PETROGRAD, Dec. 1.—A Bucha
rest wireless announces that the
Teutons have captured Taomani, six
teen miles south of Bucharest.
BERLIN, Dec. 1.—Falkenhayn is
pressing the Rumanians on the Alu
ta river where the fighting is bitter
and violent. Notwithstanding the
certainty that Mackenzen will gain
the capital of Rumania, the troops
of the latter are offering a very
dogged resistance to Falkenhayn.
The battling which is proceeding
from Petra to Rieskha is savage be
yond words as the Teutons are try
ing to press across the river and
keep control of the roads to the Ru
manian capital. Mackenzen’s ad
vance is irresistible.
LONDON, Dec. 1.—The apparent
ly formless but heavy opposition
which the Rumanian troops are off
ering to the Teuton advance is being
commented upon by the experts.
There is not the slightest sign of
strategical knowledge or military
tactics shown in any way, and it Is
not impossible that the clever Teu
ton leaders may capture the entire
forces which are now struggling so
desperately west of the capital.
Mackenzen’s force will not linger
long at Bucharest, but will evidenly
proceed to encircle the Rumanian
forces so that all retreat will be cut
off.
BUCHAREST, Dec. 1.—The Ger
man shells are flying and exploding
in all directions around the capital,
although there is no defending force
held there.
EAGLES TAKE NOTICE.
The Annual Election of Officers for
the ensuing term will be held on next
Tuesday night, Dec. 5, 1916.

TH CREEKS NOW
••w >
LONDON, Dec. 1.—Greece has de
finitely refused the demands which
Admiral Du Fournet has made of
the Constantine ministers.
ATHENS, Dec. 1.—There is a
growing anxiety throughout Greece
over the complications which are
likely to follow a refusal of the de
mands of the Entente Alllies. Under
orders of the Minister of War, the
deck garrison has
land. Two regiments of artillery
have left, but nine thousand reserv
ists are strolling through the streets
and are decidedly hostile to the Al
lies.
PARIS, Dec. 1.—This evening Du
Fournet wires that he is confident
that he will gain the demands made
of the Greek government. He is now
landing large detachments and pow
erful artillery, besides which the
warships are within easy distance oi
the capital.
AJTHENS. .•rf'etwl.—The state of
Greece not being self supporting as
far as food is concerned, there is
considerable concern felt lest the Al
lies -hold up food shipments. Coal
also is scarce, but that could be
done without for some time at least.
LONDON, Dec. 1.—It is believed
that the Teuton victories in Ruman
ia are responsible for the refusal of
the Greek ministers to accede to
the Allies’ demands.

action of the Board of Trade in
taking over the South Wales coal
mines is meeting with firm and de

FUNERAL FOR
READ EMPEROR
. .VIENNA, Dec. 1.—The emperor’s
funeral took place at 2:30 this after
non and was a most elaborate fun
eral pageant. The Imperial Guard
acted as the chief regimental escort,
while troops and spectators lined all
the way from the Church to the Pa
lace and from the Palace to the Ca
puchin crypt where the departed
emperor is finally laid to rest.
Cardinal Piffle and not less than
seventy Roman Catholic clergy con
ducted the >jry elaborate services
in the church and at the tomb, while
visiting friendly potentates from all
over the world attended in all their
robes of honor.
The scene was tremendously im
pressive while every effort was made
to lend the funeral procession an
imperial grandeur even in its mourn
ing.
Leading the imperial mourners be
hind the coffin was the Emperor
Charles who was unattended. Be
hind him came the various members
of the Archducal families, the visit
ing representatives or personal at
tendees of neighboring rulers fol
lowed the personal relatives of the
dead sovereign, while members orf
the Austrian and Hungarian nobility
brought up the rear of the parade.
The Imperial calvacade of the
guardsmen was followed by an im
mense congress of clergy of all de
grees, wearing their robes and
miters, giving the cortege an essen
tially ecclesiastical turn.
There were no demonstrations of
any kind.

SOLONS COMING AND
TALKING OF EMBARGO
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 1.—
Solons are now coining in from
their states on every train and rea«v
to transact all business that ir'ay be
required of them. They are chiefly
discussing the matter of a food em
bargo and there is of course a v-ids
variance of opinions among th>t
members.
Fitzgerald will introduce two em
bargo measures and both aiming to
retaliate against the British black
list and to reduce the high prices
by preventing a food shortage.
Mann, the republican leader,
says that an embargo is no remedy
and might have a bad effect upon
American trade. It is not compe
tent either as a retaliatory measure
or efficient as a means of lowering
prices. He will oppose both meas
ures he thought, but had not a pro
per idea of what they were.
M’Lemore who introduced the
famous resolution which brought
such a remonstrance rrom President
Wilson, prohibiting Americans from
travelling upon alien belligerent
ships or from vessels carrying con
traband, says that he will support
any sort of an embargo. This might
however have been expected.
Wilson will not find any complete
willingness upon the part of Con
gress to force through prohibitory
and compulsory strike legislation.
While he may have made up his
mind to retire from politics, the
members of Congress have to re
member their labor constitutants.

GERARD GETS FINAL
ORDERS FROM WILSON
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 1.—
Ambassador Gerard got his final in
structions from President Wilson at
a conference held with him yester
day afternoon. He will protest
against the Belgian deportations,
while his orders in the matter of
the submarining are said to be rigid
and exclude all possible matter of
doubt. His instructions are explicit
and final.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.—Today
Lansing and Daniels joined in a
conference with Gerard. The three
men discussed their matters of
state behind closed doors at the
Gerard residence and strictly in

LOCAL ITEMS.
The Elite Hotel and Baths is now
open under new and most efficient
management that guarantees hospit
able treatment and courteous to all
who put up at this hostelry, either
for bathing or for accomodation
purposes. The place has been en
tirely refitted throughout and there
will never be any such thing as a
cold room while Messrs Anderson
and Brdoks are in charge. That
there is nothing too good for their
guests is to be the motto of the
new management which ought to
mean success.
The Eagle Shows have got a pic
turized version of one of Bruno
Lessing's wonderful ghetto stories in
The Faith of Her Fathers, a three
part drama throbbing with life,
realism and intensely dramatic situa
tions. Cleo Madison stars in the
leading part of the play which is the
story of a girl's struggle between
love and religion. It is a magni
ficent’play. The girl reporter js well
dramatized in Fate's Alibi where
Helen Leslie as a female news
gatherer delivers some funny stuff

entertainment of those who witness
It. A" dandy juvenile comedy en
titled Olive’s Pet concludes this in

sence of the Secretary of the Navy
at this conference shows that poss

He dined quietly with his family

In the evening he attended the

PETROGRAD, Nov. 30.—The
Headquarters Staff declares that the
Russian counter offensive in the
Carpathians under the most adverse
conditions imaginable have been at

successes. The Teutons are with

BERLIN. Nev. 30.—The Russian

ridiculous fizzle.

to have said that Germany is ready
for a satisfactory peace, but gives
no inkling of what will be consider

It is believed however that with

nations will feel secure in getting

BIG BATTLE ENDS VICTORY.
PARIS, Nov. 30.—The Serbs cap
tured the difficult heights northwest
of Grunishto and just east of Per

severe. The Bulgars offered a tena

LOCAL ITEMS.
The Chamber of Commerce held a
special meeting last night to con
sider the matter of steamship rates
to and from Nome. The matter was
fully discussed and measures taken
to make the Commission fully ac
quainted with the views of Alaska
shippers in this section. It appears
from the facts developed at the
meeting that the Commission had
notified the Chamber of its hearings
and giving the scope and extent of
that inquiry, announcing that they
would advise later date and place of
hearing. Since then no communica
tion has been received from the
Commission and it is presumed that
they sent the advice by mail and it
is still coming over the winter
course.
