With armies of the Teutonic allies advancing toward it both from -he 'west and the southwest. Buch- .t, the capital of Rumania, apparently Is in peril. Field Marshal von Mack ensen'a troops have crossed the Dan ube from Bulgarian territory to Zini tza and are in touch near Alexandria. 47 miles southwest of Bucharest, forces of Central von Falkenhayn's army from Craiova. All along the front on the Wallachian plains east of the Alt river the Rumanians are In flight, burning towns behind them says Berlin. To the north on the heights of Cur-tea-Dearges. In the region of Daro slavele, northeast of Kimpolung, and !n western Moldavia, near Oituz, the Rumanians are offering strong resis tance to the southward advance of the Teutons. On all these sectors attempts by the Austro- Germans to advance have been held bark by the Rumanians. As yet there has been no indica tion of the arrival of Russian rein forcements to aid the Roumanians on the Wallachian plains, but the Rusro- Rumanian troops in Dobrudja are ac tive, possibly in an endeavor to push back the invaders to the Tcherna- voda-Constanza railway. S-ofia re ports that this reinforced army in tended a general attack along the en tire front but has been compelled to confine itself to partial attacks. In the Macedonian threatre bad weather prevails and there baa been no infantry action except on the left wing of the entente allied line, where the Italians have made further prog ress toward Trnova, near Monastlr Presba lake road, according to Paris, This statement as regards the gain is contradicted by the Sofia war office, which says an Italian attack here was repulsed and that the attackers iusi u niiKf quaintly vi r iiiuieriain, Sofia also denies a recent French re port that the French had captured the town of Dobromir, saying the Bulgarians are fully ia control there. The French front also is experlenc Ins another spell of inclement weath er, and except for small attacks at various points, little activity has been displayed by either Bide. There has been considerable artil lory lighting along the eastern front at various places from the Riga re gion to the Carpathians, , with V the Germans the aggressors and also on the Austro-Italian front, with the Austrian on the Initiative. EMPKItOK MAY HELP PEACE Reason to Believe That Subject Will lie Discussed t Funeral of Old Monarch. Vienna Dispatch, Nov. 25. That the death of the aged Em peror Francis Joseph, and the change of Emperors in Austria-Hungary where the war began, may be a new phychologlcal moment not unfavora ble, perhaps even favorable in Its in fluence on the situation for peace, was the opinion expressed to me to day in unofficial but highly Influential circles. The aged Emperor, I am told by persons in close contact with his en tourage, had often, especially lately, expressed the hope that he would live to see peace restored, for the preser vation of which he had always striven. First Task of Charles. His unfulfilled hope, the aged Em peror said must be considered by the young Emperor as his first and highest task. In his first proclamation to his peo ple, Charles I. promises to do all he can to bring peace as soon as possi ble, under conditions consistent with the honor and interest of the dual Monarchy. This is taken as a hope ful sign by the people generally. Little Is actually known of the new Emperor's views, or what policy he will follow, but all who have had the opportunity to know him personally are emphatic in the assertion that v Is not of warlike character, but, on the contrary, of the typical genial sunny Austrian temperament and that his most ardent wish Is to see peace restored. A new ruler In one of the countries Involved In war, and In the coun try where the war began, but who had nothing to do with the begin ning of the war, Is regarded by many as a new favorable factor to peace. It is not Improbable, perhaps even quite appropriate, that, at the coming reunion of the rulers of all the cen tral powers, with the exception of Turkey, which will send & special mis slon at the funeral of Francis Joseph, occasion will be taken to discuss peace among themselves, as viewed from the side of the central powers. Needed Everywhere. A Law and Order League of Auto mobile Owners has been organized In New York City for the principal pur pose of preventing abuses of the privilege of the road. This body will acquaint its members with the laws and ordinances relating to motoring, .111 Itiaftlll Inln hAtil Iha Aittv nf driving with caution, and will first fine, and later expel, those who neg lect r refuse to obey its rules.

TlUX laiGH VPOX DEFIANT K(J(i MAX Chicago Official Raids Storage and Hold .Millions of Egg" For In SpCCtioll, Chicago Dispatch. Nov. 25. While James E. Wentz. egg king, was ridiculing, the public and laugh tng at tegal attempts to make him give up 72 000,000 eggs. Health Commissioner Robertson with fifty men raided half a dozen cold storage plants to inspect eggs or hold them for Inspection. Under a city ordinance eggs can be held In cold storage ten months. At the Monarch plant 90,000.000 eggs were found. One-third of them, owned by Wentz, were stored last April. At the Chicago Cold Storage Campany 75,000,000 eggs were found, mostly owned by Wentz. Some of these went In as early as March 21. The Health Commission er held the epgs In both plants "for Inspection." Investigation shows that many millions of eggs, including those of Wentz, were stored in March end April. "Wentz will be obliged to throw these on the market by Jan 21," said Commissioner Robertson, "and my advice to the people is to quit using eggs until he begins to market them." "I am Interested In assuring good eggs for every housewi.e," said the Commissioner. "I Intend to see that each dozen purchased contains twelve good eggs, Instead of ten or eleven, as is often the case." Three other plants were visited and the eggs held for Inspection. Dr. Robertson said he was convinced that many bad eggs are in some storage houses. He is empowered under the law to destroy all unsound eggs. Waxhaw News. Correspondence of The Journal.

( hamlter of Commerce' Xews. By II. Y. Scott. A meeting of the directors of the Chamber of Commerce was held In the Association roonu last Thursday night, and much important work was brought up and passed upon by the board. The Chamber Is very anxious to get an appropriate tlcgan to u-e on It fiiitionery ts well a in all adve"iso- ment. and J.c directors nmlio.Ue.t the secretary to offer a cash prize of $3.00 for the ucU slogan received. The contest closes December 15th. All communications in regard to slo gan should be sent to the secretary and the prize will be awarded by the board of directors not later than the 20th, so that the lucky one can have the money for Christmas. Mr. T. G. Walton, superintendent Seaboard Air Line Railway, was in Monroe for a short time last Saturday afternoon, and met a committee com posed of Messrs. Sikes, Carpenter and Secretary Scott. The needs of bet ter facilities were gone iato with Mr. Walton, but cn account of the limi ted time he was in the city he could not make a thorough investigation with the committee as to what was best needed, bt't he promised to make U3 another vl 'i within ten days and remain with '.is long enough to go over the eniiie MuiMlcn. Mr. Wal ton seems t luv" the in':,-"8t of Monroe at heart und i rui.iiscd the committee that the Seaboard could be expected to do the right thing. The secretary impressed upon Mr. Walton the Importance of his line building a new and up to date cotton platform and the Chamber feels that when cotton begins to move next year Monroe will have all that could be desired in the way of an up to date platform. The Directors seem to think that the Charlotte papers do not give us enough space in their papers, as com pared to other cities located in North Carolina, and the Secretary was In structed to visit Charlotte and have a conference with the different editors and endeavor to remedy the matter, The Secretary desires to impress upon the public the Importance of "early Christmas buying." Nothing is gained by waiting until the hint minute. The stores are now crowded with fresh Xnnis bargains and the assortment is greater now than it will be tnas eve. The. Chamber Is working hard to bring new Industries to Monroe and has at present several lines out and hopes to be able to announce in the near futuro that they have secured a new factory for Monroe. What we need is more pay rolls, and we are not going to sleep until we get them The Medical Association which meets next week was offered the use of the Association rooms, which offer was accepted. The Chamber pro poses to give the visiting doctors an automobile ride, and the Secretary will call on the owners of machines in the city and a.ik that they lend same for an hour or two next week. i Notice. The compulsory school attendance law Is now in force and it Is our earnest desire that parents will exert every effort to send their children to school regularly. Boys and girls cannot be educated and have their appropriate chance in life unless they are put in school and kept there every day. Teachers, school committee men, parents and all good citizens generally are asked to heartily co operate in complying with the law by getting the children in school all over the county. We want to make this year the best we have ever known. Our enrollment and average attendance must be greater than ever before. Our teachers will all do the very best they can for your children but they cannot help them unless you keep them in school regularly Respectfully, R. N. NISBET, County Supt.

They are very prcud of the discovery, as they have hern digging and looking for it for twelve months. It was a half Inch pipe which had been turned into the waste instead of the resorvolr. The cost of pumping water through a half Inch pipe per month Is $226. !. This much watr has been going out into a wast pipe for six years, owing to a mistake In judgment when the cooling system was put in. The plpt has been throwing away more than three quarters of a million gallons of water ever month. The actual cost of pumping this water was more than sixteen thousand dollars and its retail price at current rates wad lucre than twenty-seven thousand. . It has been wasting enough each month to meet the entire pay roll of the power house force. Mr. Lee and his helpers are constantly on the look out lor waste, hut this Is their most Import ant find. They knew the water whs wasting but it was a Job to find the secret. Europe' Peace Desire ! , m'4 U. S Ot'llclnls. Washington Dispatch. Nov. 25. Administration officials expressed satisfaction today over the fact that officials of Great Britain, France and Germany have formully gone on rec ord in favor of a world-wide league to enforce peace, after the close of the present war. The communications on this sub ject were from Viscount Grey Pre ni I or Briand and Chancellor von Bethmatin-Hollweg, read last night at the New loik banquet of the league to Enforce Peace, were the subject of discussion In official and diplomatic circles here today. Officials of the Administration long have been convinced that such a league must be organized by the nations of the world. It was with this end in view that President Wll son approved the Naval Increase Bill passed last Fession, with a provision authorizing him to call a conference of nations for the purpose of form ing an alliance for the maintenance of peace among the nations. Thanksgiving. Let us think of days gene by, Say two hundred years or more, Or the little ship that landed On that wild New England shore. See the Pilgrims, they are waiting For the day of prayer and fasting, W hat do they Bee? "A ship," they cry. So thus their prayer Is answered God had sent a boundless plenty On that last Thursday In November. And with Thanksgiving hearts the Pilgrims Turned from fasting to Thanksgiving, And now the harvest ripens With the rich and golden grain. Let our hearts be truly Thankful For the blessings that it brings. Blondell Curlee. ' Sure He Out of Politics. When former President Taft visit ed Chicago some time ago he declar ed that Chicago had furnlnhed evl dence that fully convinced him that he is no longer In politics. "I walk ed four blocks through the down town streets" he said "and made one purchase In a store without anyone apparently recocnizine me." THRIST HA BY IV IIKK ARMS Anil Xou Mrs. Miller, Who H.in Plen ty of Her Own, Is lMkint; For Mother. A.-heville Dispatch. Nv- 26. Mrs. W. L. Miller, who lives mar Hendersonville has a perfectly good baby boy, about eijrht months of ace, whose mother the is anxiou-iy sesk ing. The baby ! a beauty but Mrs. Miller has plenty of children of her own. and does not de ;ir'e to keep the latent addition to the family which came to her via a trick that ha:; been worked for lo these n.any year?. Mrs. Miller w'as standing in a Btore at Hendersonville yesterday when a well dressed young woman ap proached and asked her to hold the baby for a few minutes. Tlio young woman then disappeared, and failed to return. After holding the baby for sometime beyond the allotcd few minutes, Mrs. Miller started rn in vestigation, and found that n suit case of baby clothe.;, and sonic baby's tood had been left for her, together with a note Muting that she was known to bea good Christian mother and had been puked for a frrdian to the little stranper on that ac count. The note explained that the baby's name is Albert Lee Ray and asked Mrs. Miller to be good ta him. The police were notified and are searching for the mother of the baby, but so far without success. Mr. Benton Believes Like Andrew Jackson. I don't think I am one who com plains where no ground for complaint exist but I think I voice the senti ment of all Democrats of Monroe and Union county when I complain of conditions existing in the post- office here and the rural routes run ning out from this office. I have no ill feeling toward any of them, they are my friends, or ought to be, and I do not want any of their places, but they themselves know that injustice is being done somewhere, by stme body. Five or six clerks in the postoffice, one Dem ocrat, eight or ten rural routes, one Democrat: two letter carriers, one Democrat; two workmen at postof fice. both Republicans and nvpolnted since present postmaster took charge. Who is to blame? Is it possible that no Democrat in Union county can stand the ligid examination of the so-called Civil Service, or hps the attitude been so strong that "No Democrat need apply." caused the young Democrats of the county to re fuse to put themselves up to be slaughtered. So far as sufficient charges are concerned, there is no trouble about that, and they should have beeu pre ferred long before this, but whose duly is this? My opinion is that this should be done by those who are being paid and fed by the people, and not the private citizen, but if it must come through the citizens, then I am one ready to head the list. Now this is written with no malice to anyone, but only pleading for fair play, which we are not getting. If a man wishes to be a Republi can, that is his buriness, not mine, but when they are being fed under the administration of the Democratic party, of which I am a member, they must know that they must not curse the hand that feeds them. Respect fully, W. Frank Benton. Miss Liberty Will Be Lighted Up New York Dispatch, Nov. 26.

Of all the glad November days, Thanksgiving Day Is best. From work we turn aside To think how greatly we've been blessed. We've had a year of plenty. How thankful we should be To our gracious Heavenly Father, For who gives such gifts as He? We should render dally thanks, And not wait till one great day, To our kind and loving Father And his holy will obey. When we think of hpmes made deso late, Their great need ef clothes and food; When we think of our own blessings Our hearts are filled with gratitude. Now our father, we do thank thee For thy blessings rich end rare; While there are many with less than we have, May we with them our bounty share. f Annie E. Greene. Waxhaw, R. F. D. 2.
