proach into Rumania from the Do
brudja.
To-day's news tends to disprove the
assertions Of the Berlin and Sofa war
Offices that in Thursdays desperate
fighting the Rumanian tanks were
turned and the army routed. II Mack
ensen had cut through the Rumanian
lines on both wings he would have been
able TO roll the centre of the army back
between two fires and almost annihllate
it, The recovery and attack Of the Al
lied forces yesterday shows that no
such sweeping blow was inflicted on
them.
Rumanians 100000 Strong.
The Bulgarian official announcement
Of yesterday, made public to-day, states
that the Russo Rumanian army assailed
Mackensen's line Thursday with 00,0OO
men. II is pointed out that the Ger
man general hardly possesses forces
strong enough TO put TO rout well
equipped and comparatively fresh army
OF 100000 men.
Apparently the Rumanians were
thrown back for some distance only on
one section of their line, where, spurred
on by the success Of the day before,
they had advanced dangerously ahead
Of the main force.
From now on the fighting in the Dob
rudja should favor the Rumanians. They
have a narrower front to defend than
their enemy, their TANKS are almost
perfectly guarded by the sea and the
river. their supplies are plentiful and
accessible, and on their left wing they
are being greatly assisted by the fire Of
Russian warships on the enemy's flank.

are reclaimed the Russians and Ru-
manians can join hands and take up

Defeat Rumanian Forces
in Battle Near
HermannStadt.

London, Sept. 23.-The tide has
turned in favor of the Allies IN the
GREAT battle in the Dobrudja. once
more the Rumanian and Russian troops
are on the offensive and are driving
Mackensen's army back toward 'he
Bulgarian border.
BY smashing at the tanks Of the
enemy-one along the Danube and the
other resting on the Black Sea coast
the Allied troops are forcing mis- whole
line back. Under decided disadvant-
age on account Of the increasing
length of his line as he retreats the
German commander is vainly trying 70
strike back.
Unofficial reports lead observers here
10 believe that the retreat Of the Bull
CARS along the southern bank Of the
Danube almost has been turned into a
rout. Silistria has already been aban-
doned TO the Rumanians, according to
a telegram received in Rome from
Switzerland, and forwarded here to-
night.
Thirty-Mile Retreat Reported.
II this report is true, the victory OF
the Rumaniaas is far greater than
official communications indicate. The
rorthernmost point on the Danube
touched by the invaders was Marleanu,
northeast of Oltina Lake. From there
to Silistria it is thirty miles. the ex-
tent Of the Bulgars' retreat, if there is
basis for the Rome report.
Army authorities mere are inclined
20 discount this rumor. however, as well
as the statement by Berlin that all of
the Rumanian attacks have ended in
failure The main thing is that the
blows Of Mackensen evidently have
failed to crumple in the line guarding
Constanza and the sole railroad APP

MOTH PROVES ITS SHARPNESS
English Pest Has Found a Way to
Foil Defensive Efforts Of Fruit
Growers


England's winter moth Is one OF
the greatest pests with which the
fruit growers of that country have to
contend. 1t begins to appear in Octo
Der, and the female, whose wings are
very short and quite unadapted to
fight, climbs the trunks of the fruit
trees and deposits her eggs. These
hatch out in the spring, and the cater
pillars soon devour the young leaves.
Heretofore it has been comparatively
easy to combat the ravages of the
pest. Seeing that the female is un-
able to fly, fruit growers place bands
Of a sticky substance around each
tree. The female, in climbing the
trunks, comes to the band and is held
fast.
But wonderful thing has happened,
says the Manchester (England) Guard.
ian. In recent years the female moth
has been found from time to time
above the band, and how she got
there was mystery. Finally, how.
ever, an entomologst expert unveiled
1t. He saw the male and female
moths together above the band ON
the tree-the male evidently having
just deposited the female.
There appears to be little doubt,
adds the Manchester Guardian, that
in this we have remarkable adapta-
ton to circumstances. The female
cannot fly, but the male can, and it
would seem that he had flown to the
higher part of the tree, carrying his
wife upon his back. This is one of
the most striking discoveries in nat
ural history and Is creating much In
terest among nature students.

ST. JOHNS EVE CUSTOMS
Brittany Village Folk kindle Great
6onfires and Maidens Use Charms
To Get Husbands.

Some Of the customs of st. John e
eve In Brittany are as quaint as they
are picturesque. In many villages
giant bonfres are built, and round
them, in circle, seats are placed for
the departed. The cure has charge of
kindling fire, or, where 1t is possible,
a boy dressed as an angel is let down
the bell tower by means of a pulley,
and lifted up out of sight again after
he has applied lighted faggot to the
pile.
To insure getting husband before
the end of the year the village maid
ems dance round nine bonfires, and
return home to dream of the young
man destined for them. At midnight
they rise and lay the table with bread
and cheese and garlic, and throw the
front door wide open. There is no OBJ
legation for them to accept whoever is
the first to enter, but it often hap
pens that they do, for the right man
is not likely to miss his chance. If,
indeed, he appears, the parents are
quickly called in to give their con.
sent to betrothal, which takes place
there and then.

The Frenchman is very fond Of arti.

rose in full bloom. The violet Hative
de Provence is rare specimen of vic.

ed into a firm ball.
Truff1es are among the rarest Of cpl.
curean treasures in France. Dogs and
hogs are trained to scent out the
tuberlike nuggets in their earthly COW
erings in the forests. For the truffle
is a fungus which grows underground
and requires the scent of animals to
discover it. Its growth is rather a
mystery, in that science has yet dis
covered little about it. In Perigord
and Provence the custom prevails of
sowing acorns in an inclosed space,
the natives declaring that when the
trees are big enough to shade the
ground the time has come for q crop
of truffles to be gathered.
A violet trufle i. the finest Of all.
1t is covered with polygonal warts and
is found in Perigord and Provence.

ForetoId by Oil.

Among the Kherrias of India there
is very curious marriage ceremony.
Taking a portion of the hair of the
bride and bridegroom in turn from the
center of the forehead, the priest
draws it down on to the bridge of the
nose. Then, pouring oil on the head,
he watches it carefully as it trickles
down the portion of hair. If the oil
runs straight on to the tip of their
nose their future will be fortunate,
but if it spreads over the forehead
or trickles off on either side of the
nose, i'll luck is sure to follow Their
fortunes told, generally to their own
satisfaction, the final part of the cere-
mony takes place. Standing up side
by side, but with faces strictly avert
ed, the bride and bridegroom mark
each others forehead with "sindar"
(vermilion).
