operations Of the forces Of the Cen
trail Powers and their allies In Do
brudja, which resulted in the capture
of the Black Sea port Of Constanzs
and the railroad terminus Of Cerna-

critic of the Overseas News Agency
writes:
"The conquest Of Constanza, the
largest Rumanian seaport, and Of the
Danube bridgehead, Cernavods, brings
the Dobrudja engagement Of October
10 to October % to a glorious end, and
the result is decisive blow to the
Rumanian campaign.
"The victorious advance OF our
troops came at the end Of September
to a standstill before Toprai-Sari,
Txopadin and Rasova. Ia was neces-
sary, therefore, to rearrapge the POSI-

Walder, Arrested and Freed in
$4,000 Brooch Case,
Taken Again

During a strike which hampered
work in Nathan Greenberg's jewellers
shop, at $50 Fifth Avenue, a $4,000
diamond brooch was given to Harry
Walder, one of the employees, to take
home and repair. On April the E.
NJ. Cattle Company. which had sent the
brooch to Greenberg for repairs, de-
manded its return.
Walder asserted he had given it back
to his employer. Greenberg denied il
and Walder was arrested. He was dis
charged for lack of evidence.
Soon afterward he and his brother
set up an independent jewelry busi-
ness at III Sixth Avenue. Detective
Price bought some diamonds at Wald-
er's shop which. he says, were identi-
fed as having been in the $4,000
brooch. So yesterday Walder was ar

first effort to attack the British trans

No troops were lost on the transport
and the crew of the destroyer sunk were
saved. The only loss of life the British
suffered was on the missing destroyer,

Navy Keeps Channel Safe
In view of the attempt to-day, it is
worth recalling that the British have
not lost a single life since the war be-
gan in transporting troops across the
Channel TO France. Large numbers Of
men have been carried across for Haig's
armies, but ell have arrived safely.
And the failure of the German effort
is a tribute to the watchfulness OF the
British navy during the foggy nights,
the cycle of which has now begun. j.
L. Garvin asked recently whether
Britain was ready TO throw back such
a German attack. The answer was given
to-day and has been welcomed joyfully.
The British Admiralty announcement

During last night the enemy at
tempted a raid with ten destroyers on
our cross Channel transport service.
The attempt failed. One empty trans

pitt, twinkled on the horizon to-day,
but failed to dawn.
During the night ten torpedo boat
destroyers of the Kaiser's feet mobil-
lied at Zeebrugge under the shadows
of the huge Krupp guns that bristle
along the Belgian coast. Through the
Straits Of Dover they dashed and into
the English Channel, hitherto the hunt
ing ground only of adventurous u
boats. Their mission was to sink some
of the transports that carry Britain's
troops TO the battlefelds in France.
Germans Driven Oh
One transport, carrying no troops
was sent to the bottom. Then the
British destroyers engaged the invad-
ing squadron. In the spirited combat
that followed two German warships
we're sunk, according to the British
statement, a British vessel was dis
abled by a torpedo and run aground
and another British destroyer is miss
ing and probably lost. The Kaisers
SQUADRON then was driven off.
The German statement received here
late tonight asserts that at least
eleven British outpost steamers and
two or three destroyers were sent down
between Folkestone and Boulogne and
that the German squadron suffered no
loss.

reply to the French victory at Verdun'

Mackensen Gives Foe
No Rest; Falkenhayn
Gains Five Miles
INVADERS SWEEP
BEYOND PREDEAL
Bucharest Troops Seize
Transylvanian City in
Counter Offensive

London, Oct. 27.-The Russo-Ru-
manian army in the Dobrudja is still
in flight before Mackensen. Though
the invading forces apparently have
made no effort as yet to throw troops
across the Danube at Cernavoda,
they are continuing the northward
pursuit without pause.
The Rumanians and Russians have
been driven north of Hirsova and
Casapchioi, positions on the Danube
and Black Sea coast, respectively,
forty miles north of the Constanza-
Cernavoda railroad. That the enemy
is in hot pursuit is indicated by the
fact that Mackensen's advanced col
umns are already in Hirsova.
The capture of Hirsovs gives to
the Teutonic allies the advantage Of
having little msrshy ground to
traverse should they attempt to make
a crossing of the river here into old
Rumania, as the low lying ground
virtually disappears for some dis
tance around Hirsova.
Falkenhayn Menacing
Meanwhile, on the Transylvanian
front, the situation is steadily assum-
ing a more threatening aspect for
King Ferdinand's troops. Although
Falkenhayn's forces have been held
in check, and even thrust back at
some places, in several vital sectors
they are smashing ahead relentlessly.
On the western frontier Of Moldavia
the Rumanians have rallied and turned
back the foe; in the passes Of Southern
Pennsylvania the Teutons appear TO
be holding the upper hand and extend
ing long tentacles into the enemy's
country that seriously menace the key
points of Western Rumania.
in the Trotus and Oituz valleys the
Rumsnians captured to-day the village
Of Balan and the Piatrarotkul heights,
nine miles from Okna. In the Uzul
Valley the Rumanians also pushed for
ward.
In the valley of the jul the Ru-
manians have withdrawn to the south
ern exit Of the Vulcan Pass. South OF
Kronstadt they have also been COM
pelled to fall back. Here the Teutons
have now reached Azugei, five miles
south Of Predeal and well inside the
Rumanian border. South Of Torzburg
Pass the Germans claim progress in
the direction of Campulung.
French Send l2O Aeros
On the extreme northern tip OF the
front, to the south Of Dorna Vatra,
the Austro-G German troops broke
through and seized a dominating posi-
ton near Chsru Dornei.
One hundred and twenty-eight
French aeroplanes have arrived in Ru-
mania for reconnaissance work on the
and Dobrudia fronts. ac-
cording to a dispatch from Bucharest.
Four English aeroplanes arrived at the
Rumanian capital yesterday from I'm
bros. an island of the Grecian Archi-
pelago.'
Flying from the island Of Imbros
across Central Bulgaria TO Bucharest
in a straight line, the English machines
travelled about 300 miles.

Campaign Prices Boosted

OF the 1882 contributions received
thus far by the committee, S26l ,846
was in sums under 500. Under the
publicity law governing such contri-
buttons the donors Of these smaller
amounts are not named in the report.
The cost of the first Wilson cam
paign was but S1,110,952, or slightly
more than 100000 in excess of the
amount already collected by the Pres
ident's aids. The campaign managers
disclaim any extravaganza, insisting
that the difference in outlay this year
is due exclusively to the increased cost
of everything necessary in carrying on
political activities, from printing to
free cigars for the voters.
A perusal Of the names listed in a
digest of the report filed at Washing
ton. which was given out from Demo-
cratic headquarters last night, shows
that the Wilson collectors have shown
no unwilingness to accept contribu-
tions from possessors of great wealth.
MANY gifts TO the committee run into
five figures, and are from men who
could hardly be classed as sons Of
toll.
A check for $4,000 was received
from Bernard Baruch, while total of
s37 O95 was forwarded to the committee
as the unexpended balance of the st.
Louis convention. Roger c. Sullivan,

Democrats Find Cam
paign Dignity Will
Cost High
81 ,006,2S3 FUND
GIVEN ALREADY
One $4,000 Contribution
Received from c. H.
Dodge, Classmate

President Wilson's "dignihed cam
paign" promises to be far more eI-
pensive than the ordinary speechmak-
ing variety of any previous sspirant to
that Office. The high cost of dignity
was revealed yesterday in the pre-
liminary report of contributions to the
Democratic campaign, which up to
Thursday night had reached 81 ,006,2 ,2S3.
Since the finance committee of the
campaign organization has two more
weeks for active work and Henry Ford
has embarked upon a programme of ex-
penditure that is expected to demand
an outlay of 100000, it is estimated
that the total cost Of the national cam
paign will amount TO considerably moro
than S2,000,00O A second report, which
must be filed at Washington within six
days, will record further collections by
the Democratic National Committee,
but will not contain the Ford expendi-
lures, which will not be made by that
organization.
One Gift of $4,000
One of the interesting features of
the preliminary report, which was for
warded to Washington late last night,
is the number of large contributions to
what was originally advertised as
dollar campaign fund" While the
contributions range from one cent to
$4,000, the majority of sums are be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000. The widow
who as an inmate Of a charitable in
stitution contributed 10 cents to the
cause of the President appears to have
stood alone in her sacrifice.
The largest contribution, that Of
$4,000 was made by Cleveland II.
Dodge, ce-president of Phelps, Dodge
g. Co., and a classmate Of President
Wilson, Princeton, '79. His first check
to the Democratic committee was for
$4,000, but he sent later one for
200 in memory of his class.
President Wilson contributed $500
to further his candidacy. That sum
was forwarded in the form of check
to Wilbur W. Marsh, treasurer Of the
Democratic National Committee, early
in the campaign. As far as is known,
it is all he has contributed to the
party's war chest since his renomina-
tion.

SCORES METHODS
Of LABOR UNIONS
SAYS UNIONS ATTEMPT TO DIG.
TATE ACTIONS OF STATE
LEGISLATORS.

ATLANTA Aug 9-Attempts by
labor unions of the cities to dictate
legislation without regard to condi-
tions in the rural districts came in for
bitter criticism in the house of rep
resentatves yesterday afternoon in the
course of the debate on the semi
monty pay day bill
This bill introduced by Representa-
tive Olive of Richmond county and
backed by a number of labor unions,
would require all employers of labor,
whether mental of PHYSICAL. and ex-
empting only farm labor, to pay their
employees at least twice a month.
Representative Stanke of Jackson
county. who halls from the town of
Commerce, declared he was tired of
labor unions debating to the legisla-
ture. There is never a session, he
said, when the laborites from the
cities don't swarm around the capitol
and try to cram lot of bills down
the threats of the lawmakers.
Representative Rich of Miller, a
lawyer, merchant anu undertaken. said
the same disposition to shut off the
opponents of this bill had been mani
tested during the debate that is mani
tested during debate on every bill in
which labor unions are interested.
Representative Elders of Tattnall
declared the advocates of the bill
were from the city counties and in
their anxiety to make themselves solid
with their respective labor constitu.
the members from the country dis
tricts. He said compulsory semi
monthly pay days in a number of
small industries of South Georgia
would be disastrous.
