BERLIN Sept. 5.—The Ruman-
ians have been checked on both
wings of the invasion of Transylva-
nia and are retiring before the fier-
tunnnd Austrian invaders of South-
ern Rumania. A Bucharest dis-
pell reported a halt in the Ru-
manian advance near Orsevo on the
extreme Austrian right wing. After
withdrawing from the west bank of
theCerna river the Austrians ward-
ed off all Rumanian attacks. Aus-
tiian artillery tore great gaps in
the Ramanian line. In the nortb on
the Austriun left the Rumanians
crossed the mountain opposed only
by the Austrian rearguard but when
they attempted to force their w ay
icroes the Maros river they were
badly defeated by artillery fire. In
the center where the Austrians at-
tempted to make a strong stand the
Rumanian advance made little pro-
gress.
The Budapest newspaper Az Kst
reported that the Rumanians had
been unable to follow up their ad-
vantage in this region because of
the transportation system falling
down under bad conditions of mod-
em warfare.

Rv ('HAS. W. GROAT.
WASHINGTON. Sept 5. Govern-
ment ownership of railway* anil oth-
er public utilities I* coming in the
opinion of A. H. Garret non. loader
of the four brotherhood* In their
flghi for an eight-hour day.
Avoidance of the strike through
government interference i* only one
of a series of steps to such an end.
“Ten years hence" said t»arret-
son w ill see a mighty stride toward
government ownership and operation
of all the railway* in the country
as well as other public utilities 11
believe in such a program after mi-1
ture reflection. Also I have decided i
views as to the dangers in govern-
ment ownership but sentiment In'
that direction is steadily growing.
The settlement of the strike was
Just another course in the struc-
ture."
Garretson explained that some of
the roads might try to croatc a bal-
ance on the wrong side of the led-
ger as a result of government regu-
lation.
Commenting on (iarretson's Inter-
view one of |he foremost experts
said:
"His statement that the settlement
of the strike was one of the courses
of the structure Is mild. It appears
that this about completes the whole
structure. It certainly brought the
situation ten years nearer to reali-
zation.”

By .1. P. YODKR.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 5. The al-
lied diplomats In Washington are
protesting against the retaliatory leg-
islation already In action by con-
gress to offset the British black list
of certain American firms. Tho sen-
ate today got In two more blows %t
the British through Ihc adoption of
amendments to tho revenue bill
which nre likely some officials be-
lief to result In official objection
taking the place of private though
positive protest that certain diplo-
mats have voiced.
The first act today was the pas-
sage of Senator Thomas' amendment
to the revenue bill empowering the
president to retaliate against any
belligerent commerce ship that dis-
criminates against American ship-
pers and exporters.
The second was the adoption of
Senator Thelan's amendment to the
same measure refusing the use of
the United States mall or its facili-
ties and other Interstate express
wireless telegraph or cable to bel-
ligerent companies who discriminate
against American firms.
Both amendments explicitly em-
power the president to take these
steps “whenever during the existence
of war in which the United Stutes
Is engaged the president shall he sat-
isfied there is reasonable ground to
believe discrimination is practiced “
Violations of both the proposed
laws ure punishable by fines of $10-
000 and Imprisonment for a term of
two years or both. Both laws an*
admittedly retaliatory measures
against Great Britain's black list an 1
seizure of mails.
The Thomas amendment was
drawn with the approval of the state
department and empowers the presi-
dent to use the land and naval forces
