 The latest phase of the advance of the Teutonic allies and the pressure upon Rumania by the crossing of the Danube river is dealt with in an- nouncements by the German and Ru- manian war offices.
 That portion of Field Marshal von Mackensen's forces winch crossed the Danube from the south, has gained strong footing on Rumanian soil.
 Bulgarian troops have captured an island in the Danube near the mouth of the Alt river, near Orsovo. From Bucharest, however, comes the announcement that the advance of the German troops across the Danube at Islacz and at Zimnitza has been ar rested north of those places. Rumanian troops, operating On the extreme left of their line in Walla- chia have eXtricated themselves afte: destroying huge quantities of cereals, according to Petrograd report.
 It is admitted by the Rumanians that their troops hava been retired on the left bank of the Alt river, after reDulsing several attacks along the whole front ill that sector. Rumanians Resistance Smashed. l It is asserted at Berlin that the re- sistance of the Rumanians in the low lands of the lower Alt river has been broken, and that several towns in Ru- mania, south of Alt pass, have been | captured by the invaders.

Thom Points Out Difficult bies Under Which Carriers
 Are Operating.
OT,NEY THINKS TIME
 FOR CHANGE HERE
Former Secretary of State Prepares Plan for Federal Incorporation Of Railroads-Bryan Will Be Heard
 by Congressional Committee.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Present-day railroad problems and plans worked out by carriers for their solution were presented today before the joint con- gressional Investigating committee by A, P. Thom, counsel for the railway executives advisory committee. Mr. Thom had addressed the committee for three days, outlining at length the troubles of the roads in quest of finances and providing adequate fla cilities for handling the nations busi- ness. He mentioned particularly tha difficulties of operating under the ex. isting system of simultaneous federal and state regulation, and asserted that the interests and aims of the roads were to do nothing nos in the public interest. Just before concluding he said the railroads would not discuss questions relating to labor problems at this time, but might do so later. He will be before the committee Mon- day for cross-eXamination by its mem bers.
 Olney Urges Federal Control.
 During the day, Mr. Thom told the committee the railroads are partieu;- arly interests in federal incorporation of interstate carriers, fedora! con- trol Of securities. issues and 'n changes in the interstate commerce. committee operations, and in terms of the act under which it regulates com merce. He read plan for federal ip corporation of railroads drawn up by Richard Olney in which the former encouragement said it was apparent the federal government has by ina3- tion acquiesced in the exercise c; state authority over matters "eXclu~ sively within the national jurisdic- tion. While the courts have held the states control valid as long as the national government approves it, MT. Olney pointed out that owing to the unsatisfactory condition of the car- riers it now is the duty of the federal government to use it's acknowledged power over the whole railroad situa- tion to the exclusion of the states. MT. Olney's brief contained plan for the federal incorporation of railroads, this providing for certain designated per- sons to acquire, hold and regulate tho franchises of properties until re- organization is effected

PREDICT VILLA VICTORY.
American Army Officers Think Tide
 of Battle Turning.

Fl Paso, Texas, Nov. 24.-High army officials here tonight declared their belief that indications were that the tide of battle at Chihuahua City was turning in favor Of Villa and his forces after they had been defeated and driven off repeatedly during the last two days. The fact that the tele- graph line is cut north of Chihuahua City was considered by army officers as significant. They say this indi- cates Villas forces are north of the capital and far removed from the artillery of the defending army.
 "The side having the largest sup ply of ammunition will win," said one army officer tonight.

 Few people appear to have heard the fire whistle, or to have paid any attention to it. And fewer felt enough
 interest to leave their homes to wit ness the blaze. By actual count, there were 14 automobiles, including the fire truck Simon Bloom, at the fire when it was at it's height. And not dozen women were in the crowd at any one time. All these facts serve to make the fire somewhat remark able, being so absolutely contrary tc the rule in Pine Bluff.
 Cause Mystery.
 The cause of the fire is a mystery and probably will remain so. The en tire building was ablaze when the department arrived, and half an houl later side walls were falling.
