HICKORY (By Associated Press.) The Hague, Netherlands, Nov. 29. Only two lives, those of the reign ing queen and of her severt-year-old daughter, Princess Juliana, bar the way in the natural order of things to the accession of the throne of the Netherlands of a German prince. It is true that, so far as health and age are concerned, those lives may be described as "first class," but the potential slenderness . of the thread i was illustrated, not long, ago m tne Hague woods, where the royal au- tomobile carrying Queen Wtflnelmina and the little Princess was the vic tim of a collision that might under i less fortunate circumstances have cost the lives of both.

The situation of the Rumanian ar mies defending Bucharest appears to be more critical. Only to the northwest of the cap ital do the Rumanian armies appear to be holding firmly, but even here the capture of Curtea de Arges on the Argechu river, abnough " that point is 80 miles distant from Buch arest, seems la indicate a weakening of the resistance. On the south west the peril is imminent, with the enveloping forces within forty miles of the capital. jNews dispatches report the Ru manian government officials leaving Bucharest for Jassy, 200 miles north east of the capital, toward.? the Rus sian border. That the retreat of the Rumanians is a precipitate one is indicated by the German official statement today which announces a retirement of the Rumanian forces all along the Wallachian frontier. Possibly as a diversion in ai l of the Rumanians, the Russians have taken the offensive in the Carpath ians. Petrograd reports the attacks there netted them several ridges. Ber lin declares that Russian attacks de livered at many places along the Carpathian and western Moldavian fronts resulted only in local success es.
