Business Buying Record Remains

Washington, Jan. 4.-Peace talk
and the car shortage apparently are
recorded as influential factors in the
nations life, during the last month,
in reports on the general business
condition from federal reserve agents
made public today by the federal re-
serve board. Business activity shows
little diminution, the summary of the
board states, and in the east, south,
and west, the business buying record
remains at its high levels. The re-
port from soH,e districts show:
: Reports.
New York: Advices from large
number of firms and corporations
show that trade and industry in gen.
eral have continued active, and prac-
tically unchanged, notwithstanding
developments in the war situation,
disturbance in money rates, and un-
settled stock markets.
Chicago: All authorities report
continuance in large volume of bust
ness. There is no marked evidence
of recession due to peace rum0rs.
Minneapolis: Generally favorable
trade conditions are marred only by
increasing difficulties from car short
age and the traffic situation.

RUSSIANS NEARLY
DRIVEN OUT Of
DANUBE TERRITORY
Dispatches to Entente Indicate
slavs Will Be Forced to
Fall Back
DOUBTFUL WHETHER ALLIES
CAN HOLD CITY OF. BRA1LA
(Assoeiated Press) .


Russia's last remaining hold in Ru-
mania OF Dobrudja has been so badly
shaken by. the loss of Matchin to Field
Marshal Won Mackensen that it seems
doubtful if she can much longer re.
tain her grip on this trans-Danube ter
ritory.
Dispatches from Entente sources in.
dicate an expectation that she prob
ably will be forced shortly to abandon
it.
Still Held.
West of the Danube at this point,
Braila, the important Rumanian grain
and oil storage depot, is still held by
the Russians but it is considered
doubtful whether they can hold out
long under as serious threat as is
supplied by the Germans and Bulgar-
ians from across the river.
The line Ok the !Sereth to which the
Russians haS6 returned further north
westward runs just north of Braila.
The expectation was indicated in
the dispatches, however, that the pro.
longed defense of the city had given
time for the removal of the valuable
stores and provisions of material
which it contained.

Amsterdam, Jan. 4.-1'llat Germany
will answer the allied yejoiner in q
formal note, setting forth the German
aims in the war was reported today
in unconfirmed Berlin dispatches. The
reports aroused the greatest interest
here.
1t is reported that Germany is pre-
pairing the counter reply that will
make her peace terms more specific.
This is due, it is said, to- the brink of
a political and econolSic breaking
upon which Germany stands.
Polishing Reply.
The Entente Allied reply to Presi-
dent Wilson's peace note is receiving
a final polishing off, according to dis
patches received here. Apparently the
governments concerned are anxious to
avoid criticisms and are carefully con-
sidering every word entering the note.
The Cologne Zeitung this afternoon
confirmed the statement credited to
Count Andrissy yesterday that Ger
man peace terms are now in the hands
of the United States.
