his movement seems to confirm the
impression that his latest withdrawal
into Dobrudja was voluntary in order
to assemble forces for the Danube
crossing.
Should Rumania be forced to de-
fend the line running north and south
from the mountains between Red
Tower and Toelzbnrg passes to the
Danube, in order to protect Bucharest,
military critics here consider that her
position would be extremely critical.
It is hoped. however, that Russia has
been able to send sufficient reinforce
ments to relieve Rumania and that
she will have sufficiently strong
forces to carry on an effective fight
in the Wallachian plain.

STOPS FLOODING
CITY WITH Men
FROM DISTRICTS

Flooding of Richmond with men
recruited from the slums of two large
cities, Chicago and Cleveland, by an
employment agent working for the
contractor in charge of the Pennsyl-
vania yard extension work here, has
been stopped, police headquarters
was informed today and Chief of Po-
lice Goodwin heaved sigh of relief.
The police were informed that the
employment agency received a dollar
for each laborer he secured to work
here and for some time undesirables
have been coming into Richmond by
the carload lot.
Over a score of them are now in
mates of the county Jail. The big
majority of the men received here
when they discovered they would be
expected to do real work fatty re-
fused to accept employment, others
would work a few days and quit,
spending all the money they earned
for booze.
Fears Reign Of Crime
II am mighty glad that the railroad
company has quit recruiting it's labor
ers from the slums of the larger cities.
Some of the toughest thugs in Chi
cago and Cleveland were being sent
here and l was anticipating reign Of
crime this winter such as never be-
fore witnessed in Richmond" Chief
Goodwin said today.
Among the railroad laborers most
recently arrested was an expert
suitcase snatcher," Charles McCor-
ran, alias Johnny JONES'" hailing
from Cleveland. Today McCorran
confessed to having stolen three suit
cases, each one filled with clothing,
in different parts of the city and the
police believe he secured other suit
cases. He pleaded guilty 10 taking a
suitcase owned by M. L. Oman, a
travelling man, from the traction sta
ton. He was fined $100 and costs
and sentenced TO serve six months at
the penal farm.

ments entailing an expense on the

Inasmuch as the city only has avail
able an appropriation Of $4,000 next
year from which to meet the city s
share of costs of public improvements
the entire program advocated by the
engineer cannot be approved.
Seven of the proposed improve
ments were accepted by the board and
