Slips Behind Enemy.
The great usefulness of the automo-
biles has been most apparent in Ru-
mania, where the character of the war
fare makes it possible to slip behind
the opponents lines. On a recent ex-
ploit of this kind the commander work
ed his way to the rear of a body of Ru-.
manian infantry which was intrench-
ing, and almost before the Rumanians
were aware of the cars presence it had
swept the trenches with machine-gun
fire and driven the defenders out in dis
order.
None Of the German automobiles of
this type used in Rumania has as yet
been disabled or destroyed by oppo-
nents. The bullets thus far encoun-
tered have hardly dented the shells OF
the machine.
The chief advantage of the new au-
tomobile, in contrast with the British
machine, is that it can run at an aver
age speed Of twenty-five miles an hour,
as contrasted with the Snaillike pace OF
the entente cars. Its speed frequently
enables it to scout even ahead of the
cavalry, and it can make it's way over
any road or even a field.

AT GEN. Won FALKENHAYN'S
HEADQUARTERS IN RUMANIA. De-
cember 9. via London.-One of the most
interesting features Of the Rumanian cam
paign from German standpoint has been
the spectacular work of the new armored
automobiles evolved soon after the advent
Of the British tanks on the Somme
front, but which the developments in
Rumania have shown to be vast I'M
provement in efficiency over the British
machines.
Even in the brief tests it has had since
the Germans crossed the mountains into
the Rumanian plains the new German
armored car has shown itself an efficient
auxiliary to the cavalry in patrol work.
as it frequently can infiict infinitely more
damage than a whole squadron and Is
far more difficult to destroy than the
English invention. Its achievements SO
far include an attack on Rumanian in
fantry in which 800 men were killed.
Advantages of Car.
The cars are twenty-five feet in length
with wheels foot wide and incased in
solid rubber. They carry crew OF ten
men, including the machine gun opera
tors the chauffeur and one substitute and
one officer. The machine guns can be
operated in almost any direction through
narrow Sits At one end under the GUS
toinary hood is 100-horsepower motor
and at the other end under similar hood
iss the gasoline tank. Each man in the
crew is an expert mechanic and chauf-

the top of the turret can be opened so
that a man can get his shoulders out
and make observations. When the
tufret is closed periscopes are placed
ins position, which permit a view of
the surrounding landscape from all
angles.
Engines Unable to Escape.
there have been many odd expe-
riences with these automobiles in Ru
mania On one of the first trips a car
entered a village not yet captured.
where the officer and his crew were
taken for Russians because the Ger
mans were not supposed to have ar
nfUred cars. Just as the crew was be-
ing enthusiastically greeted three Ru-
naanian locomotive drivers tried to get
their engines away. but the automobile
was too swift for them. 1t raced
ahead. the crew destroyed a portion
OF the track and the automobile re-
c61yed the engines with a withering
IRE which forced their surrender after
tiny had been disabled.
On the return to the village the crew
was again greeted by the population,
rSpder.
On another occasion an automobile
encountered a force of Rumanian in
f8htry and opened fire before the troops
could seek shelter. The Rumanians

FOR RETIRING EMPLOYEES
whom AGE D|SABLES
Public Printer Ford Makes Recon-
mendation-Also Would Increase
Pay Of Force.

Retirement of employees of the gov
ernment printing Office who are ad-
vanced in age and the increase of pay
binder machine operators. are urged by
Cornelius Ford, public printer, in his
annual report just made to Congress.
1t Is stated in the report that "in
the employ of the office are many male
and female employees ranging in age
from sixty to eighty years. and it is
obvious that their services are not as
valuable as would be the services OF
younger persons. Their earning power
decreases as age advances, and this fact
is particularly observable in a manu-
featuring establishment such as the
government printing Office"
An increase of pay of from SO cents
to 55 cents per hour for printers and
bookbinders and from SIS cents to so
cents per hour for bookbinder machine
operators is recommended in the re-
port THE work handled by these en-
ployes is of a technical nature, requir-
ing knowledge and skill, and the Ques-
ton of authorizing the increased pay
has been acted upon favorably by Con-
gress at different times, but never en-
acted into law. The annual expense in
volved by the proposed increase would
be approximately $4,000.
Asks for New Building.
In his recommendation for a new
building Mr.. Ford states the absolute
need is becoming more urgent every day.
The condition of the old building is
such, the report states. that it cannot be
used to advantage for anything except
storage. and even for such purpose it
can be used only to limited extent. for
the reason that the walls and floors are
not strong enough to support any great
weight. "
Attention is directed to the fact that If
fire should break out in the building 1t
would possibly be destroyed with it's
ontents. and the fire might reach the
new building. The old structure has
been condemned several times, it is
stated.
The resurfacing of the sidewalks about
the old building is also asked for; to
cost $1,000. Congress is urged to give
larger appropriations for the printing
and binding for the patent Office, and
also for the Library of Congress, as it is
stated there is not sufficient money al
lowed for the work.
