Against gar-Germans, Advancing
After Turtuhai Victory.

The beginning of a great battle IN
southeastern Rumania (D~b"udJ j,
where the Russians have taken the
offensive against the Bulgariaas AMI
Germans, is reported in Rome des'
patch, given out by the wireless press
The struggle is now under way over
the whole front in Dobrudja, beWcen
the Danube and the Black sea. Fight
ing is particularly desperate nea.
Baltjik, on the Black sea coast, ten
miles north of the Bulgarian front er
This information, the wireless des'
patch says, was received in Rome from
Petrograd.
Capture of Baltjik, as well as ka'
varna, another Black sea port, is claim
ed by Sofia.
Another Sofia despatch says that
the Bulgar-German forces, whose cap,
ture of Turtukal, the Rumanian strong
hold on the south bank of the Danube,
are continuing their successful ad'
vance.
Rumanian defensive works on the
northern side of the Danube are being
shelled with heavy German howitzers.
Following the capture Of Turtukal,
the German and Bulgarian artillery
men opened up a terrific cannonade
against the Rumanian positions at the
mouth of the Arjeshu river, around
OltenitZa.
1t was at this point that the Ger
man officers directing the campaign
planned to throw force across the
Danube for a dash against Bucharest.
Bucharest is only forty miles ON
Turtukal.
In explanation Of the capture of the
garrison at Turtukal, numbering 20,-
900 men, Sofia despatch to the Vos-
sische Zeitung, received by way of
Copenhagen, says the Rumanians were
prevented from retiring across the
Danube by the violent artillery fire OF
the attacking forces. 1t became a
case of annihilation or surrender, and
the garrison surrendered.
The German emperor has sent the
following telegram to the king of Bul.
garia it is officially announced:
81 have just learned that the allied
troops have conquered the fortress OF
Tutrakan (TurtukaD. Accept my
heartiest congratulations on this bril-
liant feat of arms of thy brave sol

realize that we not only know how
to defend ourselves, but may strike
him even in his own country. May
God help further. Faithfully thine,

pounds, accidentally dropped from Q
Reading railway freight train while
passing through Pottstown, Pa, at
night, and were discovered by
trackmen. Had a train struck them q
serious accident would have resulted.
The spheres were used in crushing
stone for cement, but look like cannon
balls, and nervous persons, who
thought they were being shipped to
the allied armies, gave them wide
