[[1st column]] The town of Dinan, the Tele- af says, has been ordered to rebuild the belfry of the church, toward which the Germans offer a subsidy of $3,000 from the Belgium budget. The town has protested against the order. Orsova-Craiova railroad, the only railway line running through Rumania from the east to west. This advance menaces the Rumanian army on the line stretching along the Danube in a southeasterly direction from Orsova and will probably compel its retreat. A retirement of this force will open the way for a brand new invasion of Roumania from Bulgaria, by way of Vidin or Rahova. STRATEGICAL POSITION The progress of the Austro-Germans in northeastern Rumania is much more difficult. The Rumanians and Russians have massed the bulk of their armies in that zone to prevent Rumania being cut off from Russia. But a decisive victory in that sphere will not be necessary if the Teutons keep up their swift progress across the Rumanian plains. An advance across this stretch of level ground in central Rumania will put the Austro-Germans in the rear of the armies in the Carpathians and the eastern ranges of the Transylvanian Alps, compelling them to flee. BULGAR RETREAT CONTINUES. The retreat of the Germano-Bulgarian force from Monastir in the direction of Prilep continues. The Berlin war office explains that the evacuation of the Macedonian capital was prepared for several days in advance, or ever since the Serbians crossed the Cerna river. Strategy made it undesirable to defend the heights because of their topographical position and when the Serbians reached them the city itself, which lies in a deep bowl, became untenable. The Serbs are delaying entering Monastir because of the fire and explosions which have virtually destroyed the city, from which the population fled. One report has it that the Bulgarians are retiring in good order to take up strong positions five miles to the rear, while the Wireless Press under Rome date lines claims that the retreat has become a rout.

LONDON, NOV 20. - An Athens dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Co. says the German, Austro-Hungarian, Bulgarian and Turkish ministers to Greece have been informed by Vice Admiral Du Fournet, commander of the allied fleet that they must depart from Greece by Wednesday.

New York, NOV. 20. - The record-breaking airplane flight of Ruth Law, begun yesterday in Chicago, terminated at Governor's Island here at 9:40 a.m. today, *after stops at Cornell and Binghamton, N.Y. The final 152 miles from Binghamton to this city was covered this morning in two Greatest Flight Ever Made on Western Hemisphere NEW YORK, NOV. 20--After an examination of the recording instruments on Miss Law's machine the Aero Club of America officially stamped Miss Law's exploit as the greatest non-stop flight ever made by either a man or a woman aviator on the Western Hemisphere. Her average speed was estimated unofficially to be 92 miles an hour for the entire distance. The strong westerly wind caused Miss Law to drift considerably during the flight from Binghamton to Governor's Island, with the result that the total distance flown from Chicago to New York was estimated at about 880 miles. hours and 20 minutes, and the entire journey, 832 miles in an air line, in the actual flying time of nine hours and one minute. Miss Law was greeted on her arrival at Governor's Island by Major General and Mrs. Leonard Wood, who congratulated her on her achievement. She was considerably chilled and was taken to the house of one of the officers at the post to recuperate. She had little to say about her flight, except that she had to fly much lower than she wanted to, on account of the haze. SHATTERED ALL RECORDS Miss Law shattered all American long distance aviation records for a single flight yesterday, when she flew from Chicago o Hornell, N.Y., a distance by railroad of about 660 miles, bettering by about 100 miles the record made by Victor Carlstrom on Nov. 2. Previously Miss Law had never made a single flight longer than 25 miles. Her machine, a small bi-plane, has a spread of wings less than half that of the one Carlstrom used. It was not specially designed for the occasion. MADE WITHOUT STOP. Miss Law covered a distance of about 785 miles in six hours and 50 minutes, time being deducted for the descent at Hornell. The first 662 miles, the distance by rail between Chicago and Hornell was made without a stop. [[3rd column]] asked who was there. A few hours later a man ran away from the building and fired a shot at Warren, who retaliated with a couple of shots. None of the bullets did any damage, however.

While they were in the act of breaking into a store at Third and Spring streets, they were surprised by the police. When taken to police station they gave their names as Theodore Syburtus and Leroy Syburtus. They are colored and say they live in Lima. Officers Van Gieson and Kaffits made the arrest.

WAGNER'S MUSIC CAUSES NEAR RIOT IN ROME Playing of Funeral March From "Gotterdammerung" Brings Shouts of Imprecation ROME, NOV. 20.--(Via Paris.)-- An attempt to introduce some of Wagner's music into a concert conducted by Arturo Toscanini, late of the Metropolitan Opera, New York, resulted in an uproar last night which brought the performance to a premature conclusion. The orchestra had commenced the funeral march "Gotterdammerung" when there were loud shouts of "it is for the victims of Padua!" A storm of imprecations against Wagner and Germany came from all parts of the great auditorium and the concert had to be abandoned. An Austrian aviator bombarded Padua on November 11 and, according to news dispatches, killed 32 persons and injured about twice that number. All the dead were said to be non-combatants and most of them women and children. Pope Benedict made a strong protest to Vienna as a result of the raid. Toledo Wants Arbitration.

He has dismantled his home at Fairview, shipped a portion of the furniture to his winter home at Miami, Fla., and is sending his large library, which he greatly prizes, to his summer home at Ashville, N. C., where it is said he will live and cast his vote. Fairview is said to be fore sale, although Mr. Bryan's brother, C. W. Bryan, denies that Mr. Bryan has left Nebraska for all time. Many Nebraska Democrats believe he has his eye on the Prohibition presidential nomination in 1920. DEPOSED BY SENATOR. Mr. Bryan has been deposed as the Democratic leader in Nebraska by HELPED CAPTURE "JEFF" DAVIS [[image - picture of W. O. Van Houten]] W. O. VAN HOUTEN.

HILER TO BE CASHIER Columbus Man to Return to Treasurer's Office Under Regime of Chester E. Bryan. William J. Hiler, 1229 Livingston avenue, will be cashier in the office of State Treasurer-elect Chester E. Bryan, it was stated Monday. Mr. Hiler served four years in the state treasurer's office when D. S.

Hitchcock, who was re-elected over Bryan's most determined opposition. Further-more, Geith Neville, a then unknown young man from the western part of the state, who was taken up by Hitchcock, defeated Charles W. Bryan for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination and was afterward elected governor over the opposition of W. J. and C. W. Bryan and all their friends. At the start of the fight Nebraska Democrats refused to send Bryan as a delegate to the Democratic national convention and his defeat was laid at the door of the Hitchcock organization. Now even many of the drys are saying that Bryan's championing of prohibition won them practically no votes. OPENS "DRY CHICAGO" FIGHT. CHICAGO, NOV. 20.--A "dry Chicago" campaign was opened today with an address by W. J. Bryan before a meeting of the dry Chicago federation. Mr. Bryan was asked as to a recurrence of the report that he was to move his home to Asheville, N. C. "I don't mind denying it again," said Mr. Bryan. "Why should anyone leave a nice dry state like Nebraska? My home will remain at Lincoln. I will do my voting there." LIGHT PLANT TAKES INVENTORY OF COAL Sizes Up Supply Daly and, If Short, Orders Are to Buy on Open Market. At a special meeting of the board of purchase Monday morning, Superintendent Harry E. Eichhorn of the municipal light plant, was authorized to go into the open market and buy coal if the contractors failed to furnish before noon enough to run the plant through Monday night. The necessity for this did not arrive, however, as the Fletcher-Williams Coal Co., the contractors, managed to get two carloads to the plant during the morning, with promises of more early Tuesday morning. The purchasing board instructed Superintendent Eichhorn to see that there is enough coal in the bunkers to last through the night, each day at noon, and if there is not, to make any arrangements necessary to get the coal, by purchase on the open market, confiscation or other means. The coal dealers, in this case, will have to repay the city the difference between the price paid on the open market and the contact price. The contractors now hope to be able to keep the plant supplied without having to resort to purchases elsewhere. The waterworks department and the garbage reduction plant both had fair supplies of coal on hand Monday. Five Boys Drowned.

NEW YORK, NOV. 20 - Retail grocers complain of a shortage of canned goods and some predict that only one-third of the normal supply will be available in New York this winter. Many grocers are running out of their supplies of standard, widely advertised canned products, declared a trustee of the Retail Grocers' association, and are unable to replenish their stock.

FEAR FLOUR SHORTAGE. Wholesale Dealers Have Supply of But Only Few Days. CLEVELAND, OHIO, NOV 20. - Cleveland is facing a serious flour shortage, dealers say, and any miscalculation might leave the city absolutely without flour within a week. Wholesale grocers are said to have but a few days' supply on hand, where ordinarily they keep from 30 to 40 days ahead, and with the present demand the surplus will be wiped out unless incoming shipments increase. Dealers say the railroads are unable to deliver orders on account of freight congestion and that should severe cold or a blizzard interfere with traffic between this city and the northwest, Cleveland will be without flour.

An alternative suggestion, contained in the resolution, is that the government shall establish such a system of credits that the people may borrow money for a long term of years, at a low rate of interest, to build their own homes. All state federations of labor and organized labor everywhere were urged, in an adopted resolution, to make the injunction question the paramount issue in all of their future political activities. Such activity should be continued, the resolution says, until a law is operative in every state that will "protect the rights and liberties of all citizens in so far as the illegal, unconstitutional and unwarranted use and abuse of the writ of injunction is concerned in trade disputes."
