BRIEF SUMMARY OF
WAR SITUATION ON
ALL ACTIVE FRONTS

Desperately the Rumanians,
probably aided by Russian troops,
are defending the southern and
western approaches to Bucharest,
while the Teutonic advance con-
tinues to press more closely on the
Rumanian capital from the north
west. UnofficiaIIy, it is reported
In London that Russian troops
have arrived In Bucharest to mid
the hard-pressed Rumanian forces.
Progress for the advancing Ger
man and AustrO- Hungarian armies
In Wallachia and south of Bucha-
rest IL reported by Berlin. which
says the Rumanians continue to
offer resistance. The Rumanians
apparently are ON near the line
of the ArSeshu. as PetrOgrnd says
the invaders have occupied two
towns south of Bucharest and near
that river. Field Marshal Won
Mackensen, Berlin records, has
thrown an army across the NiasiOv
1owlands. which would be npproch-
Ing the Argeshu I'm the direction of
Bucharest.
Advancing southwark from the Cam
pulung-Piteshti region, the Teuton in
vaders have taken prisoners and cannon
and much other equipment from the re
firing Rumanians. In the fighting re-
ported in the latest communicates. Berlin
says the Rumanians lost more than 2sO
prisoners and q cannon.
RUSSIANS AGGRESSIVE
The Russians continue aggressivey
man lines from the Carpathians to south
ern Pennsylvania. Berlin states the Rus
sian attacks, which are declared to hav,
been along a front of 1866 miles from
Jablonitza to Kedzi Vasarhely, resulted
only in small advantages, which are de
clared not to be commensurate with tn,
cost in men and ammunition. Petrograd
admits a repulse southwest of Vakarka
but records the capture of a ridge OF
heights south of Kirlibaba.
The fighting in Dobrudja has become
more intense. Bucharest announces a
violent attack along the whole front II
that region. Berlin declares that the at
tack against the Bulgarian left wing ir
Dobrudja failed and that British tanks
are being used by the attackers.
FIGHTING IN GALICIA
Tn Galicia there also has been re-
awakening of activity. Petrograd records
that an Austro-G German attempt to taxi
the offensive north of the Tarnopol
ZlOCZnu
In Macedonia, in France and on thu
Austro-Italian front there has been ne
important change in the situation. The
artillery activity on the Somme front II
northern France and in the Trentino anc
Carso regions of the Italian theatre, il
reported to be increasing. Both Berlin
and Paris claim the repulse of attack.
northwest of Monastir, in Servia.
GREEK SITUATION
Admiral Du Fournet, the commando
Of the entente fleet in the Mediterranean
is reported to have landed troops a
Piraeus. the port Of Athens. French
British and Italian contingents are sale
to have been included in the LANDING
party. Aside from a report that Greel
troops are being sent toward Athens from
the north of Greece. there are no indica
lions as to what measures the Greel
government has taken to comply with o.
oppose Admiral Du Fournets demands
for the turning over Of Greece's arm
and ammunition.

Counsel for the state, led in person
by Attorney General Logan Martin,
fought every move of the defense and
won the contention early in the day
against the arrest in Judgment. OBJ
lection to the arrest in Judgment was
Lased on the states claim that 1t
came too late, that it should have
been offered before notice of appeal
was given. Counsel Charles Grimmett
of the defense was placed on the wit
ness stand to explain why the motion
was not made before notice of appeal
was given, and explained that he OBJ
jeeted to the court pronouncing judg-
ment and said there was an under
standing between the court and At
tcrney Allen, who had left the city be-
fore the verdict was rendered.
QUESTION OF AGREEMENT
Judge Miller interrupted to say that
when Mr.. Allen left the city he wanted
the sentence suspended in case OF a hang
ing verdict and the same course followed
in case of penitentiary sentence. Judge
Miller took issue with Grimmett when
he said he wanted to file motions and
it was shown that no unusual agreement
of any kind had been made but it APP
peared at the same time that the quick
rendering of the verdict was a surprise
to both sides. 1t was shown that Solicit
tor Fritz Thompson left the city on the
same train with Attorney Allen.
MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL
Attorney Allen, after Attorney General
Martins objection had been overruled,
offered his motion for a new trial based
on several reasons. among them being
the following:
That the verdict was not rendered ac-
cording to the evidence; that relatives
OF the deceased sat near the jury box
and commented upon the evidence; that
three fire alarms and accompanying pis-
toll shots terrorized the jury; that the
jury had been prejudiced against the
defendant by the high state of public
feeling; that the defendants life had been
threatened in the event of acquittal: that
the solicitor had no right to ask the de-

his life; that state counsel abused ths

CONTRAST IN COSTUMES

The mourning costumes of the many
women and neutral officials contrasted
sharply with the splendor of the uni
forms which most of the high mourn
ers wore. including the new Emperor
and other rulers.
No flowers were used, everything
connected with the services being of
severest plainness and simplicity. The
body was conveyed to ST. Stephen s
cathedral over a long route through
the city. enormous crowds lining the
streets as it passed.
Emperor Charles and the other high
mourners awaited the coffin seated
around the catafalque. They arose as
rounded by eight pages. bearing burn
ing tapers, and shortly afterward Car
dinal Piffi began the brief service which
was terminated by the Kyrie Fleison.
SERVICES WERE SIMPLE
The absence of any organ accom-
paniment gave added simplicity to the
services.
After the cardinal had sprinkled the
coffin it was replaced in the hearse
by the pallbearers and taken to the
Capuchin crypt, where it will re-
main. The mourners followed the
hearse on cot to the crypt, where
another short service terminated the
ceremony. Throughout the obsequies
the young crown prince, who is 4
years old. stood close behind his faith
er dressed in ermine. Close to him were
the two sons and daughters of the
late archduke and heir apparent, Fran
els Ferdinand, by his morganatic mar
riage.

Excessive wear to the tread OF a
tire is usually attributed to fault in
alignment of wheels and the real
cause is not. therefore, always discov-
cred even when the car has been in
spected by mechanic.
Investigate the alignment Of wheels
by proceeding as follows:
stand the car in line as near as
possible BY having the same distance
between hubs Of front and rear
wheels, on both sides of car. Measure
front wheels directly In front Of axle
BY drawing steel tape measure from
the inside OF felloe on one wheel to
the inside of fellos on opposite wheel.
After noting the exact measurement,
move the wheels onethird or one
fourth turn, and repeat the operation.
The same method Of measuring rear
wheels viii answer the purpose, ex-
cept that the measurements can be
more conveniently taken directly
back Of the axle. II three or four
measurements do not show varia-
ton OF more than L-inch. the wheels
are in good alignment A difference
OF x-inch Is allowable by car manu-
facturers. but, as q general thing, the
wheels are seldom this far out 'of line.
unless damaged.
There Is no specific general stand
ard for the Gambler or canting of
front wheels outward at the top, but
the practise Is TO do this on most OF
the cars. the purpose being to make 1t
easier TO steer and turn curves to bet
ter advantage than II the wheels were
perpendicular. as with the rear. This
Gambler of the front wheels of differ
ent cars varies from k-inch to rs
inches between inside felloe measure
ments. II the wheels stand too far
outward at the top, there is apt to be
some binding effect at the axles-un-

better to brake with the motor and

have become careless in shifting the
gears in their cars, that continued

der this condition the tires do not
roll freely, the strains to fabric are
not equally distributed and the rub

Is more exposed to rut wear.
Do not be confused, when taking
measurements, n itNs found that the
front wheels are from A-inch to h.
inch wider than rear wheels-this has
no real bearing on the alignment.
Excessive wear to a tire tread does
not necessarily indicate irregular
alignment of wheels. 1t may often
be traced to loose or worn hub disk,
q bent axle, steering rod or knuckle,
or connecting rod either too long or
too short. Other causes are loose
bearings and the tight adjustment of
one or both brake drums. If clamp
ing brackets of demountable rims are
not frightened evenly, the rims may
wabble and cause the wheels to travel
obliquely, L e., at an angle.
Worn bushings will permit enough
play in knuckles to allow FROM wheels
to wabble; this is also true with rear
wheels that have been removed. but
not properly adjusted when reapplied

hard to find in taking measurements
