A far as comment at von Falkenhayn's
headquarter I concerned, tho situation of
the Central Ppwera against Rumania la re
garded a excellent All five passes are now
in German and Austrian handa
LONDON. Nov.. 27.
News from German sources caused a
renewnl of hope here today that Rumania
may, after all, extricate herself from the
precarious position In which her Wallachlan
forces have been placed by Von Falken
hayn's concededly brilliant strategic, cam
paign. Of prime basis for this hops was the utter
laak In all tho German ofllclat "reports of
any claims of largo captures of prisoners
of war and munitions. If tho Rumanian
army had actually been trapped by ths
encircling around Orsova and Turnu-Sev-ertn,
reaching over to Craiova, It was re
garded ns certain tha Berlin onlclal re
ports would have chronicled big captures
of men and supplies. Furthermore, It Is
known hero that the Rumanians succeeded
In removing all of their artillery from
Craiova before that city felt Into the hands
of the enemy.
One other source, of hope was tho report
from German correspondents at Von Falk
enhayn's headquarters that further progress
beyond the Alt was delayed becaiise of the
condition of the roads,
Both of theao bits of news led military
experts hero to reconstruct a story of an
orderly retreat of tho Rumanian forces
from tho angle on which two arms of tho
Teutonic forces are now exercising pressure.
There waa no disposition, however, to dis
guise the fact that Rumania la still peril
ously placed.
Reports hero say that a number of allied
aviators have reached Bucharest. It Is
believed also that Russia has by this time
poured heavy reinforcements Into Ru
mania, probably Including a largo number
of cannon.. The greatest handicap which
the Rumanians have had was their lack
of aerial scouts to seek out and report
the sort of encircling movements which
have formed tho basis for Von Falken
hayn's success. Their artillery also has

your respondent given full credit for all

Wood, In his onHwer, concludes In part
ns follows:
This respondent avers that by rea
son of the construction of said con
tracts nnd of the status of affairs of
tho Pension Mutual Life Insurance
Company by the Insurance Department
or Pennsylvania that It la erroneously
charged with reserve liability nnd with
capital stock for a large amount ; this
respondent believes nnd therefore, avers
that upon n proper construction of said
contracts and a fair and reasonable
examination Into Its affairs that the
conclusions arrived at by the court will
result In writing off a reserve liability
of approximately $ U0. 000.
This respondent further avers that
the rcservo liability as calculated by
the Stnto Department of Insurance on
tho policies which tt has Issued as dis
tinguished from the reserve liabilities
mentioned In the preceding paragraph,
Is greatly .In excess of the rcservo lia
bility as calculated by the actuaries of
this respondent and greatly In excess
of thn amount provided for by the
statute.
This respondent furthers avers that
