MACKENSEN RETiRES.
German Commanded Evacuatas Forts
IN Face OF fsumanians

London, Oct 5.-silisria and Pur-
pukai, Rumanian strongholds which
fell to the Teutons after the entrance
of Rumania into the war, have been
ordered evacuated by Marshal Won
Mackensen, according to official re-
ports from Paris. The order is in
terpreted here as recognition Of the
M anace to the Ru1gar-Teuton line in
Dobrudja offered by the passage of
the Danube yesterday by Rumanian
troops.
The Bulgarian war Office reports
that river monitors destroyed the
pontoon bridges on which the invad-
ers crossed. The same statement
estimates the invading force at sew
TO be such a force as it is separated
by the Danube from hope of retreat.
The battle of Dobrudja is meanwhile
proceeding with great violence along
the whole front from the sea to the
Danube
Bucharest reports that the Ru-
manians are attacking in force and
meeting stubborn resistance. Every
indication points to the intention of
the Rumanians fighting for a posi-
ton on the Dobrudia plains. Strong
Russian reinforcements have been
hastened to their aid.
North of Sederas, in Pennsylvania,
the Rumanians have won victory
which is admitted today by the Ger
man war office.
