Roumania's failure to withstand the Anstro-German offensive in Transyl vania is to be ascribed, according to Joseph Wirth, correspondent of the Lokal Anzeiger, principally to thef lack of high trajectory and mountain artillery and to inferior leadership. The subsidiary causes, the corre spondent says, are the lack of barbed wire for entanglements, the adher ence to old style Russian trenches that cave in disastrously with the ar rival of the first shell, and the lack of equipment for. many of the troops, as well as telephone material, wagons and aviators. The correspondent continues: ' "The Roumanians have not even adopted the almost universal trans portable kitchen wagon, but still are carrying food to the troops at the front in cans stowed on lumbering wagons. "The Roumanians fight far better when defending their own territory than when on the offensive. They looked for a short, decisive campaign, and were unprepared for a long fight. "The Roumanian officers all carry and study religiously a general staff book on lessons learned from the war, but they seem to be unable to apply them practically." ' Will Ask Congress' To Pass Amendment ", On Direct Voting Portland, Ore., Nov. 20. Senator Georore E. Chamberlain", who left to night for Washington, announced that at the coming session of congress he will introduce a proposed constitu tional amendment providing for the- election of president by direct vote of the people. -His Intention, he said, is to get the amendment under way Sromptly, so that it may be acted on y congress and, if adopted there, by the legislatures of the various states in time to become effective for the next presidential election. - "The recent election demonstrated more strongly than ever the desira bility of electing the president by direct vote," said Senator Chamber lain. "If five thousand votes in Cali fornia had been changed that state would have gone for Hughes and he would have been elected, notwith standing 400,000 more votes were cast in the nation for Wilson tham for Hughes. Another time the present system might worfc- to the. disadvan tage of the other party." Senator Chamberlain; who is chairman of the senate committee on military affairs, said he would also at the coming session put forward a measure providing for universal mili tary service. Favors Are Shown to Soldiers Who Have Number of Children Berlin, Nov. 20. (By Wireless to Sayville. Lieutenant General von Stein, the German war minister, to day announced that in future special consideration would be given to sol diers, whose families had already suffered heavy losses by the war.

Owner May Have Jug If He Will Return Car An unscrupulous thief who appar ently believes that any kind of an ex change is a fair trade if you get away with it, swapped an empty brown jug for one perfectly good flivver belong ing to Glen W. Smith, assistant cashier of the State Bank of Omaha, but it was without Mr. Smith's per mission. The miscreant pried his way into Mr. Smith's garage at the rear of his home at 5407 Florence boule vard, chiseling the guarding lock, and chiseled a second Yale lock on the car.

The thief got away, however, but he hd to make such a speedy departure that he left the brown pug behind. Mr. Smith says he is willing to return the jug if the owner would call for it. i Pive Boys Drown in y Minnesota Slough Hastings, Minn., Nov. 20.

MAYOR ANNOUNCES CLERK What sort of people will get to Heaven and what sort won't, was in substance the subject of Dr. R. L. Wheeler's sermon Sunday morning at the Wheeler Memorial church. Dr. Wheeler denounced infidelity of church members today referring to the Apostle Paui, who after con version, really "practiced what he preached." 1 have seen many ot you men, the pastor said, "leave the grave of your wife, mother or children with tears in your eyes, realizing the great wrongs of the world and your own guilt, make promises to live a better life, and yet you never have. All of you fall into the same practice doing lieither what the Savior had preached nor improving on your tormer con duct. The fact of the matter is that this world has become so ridden by commercialism, the love for money, that the church stands in uncertain position.. "I am myself a thousand leagues from the gates of Heaven if the distance could be estimated. Yet we ministers are 'builders on the wall.' We build and build, hope and hope until our hearts are worn to nothing. The inaction of unbelief has made our problem harder yet ever 'we are build ers on the wall.' And so you must be. "God Almighty gave the peoples of the earth the world. They are his gift He created them. We only make the things we have. It. is only by sin that a few come to have much and the many to have little. So L say unto you forget yourthought of commercialism and come unto Christ for he ,can give you rest." Learn to Blow Glass.

TOO MANY SEES EXCUSES Why don't more people go to church? Rev. A. F. Ernst, pastor of Lowe Avenue Presbyterian church, asked and answered this question in his sermon Sunday morning. "Probably 300 church services arc held in Omaha every Sunday, and I doubt if one person in every ten in Omaha attends any church service," he said. "This applies equally to other cities. In Europe it was esti mated before the war that only one person in every 130 went to church. "Especially are the evening serv ices neglected. In New York City some time ago it was found that even in the great churches with many members there were only thirty, forty or fifty attendants at evening services, in spite of the fact that ministers were able and music extraordinary. Church Not a Failure. "This does not mean that the church is a failure. Far from it. The church never had finer equipment, better organization, more able min isters1 than it has today, and I be lieve more people are attending church today than ever before. Espe cially noticeable is the increased in terest among men. The fact re mains that the majority of the peo ple do not attend. "The great variety of amusements which are open on Sunday is, per haps, partly responsible for small church attendance. But the great reason is that people do not want to attend. They seek excuses for re maining away, but do not give good reasons. The men in the parable who were invited to the feast excused themselves by various means. Teday they may excuse themselves by sav ins' thev have bought an automobile, they have taken up golf or they are entertaining company Sunday eve nings. To Church to Develop. "Man needs to develop the spiritual side of his nature just as ne must de vetoo the Dhvsical and mental sides And the best olace to develop the soirirual is in God's house. There are many good men, splendid citizens, Kidney Disorder (By Dr. L. C. Babcock.) Simple methods are usually the most effective ones when v treating any disorder of the human system. The mere drinking a cup of hot water each morning, plenty of pure water all day, and a little Anurie before every meal has been found the most effective means of overcoming kid ney trouble. Death would occur if the kidneys did not work day and night in separating poisons and uric acid from the, blood. The danger signals are backache, depressions, aches, pains, heaviness, drowsiness, irritability, headaches, chilliness, rheumatic twinges, swollen joints, gout It is such a simple matter to step into your favorite drug store and ob tain Anuric, which was first discover ed by Dr. Pierce, of the Surgical In stitute, Buffalo, N. Y. Every druggist dispenses it. All people in America and especial ly those who are past middle age are prone to eat too much meat, and in eonsequence deposit uric acid (uratic salts) in their tissues and joints. They often suffer from twinges of rheu matism or lumbago, sometimes from gout, swollen hands or feet. Such people are not always able to exercise sufficiently in the outdoor air in order to sweat freely and excrete im purities through the skin. Anuric will overcome such conditions as rheuma tism, dropsical swellings, cold ex tremities, scalding and burning urine and sleeplessness due to constant need of getting out of bed at night, by carrying off the uric acid poison.

They may not notice that thev are stunting their spiritual natures, but that is what they are doing. A great need of the church loday is a greater personal regeneration, instead of too much sociology and social service, things all right, but incidental to Christliness. Men and women need, also, a greater felling of personal responsibility. We do too many of our duties by proxy nowa days. "People can't afford to neglect the church. It is the great instillcr of the civic conscience. Would vou want to live in a community where there are no churches and no people who go to church?
