Passing in Review News of the Week from War Zones of Europe and Mexico The Rumanians have suffered fur ther reverses at the hands of Gen eral von Falkenhayn's invading forc es, according to official announcement by the Gorman war office late last week. Taking a total of more than 2100 prisoners and a dozen machine guns, the Teuton forces carried a mountain peak on the Moldavian frontier of Rumania east of Kedsivas- arhely, penetrated a Rumanian posi , tion in the Predeal region and scored advances south of Rothenhurm pass, the statement asserts. Apparently the Russians are holding their own well along the northern part of the Moldavian boundary line. Berlin re ports them withstanding the Austn German attacks. Five members of the crew of the tug T. A. Scott, Jr., which accomp anied the German submarine Deutsch land from New - London on her return trip to Bremen, were drowned when the submersible and the tug collided in the race about 12 miles from this point. The only per son on the tug saved was Captain Fred Hinsch of the German interned liner Neckar. The tug, which be longed to the T. A. Scott Wrecking company, went to the bottom. the flank of the Rumanian army south of Vulcan pass and making the position of the Rumanian army at Orsova hazardous. Official advices indicate that all of the Americans at Parral, Mexico, made their escape and will soon ar rive in Nogales, Ariz. There has been much anxiety at Washington be cause of persistent reports mat vnia hnnHits had Dut manv foreigners to death when they raided the town recently. The position of Rumania appears increasingly precarious. General von Falkenhayn's armies are continuing to force their way southward from . the Transylvanian border and Petro grad admits a further retirement of the Rumanians in the Jiul .valley region. The greatest peril to the Roumanians, according to the view of entente military critics, lies in the reported cutting of the railway from the Danube to Craiove, threatening An Amsterdam dispatch to the Wireless Press says the Dutch gov ernment has instructed its represent ative at Berlin to notify the German government that a painful impression has been produced in Holland by the deportation of Belgian civilians. Twontv unexnloded bombs were found in the sugar cargo of the Amer ican steamer Sarnia upon her arrival at Cherbourg, France, after a voyage starting from New York oh Septem ber 2, during which the vessel caught fire from a cause unknown, according to Fourth Mate Wybrance of the Sar nia, who arrived at New York Mon day from Liverpool. Germany is about to follow up her declaration of Polish independence with a similar announcement regard ing Lithuania, according to despatch es from Switzerland. The despatches said that a new state will probably receive Prince Eitel Friedrich, second son of the emperor, as its sovereign and will form a state of the German empire with a similar status to that of Bavaria or Saxony. As in the case of Poland, the despatches add, a Lith uanian army will be formed to fight under Field Marshal von Hindenburg. It is estimated that Lithuania could raise 150,000 men. Lord Chelmsford, India's new vice roy, in an interview with the. corres pondent of the Associated Press, dis claimed reports of any new problems I i .f-J in India rising out of the European war. He said: "No doubt at the present moment political problems are attracting the greatest attention both in and out of India, but none the less it is a mistake to suppose that these are new problems which have recently come up, or even different problems from those on which we worked in the past. The victory of General Sarrail's armies on the western end of the Macedonian front which resulted last week in the capture of Monastir is being vigorously followed up. The German-Bulgarian forces whicn evac uated the citv as the result of the suc cessful, flanking movement by the French and Serbians are still in lull retreat. Paris reports. Already sev eral towns north of Monastir have been taken by the entente troops. Press despatches depict Monastir as virtually destroyed by fire and ex plosions and deserted by the popula tion and describe the retreat, of its defenders as a rout. .Berlin, however, declares the new positions chosen north of Monastir were occupied without entente pressure being felt and adds that fresh German forces have arrived on the scene. It asserts further that Serbian attempts to ad vance along the Moglenica front east of the Monasir region were defeated. Co More Stomach trouble Jitter taking Truitola Feels Ten Years Younger Now and Enjoys the Best of Health Mrs. H. N. Holbrook of Arko, Minn., who is seventy years old, has written to the Pinus laboratories that, thanks to Fruitola and Traxo, she is now very well and feels ten years younger. In her letter Mrs. Holbrook says: "Fruitola relieved me of quite a large number, of gall stones and I immediately began to teel better and have had no more trouble since." Fruitola and Traxo are compound ed from the original Edsall formulas at the Pinus laboratories at Monti cello, .111., and can be purchased in Oregon City, Portland, Canby and Hubbard at the Huntley Bros. Co.'s drug stores; a doctor's prescription is not necessary. Fruitola is a pure fruit oil that acts as an intestinal lubricant and disintegrates the hard ened particles that cause so much suffering, discharging the accumulated waste to the sufferer's intense relief. One dose is usually sufficient to indicate its efficacy. Traxo is a tonic-alterative that is most effective to rebuild and restore the weakened, rundown system. A booklet of special interest to those who suffer from stomach trouble can be obtained by writing to the Pinus Laboratories, Monticello, Illinois. The military critic of the Overseas News agency " writes: "The great thrust on the Somme has come to a standstill. Last week the general battle was split into isolated attacks. The small local successes of the ene my could not be developed and were for the jjipst part nullified by counter attacks. The fact that for several wteeks the same villages have been mentioned again and . again in the official German reports and those of the entente is the best proof that the eeneral battle on the Somme has come to a standstill and that the Brit ish as well as the French are limited to improving their positions." The allies' victory at Monastir was pushed into the background Monday by advices from Rumania. The out look for the salvation 'of Rumania is blacker than it has been at any other time since the armies of Von Falken hayn and Von Mackensen began their double drive in September. Power ful thrusts carried the Austro-Ger- man lines nearly 50 miles into the western part of Rumania. MRS. H. N. HOLBROOK The administration will stand for but little further delay from the Mex ican side of the Atlantic City con ference. Its patience is at the break ing point and the next few days may bring important developments. The Mexicans will be told emphatically, in language stripped of all diplomacy, that the United States cannot sit in the sessions if dilatory, obstructive tactics are continued. By such means the administration hopes to force a peaceful agreement on vexatious problems between the two nations, The border patrol plan is but part of what this government hopes to ac complish. Primarily, however, pro tection and safety of American rights and property in Mexico is the big problem. If these rights are not ob tained satisfactorily and a border patrol plan effected, new steps will b taken. Cost is going down Though it has been said times with out number, it is always worth retell ing that the cost of electric service keeps coming down while everything else is going up. Food, shelter, cloth ing, luxuries -all cost more than they did a few years ago and none of them have bettered in quality. Today the public utility companies are giving much better service and are charging less for it than a few years ago. To day you can ride to your heart's con tent in a trolley car for a nickel.

Monastir, for which the entente forces have been struggl ing since the advance from Saloniki began, has been evacuated by the German and Bulgarian forces and occupied by the French and a consid erable number of Serbs. The Ger mans found their position untenable and withdrew, according to Berlin, to a new position on the north of Monas tir. ' Unofficial advices from Saloniki say that a temporary capital of Serbia will be immediately estab lished. The railway line from the entente allied base at Saloniki now is in entente hands. Men Feel Tired, Too While much is said about tired women it 'must be remembered that men also pay the penalty of over work. When the kidneys are weak, inactive or sluggish, when one feels tired out and miserable, lacks energy and ambition, Foley Kidney Pills are tonic and strengthening. Win. H. Clark, Springfield, Ohio, writes:: "I found no relief from kidney trouble until I discovered Foley Kidney Pills. Now I am in A 1 shape." They act quickly and surely. Jones Drug, Co. DAVID MOBLEY TO MARRY i Assistant Cashier of Local Bank to Wed Superior Court Bailiff David A. Mobley, assistant cash ier of the Bank of Commerce since the reorganization of that institution, is to be a Christmas groom. Mr. Mobely will be married to Miss Bev erly Sharp of Vancouver, Wash., on December 23, and thereby bring to a happy climax the romance of col lege days, when the young people were students at the University of Oregon law school, from which both were graduated. Mr. Mobely deserted a legal career when he took up his duties at the bank here. Miss Sharp, who has been putting her legal training to practical use as bailiff of the superior court of Clarke county, Washington, has the distinction of being the first woman bailiff appointed in that state. She has served in Judge R. H. Black's court for four years and has been in charge of the women jurors. As bailiff, it is said that Miss Sharp has witnessed hundreds of marriage cer emonies, and a coincidence is noted in the fact that her sister", Mrs. Ella Butler, deputy auditor of Clarke county, will issue the license for Miss Sharp s wedding. The ceremony is to take place at the home of the bride s parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Sharp, at Vancouver, on the evening of December- 23. Shortly after Christmas the young couple will be at home in Oregon City. HERBAUGH PAROLED District Attorney's Objection to Re lease is of No Avail Notwithstanding vigorous protests expressed in open court by District Attorney Gilbert L. Hedges and Dep uty Thomas A. Burke, Judge J. U, Campbell on Friday paroled M. H. Herbaugh after sentencing the man to from 3 to 20 years, following his conviction on charges preferred by the mans 13-year-old niece, Lulu Hondrick. District Attorney Hedges pointed out the serious nature of Herbaugh's crime and asked that the court give him the most heavy sentence possible under the law. "It is not safe to allow such men their liberty," said the district attorney, who later pointed out that the saving of a few dollars monthly in widows' pension money was not consideration enough to war rant a parole. Herbaugh is a mar ried man and has several children. His parole was conditional upon his se curing two reputable bondsmen This the prisoner failed to do until Saturday evening and was forced to spend Friday night in the county jail. i SCHMIDT IS GUILTY Coop of Rhode Island Reds is Exhibit in Circuit Court Case Frank Schmidt, a well-known farmer, was found guilty last week by a jury in Judge Campbell's court of stealing chickens, and was assessed a fine of $100 and costs. A coop of pure-bred Rhode Island Red lung was one exhibit presented to the jury. These fowls were found on the Schmidt farm by Sheriff Wilson and Constable Frost, and were identified as those of H. M. Robbins by mark ings on the feet. Mr. Robbins was the complaining witness against Schmidt. A slander suit filed against Rob bins by Schmidt as an outgrowth of the present case was dismissed Mon day. The jury in the case last week included J. W. Gray, G. N. Barker, M. G. Smith, C. H.

W. T. Mil- liken. Floral offerings were profuse nnH beautiful and included a large mat that covered the casket. This was sent by the county ofhciais ana rfhnnsn pmnloves who were asso ciated with Mr. Tufts while he was county treasurer. Interment was in Mountain View cemetery, where the rasket. wraDDed in a large flag, was lowered to the sound of "taps." Thn active Dallbearers. members of (,. T n. O. F. and Artisans, were E. L.

Hubble, George Horton and C. A. Williams. At the services Mrs. E. H. Cooner and Mrs. W. C. Green sang "Tenting Tonight." the delegates agreed advanced cost of materials made higher prices for farm machinery necessary. Delegates denied a formal agree ment was made or would be made to increase prices. Damage Suit Dropped The $2500 damage suit brought against Herbert Robbins by Frank Schmidt . was dismissed in Judge Campbell's court Monday. , Schmidt is the man convicted and fined $100 last Week for the theft of chickens from the Robbins farm. The damage suit was an outgrowth of the charges made by Robbins in this connection. FARMERS MAY LOSE Manufacturers Deny Formal Agree ment to Raise Machinery Prices face a heaw increase in the price of farm implements, thresh- ers and tractors, enective tne nrsx 01 tho vpar. This became practically certain last week at Chicago as a re sult of the annual meeting of the manufacturers of farm machinery. The system of long term payments ill nrobablv be done away with, it wna lamed. and what amounts to cash prices 90 per cent down will be demanded. High crop prices and the new rural credits system make it nnssihlp for the farmer to comply with these changes, delegates said. They cited increasea cost oi mater ials as the reason for the proposed advance.
