
main body Of the Rumanians. The
capture Of PlOechti, the railway june
ton SO miles north of Bucharest how,
ever, may have blocked the rctrea,
OF fart of the Rumanian forces.
German opinion is expressed to the
effect that the Rumanians have decid'
cd to abandon all Of Wallachia, the
main portion of trc Rumanian king
dom and retire to MOldavie their north
eastern province where their fronts
would be materially shortened
and where they would be in close
touch with the Russians.
Emperor William has sent following
kilograms to Field Marshal Won Mack
cnsen in command of reutOnic forces
on southern Rumanian front: 1T Is
your EXcellency's birthday today and
the ever memorial capture OF BuChar
est the capital of the trcaCherous enc
my who was the last to appear in arms
against us. gives me the occasion my
