Everything had assumed, as u by magic, drab colors. Tho misty rain beat against us before an Icy wind, The steep roads became perilous with llppery mud. There was no song from the soldiers thnt we passed. Dripping, soaked, they plodded wearily nnd slowly. The horses of the baggage trains seemed to feel the same waj about It. The uutombblle trucks floun dered In tho mud and many had nnr- row escapes. It Is no light task to navigate one of these glnnt cars on a crooked, slippery mountain road. On little shelves of the mountain side were smoky bivouac tires trying hard to burn. About them were drenched soldiers trying to dry their soaked enulnmcnt nnd uniforms.

Around n turn In the rond came a slowly moving, weary ox train. The oxen seemed to mind the rain less than the horses. It was the contents of the wagons these oxen pulled slowly nnd ponderously through the mud that mudo our auto slow down as wo passed them. Each wagon contnlned a num ber of wounded lying In the straw. It was In this section that the Rou manians had attempted to stop the Germnn advance by blowing up the road at three abrupt curves. They had dono their work well. Tho explo sions tore off the whole shelf on which the rond was carried. But the Ger man engineers hnd done their work equally well. They hurriedly built up a wall nt about the middle of the de stroyed rond, then dynamited away n big chunk of the overhanging moun tain side. This fell against their new abutment, and In three hours the Ger mnns were able to put artillery over tho new road. HELPS FOR HOUSEWIFE.
