A stranger never would suspect
from the jaunty care-free smile worn

The Washington Post observes that

An Ohio paper declares there will

A squirrel that has a goud warm

Prof. Frederick Lewis claims that
world peace can come only from in
ternational marriages. Somebody
ought to call his attention to how
this works out in Greece.
The New York World says It Is pos
sible to obtain a fairly correct notion
of contemporary British theory of in
ternational law by reversing all the
protests that Great Britain made to
the United States during the civil
war.
The Post-Intelligencer credits the
war with arousing a better moral
sense In some Frenchmen. A French
artist says: "We have long sold Am
erica fakes and worthless paintings.
Eel us now sell her works of urt certi
fied to by art directors.”
The Germans have taken Bucharest.
They were six days behind their
schedule but they have taken the Bou
rne niun capital Just the same. During
the war they have sturted out to take
Paris, Verdun, Petrograd and have
failed. The y have started to do many
other things and succeded. The cap
ture of Bucharest seem3 to be re
mnrkable in many ways. It occurs
after the war has dragged on two and
a third years. All nations engaged 1
have been severely taxed as to re
sources In men, and especially is this
true of the central powers. For u '
long time the contending armies had '
stood bleeding to death on battle lines
that varied little from month to :
month. Indeed It has seemed for a
long time that the lines would not
be • eatly altered until the debacle
which Is promised by the allied high
—imiinil. Broad, sweeping move
minis appeared to have given place
to trench lighting with small gain In
ground for the victor.
With the entrance of Uoumania into
the war the German allies were put
on the defensive in Truasylvunia unu
a considerable silip of iiungary along
the Koumaiiian border was occupied
by the Husso-Kuumanian invaders.
At that tune Uetuiuuy was uesptiuiely
engaged on the nomine in a torntic
s.juggle against a mighty army of
British. The pressure ou the nomine
Anally relaxed, und s.raught-Wuy the
G^nnun ull.es exerted their strength
in the itouuiunian theater. Two ol
of the bos. G.rman g.neruls were
pluced in conmiund. In llie Uobru ija
ton Muckensen rolled back the hosts
of Russians und Roumanians until
they were north of Cemavuda, In
the meunilme Von ialkeuhuyne won
one seem.ngly small victory uK.r an
other tn ruusylvama which seemed
to attract hule attention. Then came
a dirth of news Horn that rcg.on.
The Berlin bulletins mentioned each
day that a lew thousands of Rouman
ians had bee n captured and that was
all. Then suddenly Luikioh announc
ed that ton Falkenhayne was in
Kouinanla wi.h a large army and was
sweeping all beioie linn. A lew day s
later thne more German allied col
umns entered Rouniania. l’etrograd
admitted ucicu.s und conceded that
Bucharest was ir danger. liussiun
troops were hurried to the rescue.
Von Muckensen s army crossed the
Danube at a number of places south
and east of Bucharest and for a week
the circle 01 German steel has been
closing ubout the doomed city.

It is lule to speculate us to whethei
Germany warns more of Kouinun.a
than is necessary to give her eon-rol
of the Danube or not, or whether she
can tuke that much ana hold it dur
ing the war and ailerwarus. There
is no doubt that Germany cove.s the
Danube with it3 water route to the
Bluek sea, but what she will gel anj
hold rema.ns to be seen. But a
thought docs occur in this connection
ar.d it is concerned with the sign.,
ficunce of this eastern campaign. U
it not true that for a year or more
war experts have been sayng that
the war would be settled in the Bal
kans where it began? What did they
have in mind? If there Is any great
hidden meaning underlying their
prophecies which the lay mind cannot
perceive, it would appear that as the
German allies are unquestionably
victors in the Balkans they are there
fore winning the war. The Germans
profess to think that they are win
ning, but we cannot know of course
what the great German leaders really
think about it. We cun only hear what

On llie other hand the entente allies
declare that they have not yet pm
tln.tr full strci.gth in the Held and
that their gn uiest effort will not he
made until next spring. In the mean
time Germany and Austro-Hungary
have occupied n rich grain country
with great stores of grain available
for their needs and have stengihened
their hold on a route to the far oust

Gold .$3,400,000
Copper.300,000
Silvi r, marble, lead and
gypsum. ,1300,000
Must of the g Id came from lodes in
the vicinity of Junea^i: most of the
copper was obtain d from lodes in the
Ketchikan district; the silver was de
rived almost entirely from the gold
eves, though sil er-b wring g.ihna oc
curs at several places; most of the
marble was quarried in the Ketchi

are known at a lum ber of places, but
none of them have yet made any
notable production: and the gypsum
was mined on Chicagof Island.
