This was the flrst move of the cor¬ porations to have collieries operate on holidays and .Sundays and in this way make up tor the coal shortage of the Present Plans Would Deprive Parade of Military Aspect and Lend Civilian Tone WOMEN TAKE PART Washington, Nov, Iii.—There'll be sev-en tons less gold braid, swords, guns and pistoN and general observance of prancing cavalry horses in the second inaugural parade of President Wilson ne>;t .VI arch. The *peetai-iilai- event, iisiiiiily ipark- ed by the presence of thousands of I ncle Sam .s fitiesl fighiers in full leg'- mental iinifurms, promises this lime tu cons-ist largely of civilians. This was the outlook I'onighi as Cliairmkn .Vlct'ormick struggles with markets experienced al this time, and j the difficult problem of naming a chair- whlch is believed will result in a coal' famine befoie many weeks have passed, .Vlthotigh the officials of the collieries did not ask the men and buys to work on Sundays, it is the common belief among the mine employi'es that had 'liey agreed to worii next Thursday, an¬ other request to assist in operating the mines un the Sabbath would be the ne-^ct move of the eoal companies. If one company t^taried a holiday and Sunday operation, tlie other companies would, ill all probability, lull in line. 'i'he operator.-, in statemenls issued lhe past few da.> s laid the threatened '•oal famine at the doors of the mine local unions, blaming also the eight- liour day, The.v say the one-hour less in the vvorkday has proved a big handicap lo Ihem in getting oul the coal as in prev-- louM vears.

In addition to these there was ap¬ parently no let-up in the pressure to be expected from Hungary southward on the Transylvanian Alps. 11 is evi¬ dent that the Teuotns are combining their forces for a tremendously power¬ ful drive on Bucharest, Accepting all the Teutonic allies' statements as cor¬ rect, (;erman or Bulgarian troops are now- distant from Bucharest as follows: Islands in the DanuVie claimed by Sofia to have been occupied by their forces al Guergevo, 36 miles due south of Bucharest. i Crossing of the Danube in Dobrudja ' and "gaining of a foothold on Rou- j manain soil''—claimed by Berlin— ' probably not more than 65 miles dis- i tant, j Crossing of the lower .Vlt river, claim¬ ed by Berlin—probably 90 miles distant. Fighting in the Transylvanian .Vlps I still hotly in progress makes the Teu- jtons 90 miles distant at the north from the Roumanian capital. Roumanians Forced Back. Petrograd today threw- some light on what must be the efforts of the Rou¬ manian forces which Berlin claims" to have ejected from Orsova, Turna-Sev- erin and Craiova lo break through the circle of the enemy. It reported a forc¬ ed retirement of the Roumanians be¬ hind the Oltete river. It admitted a retreat southwards in the .•Vlt valley. il confirmed crossing of the Danube b.v the Bulgarians near Simnitza. in view of these statements, military experts believed the Germanic plan of campaign now- stood revealed. While v-on Falkenhayn squeezesc his circle tighter, compelling the Roumanians to retreat nearer and nearer to the south¬ ern border, the Bulgarians are suddenly thrown in force at the Danube bound¬ ary line, in efforts to cul off this Rou¬ manian avenue of escape, while at the same time menacing Bucharest. The Roumanian official statment de¬ clared the Bulgarian adv-ance from Simnitza and Islaz iprobably Islazu > had been arrested successfully. Berlin admitted 'tenacious" resistance from the forces which von Falkenhayn is at¬ tempting to encircle, Whal was of most hope here in the situation was tlie fact that none of the Teutonic Allies' statements have yet claimed any con¬ siderable capture of prisoners nor of war materials, indicating success of the Roumanians so far in eluding the enemy's vise.

move of the eoal companies. If one company t^taried a holiday and Sunday operation, tlie other companies would, ill all probability, lull in line.
