TEU7oNS IN CONTROL OF DoBRUDJA.
Before Advance Of Teutonic Allies Russians
and Rumanians Retreat Along Front.

I London, Oct. 23.-The Dobru-
dja region of Rumanian is ap
parently being oyerrun by the
forces of the Teutonic Allies.
Constana, Rumania's chief sea.
port and fortress on the Black
Sea, already has fallen into the
hands of the troops of the right
wing of Field Marshal Won Mack
ensens' army, while the left wing
is nearing the town of Tcherna-
voda, where the Danube is span
ned by the bridge OF the railroad
running from Constana to Buch-
Arrest. Near the center of their
front, which extends across Dob
rudja from the sea to the Danube,
the invaders have cut the rail-
road near Murfatlar and pushed
their troop star beyond" the rail
way line, according to Berlin.
Before the rapid advance of the
Germans, Bulgarians and Turks,
rapid despite the heavy rains and
soggy grouu, the Russians and
Rumanians are in retreat along
the entire front, but according 10
Petrograd are offering stubborn
resistance.
Aside from the operations in
Dobrudja another British smash
at the German line in the Somme
region of France, which neeted
them more than thousand yards
of trenches cart sof Gueudecourt
and Les Boeufs and carried their
front a step nearer the Bapaume
Peronne road, is the most natable
incident of the fighting on any
front. A gain described by Paris
as tappreciable" also is recorded
for the French northeast of Nor
val whichlies just to the south of
the region where the British and
Germans we're in contact.
Berlin, in touching upon the
fighting against the British and
French Sunday between LIE Sars
and Rancourt, says the attacks
Of the Entente Allies were sangu.
inarily repulsed. 1t is admitted
in the German official communi-
cation that the Germans with
drew Sunday night from the
north of Chaulnes, south of the
Somme, to prepared position
lying east of the northern part of
the Chaulnes woods.
On the Pennsylvania front,
stubborn fighting is still in prog
ress between the Teutonic Allies
aud the Rumanians for the noun
tain passes and territory inside
Rumania which has been captur-
ed by the Austro-Germans.

Doctor Adler is an eccentric

polices had led him to do the
deed.
Doctor Adler's arrest was not
accomplished without the wound
ing of tive men who leaped at
him after he had fred on Count
Stuergkh. He discharged the
two remaining chambers of his
revolver at these men before Aus
trian and German officers, with
drawn sabers, overpowered him.
Count Stuergkh was at lunch

Toggenburg, Governor of the
Tyrol and two others when

Without a word, Count Stuergkh
fell back lifeless in his chair.
Baron Aehrenthal sprang toward
Adler. The head waiter ran up
from behind the assassin and
grasped the hand that held the
revolver. Adler wrested his arm
free and fired two shots. Baron
Aehrenthal was wounded il, the
foot. The waiter received only a
superficial wound.
Seeing that the struggle was
hopeless Doctor Adler surrendered
to the officers who crowded upon
him, and gave up his revolver.
Apparently, he was the caImest

name without hesitation and
added:
