Operations in Macedonia Are Somewhat Bec1Ouded
Russians HaDe Begun Another At- rack Against AuStro-Germans
 in the Carpdthions. .L.s,

The operations of the Teutonic al. lies in Rumania have brought them ap- preciably nearer Bucharest and are still progressing from the north and the west and the south and the south west.
 The northern bank of the Danube in Rumania extending westward from Giurgiu on the railroad south of Buc- harest, to opposite Vidin, short dis tance from the Serbian border. now is in the hands of the forces of the central powers. The capture of points in this region opposite Vidin, Lom- palanka and Rohoyo by the Bulgar- ians would seem to menace seriously the Rumanian troops from the Ors0va and Turnu-Seyerein sectors who were reported several days ago to be in retreat to the southeast
 The occupation of Giurgiu brings the line of Field Marshal von Mackensen to within thirty-seven miles of Buc- harest on the south, while the capture of Curtea de Arges, eighty miles west of the capital evidently has cleared the Topolog sector of Rumanians and given the invaders the railroad to the important town of Pitesck, the june tion of the line running from Campu- lung to Bucharest.

 An explanation as to why the con sumer does not get food cheaper when there is plenty of it, was given by Commissioner Dillon;
 When there is surplus of pro ducts here he said, the price to the producer is low. The crying sin is that the price very seldom gets lower to the consumer. Not only is there no attempt to increase the consumption but there is a deliberate attempt made not to do 1t.
 'I have seen caulillower, cabbage and berries sold in the wholesale market for less than would pay the cost of freight In the retail markets however, the prices were the same as when there was a scarcity. This is so general as to amount to a custom
