BUCHAREST IS
NOT LEssENED
Situation Not Markedly
Less Critical Because of
Russ Success.
MACKENSEN'S ARMY
TEMPORARILY HELD
Fors4 Of convsrsins Attack Being
Pressed From Three Sides Is Undi-
minished, but Roumanian Power Of
Resistance Seems to Have Strength
ened-ssrbs Renew Successful Ad-
vance in Macedonia.

Field Marshal Won Mackensen's
drive against Bucharest is again in
full SWING. It's stoppage by the
Russo Roumanian offensive IN this
sector was evidently only tempo
rary, for Petrograd today an
nounced occupation of Gradichtea
by the Teutonic forces. Gradichtea
is on the Giulgiu Bucharest rail-
way line, directly south of Bu-
charest, and its capture places Won
Mackensen's advance within a
scant twelve miles of the capital.
On the northwest the Rouman-
ians are also falling back under
Won Falkenhayn's pressure. They
are reported on the retreat in the
Piteshti- Tergovistea sector, mark
ing a further closing in Of the in
mountain passes.
The force OF the cOnverging at
tack thus being pressed from the
three sides Of Bucharest does not
appear to have been lessened, but
the resisting powers of the. Rou-
manians forces seem to have
strengthened.
On their defensive strength de-
pends not only the safety Of the
capital but the safety of the Rou-
manian armies.
The Serbians have renewed their
successful advance in Macedonia,
capturing height north of Cru
nishte and driving the Bulgarians
in the direction Of Strayina. four
miles to the northwest, according
to the French war office statement

You can believe the testimony of your own townspeople. They tell it for the benefit of you who are suffering. If your backaches, if you feel lame, sore and miserable, if the kidneys act too frequently, or pas- sages are painful, scanty and off color, use Doan's Kidney Pills, the remedy that has helped so many of your friends and neighbors. Follow this Canaan citizens advice and give Doan's a chance to do the same for you.
 Mrs. Jacob Scamerhorn, West Main St., Canaan, says: "My kidneys were disordered and I suffered from back ache. Dizzy and nervous spells were common and I was subject to head aches. I was restless at night and got up ill the morning feeling all tired out. Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills highly advertised, got box at R. T. Farnum 6 O.. $ Drug Store, and began using them. They removed the trouble and made me feel better i'll every way.
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't sim ply ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Scamerhorn had. Foster-Mil. burn O., Props, Buffalo, N. Y.

The burning of two business houses On our Maln street which could have been easily prevented if there hnd beeu water supply, has again called attention quite forcibly to the crying need for water, resulting so far in much dis cussion and in the appointmeut hy the Fire Department of a publicity commit tee whose duty it shall be to agitate the question and keep it fresh before the minds of the people until some favorable action is taken. All feasible plans for getting water for fire protec- tion will be consid cred and brought to the attention of the people. Adjoining towns have had ample fire protection for years while we have practically no water supply, although boasting q chartered water company. One plan is to have this company make good or turn the matter over to the Fire District to make good. An adequate water supply would place us on the map as a live town, increase the sale of real es- tate, prevent fires, lessen insurance rates, help business generally and probably prevent loss of life X.

He Little Lot.

There were some interesting episodes
In the life Of Sir Charles Euan-Smfth-
Once in the market place Of an Az
ghanistan town he was fired at by
native. He lodged a complaint with
the ameer, who appeared to take no
notice of the incident, merely remark
ing, That's all right" Sir Charles
complained again and met with the
same reply. He still thought that the
ameer was treating a serious matter
with less consideration than it deserv-
ed, but thought 1t advisable to say no
more on the subject. About a week
afterward he was invited by the ameer
to ride with him. They rode for some
distance outside the town, and they
passed gibbet after gibbet- At length
Sir Charles said, your highness has
been busy of late" "Oh, no." replied
the ameer; ''they are your little lot"
He had seized all the members Of the
would be assassin's family and hanged
every one Of them.
