THE RUSSIANS AND RUMAN|ANS
SUFFER DISASTROUS DEFEAT
ENTERED WAR

Smashing northward along the Black
sea coast Mackensen's army occupied
first the Rumanian port of Tuszla
and then swept, on through strongly
fortified defenses, marching twelve
miles to Constanza i'm Il little more
than two days. The rapidity of Mac
kensen's advance is accepted as an
Indication that the Russo-Rumanians
became demoralized and made dis
ordered retreat.
An official statement from Sofia
earlier in the day reporting the cap
ture of village six miles from Con-
stanza prepared Berlin for news of
n great victory. No surprise was
manifested when IL was announced
that Mackensen had pushed on
through the ruins of Traian's old
wall and had occupied the city of
Constanza itself.
Since Rumania entered the war

Rumania's greatest seaport, has fall
len before Field Marshal Macken-
sens armies, it was officially an
nounced here this afternoon.
Mackensen's left wing is now ap-
preaching Cernavoda, the war office
announced.
The capture OF the city of Con-
stanza is the greatest single achieve
ment of the Central powers since
Rnn.ania entered the war eight
weeks ago. The victory, in the be-
lief of German military men, is of
more Importance than all the gains
that have been made by the allies
since the beginning of the Somme
offensive.
Official dispatches from the Ger
man and Bulgarian war offices indi-
cate that the Russians and Ruma-
mans suffered II disastrous rout.

Historic Gate Collapsed.

The massive iron gate forming the
chief entrance to the National Ii
brary IN Paris, France, collapsed
the other day as the doorkeeper was
closing the place for the night. The
gate weighs about three tons, and hap
PLY for the man and his son who was
helping him to shut it, just missed
them in it's fall. The accident was
caused by the top hinge giving way
suddenly, and there was a great crash
as the portal wrenched itself free and
fell heavily into the courtyard. A
number of republican guards were
called out to keep watch ove the en-
trance, and will remain on duty there
until the necessary repairs can be eff
fected. The mishap caused quite a
connection, for everyone thought a
bomb had been dropped, so sharp was
