Rurnania's Crown
Prince Flees to
Escape Hun Grip
Flight to Odessa Follows
Closely Reports of Anti
German Outbreak
Favors Allies Cause
Queen Marie Hopes to See
Her Army Again in Action
for the Entente

COPENHAGEN, Sept. 21.-The Ru-
manian Crown Prince has fed from
Rumanian territory and arrived in
Odessa, according to the Ukrainian
newspaper "Krewskaia."
News Of the fight of Crown Prince
Charles Of Rumania follows closely
reports that came from German sources
of an anti-German outbreak in Ru-
mania, in which Queen Marie, who is
an incorporating sympathizer with
the Entente, was the prime mover
King Ferdinand was reported to be
holding aloof from the movement. Field
Marshal Won Mackensen, it was stated,
was to return to Rumania at once, to-
gether with DR.. Solf, the German Colo
NAL Secretary, presumably to deal with
the reported outbreak
Crown Prince Charles is known to
have been in sympathy with the at
titude of his mother in her bitter
hatred for all things German, and
quite possibly would have been asso-
ciated with her in any anti-German
agitation.
Rumanians Want to Fight Again
Correspondence Of The Associated Press
PARIS, Sept. 14.-Queen Marie of
Rumania is looking forward hopefully
for the time when the Rumanian army
can again take the field against the
German oppressors of her little coun-
try. 1t is known that she will rally her
army whenever the time seems favor
able and the Entente Allies request it.

jolly hard fighting and we do not expect
the war to end this autumn" aaid a
famous fighting general to mo. "but we
shall make the boche fronting us wish
1t would"
One must ride over tho reconoue~ed
Lys, Ancre and Somme country and
walk in the famous Queant switch of
the hindcnburg trench defence system
TO realize the enormous strength Of
these scientifically built and thoroughly
equipped German line forts and the
magnitude Of the British task and
the power and durability of their war
engine in action. The problem Of
breaking the Hndenburg line which
tho British faced in 1917 is being
achieved. The fall Of this redoubtable
switch has been the most important
first step and quite the most notable in
the series Of recent Ally achievements.
10000 BOches Captured
The Alternating blows of the British
armies have brought them approx
mately to the front they held six
months ago. Within six weeks, during
which time the Germans have employed
htty-three divisions, using one division
to about every two miles and a half of
the front, they have lost $4,000 prison
ers, making the totall Ally capture
since July Is 100000. With his dlvi-
SONS fit for the offensive reduced to
fourteen, Of which five are between the
Olsc and the sea, and the British men,
aclng Cambria, the French Laon and
the Americans Bricy, all under the
master strategist Foch, it is small
wonder that the Kaiser has loosed the
Austrian peace joker.
Having SO considerable proportion
of his force badly battered and growing
increasingly fearful of the tanks,
which, despite every device the Ger
had adopted to stop them from
breaking through their formidable belts
of wire and machine gun redoubts, thus
making way for the Ally infantry,
which otherwise could only get through
at terrible cost, the Boches are
their artillery we'll to the
rear and are using greatly increased
numbers of high explosives from their
long range cannon.
The enemy, recoiling before the
weight of the British blows, timed and
delivered with great and persstng
force, is sending over his observation
planes at the highest possible altitude
and his combat planes are lurking in
fleets back Of his own lines, to fall on
the British scouts whom he does not
dare venture forth to fight. He is
covering his retreat with multitudes
Of machine guns arranged in cunningly
nests and veritable earth
work forts, reinforced by railroad iron
and wire and defended by from twenty
five to fifty guns. He is laying bomb
traps in the deserted trenches, and
mines in roads and gaps in the wire
IN vain effort to check the British
pressure. But, as the British say. the
Boche have not yet stopped them.
The enemy still holds Passchcndaele,
Messnes Ridges, Cambria, St. Quentin,
Gobain Forest, Laon and the Chemin
des Danes, which compose the bulwark
of his west line. Cambria and St.
Gobain are the pivotal positions, and
the loss of either would imperil the
entire German line from Cambria, car
rying st. Quentin and Laon and turning
the Aisne position. A break in his
bulwark would force retirement on the
Lille Metz line, which in due course of

'IOWAN. SHOWS
AREAL THRIFT
LANDS IN MARSHALLTOWN WITH
TWENTY CENTS; HE IS NOW
WORTH $4,000.

Marshalltown, Jan. 16.-Coming to
this country eighteen years ago this
month, landing in this city with 20
cents in his pocket, Of which he spent
IS cents upon his arrival for break
fast, Norris Gervich, Russian Jew,
has demonstrated what perseverance
and thrift will accomplish.
Gervich recently bought and paid
for a fine home in the fashionable
residence district of the city, at cost
Of $7,750 and recently Invested $12,-
900 Of his savings in a $4,000 farm
in Fillmore county, Minnesota. He is
rated as worth $4,000, and has made
every cent of it since he came here
in the hide, fur and junk business.
Came from Russia.
Gervich came from the old Polish
section Of Russia, seeking the United
States as place where he could rise
to something more than serfdom.
He was unable to speak or write
English when he landed in Chicago
and took a Chicago Great Western
train for Minneapolis. Because he
spoke so brokenly the trainmen put
him on board the southbound section
of the train at Oelwein, and he landed
in Marshalltown instead Of Minneap-
oils.

is THE CAUSE.

New York, Jan. 16.-Tre in big
1ive-story warehouse filed with gov
eminent food supplies located on the
Brooklyn water front, broke out this
forenoon. Four alarms were turned
in. Accumulation of ice prevented
quick aid from fire boats.
An hour after the discovery of the
blaze it was estimated 100000 dam
age had been done. The fire boats
were struggling with ice foes in mid
stream, endeavoring to get near the
f1ame-enveloped building.
The fire boats finally were able to
break through the ice barriers and
together with a number of fire COM
panies, succeeded in preventing a
spread of the flames. Virtually all
the contents of the building were lost.
The structure, known as the Rob
inson stores of the New York Dock
company, occupies nearly an entire
block.
Fire Marshal Brophy hurried to the
scene after the fourth alarm and be-
gan an investigation of reports in in
cendiarism.
Later he said the fire resulted from
plumbers torch which had ignited
woodwork on the second floor of the
building. At noon it was believed the
flames were under control.

road work in 1917 is compared to
$155,557 spent in 1916.
One feature of the work during the
year just closed is the lessening OF
repair work to bridges, due to the
fact that the bridges now are being
made permanent, wherein during the
past they have been wooden struc.
lures.
In 1917 there was only $2,292 spent
for bridge repairing, as against &c.,
$50 in 1916. The saving of 1928 will
pay interest on all bridge bonds for a
year.
