TWO MORE TOWNS DOOMED TO FALL Teuton Advance in Rumania Forces Russ Out of fialatz and Focsani. London. Jan. 7. Calatz and Foc sani appeared tonight to be domed to imminent occupation by (Jermany's from the smith and west. The Rus mania. Cialatx apparently was under bombardment 1-y Teutonic cannon. Focsani is menaced by strong forces from the south and west. The Ruc sian onieial statement gave some hint of the prodigal massing of men and desperate attacks which the (Germans are ee:ting hero. Despite the (ierman success on the front an 1 Calat and Focsani, it was pointed or.t by military experts that the oilicial statement from both sides apparently indicated a successful re sistance by tho Russians to what is probably tho most serious German rat naee to tho allies' forces in Ru mania the attempt to flank the Russian-Rumanian armies by a thrust eastward fiom tin; Slonika Cituz and Tr m a - A-;i.lloys. Tito Rii-rian statement detailed a sliglit withdrawal, but a later stop page of the enemy advance. Some idea of the ferocity of the fighting over all this Rumanian and Dobrudjan terirtory is hinted at in the use twice in the Petrograd state ment of the descriptive phrase, '"bay oneted and prisonerod." i;inK?y Fiifhtin;. Previous Ilerlin statements have been profuse in such terms as "storm ing in hand to hand battles." Tho Petrograd statement declared the Russian forces . voluntarily aban doned Prai'.a. The Berlin statement asserted that Russians destroyed "a majority of the Rumanian factory es tablishments" in that city indicating that the Germans found the town of scant valio to them. Along the northern frontier of Dob rudja the advantage 'in the fighting will be Ct'i tinctly with the Russian de fenders. The terrian i broke into numberless rivers, ponds, lakes and swamps, capable of easy defense and offering the hardest sort of obstacles to the attackers. Presumably the Rus sian retirement from liralia was to long prepared defensive positions along this line and this line, it was pointed out tonight, will probably be along Russian soil. Apparently there has been fierce furhting along the northwestern front south of Riga. Here the Russians ap pear from the official statements to have achieved a considerable measure of success. A RIG WOLF HUNT. The residents of the territory in the vicinity of Eight Mile Grove held a wolf hunt this morning and were quite lucky in their efforts, as five of the animals were bagged by the boys. The attendance was not large, but the members of the party did some good work in rounding up the wolves. On Monday, January 15th, Jack Philpot has arranged to hold another hunt, and this will be held five miles south of the Eight Mile Grove precinct line. All the farmers are invited to get into the big hunt. Read the Evening: Journal, pnts a wpek. Only 10 Catarrh Cannot Be Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease.

Reply to Wilson Note Scheduled This Week, Numerous Reports Indicate. Washington, I). C, Jan. 7. Indica tions increased in allied diplomatic circles here today that the allied re ply to President Wilson's peace note, while following in the main the reply to the central powers, will have some additional features calculated to make it more clear whether a continuance of the negotiations is desired. If the allied governments are deter mined to press the war to a military solution, it is expected that they will leave no doubt that futrther exchanges at this time will not be welcomed; if not, the reply is expected to leave tho door open for additional corre spondence. The meeting of the allied premiers in Rome today was regarded here as of great importance because the en tente governments were expected to ake the opportunity to discuss their whole fundamental attitude toward peace and particularly America's part in securing peace. The decision reached is expected to be final so long as the military situa tion remains unchanged. Whether the entente reply to the American note will be forwarded to the central powers is an open question still. It is said such action would be en tirely permissible diplomatically. The reply is expected by the end of next week, reports to both the state depart ment and the allied embassies being indefinite as to the exact time, but in dicating its imminence. There has been no indication whether Spain's unfavorable reply to the president's note saying the present movement is deemed inopportune for peace efforts would be made public by ine state department. It was received here shortly after its publication in Madrid. Officials say the text is sub stantially the same as that contained in cabled reports. REWARD FOR POISONER. Somo person or persons in the south part of the city hus in the past few days been busy distributing poison around in that section of the city, with the result that several val uable dogs, including the one belong ing to EJ Mason, and the latest vic tim is the fine thoroughbred spaniel of Dr. Sandin, which was poisoned last night. The animal was a very valuable one and Dr. Sandin is offer ing a reward of $10 for the arrest and conviction of the person admin istering the poison. This is a very grave offense in the eyes of the law and makes one liable to imprisonment and in addition, is just about as con temptable a piece of work ah human being can possibly carry- out. GOOD FRIEND A good friend stands by you when in need. Plattsmouth people tell how Dean's Kidney Pills have stood the test. Mr. Tower endorsed Doan's over three years ago and again con firms the story. Could you ask for more convincing testimony? O. II. Tower, carpenter, Vine street, Plattsmouth, says: I suffered from a dull, heavy pain in the small of my back. It got so bad I had to get on my knees and straighten myself up gradually after I once got down. There was also difficulty with the ac tion of my kidneys. The kidney secre tions were much retarded in passage. Doctors told me I was troubled by stone in my bladder and gave me only temporary relief. After taking one box of Doan's Kidney Pills, I noticed the trouble was beginning to disap pear, and in a short time my health began to improve in every way." (Statement given April 10, 1912.) On February 23, 191G, Mr. Tower said: "You can continue using my name as you have in the past when it comes to recommending Doan's Kid ney Tills. I am a strong believer in this old, reliable kidney medicine." Price 50c, at all dealers.

Leaders of the socialist party and the socialist labor party failed tonight for the third time to restore unity between the two parties. A deadlock arose over the question if industrial unionism and how it should be treated by the united party. The socialist labor party delegates were strongly in favor of having the united party support industrial union ism, but they desired condemnation of craft unionism. The socialist delegates, while" not opposed to industrial unionism, con tended that the socialist party ought not to interfere with labor unions.
