U-53 IS REPORTED
 SUNK BY BRITISH
Canadian Patrol Boat Said to Have Destroyed Submarine Off
 Nova Scotia.

Boston, October 24.-Capt w. G. Tudor of the British steamship Hoch- elega, which arrived today from Louisburg, stated that before he left Nova Scotia persistent rumors were current that the German U-boat 53 had been sunk off Sydney, N. S., by the Canadian patrol boat Stanley He said he heard the rumor several times, but was unable to verify it.
 Before I left Louisburg I was told by a shipping man that I need not worry about the German subma arine,'' said Capt. Tudor. This man said the U-boat would not bother any more British vessels because she had been sunk by the Stanley.
 Capt. Tudor said no mention was made of the fate of the submarines crew.

French Have Blue Monday.

Paris, Oct. 24, 5:25 a. m.-The cap- ture of Constanza by the Teutonic al- lies, although not unexpected never theless puts damper on the enthus- siasm aroused by the continued pro- gress of the entente allies on the front in Picardy. French commenta- ~t0rs do not unduly exaggerate the importance of the achievement of Field Marshal von Mackensen, whose action up to the present time is con- sidered here as a defensive one in shortening his front so as to hold it better if with fewer men. They point cut that the only way he could do this Is to advance. since if he fell back his front would ,on the contrary, be heightened In so far as he succeeded. These observers say also that if he manages to tie up the RuSsO-Ru- rIanian forces in Dobrudja by hold ing a narrow front slightly south of the railroad. he will not be slow to employ his troops thus released to act in direct correlation with the Aus t1o-German army operating in Tran sylvania which, they assert, is the es- sentia1 front from which alone Blu charest can be attacked with any chance of decisive success.
 Long before that, it is believed here Rumania with the help of the allies will be in a position to turn the tables upon it's enemies. French critics as- sert this belief seemingly is justified . by the gallant defense the Rumanians gre maintaining in the passes of the Carpathians.

DOZEN HURT IN CRASH
Passenger Train and Freight Meet Hcad-on While Running on High F1nbankment But Hold Tracks.

New Canaan, Oct. 24.-About a dozen persons were more or less hurt today in a head-on collision between an electric engine and freight train on the New Stamford branch of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad about a mile out Of New Canaan. The passenger train was running slowly at the time, but the force of the impact threw the pas sengers about the two cars which made up the train, and the injuries were due to shattered glass and broken or twisted seats. The collision occurred at a point where the tracks run on a high embankment, but for tunately both trains remained on the rails.
 The passenger train was in charge of Conductor Green and MOtorman M O. Seeley. According to railroad officials an investigation would have to be made to determine why the freight was on the tracks at a time when the passenger was scheduled to rasS.

 Little Booty Found by Teuton In-

 London, Oct. 24, 3:26 a. m-"After breaking the left wing of the Russo Rumanian defense in Dobrudja," says the Chronicle today. 'Von Macken- sen pushed instantly forward fifteen miles and, with that remarkable rEpidity in improving a victory which IS one of his chief military virtues, threw his army within tWenty-four hours across the railway. Further possibilities are embarrassing. The Russo -Rumanian forces cannot re- treat northWard, for they must keep in contact with Tchernavoda bridge, their sole line of communication across the Danube. They must hold the bridge head and the enemy there fore, probably will be able to sweep northward past their left to the mouth of the Danube and hem them into a small semi-circle in front of Tcher- navoda. Such bridgehead is very difficult and costly to defend under roodern artillery fire. Possibly the allies will not try to hold it but re- treat across the bridge would be fraught with the utmost difficulties and danger.
 "On the other Rumanian front the fighting proceeds stubbornly but the names of the places mentioned in the communiques shift pretty steadily in the wrong direction. Onee cannot ,es- cape the impression that on all the RUmanian frontiers the defenders are gr eatly outnumbered The Russian endorsements cannot have been so Purge as were popularly supposed. Some surprise also is felt that Gen. SarraiPs army has not effected good deal more"
