kUMAN|ANS NOW
IN BULGARIA
Nackensen, Mendced in Rear,
Orders Retreat.
MAY EVACuATE FORTRESSES
A Great Battle is Raging in the
Dobrudja Region-Teutons Admit
Retreat in Pennsylvania.

London, Oct. 4.-Fighting is in pro
gress upon Bulgarian soil for the first
time since the war began.
A Rumanian army swept across the
Danube near Rustchuk, and not only
carried hostilities into King Ferdin-
and's domains, but is menacing the
rear of Field Marshal Won Macken-
sens forces which invaded Rumania
by the way Of Dobrudja.
"a great battle is progressing in the
Dobrudja district" the Petrograd cor
respondent of the London Telegraph
wired.
An unconfrmed report sent from
Rome to the Wireless Press Il that Won
Mackensen has ordered the evacuation
of the Danube fortress of Silistria and
Turtukai recently captured by the Teu-
ton, Bulgarian and Turkish forces.
The Berlin war Office announces
that Austrian and German monitors
had destroyed the pontoon bridges
across the Danube in the rear of the
Rumanian forces which it is admitted
have crossed the river and invaded
Bulgaria.
Official announcement was made in
Berlin that Austro-German troops in
Pennsylvania in the region north of
Fogaras had withdrawn before superb
or Rumanian forces.
Rumania's latest stroke may have
a powerful influence upon operations
in the Balkans by compelling the Bull
garians to weaken the army which is
operating against the allies in Mace
donia.
This counter blow also offsets the
results of the German gain in Transyl-
vania, and may compel the Germans
and Austro-Hungarians to send rein
forcements to prevent drive into the
heart of Bulgaria. An advance by the
Rumanians into Bulgaria menaces the
line of communication between the
central empires and Turkey. Both
Germany and Austria have shown by
their military operations of the past
year that they regard this line as
vital and are determined to hold it
open at all hazards.
It is believed by military experts in
London that the army of Germans,
Bulgarians and Turks under Won Mack
ensen must take up a new position at
once to meet the Rumanians, which
will mean another retreat for the con-
queror OF Serbia

d DIE WHEN CARS
CRASH ON BRIDGE
Structure CoIIapses and MANY
Many Persons Feared Dead.

Cleveland, Oct. 4.-Four bodies have
been recovered, several other dead are
believed to be in the wreckage anC
more than thirty are in hospitals as
the toll of a bridge tragedy, when tWC
street cars collidei on the West Thlrl
street viaduct, causing it to collapse
and precipitate the cars thirty tee
to the Baltimore & Ohio RAILROAD
tracks, where they almost rolled into
the Cuyahoga river.
There were forty persons on one
car and twenty on the other. Ho"
so many escaped unhurt is almost mi
raculous.
The accident occurred when south
bound Scranton road car, carrying {
crowd of women shoppers home at the
rush hour, broke away from the motor
man on hill approaching the bridg
and tore down to the north approach
lust as northbound car reached the
same point. The runaway car jumped
the track and struck the northbounC
car. The combined weight of the tive
cars and the shock of the collision was
too much for the wooden bridge, which
sagged and then gave way.

engaged in loading cars in front of the
company's plant, which is situated d.
rectly on the railroad track, and were
walking along the ties when the train

feet by the locomotive. Waiar, the
injured man, received only glanoing
blow, and was pushed to one side. He
was removed to ST. Timothy's hospital,

clans, has a slight chance to recover.

END IN SIGHT
FOR Milk WAR
Distributors to tgI3e to De-
EG.ss.n.,..s Ct Farmers.
CONSUMERS TO PAY MORE.
New York is on Short Supply as Milk
10 Spilled on Roads Up State in
Fierce Battles.

New York, Oct 4-Mayor Mitchell
after holding a conference, first, with
the milk distributors and then with the
representatives Of the Dairymen's
League, declared that a conclusion
satisfactory to both sides was in sight
The indications were that the big
dealers would consent to grant the
increase demanded by the farmers and
that the public would be snouldered
with the advance by rise IN the re
tail price of milk.
At the conference the milk distribu
tors raised the point that if they treat
Cd with the Dairymen's League, which
they allege, is an illegal organization
attempting to fix prices, they would
make themselves liable to prosecution
under the Donnelly antitrust act.
District Attorney Swami, who was
present at the conference between the
producers and the mayor, indicated
that so far as this county was concern
Cd the distributors were immune from
prosecution if they agreed to the scale
Of prices set by the league.
II do not believe the Donne1y act
will interfere with the satisfactory
conclusion of this situation. If The dis
tributors agree to pay the price de
manded by the producers he said
1T is not likely that they would be
aiable under the Donnelly act.
"As to the producers-w there
are few, If any, milk producers in this
county"
The health department reported thai
between forty and fifty per cent OF
the norm ! milk supply of New York
had reached the city. Mr.. Dillon
spokesman of the dairymen, put his
estimate as low as twenty-five or thir
ty per cent. The leading milk com
panies did not place their estimates
higher than fifty or sixty per cent.
Hospitals and children have been
locker after by the distributors and
20 far no complaint Of serious short
age has come from any Of the pubic
institutions. Private families have re
ceived preference over stores and res
taurants.
Meantime the war between the
farmers and distributors is proceeding
with vigor up state. Reports from all
parts of New York tell of thousands
Of gallons of milk spilled in combats
between the dairymen and the EN-
ployes of the distributors, the picket
ing Of cross roads in dairy districts
farmers held UP and beaten and the
establishment Of cheese manufactures
to dispose of the surplus supply.
Twenty deputies nave been sworn in
in Duchess county to prevent raids OF
farmers upon their neigh bors to com
pei them to hold back their product
This followed an attack on one man
who was severely beaten. while the
deputy sheriff who accompanied him
was held a prisoner, tied to tree.

HAVE PLAN TO PATROL BORDER
Americans to Guard Where Railroads
Are Near Boundary and Mexicans at
Other Places.

Atlantic City, N. j., Oct. 4.-Cn the
resumption OF the Mexican COME -ence
the Mexican commissioners, acting on
instructions from Carranza, again urS-
ed the withdrawal of all American
troops from Mexican soil and present
ed plan for the protection CT the
American border. This pan is said
to provide:
That American troops guard the
American border on the American

border.
That Mexican troops guard the Dor.
Ger on the Mexican side where there
are no railroads near the border.
That system of communication be
maintained between the American and
Mexican forces so that information
may readily be transmitted and steps
taken to head off bandits, etc.
That a reciprocal agreement be en-
tered into giving the forces of either
country the Iight to cross the bCriei
into the territory >of the other on q
hot trail within a given zone of 100
miles.
The Mexican commissioners saiG
they are as anxious as their American
colleagues can be to protect the Ameri
can border and to make impossible the
renewal OF such incidents as the ralG
on Columbus, N. NJ. They asserted
their belief that the plan prop sec
would achieve the purpose OF the con
ference.
1t was reported that the Carranzs
government is prepared to hold the
new presidential elections as soon as
American troops are out of the coua
try.

TAKE PROTEST TO U. S.
France and England Against Closing

Washington, Oct. 4.-Strong protests
have been made to the state depart
ment by the British and French EN-
bassies against the action of the Car
rama government, in SEEING the as
sets of British and French banking in
situations in Mexico City.
These banks are closed by decree

terests of British and French stock
holders have been seriously affected
France has taken the lead in the pro
tests, but the British embassy has mott
fed the state department it is full
