The parade. or tournament, moved
this year in seven divisions, with a
band leading each division, followed by
few notables mounted on horses. A
score or more prize saddlers from the

under the more notable officials but as
usual awkward dray horses, elabor-
ately clothed in blankets, had to do FOR
chargers for the many.
The floats mostly moved under mo-

licensed in California last year, which
is more than in Iowa, altho not so
many per capita. 1t is claimed that

II would not be necessary for Mack
ensen to clean up Moldavia, the north
ern province Of Roum:ana. before he
turns eastward toward Odessa. With
taking Braila and Galata, on the Dan
ube, just before it turns east, rounding
the northwest corner of Dobrudja, there
will be no great fortified cities III his
path.
His difficulty will be rather with the
rivers. The Dobrudja army is already
on the south bank OF the Danube. Just
north of Braila is the Sercth river, and
few miles further another tributary

shores are swampy, but Mackensen's
armies have crossed the Danube higher
up, and they believe they can do so
again.
Once across the Danube and the
Pruth, the Germans would enter the
fertile province of Bessarabia, rich in
stocks and grain and said to contain
rich coal mines.
