The remnants of the Boumaalan Wal
Jlachian army Virtually hava succeeded

through the splendid support and
; stubborn resistance of the Russian
Cossacks, who are fighting side by
J side with the Roumanians.

.and more difficult since be crossed

roda. His progress has been checked
'abruptly and .at least,, temporarily,
.about 10 miles southwest Of the great
Roumanian granary, thus forcing th
"fighting front in Roumania to the
bank, of the lower Danube.
J j Even In the Dobrudja the advance
Jof Mackensen's army Is slow, as Oen
feral Sakharoff Is offering the most
t stubborn resistance. In the region of
the villages of Cerna and Umachea
the fighting has attained exceeding
'violence, according to reports from
Fetrograd. These villages are 25 miles
south of the mouth of the Danube.

Russians have been-carried out, wlth

' Steel sold at 100 V during the late
afternoon. Trading was so furious
"that the ticker was 10 to 25 minutes

hour. Traders operating from brok

Washington, Dec. 21. (I. N. 8.)
The entire population of the United
States and its territorial possessions
Is' approximately 112,444,620, accord
ing to a table of estimates given out
today by the government census bu
reau. The United States proper has
102.017.812,
Steady and in some cases marvelous
growth of large cities is seen in the
bureau's estimates. There has been
a regular drift from the country to the
city, despite the various back-to-the-farm
movements. The first five cities
in rank of their population are:
New York 6,602.841
Chicago 2.487,722
Philadelphia 1,709,6X8

Continued cold and stormy weather
In the Rocky mountains delayed trans
continental trains again today, the
6-W. R. & N. and Oregon Short Line
solving their part of the difficulty by
running stub trains. Belated connec
tions from the east made it necessary
to run an extra train out of Salt Lake
City on the time of No. 19. due here
at 11:20 a. m., without waiting longer.
This train arrived almost on time.
The regular No. 19; however, was bul
letined this morning to airive around
3 p. m.
Today's No. 5, the fast mail, was
due in at 7 o'clock, but the same Influ
ences retarded It east of Salt Lake
City, and it will get in about 4:30,
Instead. No. 17, due at 7 tonight, Is
now expected about 9 p. m.
Bitter cold and heavy winds restrict
the steaming power of engines, and
these conditions are chiefly respon
sible for the delays.
- Heavy snows were reported today In
the Blue mountains, with two feet six
inches recorded on the summit of
Kamela hill, and one foot on Telocaset
hill. These hills are the high points
in the Blue range.
