Roumanians Play
Into German Hands;
Invite Destruction

Piteshti, Roumania. Saturday, Dec
, Via Berlin and Wireless to The
Associated Press Via Sayville, Dec. ~
In another desperate attempt to
ward off the attack on Bucharest. the
Roumanians yesterday executed an
other seemingly impossible strategic
move. Their army. which had been
facing troops advancing upon Bucha-
rest from the southwest and west, was
suddenly turned squarely toward the
Danube army" in the south, thus ex-
posing themselves to a disastrous
flank attack
The Roumanlan army which had
been retreating from the northwest
suddenly stopped and began an attack
in a direction nearly northward, thus
exposing itself to all attack in the rear
by German troops marching due east
ward
The result was that another Rou-
manian army, numbering about four
divisions, was left in kind of Guide
sac almost due west of Bucharest, be-
tween two German forces and threat
ened from behind by a third. The
mancuvcr was surprise to the Ger
mans because it apparently rendered
the positions of all three Roumanan
armies utterly untenable for any
length of time and laid them all open
to destruction.

To LEGISLATE MILLER DIS
T|LLERY OUT OF BUSINESS
Such Measure Has Been Introduced
At Annapolis.

STATE HOUSE, ANNAPOLIS, JAN. 25.-
A number of bills for Garrett county
will be introduced by the members and
Senator from that county.
Senator Speicher has already in
troduced bill to prohibit the giving or
selling of liquors to minors in Garrett
county, and to prevent the shipment of
intoXicants into the county which is dry.
He has also introduced bill repeating
the dog tax law in Garrett, another
bill he will introduce probably this
week. is one to incorporate the town of
Accident.
Capt. Hayden, of the Garrett Delega-
ton, introduced Monday night, the bill
which appropriates $4,000 a year for
two years to the School Commissioners
of Garrett county for public school
purposes. This bill is introduced at
every session of the Legislature and is
done to equalize the appropriations for
schools which discrimates against Gar
rett county owing to the small colored
population there. No difficulty will be
experienced in passing the bill.
Delegate Shartzer's bill repeating the
law eXempting taxation on personal
property. household furniture, etc, to
the amount of $500 and under, has been
introduced. 1t provides that the
County Commissioners of Garrett
County shall assess all such personal
property of 500 and over. This makes
it mandatory, instead of optional. upon
the County Commissioners to make
this assessment, but it is optional with
municipalities. whether to asses house
hold goods of $500 or less, or not. as
they choose, and when unnecessary
they need not so assess, and when they
need the money they can assess. This
bill was referred by Speaker Laird to
the Committee on Ways and Means, ex-
planning, when Mr.. Shartzer asked that
it be referred to the Garrett Delegation,
that it is necessary for the Ways and
Means Committee to examine it and de-
termine whether or not the States rev.
enues will be affected. If the bill
makes no provision for the assessment
of the property for State taxes, it is
probable it will be amended by the
committee; if il does provide for State
taxation, then the probability is that
the Ways and Means Committee will
recommend that the bill be referred TO
the Garrett Delegation in the House.
The fact is, that no provision is made
in the bill for assessing personal prop
erty for State purposes.
TO INCREASE TERM OF COUNTY COM
MISSIONER CLERK.
Chairman Fox, of the.Garrett Delega-
ton, introduced Monday night bill to
increase the term of the Clerk to the
Board OF County Commissioners for
Garrett county from two to four years.
At present the term Of the Clerk to the
Commissioners is two years, and it is
claimed that it is too short term for
so important an Office Besides, all the
other counties Of the State, without eX-
ception, so far as known. elect their
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1916-01-27

Clerk to the County Commissioners for
four years. The salary Is left the same,
$500 year.
FISH AND GAME BILL.
The Garrett Delegation are in receipt
of petition signed by nearly 250 resi-
dents and citizens. asking that bill be
passed making the open season for
game to begin not later than October
first, and to permit the hunting of rab-
bits when snow is on the ground. "
Under the present law sit is not unlaw
full to kill game except in the month of
November" and hunting rabbits when
snow is on the ground is forbidden. The
petition also asks that the bill include
protection for Mountain Brook Trout,
and that days catch be limited to fifty
of the ''speckled beauties.
Whether or not to introduce a new
game and fish law for Garrett county,
or to accept the proposed new State
wide bill has not yet been determined
by the Garrett Delegation. As soon as
the State Game Warden has the new
Statewide bill ready for examination it
will be gone over carefully, and such
changds asked for as may be deemed
necessary to meet the wishes of the
sportsmen in Garrett county. 1t is the
concensus of opinion among many legis-
lators that a uniform law for all the
counties will bring better results than
for each county to have laws and regula-
tons to suit Its own purposes and differ
ing in many essentials from those in the
other counties. The matter will re-
ceive careful consideration, at any rate.
TO PROHIBIT MANUFACTURE OF INToXI-
CANTS.
At Yesterdays session Delegate
Shartzer introduced a bill to prohibit
the manufacture for sale, of any spiri-
tuous liquor or intoxicants of any kind,
and the bill was referred to the Com
mittee on Temperance. If the bill
passes. it will require the closing down
aid removal of the "Melkv Miller"
Distillery, which is situated in Garrett
county, where it has been running for
years.
Chairman Fox, of the Garrett Dele
cation, will probably introduce today or
tomorrow, bill authorizing $50, 600 and
the creation of commission to build
protecting wall at Kitzmiller, Garrett
ounty, against floods and high water.
This bill was introduced two years ago
but did not get through the House. as
it was late in the session and fell by the
wayside along with hundreds of other
local and general bills.
STATEWIDE PROHIBITION BILL NEXT
WEEK.
Next week the Statewide Prohibition
Bill will be brought to the front, hear
ing of the "Drys" before joint meet
ing of the Senate and House Temp
erance Committees on Thursday after
noon, February 8. The hearing will
take place in the chamber of the House
of Delegates at o'clock in the after

take place as soon as adjournment &C.
cures, and the hearing will be public,
the Senators and members of the House
