i The news of the fall was received with sor- row and mortification here, although it has been regarded as inevitable. "We understand perfectly," says the Petite Journal, "what the Rumanians are suliermg, for we loo have suffer ed the sorrows of defeat. We suffer all the more since we realize that, we are partly responsible for the catastrophe, which was not entirely due to the military sterugth of the enemy." The paper says that the capture of Bucharest will only spur Rumania ami her allies to renewed efforts. The commentators make the point, that the Rumanians having abandoned Bucharest, have now a much shorter line which their armies, having emerged intact from the claws of Ihe German enveloping movement, have a good chance of holding until the allies come to their relief. Bui it is agreed thai Willi Ihe fall of Ploechii there appears no possibility of saving Ihe oil fields, which is the worsl feature of Ihe sitnalion.

Some consolation is derived from Swiss dispatches which say that, notwithstanding the Rumanian victories, the Xlerman UHl mark hill jfell to SO marks on the Zurich Bourse, Ihe lowest price since the beginning of Ihe war, CA It AN, A A1THOVCS PROTOCOL.

dl is Ex-Senator Root Says Women Should Not he Aliened to Vote. Washington, Dee. 7. Former Senator Root, in a paper read here today at the opening session of the anti- suffrage convention, outlined his reasons for opposition to the proposed constitutional amendment for suffrage "I am against having the constitu tion amended so as to impose woman suffrage on the states which do not wish for it. not merely or chiefly tie-cause my judgment docs not approve of woman suffrage, but for a much more vital reason.

It is a destruction of the right of self-government and a subjection of the people of New York to the government of others. Havivg failed in such states as South Dakota, West Virginia, Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania, the advocates of suffrage now seek to compel such states to accept it against their will and to com-j pel them to carry on their local government and send representatives to congress in conformity to the desires of people of other states who favor suffrage. "Without the right of local self government we should lose the better nart of our liberty. This country is so vast, the difference in climate, physical characteristics, capacity for production, in industries ami habits of living and thinking, are so great, that there are necessarily wide differences of view, and to subject any section to the dictation of the vast body of voters in another part of the country vuinu approximate lyrnuny. it is needless to argue that this would ultimately destroy the nation.

"The one exercise of national powi over suffrage to prevent discrimination against the black race was made and justified only on the same grounds hich justified the war and the emancipation proclamation; it establishes no precedent and establishes no claim of control for a less terrible and less compelling cause."

S. by conspiring to destroy munitions of war destined for the entente allies, continued to be the center of interest when court convened today. Theodore Roche, one of the counsel ioi me uuieiise, yestruay caused ai stir by acknowledging Smith's employment by the consulate but saying mat ins duties were not ot the nature claimed by the government. He said that Smith and C. C.

Croly, one of the defendants, were employed to gather data and information about the shipments of the war as grounds for protest to the state de partment on violations of American neutrality. Complaints to the state department based on information by Smith and Croly actually were forwarded to the state department through the German embassy at Washington, according to Roche. The prosecution placed witnesses on the stand today to show that Smith's consideration for neutrality did not conform to the claims of the defense. It is not expected that Smith will be placed on the stand. It is expected that the state will try to show that the defendants actually made payments for the planting of dynamite bombs in a cargo of munitions.
