BERLIN (via Sayville wireless),

Bralla and Galatz are near the grasp
Of the United Ninth and Danube
armies, Strong Bulgarian forces
trossed the Danube to Feteshtl, on
a 4 bridge which the Russiags threw
across the river, enabling other rein
forcements to converge northeast of
Bucharest.
The only impediment preventing a
still llveller pace is occasioned In
the rain-stalled roads. Snow in the
Transylvanian Mountains impeded
the rounding up of stragglifig rem
hants of the Roumanian forces.
The invading forces continue to
find unlimited supplies of stored

At the end of the last Balkan war
the kingdom totaled 137,002, square

many machine guns, as well as 200,

there were several expert bank tellers

A Capacity Audience.
It was one of the bhiggest crowds
that ever has tested at the Audito

a few occasions, not more than four
or five, when every seat was filled
and many persons gtood. There were
a hundred or two empty seats Sunday
in the “behind the sight line” sections
of the balconies, and there were about
an equal number of “standees.” The
Auditorium contains 6500 seats, one
of the Music Festival directors says,
and so 6500 seems an accurate esti

(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—Severa:
weeks probably will elapse hefore the
‘administration will urge upon Eng
land and its allles grave and earnest
consideration of the Teutonic offer to
discuss peace.
Several reasons were assigned to
day for this fact by those in touch
with the President, The principal rea
sons for withholding immediate ac
tion by the American Governglent, it
was sald, .are these:
1. To give the Entente Governments
time to discuss the German offer
2. To minimize the risk of a rebuff
’whvn the Amerjcan note of sugges
tion is received in the Entente capi
tals.
8 To live up to the request of the
Central Powers that the United States
merely forward the peace offer to thelir
enemies,
4. To have time to ascertain unofti
clally, through American diplomatic
agents, how the American suggestion
will be received,
Basing their belief that the time for
action by the United States is not
ripe on the attitude indicated by the
action of t he Russian Duma recently,
administration officials, backed by the
advice of neutral diplomats here, are
counseling delaying the contemplated
action of the United States. It is
hoped that the feeling in Pettograd
may be shaped, through the influence
of London and Paris, to admit of at
least discussion of the peace offer of
its enemies
As yet the administration has no
definite assurances that the countries
of the Entente have varied from their
position, made known unofficially te
representatives of the United States.
that a peace suggestion from the
United States would be embarrassing.
The White House will await the as
surances of this head before acting, it
Is sald. To this end American agents
in all of the nations of the Entente
will seek to learn just when a note
from Washington, urging at least dis
cussion of the Teutonic offer, would
be most acceptable,
Regardiess of the ultimate attitude
of the Governments of the Entente
allles toward this contemplated action
by the administration, it is regarded
here as absolutely sure that it will be
done eventually, The note will be
sent, oMcials close to the Prestdent
said today, on the theory that a neu.
tral that has suffered harm at the
hands of belligerents on both sides
the United Siates has the right to
express its desires in the present crf
sis, and also that as the leading neu
tral of the world America has this

ROME, Dec. 18.—It is asserted that

&t the German Chancellor's proposal
for peace, regarding both its sub
stance and form.
It seams that the Vatican expected
Germany to offer a more definite pro
