Review of Days Fighting.
(By Associated Press.l

Teutonic pressure in Dobrudja, ap-
rarently, has slacken after days OF
continued successes for forces of the
Central powers, according to Petrograd
reports.
The Russian war Office statement to-
day said the pressure exerted by Won
Mackensen's army has weakened some
what, and the Rumanians are also de-
clared to have stopped the Teutonic ad-
vance in Pennsylvania.
In the Carpathians, Petrograd saws
Russian troops are successfully with
standing Teutonic attacks.
Unofficial Berlin dispatches today
says thar the Entente forces in Ru-
mania were split by the fall of Tcher-
navoda, some escaping over the great
bridge across the Danube, while 9TH
ers fled northward remaining in the
provinye of Dobrudja. Those who re-
rained in Dubradja, apparently, made
stand north of the Constanza- -Tcher-
navoda line, but the result of the
fighting there is not announced.
An unofficial Rome despatch says
II is reported there from Bucrarest
that the retreating Rumanians de-
stroyed the Tchernovado bridge be-
fore crossing the Danube, when the
town of that name was evacuated be-
fore the advancing Teutons.
The Rumanian situation, taken as a
whole, was considered by Berlin mill
itary writer's today as increasingly
lrecarious 70. the Entente in view OF
the Dobrudja operations and Teutonic
successes in Pennsylvania.
The Germans have ceased their
counter attacks around Verdun, ac-
cording to Paris statements.
In Macedonia the British reported
today a successful aeroplane attack
on railway stations at Bukand Drama,
on the Constantinople-Sa -Saloniki rail-
way.
Late this afternoon the Berlin war
office claimed that Teutonic opera
tions in the province of Dobrudja and
along the northern Rumanian front
continue to progress. The statement
announces the repulse of Russian at
tacks in Volhynia during today.

Triumph, Says Smith.

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct 26-That Pres
ident Wilson will score a triumph on
November 7 was the prediction made
by United States Senator Hoke Smith
of Georgia in a speech last night to a
Wilson rally held in Atlanta under the
auspices of the Young Mems Demo-
cratic League of Fulton county and
the local Woodrow Wilson club.
The senator has just returned from
a speaking trip through Missouri and
Indiana under the direction of the
democratic national campaign COM
'mittee. He spent three weeks in those
states, returned by way of Chicago and
stopped over in Washington, so that he
brought to his Atlanta audience a
comprehensive review of political con-
eitions in a number of doubtful states
wi ich are considered the fighting
ground of the presidential campaign.
The senator declared that the whole
treud of sentiment for several weeks
has been away from Hughes towards
Wilson, and that this tide will con-
tinue to rise until it reaches its crest
eli election day.
Hughes and the republicans have
jumped from limb to limb" said Sen
ator Smith, "and every time they
lave dared to light they have been
dislodged from their perch. They are
now fighting on the defensive and they
realize that the tide is running against
them. The sentiment of the people is
overwhelmingly for peace, and as
treir minds become more and more
firmly riveted on that thought, the
more they favor Woodrow Wilson, who
has kept us out of the war"

Attorney General Says That
Official Ballot Is Illegal

ed at the Macon convention, so far as
| know, but it is true that there are
certain specifications set out For
instance. a director in national bank,
can't lie an elector. For that reason
Mr.. Coates resigned, and Mr.. J. Pope
Brown has been appointed Dy Judge
Flyi:t to fill the vacancy. There are
no Others disqualified so far as 1
know"
The tally sheets sent out by the
state, from the executive department.
as well as the consolidated return
sheets, have only the names OF tile
presidential electors printed on them.
In good many instances The full
ticket IS being printed locally, by the
several county chairmen, ani that
work has very largely been completed
by this time. In order to overcome
thet, Secretary Gardner will at once
notify each county chairman Of Aitor-
ney General Walkers ruling, and ask
that the chairman in each county see
to it that the names of the alternates
under the head of presidential cleo
tors, are all erased from the ticket,
before it is voted, by obliteration with
pencil or pen. This, it is believed,
will bring the ticket to fully conform
to the law.

Lost in Test Vote.

The suffrage leaders made an effort
yesterday to get their motion before
the house, but were defeated on what
is considered to be a test vote. SuE-
1fagists, however, deny this. The vote
was taken on suggestion by Mrs. s. ID
Morgan, of Savannah, floor leader OF
the suffragists, to the effect that the
regular afternoon program be set
aside temporarily for the consideration
of new business
Several times during the day, Mrs
Morgan and her co-workers made an
effort for the consideration of new
tusiness-coneeded to be the suffrage
duestion-but each time they were
over-ruled, the almost inyariabIe re-
Fly being given that new business will
be taken up at the most opportune
time"
1t was voted at the close of the ses-
sion yesrteday, however, to consider
new business at the beginning Of this
session at the annex to the
First Baptist church.
The suffrage question proper may
Eever get to the floor of the house. The
executive board has proposed to tha
resolutions committee several matters
to be reported to the convention to-
day, and the suffragists have made ah
effort to have suffrage included in the
favorable report of the committee Ia
the event the report is unfavorable, the
motion will likely be made that ~n@
business except that reported by the
committee be taken up" If
this carries, suffrage is killed Tor the

A LOST
PICTURE PLAY
1t Turned Up
Unexpectedly
By DONALD CHAMBERLIN

| am the manager of a moving pic
ture studio. What is manager Of
movie studio? Only he who has been
such knows. Success or failure de-
ponds upon him.
If one desires to get an idea of the
workings of the photographing of
plays let him visit q studio while the
work is going on. He sees men, wom-
en- and children lounging about wait
ing their turn to enact their parts.
Some are arranged before the camera.
A court scene, love part. a murder,
anything, everything that pertains to
civilized, even savage life, on land, on
the water, in the air, Is put on the
films before the wondering beholder.
A woman is gaping in abandon while
waiting to be a princess before the
camera A peasant girl is complain
ing that she is tired to death"-fOr
the work is dreadfully wearying-and
she must in a few minutes be skipping
about as happy as a newly 1edged
bird. This is behind the scenes of the
movies.
How different from the picture pass
ing smoothly before the eyes of an au-
dience seated in comfortable chairs In
the theater!
1t is this multiplication of matters
needing attention that leads managers
of studios to hedge themselves in be-
hind closed doors and forbidden to any
one until the name has been sent in on
slip of paper stating the nature OF
the callers business. And if some I'M
known person desires TO see him to
submit a picture play he sends word
to leave it and it will be examined.
1t then goes on to the file of hundreds
of other plays to take its turn and
(usually) be returned after weary wait
ing ON the part of the author.
Having given. trust. the reader
some faint idea of my multifarious
duties will tell my story.
One morning when sat down to my
desk, feeling somewhat rested from
the work of the day before, there came
a call at the telephone. Taking up the
receiver, l listened. The voice that
coWe over the wire was that of a Won
an and was soft and sweet.
''Is this Mr.. CollamoreT'
"Yes; I'm Mr.. Collamore."
''l've just finished a picture play, and
| would like to have a few minutes
conversation with you about it,
Leave it in the office. or send it by
mail. and it will receive attention"
THANK you very much. Goodby."

throw the party off SO easily and con
graduated myself at having done SO

Where Can They Go?

The Rainier beer plant formerly in
operation in Seattle, Wash, is about
to move to an advantageous" point in
California, it is reported, where the
brewing business will be continued.
Unless the company is quite recon
ciled to another move in the near fu-
ture, California is rather an unad-
vantageous selection for brewery
site. Then comes the further question,
where can the brewery move when
California goes dry? The western
states are whitening so rapidly that
there will soon be no place where a
brewery will be tolerated.
