Dobrudja DEVELOPMENTS,

While it is noted in the dispatches
from London and Petrograd that Rus
sian forces have Joined the Rumanians
in the Dobrudja and checked the Bulgar
invasion comes word of the capture of
another Rumanian Danube stronghold
Silistria. This indicates that the Rus
slams have not yet reached the scene of
the heaviest fighting, and have been un-
able to strengthen the Rumanians suf-
ficiently at the points of the chief Bull
gar attacks. The invasion has been
checked, it would appear, only on the
Bulgar right flank, near the sea. The
important question now is whether the
combined Rumanian and Russian force
can prevent the Bulgar army from gain
ing other Danube strongholds, thus es-
tablishing stiff line of defense against
a southern movement in invasion Of Bull
garia
Tutrakan and Silistria, however, may
not serve Bulgaria if Russia puts enough
men into the Rumanian campaign to ef-
feet aanking movement from the east.
To be Of defensive service these two
fortresses or bridge heads must be. sup
plemented to the sea, and the Bulgarian
coast itself defended against Russian at

A Doubtful "Atrocity' Charge.

4 rather fantastic story comes from
Petrograd which charges the Germans
with form Of cruelty that is difficult
to comprehend. It is alleged that, ac-
cording to testimony taken by Rus
sian commission Of inquiry, numbers of
Russian prisoners were garbed in Ger
man uniforms and marched in the rear
of the German lines in France, to de-
ceive French air scouts, who, taking them
for German reserves, dropped bombs on
them. just why Germany should take
the trouble to send large numbers Of
Russian prisoners all the way across
Germany and through Belgium into
France, matter Of several hundred
miles, with the railroads presumably
working to capacity in the transport of
German troops and supplies, in order to
have them bombed by the French is
difficult to understand. If deception of
air scouts were desired as to the num-
ber and position of reserves, and there
were German uniforms to spare for the
purpose, French and English prisoners,
it would seem, would be more con-
veniently available for this purpose.
Germany has long list Of cruelties to
answer in the summing up Of the war,
but this charge must be held as distinct
ly subject to positive proof in the face

tack. Already it is reported that the
Bulgars are quitting varna, the Bull
garian seaport, indicating heavy pres
sure upon it from tho sea or from the
north. If Rumania rallies, with Rus
sian aid, in the center, along the Danube,
and holds the Bulsar army there rela-
lively stationary, a westward movement
by the Russians, advancing from sea-
coast positions, will be distinctly dan
gerous to the Bulgar positions in the
Dobrudia. They cannot be indefinitely
held in the face Of flanking operation
which may develop into a movement
across the rear.
Thus the Dobrudja campaign offers the
most interesting possibilities today in
all the field Of the great war. In Galicia
Russia is hammering away toward Lem
berg. In Picardy the allies are ham
mering away eastward, at slower rate
The Italians are now merely nibbling at
Austrian positions in the Trentino and
in the Isonzo sector. But in the
Dobrudja are opportunities for genuine
old fashioned warfare that may quickly
develop results gravely affecting the as
peet Of the entire struggle.

at Winchester-it is familiar story in
that iatitude--of the old trainer Of run.
ming horses who, after considerable per-
suasion, had consented to attend a trot-
ting meeting and act as one Of the
judges. He took his place in the stand,
drew his watch, and made ready. He
shifted little at that sort Of sport. He
liked the short whip, the spur, and the
saddle. He was accustomed to fast time
the circle negotiated in a minute and
forty seconds, and sometimes less. He
looked somewhat scornfully at the long
whip and the sulky; and what seemed
to him the slow time-two minutes odd
was exasperating.
The nags got away to a good start,
and, for trotters, struck a great clip.
They seesawed all the way round, now
this one, now that one, showing in front.
It was regarded as a lively tilt. But
Uncle Johnny had his notions, and as
soon as the winner had been proclaimed
reached for his cane and started for the
stairs.

The Sympathetic Strike Threat.

A sympathetic strike is threatened in
New York in case the transportation
companies do not grant to their men the
full right to organize. Several hundred
thousand men, it is reported, are ready
to walk out of their places of employ
ment, in all trades, at the word Of those
in authority, based upon votes. If this
occurs New York will be plunged into
most disastrous crisis that will cost i'm
mense sums of money and probably
bring on rioting, with resultant loss of
life.
A sympathetic strike is tyrannous
measure of coercion. 1t visits loss and
suffering upon multitudes who have no
concern in the merits or the outcome of
the initial labor disturbance. 1t seeks
to invoke as partisan factors those who
are in no wise involved in the original
controversy. 1t attempts to force the
employer of machinists, for an instance,
to influence the employer Of striking
bakers to grant demands that he feels
are unjust. 1t is industrial warfare, in
short, and breeds infinite evils.
In sympathetic strike the public
loses sight of the original controversy
and becomes involved in maze of quar-
rels the only tangible effect of which is
to increase costs and to complicate liv-
ing conditions and to precipitate disor-
ders. A small minority of the members
of community can by their majority
votes in their respective organizations
bring on state of confusion that in
its essence strikes at government itself.
Organized labor has won many vic
tories for the betterment of the condi-
tions Of the industrial classes. 1t has
raised wages, reduced hours and i'm
proved working conditions. But the
greatest advances in this course of bet
terments have not been won through
strikes. As rule strike fails. A sym
pathetic strike should never succeed. It
is founded upon false reason and upon
q AiSSOA tcu SCASC VI lUy u CldSS.
If the New York situation is resolved
in consequence Of the menace of gen.
eral sympathetic strike surrender will
have been made to force Such pros
pect makes partisans of citizens who
ordinarily take no sides in these quar-
rels. Men who respect law, who recog-
nize the right of labor to quit work if
conditions are not acceptable, but who
deny the right of men to force other
men to stop working whose conditions
are satisfactory, are enrolled by SYM
pathetic strike against the forces of or.
ganized labor. Public sympathy cannot
be retained, however just the cause of
the original strike may be, if an army
of satisfied workmen is summoned into
the field by invocation Of the rigid rules
of the organization.

buckle to their tasks with the greatest
energy. Everything that organizing, ad-

be done. On both sides everybody has
been called to the colors, and everybody
is responding. All indications are for a
large vote. Hence, whatever the verdict,

Mr.. Hughes and His Gait ;

In opening the democratic campaign
az Winchester, KY, Saturday, Vice Presi-
dent Marshall said:
NOT only the keen-eyed newspaper
man, but the everyday citizen, is won
dering what is the matter with the
speeches of the leader in the verbal as
sault against the administration. Those
most charitably inclined in their judg-
ment toward others suggest that, per
liaps. he has not yet struck his gait But
IN this blue grass region / need not re-
mind you that horse that does not
strike his gait during the first quarter
rever finishes under the wire a winner"
This was trotting horse talk to a run
ming horse audience. 1t is the trotter
which. behaving badly in the first quar-
"breaking," and showing instability
Of gait-fails to finish first under the
wire. Fretfulness at the start is a bad
sign in a trotting nag, and discourages
hope Of success in fast company.
But the runner strikes his gait in his
first jump from the post. He may not
lead in the first quarter. He may be un-
der pun for drive in the last quarter,
after others have pumped themselves
eut in the three-quarters. In running
race il is sometimes the case that the
last nag TO swing into the home stretch
is the first nag home.
Mr.. Hughes is not pumping himself
out in the first quarter. He wants to
go the mile in good form, and be strong
at the finish. And even his opponents
eoncede that he is doing better now than
when the drum tapped and he started.
Mr.. Marshall had probably never
