ube Serbians Repulse Attack.
Indications point to the probability
that two great flanking operations
are in progress on the Rumanian
front. One apparently is intended by
the Russians to save the Rumanian
armies - and possibly Bucharest, and
the other by the Teutonic allies to
force the evacuation of Bucharest and
cut off the troops defending it.
Having assembled a huge force
along the range of the lower Carpa
thians, the Russians are pressing a
great offensive on a front of approxi
mately 250 miles. Already they are
declared to have scored such suc
cesses as to lead to the expectation
that the supply line of General von
nia from the north, may be seriously
menaced.'
The threat to the Rumanian forces
comes from Field Marshal von Mack
ensen, on the southeast. Controlling

the "gates" during the . summer, in
return for reduced prices of adminis

Whereas the majority of the press
at first greeted this news as "alto
gether satisfactory," a portion of the
papers, after thinking it over, have de
cided that it is "altogether disgrace
ful" to discover that so large a num
ber of people obviously unpatriotically
abstained from turning in their gold
until induced to do so In order to buy
amusement a a little more cheaply.

A violent attack was made last night

had been repulsed.

Berlin, Dec. 2. (By wireless to Say-

Allied government subsidies for the

Public subscriptions, in kind and In

of which pie United States gave about
35 per cent., and the British Empire
nearly all the rest.

ager. Your best policy is to get every
subscription possible, and then some
impossible ones. Grab every one that
is loose at both ends and not nailed
down in the middle.
Do not overlook a single opportu
nity to get a subscription. Do not fail
to see each friend that has shown a
willingness to help you. Tell your
friends that every yearly subscrip
tion if new will count 8,100 votes and
if old 2,700 votes.
Do not forget that pew subscrip
tions count just three times as many
votes, as the old subscriptions, but get
every bne you possibly caiThetbet''";
new or old. Eyery subscription, pay
ment for one dollar and twenty-five
cents or more will give you a certain
number of votes.
In adition to this every fifteen dol
lars' worth of subscription will give
you 150,000 extra votes if turned in
by December 22.
There is no need of you failing to
win one of the prizes if you exert
a little effort. Your personal appea
will have a magical effect. Your dash;
of enthusiasm will win votes against
the pessimism of the less active.
As the contest does not close until
January 29 there is still plenty of
time for anyone to enter and win.
Time is flying, however, and every
one who is in the race or in thinking
of entering, should "Make hay while
the sun shines." Work now getting
subscriptions and votes, and not think
when the contest is over that If you
had put forth a little- effort you would
have won one of the automobiles or
one of the other prizes.
"There Is a tide in the affairs of all .
men which, taken at the flood, leads
on to fortune." This is Just a little
quotation from one of the old writ
ers, but how true it is! This is your
"tide." Make the "flood" of ballot
be your fortune. Act now and you,
will never regret it! By not entering
the contest some of you will hear the
winners telling how easily they got
an automobile and you will be sorry
that you did not try.
A few who have been mentioned
seem to think that they are either too
good to enter the contest or have not
the time, when if the truth were real
ly know, they lack the ambition to
try.
Contestants in asking for subscrip
tions will not be asking for donations.
Each dollar spent will be returned a
hundredfold In news. It will be an in
vestment, not an expense.
The least ambitious people can
think of forty-nine reasons why they
have no chance to win one of the
prizes but there really isn't a single
one except their own laziness.
The people who hate to work the ,
wprst can always think of the best ;
reasons why they should not work.
They think of forty-nine reasons why
they should not try why they have
no chance. They are fatalists. -
In contests such as The Dispatch
is running there is nothing in the
world that affords better insight Into
human nature. All the strength of
character and the fool side of human
nature stands out in bold relief. .It's
funny, but it's so.
There is not a reason in the world
why anyone cannot win one of the
automobiles, building lot) $100 in gold -or
one of the other prizes. Nothing
