Mackensen's Forces Have Captured the Town of Tzomana, Sixteen Miles South of the Capital, While FalkenhayiL's Men Are Draw ing Closer In Frdm the West and Northwest Russian Offensive Offers Little Impediment. Berlin, Nov. 30 (via Sayville). The Rumanian defensive positions in the mountain district east of the Alt river now are more and more under the increasing pressure of General Von Falkenhayn's ad vancing army, says the Overseas Kews Agency. After the victory near Tigeni, on November 26, the fate of the long-defended position at Curtca de Arges was doomed, and there the monument of the late Kin Carol, of Rumania, fell into the possession of General Von Fal kenhavn. In southern Wallachia, General von Mackensen's armies' i m i i.: are advancing lrresisuoiy, uouuu ues the Overseas Agency, while in Dobradja the Bulgarians, together with Turkish artillery, repulsed Bussian attacks. . Exodus of Civilians. Bucharest is declared to .be changing into a war camp. Half the population already has left the Rumanian capital, according to reports published by the Swiss newspaper, the Berne Bund. " General Berthelot. . the French mili tary strategist with the Rumanian ar my, and the chief of police , of Buchar est, are reported by the Lokal Anzelger to have issued art order directing the majority of the population of the. capi tal, especially women and children, to leave the precincts of the fortress at Bucharest within five days. The' rail road running to Gaiatz and Jassy is declared to be taxed beyond its capacity and additional travel to those cities is not permitted. Food Reported Confiscated. All persons remaining in Bucharest will be employed for military and san itary duty and from November 29. all food supplies are reported to have been taken under the control of the military officers to be dealt to the public daily. According to this report, every inhab itant more than 16 years old, must re port at military headquarters where a decision is given as to how long they may remain in Bucharest. The forces of Field Marshal Von Mackensen are almost wittiin shelling distance of the southern forts which protect Bucharest, the capital of Ru mania. Driving along the railroad leading north from Giurgiu, Von Mack ensen has captured the town of Tzom ana. 16 miles south of Bucharest, and at last accounts was still making progress toward his objective. Meanwhile, tne army of General Von Falkenhayn is keeping up its pressure against the Rumanians west and north west of the capital, in the center hav ing forced the Rumanians to fall back to Glavatziotzu. 37 miles from Buchar est ,and farther north, having captured the town of Campulung, thus opening the way for the unhindered advance of additional troops of the Central Powers through the Torzburg Pass into Walla chia. The offensive begun by the Russians in the region of Kirlibaba apparently is not impeding to any extent the Teuton ic inroads into Rumania. Additional gains are conceded to the Russians in this region, but again it is assured that they have been dearly paid for in casualties. The Rumanians on the north and northwest fronts have made progress in the Buzeu and PhahoVa val leys. . - In none of the other theatres has there been any fighting of great inten sity so far as the official reports show. The big guns of the belligerents on the front in France and Belgium are still active at various points. The only in fantry engagement reported was near Ypres, where in an attack on a two miles front, the British were repulsed, according to Berlin. Both Berlin and Sofia record the repulse of Entente Allied attacks in the region of Monaff tir, Serbia, where rain and fog are hindering the operations. In the Russian theatre, Turkish troops have stopped strong Russian at tacks on the Zlota Lipa river in Gali cia. The much discussed bill providing for compulsory service of civilians for war service in Germany, known as the "man power bill," has been introduced in the Reichstag. In- introducing it, Chan cellor von Bethman Hollweg again re iterated that Germany . was ready to end the war by a peace guaranteeing the existence and future of the German nation.

Military rule has been proclaimed in Santo Domingo by the United States Navy to suppress existing political chaos in the little re public and pave the way for guaran teeing future quiet by establishing there such a financial and political pro tectorate as the American government now exercises over Haiti. Eighteen hundred marines will maintain order for the present and at least until elec tions are held in January, their officers will supervise the conduct of govern ment by native officials and disburse the customs revenues which American receivers have been collecting by trea ty arrangement for nine years. Proclamation Well Received. The Navy proclamation issued yes terday, apparently has been put into i effect without bloodshed. It was an nounced here today by Secretary Dan iels in the following statement: Capt. H. S. Knapp, In command oi the United States forces in San Domin go, reports that in compliance with In structions received, military govern ment was proclaimed by him in San Do mingo 4 P. M., November 29. An order prohibiting carrying, or having In pos session, arms has been put in .errect. Payment of salaries of government offl--cials will be resumed immediately." The proclamation was well received. Conditions are reported as being nor mal and the great majority of the peo ple regard the proclamation with favor. Captain Knapp's 'action was the re sult of plans carefully worked out by State and Navy Department officials after conferences with Minister Rus sell, recalled from Santo Domnigo for the purpose, and consideration of re ports from naval officers on the scene. Nor Infringement on Rights. The necessity for a drastic step has been considered since the overthrow, several months ago, of President Jimi nez by General Arias, a strongly anti American revolutionist. With Arias In control the Dominican assembly elected Frederico Enriques president,' but the United States refused to recognize the new government and withheld the bal ance of customs . revenues left after payments of interest on the foreign debt. Consequently the native officials and employes now will draw their first pay since the downfall of Jimlnez. Secretary Daniels " explained today that the form of rule set up by Captain Knapp did not contemplate any inT fringement of . the civil rights or pro cesses of the native government. The municipal and civil laws will still be adminisiered by Dominican courts. To tA.sk Ratification of Treaty. Upon .the election, of a president by the assembly to be chosen in January, the Uni'ted States will ask for the rati fication of the treaty, similar to that now in forcev with Haiti, providing for (Continued on Page Two). - (Special Star Telegram.) Raleigh, N. C, Nov. 30. In his an nual address to the North Carolina Teachers' Assembly tonight, President R. H.

The Legislature, he in sisted, must pass an enabling act and standardize the teaching and bring in to unification and co-ordination the ru ral arrd city graded schools.

SOUTHERN TRAIN CRASHES INTO FREIGHT NEAR ELMWOOD Berlin, Nov. 30. (via Sayville) Chan cellor von Bethmann Hollweg, in an address to the Reichstag yesterday, in troducing the man-power bill, again announced that Germany was ready to end the war by a peace guaranteeing the existence and future of the nation. In presenting the bill providing for compulsory service of civilians for war purposes, the chancellor spoke in re gard to the military situation and the purposes of the measure. "The war continues, with its destruc tive forces," the chancellor said. "Ac cordingly our enemies desire it. They celebrated the past summer as a period of victory. But did tney obtain what they wanted? Our lines are unbroken, and Rumania, through which a great change of events was expected, is now atoning for what she did. God has helped us up to the present. He will help us further. "The almost superhuman heroism of our troops, which, cannot be expressed in words of thanks, and our clear con science since we, the first and only ones, we're ready and are ready to end the war by a peace ' guaranteeing our kxterettefrvftnd- trurrBh- gry fr Ji moral right to subh confidence. But, gentlemen, this right ought not to make us. for get duty- ,Qur enemies do not yet desire peace. They have su perior numbers at their command and almost -the' whole wOrid delivers war material to the'm"."" . The chancellqr . urged the necessity to do everything in Germany's power in order to manufacture the necessary war material, saying: "Hands that are idle assist the ene my." "On behalf of the confederate gov ernments," the chancellor' continued, "I ask you to assist ih the work which will, bring us, new strength and guide us toward victory and peace." Dr. Helfferich, minister of the inter ior, said: "The home army and field army in this wai join hands for an indissolu ble union. Underneath the German soli are rich treasures, ' but they must be lifted to the daylight." Dr. Helfferich then quoted a German song, which a century ago during the war of deliverance, inspired the German troops "The Lord who made iron to grow wants no slaves.". "This is as truejtoday as it was a century ago, as it always will be," said the minister. "This is a war carried on, not only with arms, but it is an economic war of nations. England, which always speaks of protecting neu trals, has by her interference with mails, spying system and black lists cut off necessary imports from them and has caused them more damage than ever an enemy could do. "In this economic' war we, together with our allies, stand in all essential things alone. Our enemies can contin ue to irrioort from across the seas. England, as Mer chancellor of the ex chequer has stated, has thus bought every week to the amount of 12.00Q.000 pounds, which is twelve thousand mil lion marks a year. France during ten months paid for the same purpose twelve thousand million francs. Half the world is at our enemies' disposal. "We have no trans-Atlantic imports; we must rely upon ourown work and must produce what we need by our own work. The earth yields what we need for food. But we must work and once more have peace. This law mobil izes work; it does not begin, but com pletes the mobilization work." Richmond, Va., Nov. 30. The University of North Carolina elev en this afternoon defeated the Uni versity of Virginia team, 7 to 0, for the first time since 1905, Fol ger dashing 52 yards through the Virginia eleven for a touchdown, and Captain Tandy kicking goal. The. game was won in the pres ence of a crowd estimated at 14, 000, and composed of the alumni and students of the two universi ties, as well as persons prominent in official and social life through both North Carolina and Virginia.' Carolina was led in a snake dance by its student band, after the game was through, over the field, and later in a march through the prin cipal streets of the city. Folgerr Outstanding Feature. i-'Foi-iothL." j??; toofbffiflno; game left much to be desired. Folger's work was the outstanding feature. He was taken from the game during the latter part of the final period as a re sult of an injury and after he begqin showing effects of overwork. Up to that time he had been the principal ground gainer for the victors and had aided them materially with his punt ing.' Coleman, who succeeded him, also punted well and ran riot through the Virginia .line. . ..Captain Tandy, and Ramsay, playing their last game, of college football, played excellently. Virginia in Poor Form. Virginia displayed the poor form she has manifested throughput the present season. Thurman was a disappointment to many, his punting being handicap ped by the fact that he found it neces sary to face a strong wind most of th time. Gooch found it possible to. make the best gains for Virginia and C White also made several runs for fair distances. Virginia showed proficiency in the use of the forward pass and worked several for a total gain of 48 yards. . Score Made In Third Period. Carolina had played the opening per iod for the most part in Virginia terri tory. Folger scored In tne third period. He started through tackle and, throw ing off mart" after man dashed up the side line and across the goal, Thurman and Kilsoving missing tackles 20 yards from the goal.

The announce ment was made today that a New York syndicate, headed by Mark W. Potter, president of the Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio railroad, had bought a tract of 45, 000 acres of swamp land near Belhaven, N. C, from the John L. Roper Lumber Company. The tract .which has been practically cleared of timber, is to be turned into farms and stock raising ranges by reclamation project planned by. the purchasers. It is said to be as rich as any soil in the world. J. H.

"There -is a- so-called cold storage trust," Mr. Haftigan said. "Its mem bership comprises 75 cold storage warehouses in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. It is believed that to evade the laws of the various states.it is made easy for the owner of goods in "one cold storage warehouse tohold hjs goods In' one state, until just before the time expires for the goods to be re leased arid then to move them to a warehouse in another state and keep them there as' long as the law allows in that other state.
