MOLOivIA Line s
PENETRATED BY
INVADERS
Last Province OF R0umania Now
Scene of War
NOW FIGHTING NEAR vERDUN
Germans Took Small Section of
Trench and Few Prisoners But
Were Driven Out.

London, Dec. 30.-Pressing in on
southern ,Modayia from three sides,
apparently with all their vigor the
forces of the central powers are max
ing progress against stiff resistance.
On the Transylvanian-Mol
frontier, in the region north OF Rim
nik-Sarat and in the DobrudJa OPP
posite Braila, Berlin reports, the Aus
tro-German and Bulgarian troops are
advancing.
A new thrust seemingly has been
started by the Austro-Germans along
the Moldavian frontier. Several lines
of positions and 1400 prisoners were
taken by the invaders in the first day
of their offensive into Moldavia from
the west, which may have for its pur-
pose the cutting off of the retreat of
the Russo-Rumanian troops now oper-
ating along the southern Moldavian
border
Along the river Kasino and west of
Coyesha, Petrograd says, Rumanian
troops were driven back nearly a
mile. A desperate battle also is re-
ported as taking place near Sesmezo
near Ocna and within the Moldavian
boundry. North of Rimnik-Sarat all
attacks were repulsed according to
Petrograd.
Field Marshal Won Mackensen has
reached Dumitresti, about II miles
northwest of Rimnik-Sarat, and north
east of that town troops under his
comamnd have captured several vii
lages. The number of prisoners TAX
en- by this army totals1400, in addition
to cannon and machine guns.
The Rumanian province of Dobrud'
ia has now been almost cleared of de-
tenders, as Berlin says that Ratchelu.
northeast of the Matchin bridgehead
across the Danube from Braila, has
been conquered. Ratchelu is on the
Danube.
West of the Meuse, in the Verdun
region, the forces of the German
crown prince have repulsed attacks
by French troops against new German
positions on Dead Man hill, where sec
ond and thirdline trenches were en-
tered by the Germans and 220 prison
ers and seven machine guns were TAX
EN-. Paris admits slight success for
the Germans In this section. saying
that one trench south of Dead Man
hill was entered by the attackers.
Other efforts to advance between the
Meuse and Avocourt and in front of
both Dead Man hill and Hill 304 were
repulsed by the French.
Except for some engagements be-
tween patrols around Brody in Cali.
cia no activity is reported from the
eastern, Macedonian and Austro-
Italian fronts. British and French
troops have carried out successful
raids on the west front at various
points.

BENEFIT FOR SUFFERERS
"Jaffery" to be Shown at Opera House
Sunday for War Stricken People

A perturbation of w. J. Locke's
famous novel, "Jaffery." win be Civ
en- at the opera house Sunday, De-
cember 31st for the benefit of the
starving Jews and Albanians suffer
ing from the effects of the great war.
This picture, which is the first of the
Golden Eagle features OF the Inter
national film service inc, is a photo
play that appeals to red-blooded men,
to romance loving women and to
healthy children. Ada Patterson, in
the New York American, has this to
say OF it:
Thrilled, charmed, entertained as
| have not been for many moon of
plays, have just come from the New
York Theatre, where l saw 'Jaffery.
Il never missed word Of 'Jaffery.'
Cross my heart, didn't And | am
among those who sign deeply and
look ecstatic whenever the name of
w. j. Locke is read or spoken.
For ninety minutes 'Jaffery'
sweeps one along on the surge of its
emotional events. 1t holds an aud.
fence suspended by the thread of
sentiment 1t affords that escape
from self. that everyone seeks, and
everyone needs at times. You can no
more think of today's housekeeping,
or tomorrowis business than you
could plan a picnic during storm at
sea.
IF you are an appreciation of the
whimsy and delight in the Locke
stories, see Jaffery.' If you never
read Locke, but like breathless
rushing, nerve-eXhilarating motion
screen play, see 'Jaffery' In either
case, you will be a happy playgoer
For it is q good fortune to see 'Jaf
ferry"

CANADA MAKING MuNlTloN
Few Orders from Great Britain Com
inq to United States.

New York, Dec 29.-British muni-
tion orders amounting to hundreds of
millions of dollars are being placed
with Canadian manufacturers. accord
ing to information obtained in bank
ing quarters yesterday, while few
are coming to the United States. 1t
was learned that within the last few
days an order for shells larger than
the biggest contract placed in this
country last year had been lodged
with the Montreal Locomotive Com
pany, Ltd, the Canadian branch of
the American Locomotive Company.
AS il was believed that the Bethle-
hem Steel Corporation got she'll or
der last year amounting to $l5O,O00,-
600, an estimate on the Canadian or
der was between $175,O00,000 and 500,
00C, 900.
Steel manufacturers have known
for several months that few more or
ders for completed sheels would come
to the United States, but ii was not
a matter of general knowledge that
Canada was slated to take up vast
part Of the work. 1t had been sup
posed that the hundreds of munition
factories which have sprung up in
Great Britain. England. and Italy
would take over the task. News that
Canada had developed facilities to
handle a shell business which may
amount to fully $4OO.00O,0O0 next
year, if the war continues, was sur
prising to many persons of the tinan-
cial district, who recalled that last
year parts of number of Canadian
orders were sublet in this country.
Several important influences have
caused the allied munition buyers to
switch shellmaking to Canada. In the
first place, of course, there is a de-
sire to utilize the facilities of a
country having q direct part in the
war, whose plants and workmen will
profit from the business. Another
consideration is the sconomy to be ef-
fected in having the finished goods
turned out close TO the base OF sup
plies of raw material. Whether the
allied war material is made in Canada
or in Europe, great part OF the steel
rounds and brass plate used viii have
~ COillc AiVlu NHio NOhiNA 10 AAiN
completed shells can be shipped
across the Atlantic cheaper than
steel, copper, and zinc in the rough,
1t would be in keeping with the econ
omic plans of the fighting nations to
have munitions made up on this side
of the water.
Besides supplying much of the ma
terials to be used in the Canadian
shell factories, bankers expect that
the financing of the purchases will be
done in New York. The s75,000,000
loan floated here by the Dominion ear
ly this year was a pronounced sue
cess, and bankers feel that requests
for additional accommodation would
receive immediate attention in this
country The assumption of more of
the war expenses by the Canadian
Government would relieve the British
Treasury of a heavy load and make
stronger the credit of the home Gov
ernment in the markets of the world.
In banking circles it was said yes
terday that no overtures had been
made for a Canadian loan in any form
and further financing by the Entente
Powers is expected to hold over until
some time after Jan. /.
