SOME SMALL LEAKS.

THE recent Presidential election cost the people OF
Il the United States a considerable OF money
IN a manner that escapes public attention.
For considerable time before the election, all the
members Of the Cabinet except one and many Of the
heads OF bureaus and employees out the
campaign Many others dividing their attention
between official duties and political interests.
It is said that after the election and during the
time when there uncertan ty as to the outcome
practically all public business was suspended in the
departments at Washington and in various govern
ment institutions throughout the country
This is probably the case to some extent in every
political campaign, but the waste of time and inter-
rupton OF public service was particularly marked
this year.

The Rumanians have invaded Bull garia. On the upper reaches of the Danube between the fortified towns of Rustchuk and Turtukai, where the river begin its bend northeastward, leaving Bulgarian territory and sepa- rating Rumania proper from Dubrudja the troops of Rumania have made their way to the southern bank of the stream.
 Just how many men were thrown across the river is not disclosed in either the Rumanian or German official communications, but the strategic value of the manoeuvre seemingly is two-fold.
 Ninety miles eestward from Turtaki, which lies at the western extremity of southern Dobrudja, is Verna, Bull garia's chief seaport on the Black Sea. If sufficient men have been sent across the river and are driven along the Dobrudja frontier toward Verna not alone would the seaport be in danger but the move would constitute a seri- ous menace toward the isolation of the German, Bulgarian and Turkish forces operating against the Rumanians to the north.
 Simultaneously with the announce ment of the crossing of the Danube comes a report from Bucharest that a fresh attack along the entire front in Dobrudja has resulted in the de- feat of the center and right Hanks of the troops of the central powers.
 In Pennsylvania the Rumanians on both sides of the Great Kukele River have advanced against the Teutonic allies, while westward in the vicinity Of Orzova and near Petrozeny, the Aus trian-HungraianS have captured posi- tions from the Rumanians.
 The fighting in Galicia, with Lem

berg the stake, has resulted in suc- cesses for the Teutonic allies north east of the Galician capital and for the Russians in the southeast. On the Brody -Zlochoff roads the Teutons recaptured the ground lost last Sat urday, according to both Berlin and Vienna and made prisoner 2,30 Rus sians, while in Narayuvka and Zlota Lipa sectors the Russians repulsed vii cious attacks, infiicting heavy casual ties and capturing 1.600 men. In the Lutsk region of Volhynia northkest of Sviniusky a Russian attack was re- pulsed.
 On the front in France the Germans at EauCourt | Abbaye in fierce fighting regained a footing in some of the buildings of that town but west of Gueudecourt and east of Courcelette the British improved their positions. On the part of the line held by the French the men of General Foch made progress east of Bouchavesnes and re- pulsed an attack south of the Somme in the region of VermandoVillers. In- element weather again has impeded the the operations in the Somne region.
 Little additional news of the fighting on the Macedonian front has come to hand. The troops of both sides along the front apparently are continuing their attacks and tef-attaeks with no notable successes for either. Aside from bombardments, which are especially severe on the Carso plateau, little fighting is taking place on the Austro- Italian front. One person was killed and one injured, and light ma teriaI damage resulted from the Zep- pelin raid over East England Sunday night. The entire crew of the Zep- pelin which was brought down in flames near London perished.

General Strike is
 a Flat Failure
NEW YORK POLICE SAY ONLY 4os MEN RESPONDED TO CALL
NO COLLAPSE ADMITTED
More Than 100000 Members of the United Hebrew Trades Returned to Work After Their Three Day HoIi- day.

New York, Oct. 2. = Tacit ad- mission of the failure of the general sympathetic strike in New York in be- half of the striking street car men was made in a report late today to a conference of labor leaders, which discussed the general situation.
 Assessment Recommended.
 The leaders recommended that every union member in the city be assessed vated and surface car employees who are on strike in Manhattan, the Bronx and parts of Westchester county.
 Do Not Admit Collapse.
 No decision as to further efforts to cali out all unionists in sympathy with the strikers was taken and there was no formal admission that the strike plan had collapsed.
 In it's report to the meeting the gen. eral strike committee said:
 Report of General Committee.
 'The committee still believes in the sincerity of the assurance given by representatives of important unions. Ii is our opinion that the rank and file of labor is in full sympathy with the street car men in their fight to main- tain their rights under the agreement of August and 7. underWritten by the mayor and the chairman of the public service commission, which, if lived ur to by the traction companies of New York, would have prevented the strike and general industrial unrest.
 "Organized labor did want to helI the street car men provided @ definite plan had been decided and agreed up- on.''
 The report declares the introduction of individual contracts by the Inter- borough Rapid Transit company was an attack upon trade unionism.
 Canvass Made By Police.
 Police headquarters announced that a canvass made by policemen showed that only 408 men had responded to the call for a general strike.
 More than 100, 900 members of the United Hebrew Trades returned tC work after their three-cay holiday, as did 3100 brewery workers.

UMBRELLA MENDER KILLED
 IN HIGHWAY NEAR MERIDEN
Was Struck by an AutomobiIe-Mo- torists Continued Without Stopping.

Meriden, Conn. Oct. 2.-An unknown umbrella mender, apparently about 55 years old, was struck and killed by an automobile about two miles from here on the Berlin road between 10 and 1O.30 o'clock tonight and the motor ists continued without stopping. So far the police have no knowledge of who was responsible for the accident.
 The body was discovered lying be- side the road in a pool of blood at 1030 o'clock by Attorney Canfeld of Hartford, who was passing the spot in his car. He immediately telephoned to the Meriden police, who in turn mo- tified the medical examiner. Besides other severe bruises, the man had suffered a fractured skull.
 Charles Carey, a farmer who lives near the scene of the accident, de- clared that he had heard a machine stop there a few minutes before At torney Garfield made the discovery and then drive on toward Hartford. It is thought that this car may have been the one which struck the man.

BRIDGEPORT WILL BE
 SHORT OF MILK TODAY
Will Have About 10000 Quarts Less
 Than the Usual Supply.

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Oct 2-It is ex- pected that this city will be about ten thousand quarts of milk short from the regular supply tomorrow morning as a result of the controversy between the Dairymen's League and the dis tributors. The regular daily quantity used here is about 60.000 quarts.
 One big dealer said tonight that his company would have almost no milk in the morning as all that supply comes from New York state and northwestern Connecticut. where the league is in control. Another big dis tributor announced that he had agreed today to the leagues terms and would have his full quantity regularly.
 An advance in price of a cent quart or more has been announced to begin Dec. 1. The present price is nine cents a quart. All dealers will raise it. most of them to ten cents cents and some to twelve cents
 The dealers will try to supply fam flies first during the continuation of the shortage and cut down the sup plies for restaurants, ice cream par lors and saloons first. It is believed, however, that fully 5000 persons viii have to get along with reduced milk at their tables for the rest of the week at least.

$6o,ooo, 900 LOAN FOR RAILROAD
 COMMUNICATION IN CHINA
Details Disclosed in Detail by Counsel
 for the American Interests.

Washington, Oct. "Details of the proposed new American $60,000, 900 loan for railroad communication in China, twice the size of any previous similar loan and arranged with a view to increasing the republics total rail- road mileage by fifty per cent, were disclosed in detail here today by Da- vid s. Rose. counsel for the American interests, after the publication of des- patches from Picking indicating con- clusion of the agreement. MT. Rose was present during most of the nego- tiations and drew up the contract which now has been signed. Under the agreement. Mir. Rose said, the Siems-Carey company of St. Paul, Minn., contracts to construct as soon as possible with money furnished by the American international corpora tion 1500 miles of railroad through the richest sections of China and obtains an optional contract to build another 1,500 miles later. China at present has but 6.009 miles in the whole en- pire.
 Estimating the cost per mile at S40.o0O completely equipped, the Siems-Carey contract calls for an ex- penditure of $6C.O00.O0O with the pos sibility of doubling that amount if the option is taken up. The largest previ- ous railroad line in China's history was the Hukuang loan of 1911, by German, British, French and Ameri- can bankers. totalling amout s30,00O,- O00.
 The loan is to be secured by the property in the road itself and not by concessions or government guarantees.
 Surprise over the announcement of such a tremendous project was ex- pressed here. for the recent failure of a $3O, 100000 loan to the Chinese gov- ernment because American financiers could get better terms abroad seemed to show apathy among bankers here toward development in China. More over. ever since President Wilson's an- nouncement at the beginning of his administration that the terms of the so-calIed six power loan jeopard1zed the integrity of China. causing the American group to retire. Chinese in- fiuences have sought in vain to float a loan in the United States.
