'<ohoOhs wv. GO."lu Tie lace OF
continued violent attacks by the Teu-
tonic allies in Dobrudja, from the
Danube to the Black sea, Rumanians
and Russians are falling back
Toprai Sari and Cobadin have been
taken by the combined Austrian, Ger
man, Bulgarian and Turkish forces.
RepuIsed With Bayonets.
On the Pennsylvania front hard but
indecisive fighting continues in the
mountain passes, Petrograd says the
Rumanians have been forced back in
the Buzeu valley. Bucharest, how
ever, does not concede this, assert
ing that Teutonic counter attacks
were repulsed at the point of the
bayonet.
The battle of the last week along
the Narayuvka river in Galicia has
resulted in an important victory for
the Austro-German forces over Rus
slams, according to Berlin. Here the
Russians now hold only a small part
OF the front on the west bank of the
river after a general attack by the
Teutonic allies between Svitelniki and
Skomovechy. Petrograd says, how
ever, that the fighting is still going
on and that the positions have chang
ed hands several times.
Teuton Attacks Fall.
Twice during Sunday-in the morn
ing and in the afternoon-Germa
launched violent attacks against the
positions newly won by the French
in the Chaulnes wood, south of the
Somme. Both attacks were repulsed.
Berlin, in admitting that in Satur-
days fighting the British north of the
Somme made gains, characterizes the
British losses as a reckless sacri-
flee of human lives"
Germans Aid BuIgars.
On the Macedonian front slight
progress has been made by the en-
tente allies in the Cerna river re-
gion. German troops now are aiding
their Bulgarian allies in the fighting

Heavy rain storms and snow falls
are impeding the operations in the
AustroItalian theater.

Further Demands on Greece.
The presentation by the entente al
lies of further demands on Greece,
including the removal of Greek troops
to the southern part of the country
and the handing over of Greek war
supplies, is reported by Reuters Ath-
ems correspondent.
Germans Take Seaport.
London, Oct. 24.-The Dobrudja re-
gion of Rumania apparently is being
overrun by the forces of the Teutonic
allies. Constanza, Rumania's chief
seaport and fortress on the Black sea,
already has fallen into the hands of
the troops of the right wing of Field
Marshal Won Mackensen's army, while
the left wing is nearing the town of
Tchernavoda, where the Danube is
spanned by the bridge of the rail-
road running from Constanza to Blu
charest.
Cut Railroad Line.
Near the center of their front,
which extends across the Dozrudja
from the sea to the Danube, the in
vaders have cut the railroad near
Murfatlar and pushed their troops far
beyond the railway line, according
to Berlin.
No Rest in Dobrudja.
l London, Oct. 25.-Switching their
: offensive from the Somme region in
France, possibly as a counter to the
advance of the Teutons in the Do

J have smashed the German line north
and northeast of Verdun over a front
of four and one-third miles, penetrat-
ing it along its entire length in the
