BOTH SIDES LOSE
IN THE DOBRUDJA
IN THE JUL VALLEY AND PRE-

WIN ON SOMME
GERMANS FORCED TO FALL BACK
AT SEVERAL POINTS AFTER
STUBBORN BATTLE.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London-After a week or more of
doubt concerning operations in the
Dobrudja region of Rumania, where
the Teutonic allies had been marching
almost unimpeded northward from the
Black sea to the Danube, comes the
report that the Rumanians have taken
the offensive, probably aided by Rus
slams and compelled the enemy to re-
treat at several points. On the Tran
sylvania front, however, the Ruma
mans in the jul valley, who for Some
time had been holding the upper hand
over the Austro-Germans, forcing them
to give ground, have now been stopped,
the Teutons having brought up rein
forcements. In the Predeal pass re-
gion, after heavy fighting the Ruma-
mans also have met with a reverse,
being compelled to retreat after long
and stubborn battles.
All along the battle line in France
between the Somme and Ancre rivers,
the Germans are tenaciOusly disputing
attempts by the British and French to
gain further ground.
Berlin says that in Sundays fight
ing over a front of twelve miles the
French and British suffered heavy cas-
ualties and won nothing except local
gain in the st. Pierre Vaast wood.
London admits that the British were
compelled to give back to the Germans
fho Drit iCL hnd
at the Butte De Warlencourt.
In the St. Pierre Vaast wood, how
ever, the French Monday made fur
ther advance in the northern part OF
the wood and captured additional pris-
oners-600 Of whom were taken in the
fighting of Sunday and Monday
Rome reports that the Austrians are
bringing up heavy reinforcements on
the battle front north of Triest Here
the Austrians apparently have taken
the offensive, but nowhere have they
been able to regain any of their lost
positions, according to Rome.
Bombardments and small infantry
attacks continue to feature the fight
ing in the Macedonian theater.
London reports that British sub
marine in the North sea, off the Dan
ish coast, has scored hit on Ger
man battleship of the dreadnought
class. The amount of damage done to
the battleship is not known by the
British admiralty.

FOREIGN TRADE $1,000, 10000
September Was Banner Month and Ex.
perts Say October Will Exceed
All Previous Figures.


All Previous Figures.
New York-The foreign trade of the
United States for the calendar year
of 1916 will approximate the sum of
$4,000, 100000, or about one-fifth OF the
entire international trade of the world,
according to estimates made public
here by the foreign trade department
of the National City bank.
1t will be SO per cent greater than
in 1915, and double that of 1914. Ex-
cess of exports over imports will ap-
proximate $3,OO0,O00,000, against ST.
768, 1884, 900 in 1915, $324,34S,O00 in 1914,
and $691, ,422,0O0 in 1913.
Complete figures of the commerce
from the entire country in the nine
months ending with September are at
hand, as are also those of this port,
which is accepted as an index Of the
entire country's trade for October. Fig
ures for the nine months ending with
September show total commerce OF
$3.50, 100000 against 1888 100000 in
the corresponding period Of 1915, and
$2,877, 100000 in the nine months Of
1914.
October figures of the port of New
York indicate that the total trade Will
equal and probably exceed that of Sep
tember. Both imports and exports will
make new records in the current year.

Surprised Dinner Party.

In a recently published book Sir
Henry Lucy has a charming story of
the late Canon Anger. The canon
was very fond of children, and set out
one night to attend party given "bg
children for children"
Don't announce me-" he said to the
servant.
Leaving his coat and hat downstairs
he quietly opened the drawing-rOom
door, where the buzz Of voices an
nounced the presence of company.
Dropping on his hands AMI knees he
entered, making strange noises distinct
ly resembling the neighing of horse.
Aware of a dead silence, he looked up
and found the guests assembled for an
eight-O'clOck dinner regarding him
with disgust not unmixed with alarm
The children's party was next door.

ToLiue Long!

A recipe given by a famous ply
sician for long life was: keep the
kidneys in good order! Try to elimi-
nate through the skin and intestines
the poisons that otherwise clog the kid
neys. Avoid eating meat as much as
possible; avoid too much salt, alcohol,
tea. Drink plenty of water"
For those past middle life, for those
easily recognized symptoms of infiam-
nation, as backache, scalding water"
or if uric acid in the blood has caused
rheumatism, "rusty" joints, stiffness,
get Anuric at the drug store. This is
a wonderful eliminator of uric acid and
was discovered by DR.. Pierce of In
valids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. If your
druggist does not keep it send 10 cents
to DR.. Pierce for trial package and you
will know that it is many times
more potent than lithia and that 1t dis
solves uric. acid as hot water does
sugar.

Must Pay Back 500, 900 in Fees.

Denver-County clerks and former
county clerks in all parts OF the state
were hard hit by a decision of the
state Supreme Court handed down
which will require them to return
more than 100000 to the treasures
Of the counties where they have held
office. The Legislature in 1911 passed
a law permitting the county clerks to
retain 25 cents on every hunting and
fishing license issued, the law being
section of the statutes which estab-
lished the game and fish department
and defined it's duties.

Incorriuibie Flirt.

A newly married couple have just
moved into bungalow in what the
real estate people call "a new develop

the property to the railway station.
This car, which Oike the Toonerville
trolley meets all trains, is manned, as
usual, by a conductor and motor
man both of whom are naturally on
very friendly terms with the patrons.
The other day the brides mother came
to visit her. She noticed that her

ward the electric car as it passed the
house. "Why, Gladys" said the old
lady, "do you know all the conductors

1t was little Marthas bedtime, and

"THE TNWRITTEN LAW"

''The Unwritten Law which is to
be shown at the Bison theatre on May
27th, suggests the sensational type Of
photodrama. 1t is sensational but
at the same time free from any taint
of cheap sensationalism.
There is a fight, Q personal en-
counter between the hero and the
william, and this scene is plentifully
provided with punch"
There is a lurid fire endangerins
the lives of a young mother and her
precious baby, while the husband
lying in the stupor of alcohol is
nearly devoured by the flames.
A wedding and murder, night
life in the ''family ROOM of a sordid
resort, and brilliant cabaret scenes.
Finally, there is the court room
scene, fiawlessly presented, in which
the issue of the far-reaching plot are
brought to a logical and happy con-
clusion
These are some of the features
that are presented in the most real
istic picture in which the talented
emotional actress Beatriz Michelens
has yet appeared.

IT RAINED

For some time past reports have
been coming in of rains all around
Malta, but it was not until yesterday
forenoon that the welcome drops
began falling in the city. And 1T
rained all day, not few scattering
drops, but steady downpour that
commenced about 10 a. m. and con-
tinued into the night. 1t was most
welcome and comes right when most
needed to assist the growing crops.
This dispels all thought of a dry
year and the dry land farmers in the
country tributary to Malta are about
the happiest bunch Of farmers to be
found anywhere 1t is reported
that big rain storm struck the sec
tion in the vicinity of Woodbridge
Tuesday night and all through the
Beaver creek country. This assures
a big hay crop on the Beaver fiat
which has always produced thous-
ands of tons of the best blue joint on
