packages and do not ask for frequent
or special deliveries.

AMERICAN LEGATION ROBBED
United States Minister at Bucharest
Suspects Germans of Theft OF
100000 Worth of Property

Washington. Dec, 1.-THE Ameri-
can legation at Bucharest was found
to have been entered and robbed
when American Minister Vopic1a re-
turned there from Jassy last Friday.
Mr.. Vopicka reported to the state
department today that goods valued
at more than 100000 were stolen
from twenty-five trunks which had
been left at the legation by Ameri-
cans for safe keeping. The seal on the
doors was broken and the legation
building seriously damaged.
Germans are believed by the Minis
ter to have been responsible.
Mr.. vopicka left Bucharest when
the Rumanian court and government
were compelled to fee from the cap
ital in November, 1915, at the ap-
proach of the German army under
Field Marshal Won Mackensen. For
several days before this many per-
sons had deposited their valua bles at
the legation in the hope of saving
them, as it was impossible to move
them away.
Mr.. Vopicka, according to officials
of the state departm ent, remained at
Jassy as long as that was the seat Of
the Rumanian government and re-
turned recently with the court to the

III MILES OF GUM
USED BY SOLDIERS
American Army Experiments
With Sticky Jaw Developer

The Y. NJ. 9. A. furnishes most of
delivery 1t recently ordered 77.5 tons
of Americas favorite jaw developer.
Now brace yourself for a. staggering
mental picture. When one speaks of
chewing gum in tons the human
mind starts to miss fire and skid, for
it takes considerable gum to weigh
1000 pounds. There are 1890, 900
sticks in IT'S tons-or there ought to
be.
Figuring the length of a stick of
gum as three inches this means 49,
100000 inches of gum, or 4,080,000
feet, or I'll miles. Try getting that
into your mouth all ait once. In other
words, if you laid the gum that will
be chewed by the A. E. F. in one
month, end to end. starting at New
York and following the New York
Central line, you would find yourself
well beyond Detroit. if your back held
out that far.
But some wight whose silly season
is perpetual has gone even further
toward the butterfly corral. He re-
spectfully submits to the editor Of the
Worlds Almanac the following glib
bering figures: If a man chews 70
times a minute and covers one inch
with each round trip, his jaw will
travel 900 inches, Or 1850 feet in
the five hours that may properly be
considered the average life of a piece
Of gum Multiplying this by the 49,
$40, 900 pieces OF gum in the 77.5
tons and reducing 1t to miles, we find
that the A E. F. will cover 5,4O5,776
law miles in consuming its month
