ESTABLISHED 1876, BEMANIAN ARMY IN PERIL OF SQUEEZE BY INVADING HOST Teuton Divisions Now Converging Against Defenders and May Prevent Retreat §ERBIANS' CONTINUE TO PRESS PAST MONASTIR ‘Several Villages and Many Prisoners *seported Captured—Field and Ma- chine Guns Also Fall Into Net— Artillery Actions on Somme Front Reported by London, Paris and Berlin. By bold and rapid strokes the Teu- tonic invaders apparently have con- g gred a large section of north west- ern Wallachia from the Rumanians. Petrograd’s official bulletin today announces a Rumanian retirement in this part of the battle front as to the % region of Filliash, forty miles north- west of Craiova. Judging from the reqgnt reports of the operations this gpeans that converging attacks by Austro-German forces moving south- ward in the Jiul valley and eastward along the railway from Orsova have | compelled the Rumanians to with- | draw from the Orsova region and execute a rapid retreat in the Jiul ~plley. ‘Whether even the rapid retreat in- d#rated has been in time to save the Rumanian armies in this region Is rendered doubtful by the German an- mouncement that Teutonic troops are now before Craiova. The railroad running through Craiova to Bucharest affords the only convenient line of re- tirement for the Orsova and Jiul val- ley armies. While the Rumanians ‘haye evidently reached the junction point of the Jiul valley road with the main line the loss of Craiova would effectually bar their way east- ward except across country. Further eastward in Wallachia the arrival of Russian troops seems - to have strengthened the Rumanian de- fense. The Russians took the offen- north of Campulung, according to Berlin but were repulsed. In the other chief fleld of present | military activity, the Macedonian front, French and Serbian troops are making progress. Germans and Bulgars Reinforced. London, Nov. 21, 12:30 p. m. | $75; DEMOCRATS SPENT ALMOST $2,000 HERE End Campaign With Deficit of Only $2.41—State Central Committec Gave $750. Thomas J.

The report shows that the democratic town committee faces a total debt of about $250, as several bills are yet | to be received. This debt of about $250 is not con- sidered a large one as in past years |it has been considerably more, but during the past few weeks the old debt has been greatly reduced. | Of the many contributions to the local democratic party, a donation of $750 from the state central commit- tee, through David E. Fitzgerald, chairman, was the largest. Judge Bernard F. Gaffney was the largest individual contributor, with a dona- tion of $150. Contributions of $100 each were made by Attorney P. F. McDonough, T. J. Smith, Dr. Mendiel | Volkenheim and William J. Farley. | Dr. Henry T. Bray contributed $50 and there were several donations of less than $50. B. Miller, treasurer of the first congressional district, gave $200. Expenditures during the campaign include many items, the largest single one being $400 to Thomas J. Lynch as pay for the Lyceum theater for four big rallies. Various bands and drum corps hired during the cam- paign cost $240 and newspaper ad- vertising cost approximately $500. Treasurtrs of the various wards were given money as follows: T. W. O’Con- nor, first ward, $25; Oscar Krause, second ward, $25; J. L. Ross, fourth ward, $52; John Riley, fifth ward, and Frank L.

There men are said to be given the choice of a German labor contract of three or six months or immediate deportation to Germany. The Tele- graaf adds that an official letter has been sent all burgomasters demand- {ing lists of unemployed under penalty of deporting citizens of all classes to Germany.

The eight missing counties, although they include the most populous in the state, will not develop any serious discrep- ancies, according to some of the par- ty leaders who say they have closely followed the trend of the canvass being made by the various county of- ficials. President Wilson's plurality, accord- ing to the check of the republicans, will be not less than 3,416. These figures, it was stated, did not take into consideration the total from the cight counties whose returns are yet to be filed with the secretary of state. was seen here Willcox Still Has Hopes.
