Berlin. Oct. .2s (wireless via Say
ville) .~-Commenting on Field Marshal
Won Mackensen's victories in Dobrud-
ia. the military critic Of the semi
official Transocean News Bureau writes
as follows:
by the capture OF Cernavoda Field
Marshal Won Mackensens army has
definitely turned the military situation
in Dobrudja in our favor. The right
wing of the Bulgarians. Germans and
Turks marched ahead powerfully and
advanced twenty kilometres beyond
Constanza. At that moment the cap
ture of Medjhidia was only a question
OF a few hours, as the town was
threatened in the flank. The Russo
Rpmanian position being rolled up
from the east, also the western Point
d'Appui on the Danube. Rashova, had
to be given up.
This being done. the attacking al
lies (Teutons) stood before the strong
Danube bridgehead OF Cernovada
which now had to cover the hasty re-
treat OF the defeated Russo-Ru-
manians
To-day the railroad line from Con-
stanza to Cernavoda Is completely in
the hands of the victorious allies and
forms together with rich captures OF
locomotives. railroad cars and equip
ment a first-class base for strategic
operations. The fleeing Russo Ru-
manians abandoned all this material.
They were separated into two parts.
Those who did not remain on the
battlefield or were not taken prisoners
saved themselves by flight over the
Danube bridge. After the ca pture of
carnavoda this famous bridge was
dominated by Won Mackensens can
non,
The bridge is the largest in all
Europe. 1t was completed in 1895 at
a cost of 100000. Its total length
across both branches of the Danube
and the swampy and frequently i'm
passable terrain Is seventeen kilo-
metres.
las a result Of the fall of the Con-
stanza-Cernavoda line the transporta =
ton OF provisions from Russia must
now be conducted over two minor and
less efficient railroad lines in Moldavia.
or by way of the Danube ports of
Galatz and Braila. which can by no
means be compared to Constanza. At
the same time the railroad from Con-
stanza to Bucharest, the Rumanian's
most important system for artillery
transportation, Is practically eliminat-
ed. All goods must go by way OF
Braila and Ploesti.
| "Rumania's military situation dur
ing the last two days has become
much more critical, especially since
the Germans and Austro- Hungarian
already have partly conquered the
Carpathian passes."

The first picture shows a Democratic campaign pos
ter shortly after 1t had been placed on a billboard IN
Socorro by j. Il. Vigil. the Socorro billposter, - poor
nau with a family dependent upon him
As soon as the Bursum authorities heard OF the pos
ter they communicated with Vigil, informing him that
unless the Democratic advertising Was immediately GOV.
cred up his license would b" revoked and be would never
be allowed to post another bill in Socorro.
Vigil had entered into an agreement TO display the
poster and he wanted to live up to it. But he reflected
that Bursum was all powerful in Socorro. and that any
attempt at disobedience would plunge him and his fam
fly into poverty ana distress. So he set about 10 CoTsply
with tse imperial command.
The second picture shows Vigil at work covering over
the Democratic advertising The third picture shows his
task almost completed.
II Will be noted that the Democratic poster contained
no personal references.
