German and Russian Views
as to Rumania's Situation,
Following Dobrudja Defeat

| BERLIN, October 26, by wireless to
Sayville, N. Y.-'The capture of Tcher-
navoda by Field Marshal Won Macken-
sens army has definitely turned the
military situation in Dobrudja in our

Overseas News Agency.

garian, German and Turkish force
marched on after the taking of Con-
stanza and in a powerful push ad-
vanced twenty kilometers (about twelve
miles) beyond that place From that
moment the capture of Medtidfe was
only a question of a few hours, as the
town was threatened on the flank. The
Russo -Rumanian position thus being
rolled up from the east, the western
point of support on the Danube, the
town of Rasova, also had to be given
up.

fore the strong Danube bridgehead of
Tchernavoda, which then had to serve
as a cover for the hasty retreat of the
defeated Russians and Rumanians. To-
day the railroad line from Constance
to Tchernavoda is completely in the
hands of the victorious allies. consti-
tut1ng with the valuable material in
locomotives and railroad cars taken
with it, a first-class base of strategic
operations. All this material was aban-
doned by the fleeing Russians and Ru-
manians.
The defeated army was separated
into two parts. Those who did not re-
main on the battlefield or were not
taken prisoner saved themselves by
flight across the Tchernavoda bridge
over the Danube or to the northward
in Dobrudja.

Germans Reacting Slowly.
The German forces at Verdun are
reacting so slowly and with such ap-
parent lack of strength that. in the
opinion of French military men. they
no longer possess general reserve,
but are Obliged to withdraw men from
one section of the front to reinforce
another section in case of need.
Reports of the casualties which are

less than the number of prisoners
taken, and a large proportion OF them
were of cases in which the men were
slightly wounded.
Many Guns Captured.
Considerable material was captured.
The Germans had massed guns Of all
calibers in the Ravine of Death. all of
which fell into the hands of the French.

and Cheap Electric Current Provided
by Dam-Plant- to Harden Load.

f. IS
Keokuk, July "a plant for the pur-
pose of hardening lead thru an electro
cal process will be erected adjacent to.
the River Smelling and Refining Com
pany, it was announced by R. G. Han,
president of the River company. An
appropriation Of 100000 for the erec-.
ton Of the plant has been received
by Mr.. Hausand the contract for grad
ing and excavation for the buildings
was discussed with contractors. 1t is
expected i that the buildings will be
erected and plant running within the
coming eight weeks. r
The new plant will be located on
land belonging to the River Refinery
company and the buildings will be put
up to the east of the present general
ing room of the refinery. There IS
plenty of room here for the buildings.
Two carloads OF lead bars which will
be hardened by this new process are on
the ground now.
10 First Addition.
The process is owned by the United
Lead Company, subsidiary company
Of the National Lead Company. The
process uses electricity and this COM
modify will be supplied in whatever
quantities necessary from the power
plant at this point. This is the first
of some of the subsidiary companies,
which it was said would be established
here at the time the River Smelttns
Company located in Keokuk. 1t Is al
most certain that others will follow.
and that the idea Of a several million
dollar investment for this tract OF
ground will be realized.
The process which is a secret one
SO far as any one outside of the com
pany knows, uses calcium and bariuIh.
combination of these chemicals with
the lead bars produces hard surface
on the otherwise soft surface of lead.
Some of the bars of lead which have
been treated are at the refinery on the
Daley tract now. Striking bar which
has not been treated produces thud
equivalent to hitting plum pudding
with a sledge hammer.
Lead Is Shipped In.
The hardened lead is used for the
manufacture of certain articles. This
electrical process which hardens this
metal solves to 4 great degree certain
manufacturing problems. The lead bars
are shipped in mere from otner FAC
tories of the National Lead Company.
1t is probable that the lead may be
manufactured right at this plant some
time in the future.
The addition to the plant here Is
something to crow about, and the
construction Of this first big addition
10 the refinery on the Daley tract WI!
be watched with considerable interest.
1t was stated by the officials that it
will take six TO eight weeks to build
the plant and 10 have it in operation.
