Tho war Is approaching n decisive stage
and tho decision will rest with the cam
paign In Transylvania nnd Rumania. Such
Is tho export military viewpoint here.
As summed up today by a well-informed
mllltnry authority, tho situation Is:
"Tho trlangulnr loss nt Ancro does not af
fect the Somnia battle as a whole. Viewing
nil tho war theatera, the whole war has now
reached a period of tension. Tho solution
Is drawing near. When this shall come
depends upon the progress of tho present
fighting In the Rumanian passes. Wo aro
making progress there, but the mountain
difficulties nro grenter than In Serbia, Onco
General Falhonhayn crosses, my guess Is
tlio decision will come. How long this
will' tako wo do not know but one must
be patient nnd await coming developments."

St, Mary's Hospital, Frankford avenue
and Palmer street, with 160 patients, suf
fered no Inconvenience, went right on with
bathing, and washing operations. Water

needed, while the hospital authorities re
port that people living In the neighborhood
about tho hospital "had a fearful time, run-
.nlng- everywhere to get water."
The Frankford Hospital, by a like coin
oldenoe, had no trouble., while employes at
the hospital, living on Peon street, few
blocks away, reported that they had no
water for baths before going to work this
morning.
While the area covered by the famine
depends upon the high pressure system for
