BY WILLIAM BAYARD HALE.

Berlin, via Sayville. wireless, Jan.
3.-The Bulgarian, Turkish and Ger
man troops have now decisively
thrown back the Russian forces in
the northwest corner of the DobrudJa
and haze gained the heights beyond
MaCin. from where their guns now
can rake the cities of Braila TO the
west and Galatz, to the northwest.
The artillery OF the central powers
is now planted on the east bank OF
the Danube Braila and Galatz are
important trading centers.
In eastern Wallachia the Russ Ru-
manfan army has beep pushed back
to a point where it is less than twelve
kilometers tseven and a half miles)
from their fortified Seretf line.
A final stand is a forlorn hope in the
face of the pounding by the Ninth
and Danube armies. The invaders are
not permitting the retreating foe
even a breathing spell
The Sereth fortihCations were con-
structed by the Rumanians years ago
TO meet a possible invasion from the
north. 1t now has been reconstructed
for the purpose of holding back the
foe who has been coming on from
Transylvania and the Danube. The
question Of the complete subsection
OF Rumania is merely a matter of
time

MCFARLAND THINKS
PLAY-TIME WASTED

Washington, Jan. 3.-The American
people are all liars, according to J.
Horace Mcfarland. president of the
American Civic Association. In an
address today before the National
Parks conference, Mr.. Mcfarland
said the national hymn proved what
liars the American people are.
Il love thy rocks and rills. thy
woods and tempted hills" the hymn
runs, but we mine out the former and
we chop out the latter" said Presi
dent Mcfarland. The speaker esti-
mated that, the American people use
$4,000 years of time every day in
play which costs them about $l1,-
100000 every twenty-four hours.
To divert as much OF this time and
money as possible toward the ma
tional park development propaganda
should be the big Job according to
Mr.. Mcfarland.
