sion closing all saloons on the day Oh

day, LIQUID celebrations OF the event
NAV take place only outside the pre-
cincts of the District during tnose

Besides placing a ban on the ao-
sorbing OF alcoholic drinks in the

sion of any citizens of unsteady gait.

the Germanic troops carried their
thrust to the frontier OF Southern Mol

South Of Torzberger Pass the in
vaders to-day captured the village OF
Liresht. almost within striking dis
tance Of Campulung. The capture OF
Campulung seems almost inevitable.
Besides giving the Teutons grip on
still another railroad 20 Bucharest, the
fall of Campulung will make possible
the junction of the forces operating in
this sector with those moving down the
AIT Valley. 10 the west. A joint drive
on the important town OF Pitesci would
be the probable sequel TO such juno
ton.

pressing forward, taking constant sa-
vantage of their superiority IN num-
bers. The operations yesterday south
Of the Red Tower Pass cost the Ku-
