London. December 4 Whether
the cabinet crisis Is definitely pass
ed or not Is uncertain, but Indica
tions are that Premier Asquith Is
maintaining his reputation as one
of the greatest political placators
In history.
On the ni'Jst reliable Information
ibtainab'e it is believed that Lloyd
George will nat resign as rumored,
nor, It Is Fald, did he actually
threiten to do so. He did. how
ever firmly express his vigorous
belief of the absolute necessity of
la, small compact council with full
authority to conduct the war.
Apparently Asquith acceded to
the suggestions of the Secretary of
jWar. for it was officially announc
ed last night that the Premier haa
decided t0 advise the King to con
sent to a reconstruction of the gov
ernment. It is ctrcomstanclally reported
that Unionist cabinet members ad
vised the premier to resign and in
t mated that if he did noot do so
then the whoole Unionist represent
tation in the cabinet would. 1
The nature of Aaqulth's reply Is
noot revealed but it Is understood
that the Unionists hare hot decid
ed, to remain. M AiUbiafiU,. ,u, L.,
Asquith announced (hi;, morning PROPOSALS
t hit rotn Commons and King hnd
an'roved his plan for the recon
struction of the Government.

GERMANS FRIDAY WITHIN TEN
MILES OF BUCHAREST AND
PREPARING FOR SEIGE
ELKS OEOOmitl
WEIL
(By CARL W. ACKERMAN)
Headquaters Marshall Mackensen,
Dec.l The QermanB Friday were
within ten miles of Bucharest. The
Roumanian retreat was so precipi
tate that the German advance col
umn in hot support of the fleeing e
nemy lost touch with their support
ing infantry the slower moving- in
fantry being unable to keep up.
German officers declare that the
morale of the Roumanian army Is
crmpletely broken, and no serious
defense of the Roumanian capital
Is expected. However, German offi
cers are taking no chances and are
moving huge forces and all the e
quipment necessary for a glege.
Note. The foregoing statenlnjt
puts the Germans on Friday much
closer to Bucharest than was hint
ed at in official statements of the
German war office.

JUDGE . BRAGAW'9 , ADDRESS
HEARD WITH MUCH' FAVoff
fey LARGE AUDIENCE
Elixabeth Lodge No. 856 BuV
Tolent and Protective Order of
Elks held a beautiful and solemn '.
memorial service aa a tribute taa ,
memory of their dead Sunday aftT ,
noon at the Alkrama. . tv ?'
Judge Stephen C Bragaw of Wain ,
ington Lodge No. .882. delivered th I .
Memorial address, and a very: p- .
propriate program waa carried out.. .
The lodge members turned out in
a body and a large number of cit
izens witnessed the ceremonies. ' '.
The exercises began promptly at
3 o'clock, when Exalted Ruler; P, -'
G. Sawyer asked Dr. B. C. Hen-
ning to lead in the opening prayer.
Following this came the openimv "
after which Mr. H. O. Parka tang.- -'Peace
Troubled 8oul.' A juaf , ;
tette rendered 'The Vacant Chair,' '
and Mr. H. C. Foreman sang 0
Dry Those Tears.' Following
Judge Bragaw'a address the choir ,
aang 'God So Loved The World,' .
The exercises were probably , the
most impressive tJVi Lodge V haa '
ever held. Judge Bragaw proved
himself an orator worthy of , tha
occasion, and the committee may
fee) congratulated In having .been
able to secure his excellent . senrl-
cee. - His-epeech'wat forceful, , v
presslve and appropriate. " He t'
ferred to "man's inhumanity to t
man" as something foreign to th9 ,
principle of Elkdom, and with the
subject, Brotheily Love, held hi :.
audience anxious for every word '
The keynote of his address might ',r. ;
be found in this single quotation -V'
from his speech, "My brothersi t .
The man. whatever the age Of- ,-'. .
wherever the clime, who stands for
God's truth and man's hope, and in '
his dally life and relations with
men carries in his heart the spirit
oof Charity, Justice and Brotherly
Love Is himself erecting to his OWB .
memory a monument that cannot
crumble, and doeg not need a place
In any man-made hall of fame." .
The speaker wa8 fittingly Intro i.
duced by Judge R. W. Turner, who
briefly referred to the speaker as
one of Carolina's most substantial
men, a lawyer and an Ex-Judge, too
widely known to need an introduc- f
tlon.
