Braila Further Imperiled.

By the capture of Matchin and Jijila
the forces of the central powers have
driven the Russians almost to the :ex-
tremity of the Dobrudja mainland.

Braila and Galata.' The bridgehead
which the Russians had prepared here
is believed to have been based largely
on Matchin, the principal town within
it's area and which gave the bridge.

still further imperil Braila; on the op-'
posite bank of the Danube. which. ac-
cording to adyices from Teutonic
sources. has been under the fire of
Won Mackensen's force from this shore
for several days. Braila, however. is
still further defended by a bridgehead
on the Wallachian shore. and at last
accounts this position was still hold
ing firm against the Teutonic attacks.
Braile is an important Danube port
and has been a storehouse for grain and
oil supplies of considerable magnitude.

Silk Thefts Total $500, 900.

NEW YORK, January 4.-Reports re-
ceiyed by burglary insurance compa-
MES show that silk worth more than
5000. 900 was stolen from loft buildings
here during the last year. The thefts
were due. one expert said. to the de-
mand for silk. it's high price and the
ease with which il can be marketed
when stolen. Because of the difficulty
in identifying stolen silks. it was said
that less than one-tenth of ! per cent
of the silk has been recovered. one
case is reported where two thieves
stole $1,000 worth of silk and sold it
for only cents a yard less than the
market value.

Sent to President Wilson,.
So Count Andrassy Saws

LONDON. January 4.-President Will
son now knows the peace conditions Of
the Teutonic allies. and the entente
powers can learn what they are from
him. Count Julius Andrassy, formerly
premier of Hungary. is quoted as as
serting in dispatch from Budapest
forwarded to the Central News Agency
by way of Amsterdam.
The statement attributed to Count
Andrassy was made in New Year
speech. He said:
'As the entente alleges that our peace
proposal was only maneuver and was
not made with any earnest desire TO
bring about peace. I am able to declare
that President Wilson now knows our
peace conditions and the entente can
learn them from that source"

He has got oceans of kelp and he is
quite likely to discover that he can pro-
