Roumanian Front — Berlin announces capture of nearly 20,000 Roumanians in successful advance from Transylvanian Alps to Walachian plain above Bucharest since November 1. Bucharest claims local successes. Dobrudja front calm.
Western Front—Berlin admits loss of Grandcourt and piercing of lines at two other points by great British offensive, but declares attack in general was repulsed. London and Paris report comparative calm.

London, Nov. 19—Monastir has fallen to the allies.
Official announcement was made in Saloniki this evening that the Serbians are to make the city their capital.
To the strains of the Serbian national hymn the remnant of King Peter's army at 8 o'clock this morning marched though the shell-riddled gates of the Macedonian city whence a year ago they fled in panic and hunger before the great Teuton-Bulgarian steam roller.
At the head of the victorious troops rode Crown Prince Alexander, rejuvenator of the little Balkan kingdom's soldiers, and side by side with them marched French regiments with whose aid the first great step toward the reconquest of Serbia was accomplished.
Here and there in the long line the triumphal march a row of Muscovite "Tchakos" towered above the helmets of steel. Their owners were members of the Russian contingent which also co-operated in the encirclement of the great Bulgarian stronghold. A few minutes after the first battalions had entered, the Serbian colors—red, blue and white—once more fluttered from the mast tops on Monastir's government and municipal buildings.

Anniversary of Serb Capture.
The entry was peculiarly timely, for to-day is the anniversary of the capture of the city by the Serbs four years ago
The French war office was the first to tell the news of the great success. It was flashed broadcast, and a few hours later messages from all Entente capitals told of unbounded jubilation.
"Troops of the Army of the Orient," said the French official announcement, "entered Monastir at 8 o'clock this morning, the anniversary of the taking of the town by the Serbians in 1912."
Early in the afternoon word came from Berlin that the German war office had conceded the loss of the Macedonian base.
German and Bulgarian troops, the official statement said, have taken up a position north of Monastir. Monastir is thus abandoned.
The city lies eighty-give miles northeast of Saloniki. Its occupa-

Possibility of Belliger s Defying
International Law May Force Step;Self-Protection a Factor.
BY INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19—The discussion of prospects for peace has made a profound impression here. The intimations from European capitals that President Wilson has a peace movement under way are interpreted to mean that American diplomatic and consular officers are sounding opinion in belligerent countries.
A strong belief exists that President Wilson hopes to make a visible effort toward peace in Europe as soon as the Mexican situation is composed to reasonable certainty that this country will not be obliged to go to war with that country.
The report has gained strength from the belief that all belligerents are near the point where international law may not hold them.

BRITISH PLOT SEEN.
Great Britain, by usurping control of the sea, defying the United States and less powerful neutrals, and imposing what conditions she will, is expected to take a final step unless she is given pause.
That step, in the opinion of many, is to attempt to involve the United States in the war by tempting Germany to violate her pledge to this country.
Germany has complied with her promises to the United States as expressed in the Sussex note. In that same note Germany complained of Great Britain's being permitted to violate law at will with only ineffectual protests from the United States.

EXPECT WAR ON TRADE.
But is is believed Germany is now a greater menace to England than she has been since the war began. It is not thought that she will break her promise to the United States, but will make terrific attacks abroad on England's commerce.
Neutral countries almost without exception look to President Wilson to start a movement that will give belligerents opportunity, without loss of prestige, to discuss peace terms,
Several ways are suggested, but the two receiving most consideration by diplomats are:
1 A proposal for armistice to permit representatives of belligerents to meet at a neutral capital to discuss terms for a definitive peace
2, Renewal of offers of the good offices of the United States.
The first plan is held by diplomatists as the one likely to receive the best consideration.

Herrick Urges Billion Dollars for War Aid
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 19—Myron T. Herrick, former ambassador to France, suggested to a distinguished audience at the home of E. T. Stotesbury to-night that the government of the United States should raise a relief fund of a billion dollars for the sufferers in all the warring nations of Europe. He suggested state and federal appropriations. 

story begins earlier than that. It was like this:

"ONCE UPON A TIME"—
Once upon a time—long before the high cost of beauty had reached $1,875 a year—a frantic father rushed into George A. Trude's law office.
 "It's about my daughter Fannie," the frantic father cried. "She's only sixteen years old and she's gone and married a person by the name of Daggett. I won't stand it."
"You don't have to stand it," the lawyer answered. "We'll get you an annulment."
So the lawyer was retained, and, naturally, he had a talk or two with the child wife—imagine how beautiful she must have been then!—and—
Anyway, Mr. Trude proceeded to marry the girl and for many years, this arrangement seemed satisfactory to all concerned. Sydney Smith Trude, a son born of the marriage, is now a grown man living at 4714 Grand boulevard.

"TRIAL DIVORCE" TRIED.
But in 1911, to the amazement of many, the Trudes separated and gave out a public statement. Maybe the separation would be permanent and maybe not, the statement said. It was a "trial divorce." The party of the first part would live separate and apart from the party of the second part, and they wouldn't meet at all, excepting once in a while for the purpose of a conference—to find out whether there was a chance for reconciliation.
 Mrs. Trude continued to live at 709 Sheridan road. Her husband installed himself in a downtown club. A few months later Mrs. Trude was sued for a $27 perfumery bill, and somebody asked how in the world she could spend such money on such an item. Then came the schedule, the famous schedule, by which she showed an annual expense account of almost $2,000 "for perfumes, powders and such things."

REAL SEPARATION IN 1915.
The real divorce came in 1915.
Presently the name of Harry Riley began to be heard in the same conversations with that of the beautiful divorcee. It was said he was a "boyhood sweetheart." He always had been connected in one way or another with the amusement business. Once he was an usher in the old Chicago Opera House. Again he was ticket man at the Majestic. And after a while he went into the circus game.
"We were married Saturday afternoon," Mr. Riley confessed by telephone from South Haven, Mich., last night, "at the home of my wife's aunt, Mrs. Ida Barstow, at Indian Grove, near South Haven, Mich. Only a few of our friends were present. We shall leave soon for Asheville, N. C., and shall return to Chicago about Christmas. We shall make our home here."

She withdrew suddenly from social life, in which she had been conspicuous, and only her most intimate friends continued to hear of her. It was on her mother's account.
Mrs. Horace Jackson, who had been Mrs. Groff, was wealthy, erratic, interested chiefly in art and travel. When she was stricken by illness four years ago she became so irritable, it is said it was difficult to find a nurse who could get along with her.
Miss Jackson devoted her entire time and enegry to the care of her mother—and her mother is said to have conveyed to her properties worth about $50,000.
Mrs. Jackson also gave costly gifts to others, so that when she died, last Match, she left only about $20,000 worth of property, and that is the property situated in Hinsdale, that the son now seeks to have divided. The mother left no will.

DETAILS TO BE REVEALED.
When the suit is heard, it is believed details will be revealed of the way the mother and daughter lived together for four years in Hinsdale. The suit asks that Miss Jackson be required to account for all the property now in her possession that formerly belonged to her mother.
Emil C. Wetten, attorney for Miss Jackson, filed a demurrer, which has not yet been argued. He declined to discuss the case last night, or to tell where Miss Jackson is. She is said to be with friends somewhere in Chicago. Her health has been poor, it is said, ever since she began the long vigil at her mother's side.
Horace Jackson is named as co-defendant in the suit, but he said last night he had no interest in it.
"The children will get their shares of their mother's property," he said, "without difficulty."
Mr. Groff could not be reached last night. He is the head of a printing house and lives at 4522 Sheridan road.

Milk Costly, John D. Takes Cows With Him
LAKEWOOD, N. J., Nov 19.—The high cost of milk holds no horrors for John D. Rockefeller. When the oil magnate comes to his home here this week he will move  a herd of fine cows with him. They will make the trip in auto vans. Later the cows will be sent South, where Mr. Rockefeller intends to spend part of the Winter.

Potato Legal Tender f roDrink in Danville
DANVILLE, Ill., Nov. 19.—At the George Dallas saloon a peddler offered a large potato, vintage of 1916, after he had been served with a drink. The bartender tested it for soundness, threw a dime and three pennies on the bar and said: "Your change."

stating that Russian casualties since June 1, 1915, were 100,621 officers and 2,027,853 men, a total of 2,128,464. Among superior officers recently fallen were one brigadier general, four colonels and four lieutenant colonels, commanders of regiments. Part of the Russian forces in the Caucasus recently have been transferred to the European theater.

Logans Hope to See Chicago Art Center
It was the hope that artists could be induced to remain in Chicago and help make this city an art center, that caused Mr. and Mrs. Frank G. Logan to give to the Art Institute an endowment of $3,200 a year for art prizes, Mr. Logan said evening. "And we hope that our little gift may lead others to make similar gifts," he said. "Chicago is a great center of manufacturing, and it ought to be the creative center."

Twin Girls Get Medal for Saving Boy's Life
DANVILLE, Nov. 19—Dorothy and Jessie Holch, twins or Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Holch of Gilman, have been awarded Ralston Purina medals for saving little Robert Wallace from drowning in a cistern. The three children were at the home of a neighbor, where Robert accidentally fell into the open basin. The two little girls threw themselves on the ground and dragged the boy out.

18 Months' Old Boy Swallows Cent; Dies
A 1-cent piece which he swallowed caused the death yesterday of eighteen-months-old Tommy Sekora of Blue Island. When he swallowed the coin Thursday no ill effects were expected, but his condition became so alarming that Friday he was brought to the German Deaconess' Hospital, where a futile operation was performed.

Mrs. Inez Boissevain Takes Turn for Better

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 19—The condition of Mrs. Inez Milholland Boissevain, the New York suffrage leader, took a turn for the better this morning. The bulletin to-night said her condition was unchanged. Her parents, husband and sister are almost constantly at her bedside.

READY TO COMPROMISE.
President Lee, when told of re t rts in Chicago that the brotherhood and railroad officials both were in a ood to compromise the whole contro rsty, replied:
"That is true, at least so far a the brotherhoods are concerned. As spokesman for the brotherhoo I made that offer last week in ew York to the general managers' onference committee. If the railr ads will agree to accept the basic e ght-hour day for men the train and yard service all other matters can be amicably adjusted.
"The overtime question is out of it. The railroad officials were not ready to give us an answer and we told them we would not seek another conference, but if they wanted to meet us again they could so inform us this week while we are in Washington.

"If we can reach an agreemen we are willing to ask for the repea of the Adamson law, as it would be of no further moment. We would ight any attempt to enact a compu sory investigation law like that in orce in Canada. An agreement would take the whole controversy out of the courts and Congress.
"We are ready to compromi on all questions except the basic ght-hour day. And no change can be made in that, as we are under instructions and would have to call a meeting of the 640 chairmen and obtain their consent. I understand the railroads are willing to increase wages in lieu of the basic work day. But that plan does not work out satisfactorily with the brakemen. They should receive a higher percentage of increase than those receiving much higher wages.

Girl Faces Death as Machine Exhausts Gasoline Supply and She Volplanes Two Miles.
BY RUTH LAW
(Written for the Chicago Examiner.)
BINGHAMTON, N. Y., Nov. 19.— I left Grant Part on the Chicago lake front at 7:25 this morning, intending to make New York to-day. I was hampered by a strong wind, which prevented my rising to the full altitude, and I was obliged to fly over Chicago at 1,000 feet. On reaching open country, however, I succeeded in rising to 5,000 feet, and kept that altitude during the flight. I had calculated my gasoline would be sufficient for six hours and planned to land in Hornell for lunch and supplies. On account of the wind my machine required more fuel before reaching Hornell, and I was obliged to volplane the last two miles to the city.
Here I had lunch, and at 3:24 rose again. The engine worked perfectly and the machine was in excellent tune. The weather was fine, but the west wind had shifted to the southwest. This hampered rather than aided me. As I approached Binghamton I realized it would be impracticable to continue the flight to-night, as the sun was setting.
At a height of 5,000 feet I observed what I took to be a fair grounds, with its race track and buildings, but which proved to be the Willis Shadpe Kilmer stock farm. The landing was very successful, and I am very much pleased with the warm reception given me. With an early start and a fair wind I hope to make New York in considerably less than two hours tomorrow. My average flight to-day was 89 miles an hour. 
I was so sure I could make New York before nightfall that I carried no instrument lights. I had removed the batteries to save weight. Now I am sorry. I could not fly at night without my instruments, so I had to stop at Binghamtom.
I shall start out aagin at 7 in the morning. Barring mishaps, I should be on Governor's Island at 9. Maybe, with a favorable breeze, I may beat that time. I'll probably take the air line, passing over Port Jarvis. I was not frightened when I hit the trees at Hornell. I'd have gone on to New York if I had light and gasoline enough. It was cold, however; very col

Driving her antiquat Curtis
"baby biplane" through a forty-five-mile gale, she flew from Chicago to Hornell—590 miles (air line) in hours and 42 minutes. She thus captured the brief honors held by Victor Carlstorm, who, on November 2, flew from Chicago to Erie, Pa., 452 miles, in an attempt similar to the one by Miss Law to-day.
 Miss Law left Chicago at 7:25 a. m. and reached Hornell at 2:07 p. m. She resumed her flight at 3:24 o'clock and covered 117 miles to Binghamton, landing here at 4:45. Her total distance was 707 miles and her total flying time 8 hours and 3 minutes.
Thrice she flew straight into the face of death. She landed at Hornell only because she had used all the gasoline in the tanks. Had her supply lasted, she would have clung to her levers until her goal had been reached at Governor's Island. She will resume the flight to-morrow morning.

FALLS FROM SEAT.
Miss Law made her first stop on the snow-quilted acres of the Hornell Fair Grounds. She fell rather than stepped out of her leather seat. A mask of ice glazed her face. Her eyes were set like those of a marionette. Her arms remained fixed at right angles as though she had not let go of the controls. It was several minutes before she could walk erect or talk.
This daring aviatrix flew at an average speed of eighty-two miles an hour. The sun was beginning to sink and the girl began to see her hopes fade. But a fierce determination possessed her. She flung her small airplane out of the high rimmed bowl in which the fair grounds lay and fled due south.

STRIKES TREE TOPS.
The hills were high and a forest of ancient oaks and spindling birches crests them. Darting wildly, she struck the tops of the tallest trees and tore her way clear. The crowds of farmer folk started forward. The girl, they thought, had lost control; had come to grief in the dense woodlands beyond the valley.
But she shot free of the trees and out into the open sky.
She had to fly by the compass, but she carried neither drifting instruments nor batteries for lights. She had expected to land in New York in daylight and had stripped the plane of its elements.
When dusk closed in she was flying due east and forcing her engine to more than 100 miles an hour. Again her gasoline tanks were being depleted. Compared with Carlstrom's great machine, her's was but a shrift of canvas and wood. She had never flown more than twenty-five miles before. 
Far below her and ahead the lights of a city appeared. She decided to land.
From 6,000 feet she volplaned toward a great field dotted by neat
