LONDON COMMENT
ON GERMAN VICTORY

London, Oct 24-According to the
London morning newspapers the Ger
mans appear to have forced the evacu-
alton o. ConstanZa by cutting the
trans -Dobrudja railway about 20 miles
west of the Black sea coast. AS the
Germans make no claims to consider
able captures, ii Is assumed here that
the Rumanians made good their re-
tirement
The Times military expert COM
ments thus on the situation
"Dobrudja is a separate and not
vital theater, which the Rumanians
can afford to lose without great hurt.
But the reported loss of Constanza Is
disagreeable blow. limiting as 1t
does, the means OF access of Russian
rcinforcements. 1t is also q tactical
defeat. which, coming after the loss of
Turtukai and Hermannstadt, neces-
sarily reduces Rumania's strength as
well as that of the Russians ard Serbs
who took part in this action, and must
also impair the confidence of the Rus
SLAMS in themselves"
The Morning Post says:
while the loss of Constanza Is SER
ious, the threat against Tchernavoda
Is more serious, If it is true. The only
bridge across the Danube between Bel
grade and the sea is at Tchernavoda,
and complete possession of the railway
and the bridge would open the way to
Bucharest"
IMPORTANT SUPPLIES.
Says the Daily Mail:
"Constanza contained immense
storehouses of petroleum and grain
Whether these have been destroyed Is
not clear. but IL not. the enemy has
obtained important supplies. The loss
of this port will be a serious blow. Ru-
mania Is deprived of valuable econom-
lc resources and of a short and con-
venient line of communication between
Odessa and Bucharest by way of the
Black sea. Moreover, tie repercus-
sion of this event in the Balkans and
the middle east will be great"
The Times thinks more military i'm
portance must still be attached to the
Pennsylvania side of Rumania's war
than to Dobrudja. General Won Falk-
snhayn, says the Times, now has a
footing on the Rumanian side OF at
least five passes. and has reached the
frontier at most of the others.
After breaking the left wing of the
Russo -Rumanian defense In Dobrud-
Ja," says the Chronicle, won Mack
enzen pushed forward 15 miles, and,
with that remarkable rapidity in i'm

STUPID CENSORSHIP.

Congress appears to be serious
ly considering the bill to set up a
censorship of moving pictures.
Censorship and stupidity are prac-
ally synonymous and interchange
able terms. 1t is only the dull,
dim mind that itches TO impose its
personal tastes by force of law
upon its neighbors.
We read somewhere Lot long
ago that sapient board of censors
had forbidden the exhibition of a
film dealing with Mexico because
Villa appeared in it. And Villa is
a murderer. We presume it is
true, because that would be ex-
actly typical of censorship.

tablishing a censorship of the
