SLAVS LEAVING DOBRUDSCHA
/
,a
GEN. MAURICE SAYS
SUSTAINED NO LOSS
I
LONDON, Jan. 4.—General Maur
ice, according to a Petrorad dispatch
reports that the Russians have eva
cuated Dobrudja, accomplishing the
task without any loss. This move
ment became imperative when the
Bulgars and Teutons pressed to
the Matchin bridgehead which had
been rigorously defended for four
weeks.
More than ever had the Macken
zen movement to the north of the
Danube made the Russian occupa
tion of Dobrudja one of extreme pe
ril and necessitated the withdraw
al of these forces.
PETROGRAD, Jan. 4.—The Teu
ton and Bulgar movements now de
veloping in the Rumanian theater
of war consist of four well defined
attacks. Two are under the direc
tion of Falkenhayn and two under
Mackenzen. The two former are
In Moldavia and on the Wallachia
border directing against the center.
Mackenzen on the north bank of the
Danube is driving up against the
Sereth while the Bulgars and Teu
tons under this Mackenzen plan on
the south of Danube are trying to
cross from Dobrudja to attack the
Russian flanks. Fighting on the
center is directed mainly against Zo
itza and the Riminik with the Ger
mans also reinforcing the Austrians
trying to flank down the Gabend
valleys. r
BERLIN, Jan. 4.—Dobrudja is
now entirely in the hands of the
Central Powers and has been turned
over to Bulgaria for civil adminis
tration during the rest of the war as
a conquered province. It is held
that it is never likely to leave Bul
garian hands again. There is great
rejoicing in this city.
CENTRAL POWERS CONFER
SOON TOGETHER VIENNA
LONDON, Jan. 4.—Newspapers
give prominence to reports of con
ferences which will be held at
Vienna and Berlin and which are to
involve important discussions of the
•war, these reports are coming from
both neutral and from Teuton sour
ces mainly from the latter.
It is stated that the Kaiser, Em
peror Charles, the King of Bulgaria,
the Sultan of Turkey will meet at
Vienna to discuss the future policy
of the war or peace. It is officially
announced, according to a Berlin
dispatch coming via The Hague, that
the foreign ministers of the Central
powers and allies, together with the
heads of parliaments will meet in
Berlin on January 19th.
The British press considers that
this will be the occasion of a general
review of the war situation and it
may possibly result in the Teuton
nations coming to the conclusion of
either abandoning all peace talk or
alse naming specific terms upon
which peace will be made. It is ad
mitted that there is not much hope
of peace proposals being being con
sidered unless the powers making
them name terms which will form
the basis for negotiations.
It is reported from the same sour
ces. that the publication of the al
lies agreement to turn over Constan
tinople to Russia is viewed with
great concern by the Turks who fear
that even after this war the entente
nations may not abandon their de
signs. There is again an agitation
for working for a separate peace
with Russia.

the plea was surprising. Secretary [
Lane who headed the conference
was immediately sent for and the
administration is now considering
the Carranza plea.
Carranza says that he believes that
there is a more urgent need than Is
generally appreciated of a protocol
fixing the date definitely of the stay
of troops in Mexico. *
Inasmuch as the administration
had about resolved to withdraw the
American troops the Carranza ap
peal is like a covert invitation to

south of the Rio Grande.
The request will probably be acced
ed to, if feasible in this instance.

ADAMSON HAS ALSO
NEW STRIKE MEASURE
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 4.—
Adamson, the now famous author of
the railroad eight hour law confer
red today with President Wilson
over the railroad situation and after
coming from this consultation he an
nounced that he would immediately
introduce bills to prevent railroad
strikes without sixty days notice and
which would empower the President
to declare a national emergency and
to place the railroads under military
control in the event of a strike.
It is declared that Adamson is to
embody the Wilson ideas of strike
legislation in his law.
The announcement of a complete
and drastic prussianization of tell
railroad labor world is being met
with almsot incredulous astonish
ment by the railroaders who have
been expecting nothing all so sweep
ing in the way of legislation.
This is much more serious than
the compulsory arbitration measure,
say the railroad men, as it practical
ly prohibits the men from striking
at all, and leaves them at the abso
lute mercy of a dictator in the
White House or in the War Depart
ment. It compels them to serve as
part of the national forces and they
may be drafted for service indefin

WILSON WILL MAKE A
NEW MOVE IF FAILS
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 4.—
It is stated as substantially correct
that if the Entente reply to the
United States note should not be
satisfactory and failed to meet the
Wilson requirements, it is ' certain
that Wilson will make anothe#
move.
Wilson, it is further stated, is un
concerned at the attempts which pa
pers are making to see the reply to
his note practically embodied in the
terms of the reply oi the Entente to
the German peace proposals. He in
sists that the two are quite separate
and distinct. Wilson said, possibly
in view of the rather severe criti
cism to which his acts have been
subjected In the debate on the Hitch
cock resolution in the Senate, that
he felt certain that his position
would be ultimately very well under
stood.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 4.—
An important communication is said
to have been received by the State
Department from Paris today. One
report has it that the communica
tion asks for some more light on the
Wilson note. This is probably quite
wrong.
Advices from Europe do not indi
cate when the Entente will reply to
the Wilson note although everyone
here is confident that it will be re
ceived before the end of the present
week. It is being looked forward
to with considerable expectancy and
some hope.

given an airing in court while many
of the talesmen shrank uneasily in

Yesterday the wind proved mobile
enough. It veered round from the
north to the west and then for a
while about midday to the south,
returning to the north after a spell
from the east at three or four
o’clock. But although the wind
changed there was no change in the
temperature. Every other man you
meet says that there will be no
change until “the change of the
jnoon”, a favorite idea with a num
ber of the weatherwise. One man
expressed the wish to be placed
alongside the man who foretold that
this would be a mild winter, and he
collapsed when told that this sooth
sayer had gone outside.

definite progress, six jurors qualify

Meantime outside the case, ‘Dis
trict Attorney Fickert is carrying on
a campaign of prejudice against
the defendant on a wholesale scale,
and today made the claim to news
paper men that the defendant
Mooney was an associate of Alex
ander Berkman the anarchist editor
of a local paper, when Berkman
many years ago attempted the ass
assination of Henry Frick following
the (Homestead strike and riots.
This is following the policy pursu

tended that Billings was at the Hay

in the Examiner and other papers
and even when the Billings at
torneys pointed out the absurdity of
the story, was not contradicted.
The same effort to prejudice the
case against Mooney is very much in
evidence in practically all the papers
here.
AT THE DREAM.

The cast includes Miss Helen Eddy,

deals with a young girls fortune and
the greed and avarice of an un
scropulous relative. The plot and
