Pacific coast hockey magnates are
going to try new wrinkle this sea-
son that is certain to excite lot Of
interest not only with the players
but fandom. The plan announced by
President Frank Patrick is to award
a championship emblem to the player
who proves the. most valuable man
III the league during the coming cam
paign. It will be run along lines
similar to those which governed the
major baseball league individual race
few years ago, when chug chug
wagons were allocated to the most
valuable men in the National and
American leagues. Every hockey
player in the Coast league will have
a chance for the prize, which will
be a valuable one and which is be-
ing offered by the Coast body.
With so many stars in the Coast
league clubs it Is expected that there
will be keen competition for the prize.
Every team boasts one or more stars.
Vancouver had a sure starter and
contender in "Cyclone" Taylor; Port
land has big star and general IA
vorite in Moose" Johnson; Seattle's
big noise is Jack Walker, and Lester
Patrick is Spokane's best bet. All In
all the competition is expected to Gre
ate a lot of interest in the Coast cam
paign.

RUMANIANS' GREAT LOSSES

London, Nov. 25.-Forces of the
central powers are driving on Blu
charest from three directions. To
the west the troops of General Won
Falkenhayn have reached the Alt
river; to the north the Germans and
Austro-H ungarians are pressing south
ward, and somewhere along the Dan
ube the forces of Field Marshal Won
Mackensen are crossing the river.
Western Wallachia apparently is
in the hands of the Teutonic allies.
Some Rumanians remain in the rear
around Orsova, but that town, as
we'll as Turnu-Severin, has been. oc-
cupied by the Teutonic troops.
Later Report.
London, Nov. 26.-The situation of
Rumania, whose troops are being
pressed backward from the west and
south by a concerted advance of
8eutonic and Bulgarian forces, con-
tinues to be the center of most in.
tense interest. The latest phase of
the advance of the Teutonic allies,
the pressure upon Rumania by cross
ing the Danube river, is dealt with
in announcements by the German,
Rpmanian and Russian war offices.
The forces of Field Marshal Won Mack
ensen have crossed the Danube from
the south, and have gained a foot
ing on Rumanian soil.
Arrest German Advance.
Bulgarian troops have occupied
islands in the Danube, near the
mouth Of the Alt river, near Orsova
and at two other points.
From Bucharest, however, comes
the announcement that the advance
of the German troops across the Dan.
ube has been arrested north of those
places.
The Rumanian troops operating on
the extreme left of their line in Wal
lachia have extricated themselves az
ter destroying huge quantity of
cereals, according to Petrograd re-
port.
1t is admitted by the Rumanians
that their troops have retired on the
left bank Of the Alt river after re-
pulsing several attacks along the
whole front Of that sector. 1t is
asserted at Berlin that the resist
ance of the Rumanians in the low
lands of the lower Alt has been
broken, and that several towns In
Rumania south of the Alt pass have
been captured by the invaders.
Bucharest May Fall Soon.
| London, Nov. 27.-With the ar
mics of the Teutonic allies advancing
toward it from the west and the
southwest, Bucharest, the capital Of
Rumania, is in peril.
| Field Marshal Won Mackensen's sol
diers have crossed the Danube tt
Zimnitza and are in touch near Alex
andria with the forces Of Gen. vor
Falkenhayn.
German reports say that the roads
leading eastward from the Alt river
are encountered with fleeing Ruma
man supply columns and marked by
burning villages.

In the South today there Is no feel.
ing but one of qualification that the
country is united. The bitterness OF
defeat has passed away and all South.
erners are good citizens Of the United
States. Honors are paid by each side
to the military leaders of the other.

of the Civil war wearing both uniforms

Would Define international Law.

New York.-An appeal to the bar OF
the United States, a great neutral ma
ton, to aid in defining international
law and right in such terms that world
peace might be maintained, was made
by Sir Robert Laird Borden, premier
of Canada, in an address at luncheon
given in his honor at the Lawyers club
here Saturday.
The peace which the entente allies
seek, Sir Robert added, departing from
his prepared speech, is an abiding one
and not an inconclusive one. The club
