WinVictOry
on DObruia
Front, Claim

Bucharest. Monday, Sept. 25. (via
London. Sept. 27. 1853 a. m.)-De-
tails Of the great battle on the Dobrud-
ia front which lasted from Sept. IL to
Sept. 10 and ended, according to Cen
eraI Averesco, in the decisive defeat
of the Germans and Bulgarians, are
given in an official statement issued
by the war office today. The state
ment says:
THE supreme command learned on
Sept. II that detachments of our
forces had been compelled to retire
before superior enemy forces and were
falling back slowly, infiicting heavy
losses on the enemy. Measures were
taken to meet the situation and des-
perate battle began on a front stretch
ing from the Danube to the Black sea.
The fighting opened along the Dan
ube where enemey columns consisting
mostly of Germans endeavored to
force their way into Chernavoda. This
effort was defeated by the Rumanians
who, with repeated bayonet attacks
supported by the fire Of three monitors
in the river, halted the advance of the
enemy.
In two days Of desperate fighting
the enemy suffered heavy losses, his
massed formations being moved down
by artillery fire. In the center he was
driven from trenches which he mo-
mentarily succeeded in penetrating by
the allied Rumania, Russian and Serb
ian troops.
Finally at 9 o'clock p. m, Sept. 10,
the enemy onslaught reached its eli
max. The allies by formidable coun-
ter attack overthrow the enemy's
right wing which fed in disorder. The
enemy losses were very great, every
where heaps of corpses were found
and in front of one division alone 5000
rifles were picked up. The allied
troops then advanced, driving the enc
my before them"
Sofia, Sept. 81, (via London, 1918 p.
m. AFTER 10 days of heavy fighting
between Serbian and Bulgarian troops
ON the western end of the Macedonian
front the Bulgarians forced back their
opponents, compelling them to retreat
along the whole front, it was an
nounced today.
Three successive French attacks
near Alorina were repulsed. The
French are said to have suffered great
losses.

SUPPORTS WILSON

Business, Says He and Seven Sons
Will Aid Democrats.

]. D. Curtin. Chicago, who is in
the city on business, declared yester-
day at the New Harper. where he is
registered, that. although he is life
long republican, he and his seven sons
expect to vote for Woodrow Wilson
for president.
Il consider Wilson the most remark
able man that this country has pro-
duced in the last half century" he
stated in explaining his decision to
support the democratic candidate for
the presidency. with the constant
attacks made by Hughes, Wilson is a
martyr, and the American people
ought to thank God of the opportunity
afforded to keep a man of his high
ideals and broad craftsmanship in Of
fee. This is the first time have ever
even thought of not voting the repub-
lican ticket in a national campaign,
but feel that under the circumstances
that every loyal American should
stand firmly behind Wilson, regardless
of past party utilization"

New York. Sept. 27.-The general
strike of labor unions in sympathy
with the striking street car men was
supposed to be effective today and al
though labor leaders claimed that
some $4,000 workers had responded to
the call. there was little evidence that
a strike was in progress.
Private canvassers reported that at
least % unions had failed to respond
to strike calls this forenoon. The on
ly report received at police headquar-
ters was that $50 members of the
painters union had refused to report
for work.
Today leaders estimated about
125,000 trade unionists have responded
to their call.
These were the figures reported to
the meeting by the union delegates,
according to Ernest BOhm, state or
ganizer of the American Federation
of Labor.
The trades which have responded
to the strike call, he said, are the Uni
ted Garment Workers, six building
trades unions, the paper hangers un-
ions, painters, house wreckers and a
number of small organizations.
Bohm declared that 100000 more
would go out tomorrow.
List of Sympathizers.
Among the organizations which
have voted to strike today, according
to union officials are: Ladies Garment
Workers, $4,000; Clothing Workers,
10000; Painters and Decorators,
$4,000; Furriers, $4,000; Tinsmiths,
10000; butchers. 10000; stationary
firemen, $500; paper box makers,
1000; milIiners, 5000 jewelry work.
ers, 900; brewery workers, 5000. To-
tai 209. 500.
The leaders asserted they would be
able to call out an additional 900
more daily for the next two or three
days.
Far less than $4,000 union en-
plOyes responded to the call, accord
ing to police reports. The officials
said. however. that it was difficult to
obtain an accurate estimate and de-
clined to fix a definite figure.

BANKERS FAVOR
CHANGE IN LAWS
Delegates Assembled at Kansas City to
Recommend Shifts in Certain
Rulings.

Kansas City, Mo, Sept. 27.-Recom-
mendations for changes in the ma
tional banking and federal reserve
acts were expected to be made here
today by bankers attending the annual
convention of the American Bankers
association.
This action was to come up before
the national bank section. following
last nights meeting addressed by John
Shelton Williams, comptroller of the
currency, and was to concern CONSOLE
dation into the federal reserve board
Of the offices and jurisdictions under
the old national banking acts that are
partially duplicated by the newer sys-
tenn.
The discussion was to embrace an
immediate retirement of green backs
and a gradual withdrawal of national
bank notes in favor of the more recent
reserve currency, return TO members
Of the reserve system OF part of their
subscriptions. and making membership
in IL optional for banks with a surplus
of less than 100000.

SpecialMan
of Carranza
CalledH0n1e

Washington. Sept. 27-E1iseo Are
dondo, the Mexican ambassador-des
nate, now on his way to Mexico City,
is expected by personal conferences,
to give General Carranza a clearer I'M
derstanding of the American view of
difficulties between the two countries
and state department officials hope he
may be able to convince the first chief
of the necessity of conserving to full
consideration of all issues by the joint
commission.
Mr.. Arredondo left Washington
quietly yesterday afternoon after call
ing on Secretary Lansing, Counselor
Polk and Assistant Secretary Phillips.
He explained to these officials that
General Carranza had requested his
presence in Mexico City.
Secretary Lansing said he had no
direct knowledge of the purpose of
Mr.. Arredondo's trip but indicated that
he expected him back in Washington
within two or three weeks.
General Carranza has shown plainly
recently that he is not in accord with
the American idea of the work under
taken by the INSTRUMENTATION COM
mission at New London. Officials here
have been puzzled by his notice to
governors OF Mexican states IndL the
commissioners would discuss nothing
beyond the withdrawal of American
troops from Mexico.
Mr.. ArredOndo's personal status in
this country probably will be con-
sidered at his meeting with General
Carranza. For a long time the envoy
has been known to be dissatisfied with
his doubtful position as ambassador
designate and to have desired his &C
ceptance by the state department as
ambassador and the accrediting of
Henry P Fletcher to Mexico City as
AMBASSADOR there. Mr.. Fletcher,
though named some time ago, has
been held in Washington pending adj
justment of the relations of this gov
eminent with Mexico.
New London, Conn, Sept. 27.-The
Mexican representatives on the joint
conIhis6ion<that is seeking a basis for
an agreement between this country and
Mexico on border control, professed
surprise today that the departure of
Ambassador Arredondo for
Mexico was attributed in some quar-
tiers to failure of the commissioners to
agree
According to their information Mr..
ArredOndo's visit to Mexico will be
brief and it is not due to the confer
ence of the commissioners.
When the commissioners meet TO-
day the consideration of the different
plans suggested for better control OF
the border was continued.

THE WAR TODAY

No rest is being given the Ger
mans by the victorious Franco
British on the SOmme front.
The British capture of Thiep-
val, following closely and unex-
pectedIy upon the capture of Com
bIes by the combined allied forces,
was itself followed up last night
by a new stroke south of the
SOmme. where the French drove
out from VermandeVillers and
captured a strongly fortified wood
east of the town.
Apparently this new drive is
aimed at Chalnes, which bears TO
the southern end OF the SOmme
line somewhat the relation that
COmbIes did to the northern sec
tor.
Related reports from the British
front today announce the capture
of btween 5000 and 1000 Germans
by General Haig's forces in the
fighting Monday and Tuesday.
The reported captures by the
French bring this total up to
more than 5000. Unofficial figures
show the aggregate number OF
prisoners taken by the Anglo
French armies during the SOmme
offensive from July ! TO date have
been 10000, with some 1870 square
miles of territory and A villages.

dry weather, with mostly mild tenn

weather and crop bulletin today in its
final weekly issue of the season.
Corn cutting, silo filling, threshing.
harvesting tobacco. potato and beet

fine progress. Much fall blowing and
grain seeding were accomplished but
dry soil seriously hindered this work

Gathering of hay and fodder made
excellent progress but fall pastures,

ruin their business and authorize it's
import on the basis of those in 1913,
1914 and 1915.
Consul General Skinner at London
cabled the state department today of
the change. The new order gives au-
