High Cost of Wrapping
Paper Causes Big Stores to
Adopt Economy Measures

New York, Dec. 2.-The high cost
of wrapping paper has caused depart
ment and other retail stores to insti-
tute many novel methods of economy.
The various grades of heavy paper
used for wrapping, as we'll as of tissue
paper used for inside wrapping, have
advanced in price, it is stated. between
800 and 400 per cent. in the last
eighteen months.
Some of the larger stores have sub
stituted lightweight paper for heavy,
are using a cheaper grade of tissue
and have abandoned entirely the wrap
ping up of pasteboard boxes. This
change alone. it was said. has saved
many tons of paper. Group action is
being discussed to effect further econo-
mics and at the same time avoid ap-
pearing cheap" in the eyes of Gus

TWO FLANkING
MOVEMENTS ON
RUMANIAN FRONT
One by Russians to Save King
Ferdinand's Armies and
Capital
TEUTONS MAKE OTHER
Try to Force Evacuation of
Bucharest and Cut Off
Defenders

Indications point to the probability
that two flanking operations on
large scale are in progress on the Ru-
manian front The one apparently
is intended by the Russians to save
King Ferdinand's armies and possibly
his capital, and the other by the Teu-
Bucharest and cut off the troops de-
Tending 1t.
Having assembled what seems to
be huge force along the range of the
lower Carpathians, the Russians are
pressing a great offensive on front
approximately $50 miles running along
the western frontier of the Rumanian
province of Moldavia and extending
northwest along the Bukowina bor-
der. Already they are declared to
have scored such successes as to lead
to expectations that the supply lines of
General Won Falkenhayn's armies in
Vading Rumania from the north may
shortly be seriously menaced.
The threat to the Rumanians comes
from Field Marshall Won Mackensen
on the southeast Controlling virtual
far as Tchernavoda, as they do, the
Teutonic allies, it has been pointed
out, seemed likely to attempt throw
ing forces across it at points further
and further east, to outf1ank each line
taken up by the Rumanians as they
retired under the pressure of Won Fal-
kenhayn's forces from the north and
west, and such of Won Mackensen's s
troops as were already on the north
bank of the river
Try to Hem I'm Rumanians
Entente commentators point out
that such move may now have been
effected, taking the mention by Petro-
grad that hostile patrols have appear
ed near Lake Griaka as indicated that
a new crossing has been made by Won
Mackensen near Oltenitsa, southeast
of Bucharest, except to the northeast
and If carried far enough would alto
gether cut off their retreat.
The crisis in Greece seems to have
passed for the present with the an
nouncement from Athens that King
Constantine has agreed to give up the
artillery demanded by the entente and
that the allied forces which were land

having been arranged Before this
