RUSS And ROUNANIANS

German War Office Admits Attacks on

London. Sept. 23.-The Russo-Rou-
manian army in the Dobrudja has
turned and resumed the offensive
against Field MarshaI Won Mackensen's
German, Bulgarian and Turkish forces
south of the Czernaw oda -Constanza
line.
The German war Office this after
noon reported that the invading army
has been attacked both on the Danube
and Toprosari. fourteen miles south
west OF Constanza. The attacks were
repulsed, it added.
Sofia officially announced that about
$4,000 Roumanians attacked Bulgar
forces Thursday, but were repulsed.
Unofficial dispatches assert that the
Mackensen army is in retreat and that
the German commander has abandoned
the Danube tortl ess Of Silistrie. These
reports are discredited here by military
experts as are rumors Of Mackensen's
army being "encircled."
Critics point out that the strategic posi-
tion Of the Bulgar- r-Turco-German armies
precludes such a movement on the part
OF the Russo-Roumanians at this stage
Of the Dubrudja battle. No doubt ia
entertained here, however, that the Rus
slams and Roumanians have successfully
checked the advance on the Czernawoda-
Constanza line.

Federal reserve act. The meeting was ar

The President talked from the veranda

road controversy. out of which the s
hour law developed. caused him much
distress.
Il never had franker conferences than
| did with both sides to this con-
troversy," he declared. when I saw
there was no chance for an agreement j
felt 1t my duty to the 100 900 900 people
of this country to interfere.
Il saw there was one side that was
aroitrable; another side that was not
arbitrable. do not consider the principle
OF the S-hour day arbitra BILE.
The railroad executives wanted to
know how they were to meet the extra
burden in wages. When they asked for
legislation that would protect them
through increased freight rates I was
willing to arbitrate that point by ap-
pointing a fair commission to observe
the law in operation and report
The preamble to the speech was an
academic discussion of the relation be-
tween capital and labor and was con-

New York, Sept. 23.-"Col. Theodore
Roosevelt's notice Of the thunderbolts he
is to discharge on his forthcoming Middle
Western trip has not thrown any per-
ceptible scare into the Democratic or
ganization," Vance Mccormick, DEM
ocratic national chairman said TODAY.
I'VE have learned not to fear the
Colonel. He came out with a stirring en-
dorsement for Robert Bacon for United
States Senator, and William Calder won
the primary election hands down.
TT appears that Roosevelt will devote
a lot of his ammunition against the
Adamson S-hour bill. We are not at all
afraid of that. The Democrats plan to
place all the facts connected with that
legislation before the public and when
the people understand, they will be crate
full and not antagontstic. When the facts
are known, it is my opinion that both Mr.,
Hughes and the Colonel will steer clear
of that issue" -r.
