BY CAUL W. ACKEHMAN. WITH THE GEHMAN AHMV AT URNKKAL YON FALKENHAY.VS HK A I>- QUARTERB IN RUMANIA, Doc. 4.— (Via wireless to the United Press.)— Every hun- dred yards there Ih something dead or dying ln Rumania. Tlie country Ih mad with ter- ror. Anarchy and chaos reign everywhere, and tho misery of the Inhabitants is terrible. It is to bring order out of this chaos that Gen. yon Tulff, former military administrator to Poland, before Warsaw's fall, has been named German governor-general of Rumania. The Rumanians, ordered from their homes by their government, clogged the roads, most of them with a few belongings packed on small ox cartß. The advancing Uernianß overtook these refugees. Wildest Anarchy. Then they turned back toward their homes, only to find ln thousands of instances that every- thing they had left behind had been plundered by other Ruma- nians. As we rode through Rammlcu and Walkla the wildest anarchy prevailed. The streets were lit- tered with household good*, pa- pers, window curtains, dead horses and dogs. Meanwhile bands of Rumanian gypsies went from house to house and shop to shop, smashing win- dows and again plundering the homes already half destroyed. These plundering bands -men, women and children- piled what they could not carry on their own backs on stolen horses or cows. Many Children Die, Because of deprivations and the roaming on muddy, cold Rumanian roads, the mortality of children among these miserable refugees has been very high. One can hardly sleep at night because of the constant barking of deserted dogs. Along the roads lay dead or dying horses. Starving dogs gnaw the flesh of these bod- ies and crows pick at their eyes. The terror that is apparent ererywhere Is In striking contrast to the maps which hung In every Rumanian home and which had been use.i as part of the propa- ganda to get the Rumanians to favor war. These mapc show a "greater Ru- mania," the boundaries of which extend far into Austria- Hungary. Instead of Rumania's ambitions being realized, Rumania herself has fallen before the invader.

AMSTERDAM, Dec. 7.—Bu- charest was almost deserted of civilians as well as of soldiers when the Rumanian capital city was captured by the Germans. Reports here today said the city was not demolished. RAID $600 CACHE OF LIQUORS In an unoccupied two-story frame house at 1724 Market st., the police Wednesday afternoon raided the biggest booze cache which has been rounded up in this city since the first of the year. They believe Ihey have unearth- ed the distributing center fori bootlegging "sperations in Tacoma. When, led b yCapt. Cornish, the police pounced down on Ihe oil house, they found it entirely jn- inli.tbiti'il. The only furniture consisted of a table and four chairs. The Illicitbooze was discovered piled up in the kitchen. The po- lice found five gunnysacks con- taining 120 quart bottles of whis- ky, two five-gallon and two 2%- --gallon demijohns filled with whisky, and 12 quarts of beer. The value is estimated al $(100. | No trace of the persons running,l the place could be obtained.

PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 7.—A fleet of Hritisli merchantmen will soon call at Portland lo carry away every bushel of wheat avail- able for sale in tlie Pacific North- west, according to private advices received by dealers today. According to tllls* information, Hiitish agents In the United States who draw on the Bank of England for all purchases have been holding off, hoping that the price of wheat would decline. The time to buy heavily is near, It is believed. The new spirit drawing Tacoma together into a team-working community that is going to get some- where now exemplifies itself in the army post project. Allen & Lamborn, printing firm, has informed Mayor Fawcett that it willprint the ballots for the Jan. 6 bond election free of charge. A considerable number of other enthusiastic citi- zens have volunteered to give their services as elec- tion officials. These people feel, they told the mayor, that they want to do at least that much toward helping along the common good. A committee of public spirited business men had subscribed $3500 to meet the costs of the election. But the volunteer workers take the position they do not want their neighbors' money as pay for ad- vancing an enterprise that is going to do them as much good as it will the donors of the fund. In short, they want to show their public spirit, too. It is this sort of a feeling that makes communities go forward. A campaign that is waged between Thanksgiving and Christmas on the Year of Promise certainly is auspicious. Vessels will be sent hero to take the grain directly to Europe as transportation lines ai-ross Ihe continent are so congested that the shipments could move very slowly if forwarded by rail.

With her case completed, ths defense Immediately moved for a dismissal on the ground that It had not been shown anywhere conclusively that Orr had mads a promise to marry her.

A slipti hit ion between the cou- ple, signed In December, 1915, when ghe consented to withdraw her first breach or promise suit against Orr, also was introduced.

AHMV AT URNKKAL YONFALKENHAY.VS HKA I>-QUARTERB IN RUMANIA,Doc. 4.—(Via wireless to theUnited Press.)— Every hun-dred yards there Ih somethingdead or dying ln Rumania.Tlie country Ih mad with ter-ror. Anarchy and chaosreign everywhere, and thomisery of the Inhabitants isterrible.It is to bring order out of this

chaos that Gen. yon Tulff, formermilitary administrator to Poland,before Warsaw's fall, has beennamed German governor-generalof Rumania.

The Rumanians, ordered fromtheir homes by their government,clogged the roads, most of themwith a few belongings packed onsmall ox cartß. The advancingUernianß overtook these refugees.

Wildest Anarchy.Then they turned back toward

their homes, only to find lnthousands of instances that every-thing they had left behind hadbeen plundered by other Ruma-nians.

As we rode through Rammlcuand Walkla the wildest anarchy

prevailed. The streets were lit-tered with household good*, pa-pers, window curtains, dead horsesand dogs.

Meanwhile bands of Rumaniangypsies went from house to houseand shop to shop, smashing win-dows and again plundering thehomes already half destroyed.These plundering bands -men,women and children- piled whatthey could not carry on their ownbacks on stolen horses or cows.

Many Children Die,

Because of deprivations and theroaming on muddy, cold Rumanianroads, the mortality of childrenamong these miserable refugeeshas been very high.

One can hardly sleep at nightbecause of the constant barking ofdeserted dogs. Along the roadslay dead or dying horses. Starvingdogs gnaw the flesh of these bod-ies and crows pick at their eyes.

The terror that is apparentererywhere Is In striking contrastto the maps which hung In everyRumanian home and which hadbeen use.i as part of the propa-ganda to get the Rumanians tofavor war.

These mapc show a "greater Ru-mania," the boundaries ofwhich extend far into Austria-Hungary.

Instead of Rumania's ambitionsbeing realized, Rumania herselfhas fallen before the invader.

WILL EXPORTALL GRAIN INPACIFIC N.W.

A Spirit ThatBtuilds Cities (I nileil Press Leased Wire.)

PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 7.—Afleet of Hritisli merchantmen willsoon call at Portland lo carryaway every bushel of wheat avail-able for sale in tlie Pacific North-west, according to private advicesreceived by dealers today.

According to tllls* information,Hiitish agents In the UnitedStates who draw on the Bank ofEngland for all purchases havebeen holding off, hoping that theprice of wheat would decline.The time to buy heavily is near,It is believed.

The new spirit drawing Tacoma together into ateam-working community that is going to get some-where now exemplifies itself in the army post project.

Allen & Lamborn, printing firm, has informedMayor Fawcett that it willprint the ballots for theJan. 6 bond election free of charge.

A considerable number of other enthusiastic citi-zens have volunteered to give their services as elec-tion officials.

These people feel, they told the mayor, that theywant to do at least that much toward helping alongthe common good.

A committee of public spirited business men hadsubscribed $3500 to meet the costs of the election.

But the volunteer workers take the position theydo not want their neighbors' money as pay for ad-vancing an enterprise that is going to do them asmuch good as it will the donors of the fund. In short,they want to show their public spirit, too.

It is this sort of a feeling that makes communitiesgo forward.

A campaign that is waged between Thanksgivingand Christmas on the Year of Promise certainly isauspicious.

Vessels will be sent hero totake the grain directly to Europeas transportation lines ai-ross Ihecontinent are so congested thatthe shipments could move veryslowly if forwarded by rail.
