RUSSIAN PLANS AGAINST THE
 B0SP0RUs FALL, SAY TEUT0NS
Germans Declare That Troops Engaged Tn That Sector of War Are Available for Use Elsewhere.
CBy Review Leased Wirel

BERLIN. Jan. 5 (by wireless) - The larger part of the forces of the central powers which have been fight ing in the Dobrudja now are free for other employment and any Russian plan to reach Constantinople by go- ing through the Dobrudja can be con- sidered to have failed, writes the military critic of the Overseas News Agency in reviewing the military sit nation. The critic says:
 "Jijila and Natchin where the Rues- sians offered desperate resistance. have been stormed by Germany and Bulgarian troops and the fragments of the defeated Russian units have been driven into a neck of land three kilometers wide and eight kilometers long where only one road leads 10 the Danube. Because of the lakes and swampy groung in this district all further resistance must be considered hopeless.
 By this last victory all of the Do brudja aggregating 1000 square kilo- meters has fallen into the hands of the central powers. The troops un- der General Sakharotf and the rapidly concentrated cavalry divisions. after a little more than a fortnight of bloody battle have been driven north ward distance of seventy kilometers and beyond the Danube by the fires tible Bulgarian. Turkish and German troops.
 "A defense of the Dobrudia against a new Russian eruption is easy since on the north it is covered by the broad swampy district of the lower Danube and on the east by the Danube delta and the Black Sea.
 "Anl Russian plan to obtain en- trance to Constsntinople on the road through the Dobrudja can be consider ed to have failed forever. The larger part of the forces of the central pow CTS in the Dobrudja are now free for other employment.
 Since the middle of December the entente has been on the defensive everywher. Anglo-Frnch activity on the western front has been limited mostly to artillery fire"

DECLARATION 0F DEFIANCE"
 ISSUED BY RUMAN|AN PEOPLE
Chamber of Deputies Declares That Central Nations Can Never Subdue the Great Rumanian Government.
(By Review Leased Wire)

JASSY, Rumania, Jan. 5.-(Via Lon don)--ln response to unanimous vote of the chamber of deputies, the Ru- manian government has ordered that a declaration of defiance" be placard- ed in every town. The declaration, which was read in the chamber of deputies by Deputy Jorga is in part as follows:
 "7o indulge at this moment in re- criminations and personalities would be to fail to comprehend the great and tragic majesty of the time. This war will cause to arise here as elsewhere new moral harvest in the soul of everyone who aspires to serve the in- terests of the country. We see close at hand the spectre of the invader, greedy for the suffering of those whom he hopes to make his victims. But the rallying of our moral forces will show the world all the intelligence energy and dignity that the nation possesses.
 We are no longer party against party or personality against personal ity. The country absorbs us in its sorrows and hopes.
 ''The Rumanian army is not con- quered. It is unconQuered in that which constitutes the sole value of an army even in this age of cOwardly, sterile, technique, namely, in the con sciousness of having generously offer ed itself in order to save the country and to secure the triumph of its race. Its ong resistance does honor to it's flag. The spirit of thousands who have perished has passed. with the pain of that supreme moment to those who survived and who carry with them the spirit of their lost comrades.
 At the moment of victory they shall not be rewarded only by flowers while the fruits are reaped by others. *****Does the enemy seek reply from us? We give it here. He may have burned our harvests, ruined our resources, sent to the grave the flower of our youth; he may have destroyed

DE FACTO TROOPS DEFEAT VILLA

Carranza Consul at Ell Paso
 Reports That General Mur-I guia Was Entirely Success full in Engagement.
(By Review Leased Wirel

CHIHUAHUA City. Jan. 5.-Villa was defeated at Jimenez yesterday by General Francisco Murguia with a loss of 150O rebel dead, wounded and captured, with the noted rebel leader, Martin Lopez and another Villa general among the slain, ac- cording 10 an official report received mander. Villa and his under chief, Salazar, were said to be fleeing to- ward Fl Valle in an automobile, closely pursued by government troops.
 General Murguia states that his com-n and pushed back Villas troops five miles after coming into contact. Machine guns are credited with play ing an important part in the offen- sive, in which both cavalry and in- fantry were heavily engaged. Villa according to the report, personally led repeated cavalry attacks against Murguia's infantry. which were check ed With heavy losses.
 Besides Villas heavy losses in men. horses. ammunition, arms and other war material, General Murguia claims the recovery of many carloads of the loot brought by the Villa troops from Torreon.
 Government cavalry is said to have killed about fifty members of Villas body guard. which is protecting him in his escape by automobile.
 General Murguia advises his subor- dinates here that he intends to keep up hot pursuit, as Villas forces are badly disorganized. The general says the direction of the scattered bands is towards Parral where he expects

works we have done no European business whatever
 We believe it would be dangerous for this country to be dependent upon foreign manufacturers for war ma terial of any kind. We believe the American government and American manufacturers should cooperate to the end that the facilities for the manufacture of the munitions of all kinds should be available to the United States.
 "We have developed at Bethlehem the largest ordnance plant in the work. We hold that plant. our forces and our engineers as a great national asset and I am perfectly willing to have the government consider our whole plant to be available by the government for it's use in time of war"

Clerk of thei5 teme Court Announces l<irt Decision on Motion to Strike" Will Be Made Monday.
 FURTHER ARGUMENT THEN TO BE TAKEN UP Legislature Certain to Receive Two Messages--Three More Days Will Be Necessary to Complete Inspection.
Special to the Review

! PHOENIX, Jan. 5.-The governor i ship contest continuing over until next week, leaves one Arizona legisla- ture in the position of cart with two horses and probably with the horses pulling in opposite directions. When it became known today that the su- preme court had announced it would Hunt attorneys to strike out parts of the Campbell complaint this morning, there was revived the knotty problem of which of two messages the legisla- ture will recognize Monday when the law makers meet There seem to be several courses open to the solons they can accept either, one or the other or neither.
 So few of the members of the house and senate had shown up today it was impossible to get ,ine on what ac- ton might be taken. There have been no csucuses. These important pre-or- ganization meeting will probably be | held either tomorrow or Sunday if at all. The legislature may meet infor mally and decide to come together Monday solely for the purpose of con forming to law, and then adjourn.
 Hunt and, Campbell each made sub stantial gains in today's inspection, according ro the inspectors and watch CTS. Hunt men claimed to have added is ballots to his total in Cochise coun- ty. Both Hunt and Campbell men ad- mitted gain for Campbell of fl in two Gila precincts, with another claim by Campbell workers of ten additional. These claims were based on the result of the inspection up to 4:30 this after noon.
 Navajo county was not finished as the inspectors all thought it would be by Friday night. Greenlee is the only county not yet touched. and in addi- tion, there are parts of Navajo, Co chise and Gila. It is thought likely that the inspection will last beyond Monday and may require until Tues day evening to conclude
 The unofficial report on Gila county, so far as it had been inspected yester- day, showed net gains for Campbell of 13 in Hayden, 10 in Miami and one in one of the smaller precincts, mak- ing a total of 24. One of the Cochise boards had apparently had purist ten dencies, and had laid aside a number of ballots, uncounted and ticketed void. They bore distinguished marks such as have been passed by most of the other election boards, but which are now being claimed one way and another by the inspectors. Hunt may count for himself the larger part of these votes.
 Two executive offices continued in action during the day. One. in the state house, was occupied by Mir Hunt The other, established at the residence of Mir. Campbell. was kept open today in charge of Malcolm Fraser, whose term as secretary to Governor Camp bell is also in question. as it has been said he is ineligible, not being a citizen of the state.

POLICE SEARCH FOR MURDERER
 |S ENDED
Philadelphia Detectives Think That Suicide, Lewis, Was the Murderer of Beautiful Artists Model.
(By Review Leased Wire)

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 5.-Police search for the slayer of Maizie Col bert, artists model who was mur- dered in her apartment here last Fri day ended today and tonight Captain of Detectives Tate announced he was convinced that Bernard w Lewis, son of retired Pittsburg coal opera tor who committed suicide at At lantic City last night just as the po- lice were about to arrest him, was the murderer.
 The detective department has ac- cepted beyond doubt the conclusion that Lewis, former law student at Yale, who had been separated from his wife in Pittsburg, felled the model with a blow from a blunt instrument and fled after strangling her with a silk stocking. The police inves- tigation now has narrowed down to the motive for the crime, and while the general belief of the detectives is that Lewis was temporarily embar- rassed, financially and may have been driven to .strangle the young woman to secure funds, the supposition that his mind was temporarily unbalanced is also given credence.
 A costly diamond ring belonging to the slain girl, the gift of another ad- mirer is still missing.
 Some of the circumstances point ing to Lewis as the slayer. as in- dicated by the police were: His

 NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Charles M. Schwab. chairman of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation in a statement here tonight relative to the under-bidding of American manufacturers by Had fields Limited. of England. for the making of l4-inch and 16-inch shells for the American navy said in part:
 "The Hadfield's bid is for a specific 16-inch shell. samples of which are being forwarded to be tested by the United States government. Of the de- tails and specifications under which these shells are made We are not aware.
 We do know that at Bethlehem we have spent large sums of money trying to meet government specifica- tions on 14-inch shells and so far only at a considerable loss. for the reason that the tests have been so severe that we have not yet been able to meet them. although that portion of our plant which is equipped for mak- ing such shells has been devoted en- tirely to the effort to meet the re- uuirements of the United States gov ernment In that department of our
