Whiwind Advance in Runania Causes Feeling Of Deep

Immense Stores Of Badly Needed Grain at CraiOva--A

London Nov. 22.-=-London made no attempt today to
disguise its feeling of the gravity of the German whr
wind advance into western Rumania indicated in the fall
of Craiova.
Military experts and economists were greatly con-
cerned to know whether the Rumanans had sufficient

to be there.
Germany desperately needs such wheat and hope is
expressed here that fagmentary advces indicating that
the Craova granares had been emped long before the
German occupation will be confirmed
AS yet word has been received direct from Buch-

planning what effect this capture will have on the Ru-
manian campaign in Wallacha.
The London press made disguise today of the men
ace in the amazingly swift progress by which Gen
eral Won Falkenhayns army swept into Rumanla and
took the Wallachan city temporary and total collapse
of the entire Rumanan defensive was feared What Lon

to enveop can escape the jaws Of the German wise and
successfully evade crushing from the north and south

Pursuing Bulgars.

Paris, Nov. 22.-Hot pursuit Of the
retreating Bulgarian German army
forced out of Monastir still is being
made by the allied forces.
The Serbians in particular, heartened
by the occupation of their ancient city
of Monastir, are pressing on irresistibly
to the north, forcing back the Teu-
tonic line toward Prilep. An enormous
store of supplies, and military impedi-
ments abandoned by the Teutons in the
flight has been captured. No estimate
of its value is yet obtainable, but frag-
meutary advices say it included big
store of food. railway rolling stock and
engineering materials. All will be OF

Men Are Dying Uselessly
By Hundreds of Thousands

entry Of the Serbian king TO his own
country.
The cost has been undoubtedly huge
one. There has been no heavier loss of
life, aside from that in the Nerdun con
test, than the loss of men about Mon
astir. II cost the Bulgars thousands OF
men to reach Monastir. They have held
IL u year, without finding it Of any
strategic value; they lost il again, with
considerable loss and the Serbian losses
in regaining II must have been heavier.
Monastir proves that the losses in the
great war are becoming more and more
futile and useless as the war goes on
The lines do not break; they only sway
but in the useless swaying, thousands OF
mon die like germs.
The Serbians feel repaid, undoubted
" for their sacrifices in regainine
Monastir. But the neutral world, where
sanity remains, ought to begin to see, in
the Monastir incident, the fact that has
long been apparent Men are dying
uslessly by the hundreds Of thousands
The war has at least reached that pitt
full stage.

Rescued Sailors
Complain Of Treatment

Vancouver, b. c., Nov. Members
of the crew of the steamer Romano,
wrecked early Sunday morning near
Wrangell, who arrived here this morn
ing, complained bitterly of their treat
men aboard the Alaska Steamship com
pany's freighter Admiral Evans, the
vessel that picked them up and declare
that the cause of the stranding OF the
Romano was the light being out on
Key reef.
Wet, cold and miserable the crew
were given accommodation in the hold
OF the Admiral Evans and no provision
was made for attending to their necessi'
ties the men assert. Had it not been
for the kindness of the deckhands of
the rescuing steamer their snfferin2s
would have been much more intense
the men declare.
The captain of the Romano, missing
the light on Key reef, had just stopped
his vessel when she struck.

MURDER MYSTERY
Henry Johnson Missing and
His Room Blood
Bespattered

Portland, Or, Nov. 22.-What may
prove to be battling murder mystery
came to light today, after having been
kept secret by the police since Sunday.
Henry Johnson, clerk, is missing.
Entering his hotel room, police found
the walls spattered with blood, the bed
mattress streaked with crimson stains,
bloody rags scattered about, furniture
upset and half empty bottle of alco-
hol on the floor.
Waino Jakela, johnson s. room mate,
was packing his grip when the detect
ives arrived. He declared Johnson had
been attacked by two strangers, terri
bly, beaten and taken away by them.
Jakela was held three days for interro-
CATION and then released.
A thorough search for johnson is
still in progress, but no traces of him
has been found. Jakela was unable to
furnish an accurate description of the
assailants.
1t is feared johnson may have been
taken to some desolate spot in an auto
mobile and left there to die alone.
