The enforcement of the jitney ordi¬ nance haa been the chief topic of con- veraation on the street. I.Ast nlghi atorles were going the rounds that the Jitney men would collect the fares out¬ side the city limits and then carry pas¬ sengers to the central city, claiming that their state license gives them this privilege. Othera aay that carrying paaaenxera free of charge will be a loop hole about which thev can work, claiming that the ordinance specifically attttes "operating for hire." Mayer Confident,
Mayor Kosek In speaking to The Independent over the phone from his Dallas summer home said these tricKS will not evajde the law. They have been tried In other rltles and found wanting, and will not pass here. The city is prepared t-j curry out every mandate of the ordinance nnd arrests will be made, he said, ot all drivers who do not carry the necessary credentials.
The Allied Trade Councils mean to assist the Jltneura In their battle for existence. A committee of leaders of the Central Labor I'nion met with the jitneymen late yesterday aftemoon and last night, and it is said Interviewed several of the Councilmen In an effort to have the law modified that many of the buses can operate. Tonight the representatives of the Allied Trade Councils will meet at Union Hall. At this lime, it is expected, a fund will be raised to help the movement of fight¬ ing the cit.N in the hi.gher courts. It is the understanding the local unions throughout the viilley will he asked to contribute some to build this fund.

British  Suceesies.
The Balkan situation is practically unchanged as the result of the last 48 hours of flghting. Berlin dispatches admit that Russian and Roumanian re- inforeement.<! have brought a halt, tem¬ porarily at least, to the German-Bul- sjarian Invasion of southeastern Rou¬ mania.
In a great smash agalnat the German lines north of the Somme on a front of 6,000 yards, (about three and one- half miles) this aftemoon, the British carried the remainder of the vil!,<jge of Glnchy an^ scored other Important suc¬ cesses. General Halg reported nt mid¬ night.
Northeast of Pozieres, another great smash   gained   600  yards.     British  ar-
supposed to have gone out of style in politics al least a couple of decades ago, bu* .hey have been revived throughotil Maine. Hughes has wit¬ nessed a couple of them and the Demo¬ crats ha\ien't been outdone in dupli¬ cating the stunt for their orators. Hughea a Whirlwind.
The Republican nominee to-day swept down through the State in regu¬ lar whirlwind fashion. scattering speeches all along the line. He brought out a new issue to-night,— e.xcorlatlon of the l->emocratic shippin.g bill as destnictive to an American In¬ dustry. That it was popular in Maine waa evidenced by the cheers with which the candidate waa greeted.
He mixed this criticism of the ship¬ ping bill with a powerful plea for selec¬ tion of the Republican party as dlrec- Jtor of the natioti'* destinies, that, the protective i-iriff principle inay be re- i.ewed and a denunciatory assault on region.

Bucharest, Sept. 9.—Striking sudden blows against the German-Bulparlan invaders, the Russo-Roumanian forces have driven the enemy back several miles. re-cai)turing the city of Dobric and Dobasci, it was officially announc¬ ed   tonight.

At the same lime the Roumanian right wing, resuming its forward swing into Transylvania, occupied five towns with but slight resistance. These were Ola Toplitza, San Mllai, Delne, Gyur- glurgen and Senmleleau.      ,, ,

CAPTAIN GOODWIN INDICTED,
A Friend of Labor.
Because President Samuel Gqmpers, of the American Federation of TLabor. has been campaigning for the acmo- crats here with continuous hlasts against Hughes' labor record, the Re¬ publican candidate took particular pains in every one of his speeches to rcitrraf^ his frirndllness to labor and his advocacy of bettor wages, better working conditions and various con¬ crete legislation which he supported.
Hughes' most complete indictment of the Democralir shipping bill was in this language: "If rates are exorbitant they can be controlled. Monopoly can be prevented. Let us correct any pos¬ sible abuses we hnve in this country, but let na have opportunities for Am¬ erican- enterprises to continue. Dis¬ crimination can be dealt with. Those matters   furnish   no   ground   whatever

Probabilities of great confusion smong workera and business men who must reach offices, stores and <ihopf In this city tomorrow morning, are the principal outcome of Mayor Kosek's de¬ cision, announced last night, to com¬ pel jitneya to comply wilh the "ponding ahd insuring ordinance or keep off the city atreets The call for State troop- era and the appointment of Frank Hochreiter and a c<.)rps of assistants to the task of inspecting all aulo, traffic between this city and outlying pointa tomorrow morning Indicates that jit¬ neya that have not been bonded—and not one of them haa been—will be com¬ pelled to deposit paasengeri^ at the city Une, where they may lake their choice of other conveyances or walk.
The likelihood of trouble resulting ia apparent.    Jitney men have   indicated their Intention to go on doing business and^he Mayor has made plain his de¬ sire to put the bonding ordinance into effect without    further    delay.

Jitneymen and leaders of the Allied Tradea Council will atrive to meet the teat that haa been brought to bear on them and If a court order Is obtained against the Mayor's enforcement of the power gtven him by the Ctty Commla- sionera an attempt will be made to spread the news throughout the Valley.
