REGRET FOR MISERY
WOMEN AND CHILDREN
HEADQUARTERS, Transylvanian
Alps, (Via Sayville), Nov. 27-28.—•
“Our task has been merely to de
stroy the Rumanian artillery”, von
Falkenhayn told a staff representa
tive of the United Press today. "The
•work has been now accomplished
and the conquest of Rumania only a
matter of time.”
The roads were black with people
fleeing towards the Alt. The Ger
man leader said that they all felt
regret for the misery of the women
and children.
Their plight had always been piti
able.
The German commander also said
that he was not anxious to get to
Bucharest. When they did get these
they would hold it permanently like
Lille and Belgium and Polish cities.
It always meant feeding the popu
lation of the cities and inflicted a
hardship and presented a problem to
the German government to take
care of.
He reiterated that the sole desire
and intention of the Teutons was
to destroy the Rumanian army and
thus prevent its being used any
more by the enemies of the Central
Powers against them.
Von Falkenhayn asked what
would be the final outcome of the
war said that it was very uncertain
“I am only certain that Germany
will be surely victorious. Germany
is victorious now and will continue
so” said the former Chief of th«
Grand Staff.

SOMME AND ANCRE
LULL; LABASSEE BUSY
LONDON, Nov. 28.—The Somme
and Ancre regions are still quiet to
day. There has been no infantry
fighting reported from any section
of that front either from Paris or
from Haig. The weather conditions
continue very bad, rain or mist be
ing the daily portion of the troops
in both these sections.
LONDON, Nov. 28.— Today the
Allies began an intensive bombard
ment along the Labassee canal posi
tions with the Germans replying
with considerable vigor. Haig re
ports a German concentration in
that section having been the cause
of an intensive artillery fire from
the British. The violence of the
German reply shows that they had
prepared also for a bombardment
and that it is not unlikely had con
templated an offensive in that diffi
cult section.
BERLIN, Nov. 28.—The fighting
is most severe around Labassee
where artillery work took on an in
tensive nature. The Allies are pre
paring for an attempted offensive in
that region. The German guns have
silenced the British artillery fire.
PARIS, Nov. 28.—The situation
along the west front is the same.
East of the Meuse and at Labasse In
the north, artillery duels were in
progress but there have been no in
fantry engagements. It is very in
clement weather and is getting very
cold.
LONDON SAYS THAT
ALT DEFENSIVE BROKEN
LONDON, Nov. 28.—London pap
ers all admit that the backbone ol
the Rumanian resistance has been
broken by the Teutons. Falkenhayn
is admitted to be driving eastward

Anything In the line of Job wort:
WILSON WILL CALL
A SPECIAL SESSION
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 28.—
It is stated today that President
Wilson -will call a special session.
One report says that Wilson has de
clared to the party leaders that he
dislikes to lose eight months of an
opportunity to work. He is, he says,
anxious to secure comprehensive,
supplementary labor legislation and
to enlarge the powers of the Inter
state Commerce (Commission by. the
act preventing strikes.
NEW YORK,
Nov. 28.—Today
the reported statement by Wilson
that he will call a special session tc
enlarge the powers of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, looking to
wards that body being endowed with
compulsory powers towards the pre
vention of strikes is alarming labor
considerably.
The position taken by Wilson, it
is alleged by one of the most promi
nent organizers in this city, is whol
ly and fundamentally wrong. In fact
it is a return to compulsory servi
tude.
WASHINGTON D. C., Nov. 28.—
The leaders of the American Federa
tion of Labor are wholly non-com
mittal on the matter of tho proposed
strike legislation. That it is unpo
pular is very evident from the atti
tude of subordinates when ap
proached on the matter.
Wilson is making ready for a big
break with union labor, is one re
port.

PEACE EFFORTS SET THE
CAPITALS DISCUSSING IT
BERLIN, Nov. 27-28.—Peace re
ports contained in almost all dis
patches from America are uncen
sored. Nothing is officially admit
ted concerning them here. It is
not believed that Germany has
made any move in the matter and
the general denial by officials that
they have is undoubtedly taken to
mean exactly as they say. It is not
for Germany to get busy concerning
peace.
THE HAGUE, Nov. 27-28.—The
peace talk that is coming over from
the American side is not believed
to be any way founded upon fact.
The official report that Gerara
brings the final note of Lansing in
the matter of submarine questions
now arising between Germany and
the United States is not calculated
to make him a very proficient dove
of peace.
LONDON, Nov. 27-28.—The Dailj
News this morning semi-officially
denies that the British government
has been sounded upon the attitude
of the government towards peace
proposals. The general newspaper
comment makes little of this state
ment, concurring that the British
position on the peace question is
very well known to Ambassador
Page.
VIENNA, Nov. 27-28.—The peace
activities of Pope Benedict have be
fore those of any other national or
religious leader received attention
from the Austrian government.
Peace is always desired here.

NO SIGN ANY STOP
IN WAR PREPARATIONS
I
LONDON, Nov. 27-28.—There is
no sign in this country that an
early peace is anticipated. The gov
ernment is making arrangements for
full 1917 and 1918 deliveries of war
LOCAL ITEMS.
It is stated that it is the inten
tion of many to leave for Dime or
i Marshal as 'soon as advices arrive as
to winter digging in both those
camps. Many Nomeites are interest
ed in bench ground directly or in
directly at Jlime creek and a word
as to how things are looking there
is awaited before they start off for
the Koyuk camp. At least. a halt
a dozen well known miners are
thus waiting.
•• • • •
Very important efforts are being
made by one firm of well known
miners to locate concentrated pay
on jthe beach line, "somewhere on
Sunset creek". The owners ot
ground that runs all the way from
thei low tundra to the foothills will
this winter sink a line of shafts
from the lowest section of the coun
try to the foothills at regular inter
vals in the hope of encountering
the pay. Drifting will be carried on
from the bottom of each shaft to
the next one higher -up,, so that a
regular tunnel will be mined from
the lowest claim to the hills. In this
way, it is rightly concluded, that it
thqre.ls beach there it will be found,
and if there is beach pay also it will
not be overlooked.
munitions. Increased naval expend
itures which are being undertaken
indicate every belief that the war
will be prolonged.
The position taken by the enlist
ment officials and those in charge ot
army drafts looks towards a re
placement of losses annually fOT
three more years at the same rate
of losses which occurred on the
Somme and elsewhere this Autumn.
The same growing military pre
parations are in evidence, and this
fall the preparations are just as
much more gigantic than last year
as were those of 1916 over those ot
1914.
Government officials who leave
the peace or war talk almost ex
clusively to Secretary of War George
do not let the people get verj? en
couraging talk from him. George
today is just as Insistent in the war
being "fought to a finish” aB twelve
months ago.

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 27-28.— It
Is believed that peace is much near
er than the talk of the various belli
gerent capitals would lead one to
believe.
The Russians inactivity at the
present time is believed to be due
to the fact that Petrograd has about
made up its mind that peace is bet
ter suited to its plans than war just
now.
