LONDON. Dec. 2.-liopes OF the
ital by making stand on the line Of
Argechu are now dwildling rapidly.
The German plan is apparently to en-
vclupe the Roumanians OH both fFlnks
and endeavor to cut of the first and
second Roumania1 armies. Accord
ing to the news OF the last two days
this plan Is being swiftly carried out.
BY the capture of Campulune the
Germans gained a new line Of supply
and communications through Ter2
burg pass. which greatly facilitates
their operations Ii the meantime
Field Marshal Won Mackenson con
tlnuas to throw forces across the
Danube at different points, The com
muniarS that enemy patrols have ap-
peared in tle region OF Lake GrialSp
indicates Mackensen has effeoted q
new crossing somewhere in the neigh
borhood OF 0ltenitZa. -
Unless strong Russian reinforce
ments arrive In time 70 throw Mack
ensen's forces back acosr the Danube
it is believed that the Roumaniana
will find it too dangerous to try and
save Bucharest by making stand on
the Argechu river.
Regarding the fate Of the fortresses
in Belgium and other strong forts
little confidence is felt here in the
ability of Brialmonts Notifications
around Bucharest to withstand the
attack of German heavy ordnance.
According to the estimate formed by
military Observers some days age the
central powers have some fifteen
divisions in Western Roumania, to
which must be added whatever forces.
Mackensen has been able to throw
across the Danube, Roumania has
about twenty divisions with which to
confront the invaders
According to a Berlin dispatch to
the Nieuve Rotterdamsche Courant
the Teutonic forces nave now reached

forts Of the girdle around Bucharest
are within range OF the German heavy

believed the Roumanans will attempt
to defend the city. There is no con
firmaticn from any other source Of
the German rumor that Russian
troops have reached Bucharest.
The greatest reliance is now placed
here on the Russian counter move in
the Kirlibaba region. In this theatre
the Russians are making a great att
tack on front of 400 wilometers,
stretching along the whole Carpathi-
an fine and the northern part of East
ern Pennsylvania
It is believed here than both Rou-
mania and Russia may have been
hampered by the question Of munition
slpply as well as by the difficulties
in railway transit and the long dis
.apccs Dcccssary 20 cove to briI;z up
reinforcements. In regard to muni-
tions Russia is now in better shape as
the new railway just opened from
Kola Bay to Lake Omega gives access
to a full free port thus giving CON
stant communication with England
and America by sea.

when range wars were a regular or
der of things every summer down in
the southeastern portion of the state
and it seemed that the open season
on sheepmen extended throughout the
year. Forest reserves have solved
the problem down there, and 1t may
be that we will yet have to ask the
federal government TO take charge
of all the public domain in this west
ern country in order to settle the
differences between the cattlemen
and the sheepmen. At any rate it
is certain that state legislation &C

factions will not be satisfactory to
