GERMANS WIN
SIL|STRIA FORT
Second Rumanian Fortress
Falls to Army Operating
With the Bulgars.
AUSTRIAN WING REPULSED

London. on.-Continuing their advance
in western Dobrudja, the German and
Bulgarian forces have captured the
old Bulgarian fortress Of Silistria
which lies about 25 miles northeast
OF Turtukai and 60 miles east OF Bu-
charest, the capital OF Rumania, and
about an equal distance south OF the
Constanza Bucharest Railway line.
The capture of the fortress is an
nounced by the Berlin War ONCE,
which adds that the Rumanians and
Russians fighting in Dobrudja appar-
emily have suffered very considerable
losses during the last few days.
In Banat, north of Orsova, however,
the Rumanians are keeping up their
advance against the Austrians. hav'
ing compelled the Austrian right wing.
after II had pushed them back two and
a half miles, to withdraw to It's former
position under strong counter-attack.
Attempts by the Rumanians TO ad-
vance against heights west OF Zsik
Szereda were repulsed. In southern
Bukowina, near the junction OF the
Hungarian and Rumanian borders, the
Germans are in contact with the Ru-
manians.
Berlin and Vienna concede a gain or
ground to the Russians in the Carpa-
thians near Zabie, 10 the west OF Shy
pot. The Russians. says Berlin, are
on the offensive from the Baltic to the
wooded heights OF the Carpathians,
but everywhere except near Shypot
their attacks have been repulsed.
Attempts by the Russians TO break
through the Austrian lines southeast
of Lemberg, near Halicz, failed. ac-
cordng to Vienna, with heavy losses.
The Vienna statement mentions the
gallantry of the Turkish forces fight
ing with the Austr' ans in this region.
The repulse OF German counter-at'
tacks and continued heavy lombard
ments formed the chief features OF
the fighting on the western front in
and British forces and the Germans
against the British took place north
OF Ginchy and against the French
south OF Derny-en-Santerre.
A recapitulation by the British War
Office of the results attained by the
British on the Somme front during
the past week shows an advance on a
front OF 5000 yards to a depth varying
from 300 to 5000 yards.
In Albania the Italians in the Av-
Iona sector have taken, without oppo-
sition, several Austrian points OF van
tage. The usual artillery activity con-
tinues in the AustroItalan theatre.

RUMANIAN DRIVE
FORCES FOE BACK
Austrians Compelled to With
draw from Positions Fifty
Miles North of kronstadt
BUlGARS TAKE SEA PORTS

London.-The rapidity with which
the Rumanians are advancing in their
Invasion of Transylvania is indicated
by an announcement from Austrian
Army Headquarters at Vienna that
Austrian positions six miles west OF
Csik Szereda have been abandoned
under pressure. These positions at
Hargitta are fifty miles north OF Kron-
stadt and about twenty-five miles west
of the Rumanian border. The an
nouncement says:
West OF Csik Szereda our troops
have been withdrawn before superior
enemy attacks against Hargitta.
An undated official Bulgarian report
received here says that the Bulgarian
and German forces which are invad-
Ing Eastern Rumania have captured
the fortress of Dobric (BaZardjk) and
the seaports OF Baltjik, Kavarna, and
Kali Akra.
The capture OF Orsova gives the Ru-
manians grip on the Austrian second
line OF defense behind the mountains
diXiding Pennsylvania from Hungary.
To the Teutons its loss means the
hampering OF traffic along the Danube
which served as a supply line for Tur-
key.
On the Somme front IN France the
violent bombardment continues along
almost the entire line. The only infan-
try engagements have taken place
south OF the river. The French report
a further advance for their troops In
the village Of Vedandovillers. In the
Berny-en-Senterre and Chaulnes sec
tor, where the fighting was particu-
larly vicious, both the Germans and
the French record successes for their
armies in the repuse OF attacks.
The capture of Turtukai is by far
the most significant success scored
thus far by the Bulgarians and their
Teutonic allie7 in the Rumanian cam
paign. Once the Danube Is crossed
at this point, a railroad leading direct
ly to Bucharest is at their disposal.

SWEPT BACK ON SoMME.

London.-On both banks OF the
Somme the fierce battle continues
Berlin reports that 100000 Allied
troops are attacking the Picardy line
South OF the Somme alone 100000
French soldiers are massed. Taken
In conjunction with Berlin's official
statement that the artillery fire In
the last few days exceeded in expendi-
ture anything known before, some OBJ
servers here see hint that the Ger.
mans plan withdrawal from the Roye
sector.
p All reports agree that the Allied
gains are costing much less than was
expected The artillery is smothering
the enemy's defenses so thoroughly
that the infantry casualties are rela-
lively low. Foch's progress has been
accomplished at surprisingly low
expense, due largely TO the efficiency
OF the new French guns.
The strategy of the Allied command
also has contributed to this result
The French and British have been able
TO assail the German line mainly from
the flank, thus avoiding he costly
frontal assault that laid so heavy a
toll on the Germans at Verdun.
From the large number of prisoners
and guns taken in the offensive thus
far, the Allied drive must be consid-
cred exceedingly successful. The
vagueness OF the German commu-
niques is the best proof that the Ger
mans are worried greatly about the
Western front, where the tide is flow
Ing constantly against them.
In the frenzy OF their efforts to
prevent further encroachments by the
French. the finest infantry the Kaiser
has Is marching TO certain death in
counter attacks launched with the
barest shadow OF artillery prepara-
ton. There have been dozen OF
these bloody attempts at striking back,
and not one OF them has recovered
an inch OF sAe ground lost.

GERMANS TAKE RUMANlAN ARMY

London.-German and Bulgarian
troops have stormed the Rumanian
fortress and town OF Tutrakan, cap
turing 10000 prisoners and much
booty, Berlin announces. This impor-
tant victory seriously threatens Buch.
Arrest, the Rumanian capital.
The Teutonic success seems to have
been complete. Besides the prisoners
taken large numbers OF Rumanians
were killed. Among the prisoners are
two generals and 400 other officers.
The booty includes 100 cannon and
stores OF all kinds.
This blow, struck agail ST Rumania
little more than a week after she en-
tered the war;. was marked by rapid
and effective concentration OF German
and Bulgar troops and heavy guns.
No admission OF the capture OF
Tutrakan has been received from the
Rumanian War Office, but a Russian
official statement, telegraphed here,
says that the Rumanians were evac.
uatng the place. A Rumanlan state
ment said that the Teltons had been
re-enforced, especially with big guns,
but the Rumanian garrison was cease
lessly counter attacking. The fall OF
the town and forts has been forecast

Washington.-The Administration Is

threat OF bakers to increase the price
OF the loaf. Government investiga
tions are in progress, and 1t is be-
lieved here that criminal prosecutions

there is no economic justification for

An official said there must be an
investigation and the facts OF II de-

may frown down any attempt to in
crease unjustly the price of bread.
The Federal Trade Commission.
through Chairman Edward N. Hurry,
has been making an investigation OF
the economic phases OF the question.
He is now in Chicago authorized by
the commission TO pursue this inquiry
as far as he deems necessary.
1t is understood also that the mat.
ter has been brought 10 the attention
Of the Department OF Justice and that
It's agents have been at work on II
for some time. What facts have been
disclosed Department OF Justice ofi-

1t was stated that II there were an
agreement among bakers to increase
the price OF bread il would be equiva-
lent to a conspiracy and that they
could be prosecuted under the Com
mon Law or Antitrust Act.
Two natural causes for a possible
increase in the price OF bread are seen
by some authorities here. 1t was said
the great demand for wheat has been
for armies, thus lessenging the sup
ply Of this country The other cause
is tho reduction OF this years wheat
crop, which Is said TO be approximate
ly 90 per cent. less than last years
crop.
Chicago.-Federal Investigation OF
the National Association OF Master
Bakers plan to make the price or
small loaves of bread six cents In
stead of five was started here.
Charles r. Clyne, United States Dis.
trict Attorney, said the plal for one
baker in a community to advance the
price and then have the others fol-
low would constitute violations OF
the antitrust laws.
The plan TO advance the price was
at meeting OF the execu-
tive committee Of the Bakers Asso-
citation here. This step was neces-
sary, II was declared, because OF the
sharp Increase In the price OF ma
terials.
An embargo on the expectation OF
wheat from the United States may
be declared In the near future, ac-
cording 10 experts. This would mean
a lowering OF prices in North America
as we'll as elsewhere.

THE CHURCH AND MORALITY

Sarah Myttan Mauryo pays this tri-
butte in The Statesmen OF America,
in 1886" A.L@4.
Il have high official authority for
saying that. the ministers and mission
aries of the Roman Catholic Church
are at this moment doing more good
for the cause of virtue and morality
throughout the whole continent of
America than those of any other re-
ligious denomination whatever. 4 The
hierarchy of the Catholic Church in
the United States seek not. ehdow-
ment; they love their Independence,
they seek not power; they prize their
purity; they seek not sinecures; they
value their high prerogative of useful
ness. And thus as sanity men do
they pursue their steady way, void of
offense before God and man., approved
on earth and registered in Heaven.
These words cannot be said to the
same extent of any other Church what
ever. yield this tribute of just and
