Inflicted Heavy Losses on Ger

London, Nov. 12.-Russians and Ru-
manians on both the Dobruja and
Translyvanian fronts of the Rumanian
theatre are vigorously on the offensive
against the troops of the Teutonic al
lies. Keeping up their operations
north of the -Tchernavoda
railway, begun last week. the Russo
Rumanian forces have pushed back
Field Marshal Won. Mackensen's men
to front running through the towns
of Topal, Inancezene and Karanasuf.
In the Transylvanian zone, the Rus
slams have gradually reinforced the
Rumanians on the northern section OF
the line until they are now fighting
side by siae with them over front
of about fifty miles south of the Bu-
kowina border. The latest communi-
cations from both Bucharest and Pet
rograd report the capture of Austro-
German positions in the Trotus and
Alt Valleys and the repulse of attacks
at various points. Near the Oitus pass
the Austro-German have advanced, ac-
cording to Berlin.
After days of sanguinary fighting
the village of Saillisel, east OF the Pc
rome Baupaume road Id the Somme
region of France, has at last fallen
entirely into the hands of the troops
of General Foch. In the capture OF the
town the French inflicted heavy ca
sualties on the Germans and captured
seven officers, 220 men and eight ma
chine guns. On the remainder of the
front in France artillery duels are in
progress.
Fighting throughout the night the
French conquered house after house,
their advance being vigorously contest
ed. The last fragment of the village
to be won was the eastern ridge. Here
the Germans made their final stand
with rifles and machine guns.
The war Office at Paris reports the
German losses in dead as extraordi-
narily heavy A projected French at
tack near Ablaincourt, south of the
Somme, was broken up by the German
artillery fire, Berlin reports today. At
other points on the western front on
ly artillery cannonading marked the
day. British headquarters reports
launching gas attacks north of the
Ancre.
Little fighting of moment is going on
in the Russian, Macedonia and Aus
tro-Italian theatres. Along the Nara
yuxka river in Galicia attacks by the
Russians have been put down by the
Austro-Germans The town of Polog
and Culse hill have been captured by
the Serbians from the Bulgarians, ac-
cording to Paris. Berlin admits an ad
vance by the Serbians in this region.
No infantry engagements on the Aus
tro-Italian front have been reported.

The business and property of the
Cooper Manufacturing company was
on Saturday transferred to the new

ness chiefly at Kenosha, Wis.
There will be absolutely no change
at the local plant at present. A. ].
Cooper is vice president and direc-
tor of the new corporation and Supt.
James Z. Burke is one of the direc-
tors. They will manage the business
for the present the same as in the
past, but will have the assistance of a
cast ENGINEER and efficiency expert
who is to come here from Kenosha.
The big mill at Kenosha is hos
iery plant employing 1400 persons and
makes the famous Black Cat hosiery.
While a new corporation is formed on
account of the expansion the business
consists OF two such well established
concerns that it is only in the reor-
ganization that the thing is new.
The selling organization of the old
concern will hereafter also sell the
output of the Cooper plant and it is
expected that the business will be
gradually increased. Both Mr.. Coop
er and Mr.. Burke feel sure that the
change will prove highly beneficial to
Bennington and that it will lead to the
erection of another mill here at some
future time not very distant.
The attorneys and other agents of
the new company were here last week
and the transfer of title and insurance
policies took place Saturday afternoon
and the purchase price, which Is not
made public, was paid over In whole
