E. C. SPIL LSBURY LS0ENDORSES
 THE PRESIDENT
Mining Engineers President Favors Him for His Ac-
 complishments.

New York, Oct. 21.-E. G. Spills bury, former President of the Amer ican Institute of Mining. Engineers and now President of the Engineers Club of New York city. is another ad- dition to the list of influential busi- ness men supporting the candidacy of Woodrow Wilson.
 MT. Salisbury is in no sense a poli- tician, and he harbors a distaste for anything in the nature of a publish ed interview, but he consented to an announcement of his views when con- vinced that by openly declaring him. self he could further the cause of the President and the country.
 Like many other men of big af- fairs, MT. Salisbury is supporting MT. Wilson. not as matter of party af- filiation but because of the achieve ments of the administration, particu- larly here at home, achievements which have convinced him of the capability, courage and steadfastness of the President.
 The economic reforms of the ad- ministration especially meet with MT. Spilsbury's approval MT. Wilson's solicitude for the welfare of all legi- timate business, his protective and constructive legislation along those lines, are such as to convince him that it would be the height of folly to throw away an actual prosperity al- most unequalled for lot of rainbow promises.
 Mr. Salisbury holds that the Ma tion's prosperity is domestic, natural and permanent, a condition the Presi- dent foresaw when he outlined his plan for removing the shackles from business and permitting it access to the world. By keeping the United States out of the world war, MT. Sptls- bury believes. the President made possible a realization of domestic prosperity, and this in the face of perplexities and complications on all sides. The prevailing good times. he holds, are distinctly not due to the European war. He figures that our munitions exports for the last fiscal year amount to less than one per cent. of our total manufactures.
 "Pm for Wilson," said MT. Spills bury, "as a business man, as a man who has his country's welfare, as we'll as his individual prosperity, at heart. I recognize in President Wilson the qualities of leadership; his record has shown me his sincerity of purpose, and his promises fulfilled give me firm faith in. the fulfillment of all others he has made or may make.
 "He has kept the Nation at peace. although he himself has been con- stantly at war, fighting our battles for us, even as we heaped criticism upon him for not permitting HIS to join in the fighting"

There is no room for fresh shell hole. We have literally blasted our way forward. Ruin appears not only in the devastated earth, but alsos in the sadder waste of human life. This is all ground sacred to the memory of our dead. Also, in the scarcely defined trenches of the enemy, the German corpses lie thickly"
 In regard to the situation in the air, the communique says:
 Tn, this respect the British and French domination is almost ab- solute. Here all day long we watch our planes circling above our heads. So rarely do the German machines appear that some men who have been here daily for month have not seen a single one.''

London, Nov. 25.-Rumania tonight
faced the biggest offensive now in force
during the war. Part of it's army is
apparently nearly enveloped in Little

tonic forces and today's official state

In addition to these there was ap-
parently no let up in the pressure to
be expected from Hungary southwark
on the Transylvanian Alps.
DRIVE ON BUCHAREST.
1t is evident that the Teutons are
drive on Bucharest. Accepting all the
Teutonic allies statements as correct,
German or Bulgarian troops are now
distant from Bucharest as follows:
Islands in the Danube claimed
by Sofia to have been occupied by
their forces at Guiarsivo (Giur-
siu) SO miles due south Of Buch-
Arrest.
Crossing of the Danube in Do
brudja and "sainns of a foot
hold on Rumanian soiI"--cIaimed
by Berlin, probably not moro than
65 miles distant.
Crossing of the lower Ait river
claimed by Berlin, probably 90
miles distant.
Fighting in the Transylvanian Alps
still hotly in progress, makes the Teu-
tons about 80 miles distant at the north
from the Rumanian capital.
RETREAT Is ADMITTED.
The Petrograd statement today threw
some light on what must be the efforts
of the Rumanian forces which Berlin
claimed to have elected from Orosova,
Turnu- SEVERN and Craiova to break
through the circle of the enemy.
1t reported forced retirement of the
Rumanians behind the Oltete river. 1t
admitted retreat southward in the
Alt valley. 1t confirmed crossing of the
Danube by the Bulgarians near Sim

CAMPAIGN PLAN SHOWN.
In view of these statements, military
experts believed the German plan of
campaign now stood revealed. While
Won Falkenhayn squeezed his circle
tighter, compelling the Rumanians to
retreat nearer and nearer to the south
ern border, the Bulgarians are sud-
denly thrown in force at the Danube
boundary line. in efforts to cut off this
Rumanian avenue of escape while at
the same time menacing Bucharest.
The Rumanian official statement de-
clared the Bulgarian advance from
Simnitza and Islaz (probably Islazu
has been arrested successfully. Berlin
admitted tenacious resistance from
the forces which Won Fal<enhayn is at
tempting to encircle. What was of
most hope here in the situation was the
fact that none of the Teutonic allies

siderable capture of prisoners nor of
war materials. indicating success Of
the Rumanians so far in eluding the
