ALL OF D0BRuDJA
 CLEARED OF RUSS AND RUMANIANS
rRepubIican A. P. Leased WlreJ


 Except for narrow strip of land protecting into the Danube marshes toward the Moldavian town of CalatZ. all of Dobrudja has been cleared by the Teutonic allies of Russian and Ruz manian troops. After the fall of Match in and Jiiila, the defenders began retreat across the Danube toward Braila and, according to Berlin, force of Russian rear guards on the penin sula projecting toward Galatz com prises the only entente troops now in Rumania between the Danube river and the Black Sea.
 In Moldavia the Teutonic allies are continuing their invasion of the coun- try from the west while in the south they are meeting with strong resist ance at various points from the Rus sian and Rumanian troops.
 In the wooded Carpathians the Rus sians in an attack captured from the Germans an advanced position north of Meste- Canesci. Petrograd reports that in this fighting the Russians took 500 men prisoners and captured three cannons sixteen machine guns and other war material.
 On the other fronts the operations are still confined to reciprocal bonn bardments and engagements between small reconnoitering parties in Galicia, the Austro- Germans delivered several attacks against the Russians but they proved unsuccessful. Raids of German trenches northeast of Arras and in the neighborhood of Wytschaete are re- ported by the London war office which asserts also that German attempt against British trenches east of Ar mentieres was put down with losses by the attackers

.POPE n NAME COMMISSION TO
 N|ORK FUR CHRISTIAN REUNION

ticularly toward the establishment of a reunion of the Russian church and the papacy and to a thorough re-eN- animation into the validity of Angli- can or Episcopal ordinations which was settled in the negative in papal bull "apostoical sedis," by Pope Leo x.
 The honor of presiding over the com mission of cardinals, Dr. Palmieri has been informed, will be bestowed upon Cardinal Nicola Marini, who has de- voted many years to scientific re- search and to the cause of a reunion of Christianity. The interest of the pope in the problem of Christian unity is said to have been intensified by the recent progress of the world congress, initiated by the American Episcopal church.
 "The new pope" said Dr. Palmieri. summarizing the information received from Rome, has taken a considerable part in the efforts of neutral nations to establish peace among nations and the vatican's efforts have been sug gested, not only by a humanitarian spirit, but by a longing for Christian unity. efforts of Leo XIII for carrying out the reunion of Christianity were abruptly stopped by Plus X, who aimed at an inner reform of the Cath ollie clergy and turned all his energies to the crushing of modernism.
 Benedict NV thinks it is time to re- new the policy of Leo XIII and also that the establishment of a political peace would be the first step toward renewed attempts to stop the splitting of Christianity into great number of sectS
 Ut seems to the vatican that the orthodox Slavs will be very soon called to take more active part in the life of western nations, either Protestant or Catholic, and that it is necessary to come to an understanding with them in order to avoid evils produced by religious intolerance

 If this kind of executive coercion ls persisted in and submitted to by congress, then OUT government is no longer q government Of the people. It IS not democracy. It is not a re- public. IL Is d dcspotism worse than any known monarchy
 He reviewed the Wilson administra- ton in great detail. Tn urging repeal of the Panama free tolls clause. he said the president had descended tu the level e common lobbyist" and the submission of congress he de- scrioed as a humiliating spectacle. '' Efforts to force the shipping bill. he said, were shameful. adding that the reserve act was passed by 'presiden= tial iictation and caucus rule" and the child labor bill by "humuliating lobbying for political reasons. the president being a political candidate" "
 The presidents insistence on pas sage of the Adamson act, Senator Works declared. was "deplorable, '' while the recent confirmation of q su- prcme court justice furnished a "sfockirg example of unwarranted in~ flUence.'
 The course of the president in Mexico" he continued, "has been on of arrogance and arbitrary, if not unlawful cyoI else of power. Twice has the president appointed commits eionors without lawful authority to negotiate with commissioners appoint ed by CarranZa to settle our relations with Mexico"
 The senator, also denounced the presidents appointment of personal representatives in Mexico, and said that the United States had twice gone to war with Mexico without the sanction of congress
 Advocating single presidential term, Senator Works said the idea oi Q president being the leader of a political party was obnoxious. and attacked President Wilson for alleged repudiatior Of the single term plank

MOTION TO STRIKE
 FROM COMPLAINT IS
 INTRODUCED.B IVES

for tie plaintiff. Governor Campbell. Judge Sloan read the complaint which recited a sort of history of the facts leading up to the demand for the office by Campbell This in- cluded the fact of the election. those of the canyassing of returns by the boards of supervisors and transmits sion of the results to the secretary of state; the fact of the official re- turn of the results of the election to the then governor. and. finally, the fact of the issuance of an election certificate to Tom Campbell. The complaint alleged that on the face of tho official returns Campbell had received 27,976 votes and Hunt 27,946
 MT. Ives then introduced his mo- tion to strike, separate from his for rlal answer He called the man. damus writ an extraordinary rem edy," and moved to strike out all of paragraph two of the complaint and part of paragraph three, referring to other so- called bases of the presump- ton of Campbells right % the of- flee than the election certificate it. self. He said the right to the office rested solely on what the secretary of state had issued; that there was TO law providing that supervisors send the returns to the secretary of state, ard that the latter had no right to issue an election certificate.
 In the afternoon session, Senator Ives contended that the certificate was not necessary, but that com mission from the governor was neces- sary. Hunt has issued several cer- tificates within the past few days, so that some state officials have these, ard some certificates.
 There were references made by the Campbell attorneys in their reply to the contentious of the other side in other actions related to the gov eruorship contest
 The court frequently took part in the discussion. and asked many questions. Justice Cunningham want cd to be assured that the trial of this case did not constitute d trial of the permanent title to the office. but that it was merely an action to de termine it's temporary possession. Justice Ross said at one time that he was loath to believe that q cer- tificate of election is not necessary and on another occasion that he had been elected to office several times and that this was the first time he had received 6 commission.
