RUMAN|ANS WALK
AWAYfR0M ENEMY
Newton. States That Rus.
slams Are Dissatisfied
With Their Ally.

New York, Jan. 20-Dr. Philip New
ton of New York, who holds the rank
of general in the Russian Army, con-
ferred, upon him by the Car for his
services with the ambulance corps,
has returned to America after Nbeing
twelve months on the eastern front.
He says the Rumanians had been a
great disappointment to the Russians
because they had walked away in
stead of facing the enemy and doing
their share of the fighting.
LAS a Russian General described
them to me- DR.. Newton went on to
say, 1.-The Rumanians have to knock
off soldering every night at Z o'clock
to go fiddling at the cafes. They
sold out their crops twice, once to
and then to Austria, and
the latter government got the major
part of the grain. When the Ru-
manian army.of 100000 went into the
field the men had nothing to sustain
them in the campaign.
1.-THE Russian cavalry rode 25 miles
ahead of the Rumanians and cap
tured four batteries of artillery; the
latter just walked away and let the
enemy take charge.
in the field and another 100000
troops in reserve ready to be called
upon. They have plenty of ammuni-
ton and a good supply of stores and
provisions to carry on the Winter
campaign
Dr. Newton said that he took over
16 auto ambulances to Russia from
New York a year ago, and was as
signed to the army in the Carpa-
thians, where they carried as many
as 1900 wounded from the battle
front in six days. In one attack on
an enemy position, which lasted 16
hours, he saw four Russian soldiers
return unscathed out of two regi-
ments numbering 5000 men. Nearly
900 men returned, he explained, but
only four Of them were whole men.
One Austrian regiment that was cap
tut ed by the Russians were shoeless,
ragged and i'll fed

pletion of 35 years Of service. Teach
ers may be retired by the employing

annuity based on their accumulated

fore the age of retirement receive

The doings Of the Horse Railroad
Co.'S scraper, in throwing the snow
from the tracks and piling it~up out
side, on, the line Of the road, has
stirred UP a spirit of antagonism
amohe the Merchants and others who
dislike the heaps that made in front
of their premises. Under the inspira-
ton of this feeling, two or three yoke
of cattle with a heavy sled, have been
set to work this afternoon to spread
the snow again, upon the road. OF
course this excited the curiosity of
people and many gathered on the cor
ners and elsewhere to see the sport
The case is an extraordinary and I'M
expected one and some way, no
doubt, will be devised to remedy the
matter so as to satisfy all.

(COntinued.)


Among the OBJECTS that VIII neces-
sarily invite the attention of the Leg
islature, the situation on the manu-
featuring interests of the country
ought not to be disregarded. The
early effort they made to render their
country Independent of foreign sup
plies, not little facilitated the oper-
atoms of the late war. Neglect by
government of their interests cannot
but restrain in the event of further
hostilities. the direction that patriot
ism and enterprise would otherwise
give to a great proportion Of the CAPT.
tai of the country. 1t is proposition
too plain to require any observation to
enforce it, that no nation can be real
1y and substantially independent
which relies on any other for its .es-
sential supplies of clothing. The
maintenance of our manufacturers is
in my view of deep interest to the
present and future prosperity of our
country, and confidently recommend

bated proposals to amalgamate with all
anti Liquor organizations in the United

a plank in one Of the major party plat
forms for 1920.
The committee was divided on the
issue into two factions, one of which
argued that unless one of the major
parties adopts a national prohibition
plank in good faith the chance of hav-
ing the Prohibition party swallowed up
should not be taken. The other took the
position that destruction of the liquor
traffic was primary and the perpetual
ton Of the party name secondary.
