Withdrawal Of TeutoniC Forces Near TultCha Announced in
 Berlin Statement
RUSSIANS IN RIGA SECTOR
 SQUEEZED BY GERMAN PUSH
British Admiralty Statement. Based on Information From Petrograd, Ad- mtts Success of Enemy at Northern End of Long Battle Line-Six En- tente Airplanes Shot Down on West Front.

fTOnt.
 Apparently the Bulgarians were un- able to hold the ground on the north side of the southern estuary of the Danube, north of Tultcha, in De- brudja, occupation of which was an- nounced yesterday. Today's state ment, while somewhat ambiguously Worded, apparently indicates a with drawal of the Bulgarians to their former position on the northern side of the estuary.
 This movement is the only impor- tant one that has occurred in the Ru- manian campaign, so far as shown by the Berlin report. Extreme cold weather is affecting the operations in the Moldavian mountain region and there has been only skirmishes and ar tillery engagements along that front
 Attention again is turned to the Riga region on the northern end of the Russian front where a renewal of the fighting is reported by Berlin. This was forecast by yesterdays an- nouncement of the resumption of in tense artillery fire in that region. The Berlin account of the progress of the fighting simply declares that it took a course favorable to the Germans r On the Franco-Belgian front the activity of raiding attachments is being continued. The French report m mentions successful raids by French troops near Chilly, south of the Sonme, and patrol operations in the AWoevre district. Berlin reports air engagements in 1Sbich the Entente lost a total of six sairplanes. Three German machines were drought down on the French front, Paris announces.

is a vital reason behind it all.
It isn't all a lark, though
comedy turks on the footsteps
Of the stout hearted pretender;
an American father, a French
mother and quick sympathies
that link fatherland and moth
erland in love that braves very
real dangers for the safety of
one and the honor of both. In
the story there is a mast ire
sistible young man whose
name is Buzz and who lives up
to it. There is an irascible old
bachelor uncle, secretary Of
state to his excellency the gov
ernor of Karpeth, "the great

CHAPTER II.
NiVe la Franco.

"FE HE uncle OF -AlEeIICa mas come
to confusion Of the sex be-
81 tween Pierre and ne from
a careless memory and the
writing of my hand, which is Of a
great boldness, but not to be easily
read" l explained as l read the letter
aloud to Pierre and Nannette.
1t took me just one hour by the clock,
sitting there on the pile Of steamer
wraps 18th the small Pierre in the hol-
low of ny arm, TO explain and trans
late the sense Of that letter to Old Nan
nette, and l feel sure she would have
been sitting upon that spot yet, i'm
movable, rather than let me depart
from her if l had not put all of my
time and force upon the picturing to
her of a Pierre who could come down
with her later to me in a condition to
run through the gardens of Twin Oaks,
which was the home of his American
ancestors. With that vision constantly
before her she let the porter and me
insert her into taXicab and extract
her at the door of the small private
hospital of the good DR.. Burns, who
was to perform the miracle for the
back and hip of small and radiant
Pierre.
But what is it that | do to permit
the jeune file of my beloved mistress
to depart into this city Of wicked saw
ages not attended by me? l cannot.
Do not demand it," were the words
with which l left her arguing with
that very sympathetic and sensible doc
tor of America. He had not noticed
a confusion of Sex was between Pierre
and me, and he had sent out the check
of my wicked uncle and procured the
American money for me. Also he had
given me a few directions that he ap-
peared to think of a great sufiiciency
and had ordered a taxi to be in readi-
ness for me.
Nonsense, nurse" he said to Nan
nette brusquely but not with unkind-
ness. when l had translated to him
Nannette's weeping protests. "A great
strapping girl like that can get down
to the Harpeth valley all right by her
self. Nobody's going to eat her up,
and from the size of the biceps l de-
tect under that chiffon l think she
could give a good account of herself

with you, but I've a patient all pre-
pared for an operation. Shall l send

"No, please, good doctor, and good
by" l said, with a great haste, as l
hurriedly embraced both Nannette and
the small Pierre and departed down
the broad steps into the taxi with the
open door.
Your trainmay not leave for hOGrg,
but you can get your baggage tcgath-
er. Goodby," said that good doctor as
he shut the door and returned to his
pursuit of making human beings either
whole or dead
