WAR SUMMARY

Rumania is struggling desperately to ward off the incessant attacks of Field Marshal von Mackensen and General von Falkenhayn.
 Advancing northward in Dobrudja, von Mackensen's troops have reached line running from Hiersova, on the Danube, to Casapkeui, one the Black Sea coast, from forty to sixty miles from where they crossed the Constan- za-Tchernayoda railway line. The cap ture of Hiersova would give the Teutonic allies the advantage of hay ing little marshy ground to traverse should they attempt to make a cross ing of the river here into old Ruma- mia, as the low lying ground virtually disappears for some distance around Hiersova.
 General von Falkenhayn continues to make progress in the direction of Campulung, south of Predeal, on the Pennsylvania front, and Bucharest ad- mits a retirement of the Rumsnian forces in the jul valley, which is situated in the Vulcan pass region The o-Rumanian forces, to the north, have repulsed Austro-German attacks, while in the Uzul valley the Rumanians continue to advance and in the region of Okno have occupied a height and village.
 lnclement weather is hampering operations on the Somme and Mace donian fronts and only bombardments have taken place in these regions.

TURKEY WINS OR
 FALLS WITH ALLIES

Continued from page onel certain uncanniness in this organiza- ton which moves noislessly along the shortest line to it's objective with a certainty that holds one spell bound. Such an organization must have more than mere brains behind it; it must have the will of the people as it's base it must have the deepest patriotism as motive power"
 Speaking of organization in Fur key, Halil Bey said it was constantly improving with the aid of the Ger mans wherever that was feasible.
 We have quite an organization ourselves" he continued. q refer to Enver Pasha, Turkish minister of war, who. in addition to being as in- defatigable as he ever was, has shown during the war that he not only ap- nreciates systematic effort but is able to inausurate and promote it. so that Tnvar Pasha today is Turkeys big gest mana distinction he well de- serves !"
 Regard 'ng Ru ania's entry into t'a Eur0penn war the Turkish for ai"n r'irister said:
 ''The action of that country is prin c'naIlv remarkable to me for one thing in that it indicated to wha' eX- tent the entente and Rumanian states men thought the Central Powers had been weakened Undoubtedly. men in Bucharest ina eined the Central Pow CTS had reached the stage in which thev were unable to fight against Ru- '''arian troops otherwise Ruman'a would not have taken so foolish step.
 "The experience of Rumania is of special interest and value to the world because it shows the Central Powers are still rilitarily vigorous and able, despite the great offensive in the west and east, to send large forces against a new enemy.
 We in Turkey are one with the Central governments, though in re- cent years we have been shorn of much of our territory. there remains enough of the er'p'-c n point of eX- tent and wealth O. 5ol' to build up ty will come to all.
 That is the program of our party of union and progress"
