when news of the loss of Rumania IS
only important seaport Is made public.
Mackensen' s easy victory at Constan-
"a was due partly to the Russo-Ruman-
ians' lack of ARTILLERY, II is understood
here When Falkenhayn began sweep
ing the Rumanians out of Transylvan-
len passes to check the invasion of their
western borders The Russians brought
rcinforcements in men to Dobrudia but
were unable to bring adequate artillery
equipment and the enemy batteries were
unable to offer effective opposition to
the Teutonic advance.
One report from Sofia today said that
Constanza was won with hardly any
fighting, the Rumanians evacuating
shortly after German detachments cut
the railroad to the west. Cavalry forces
entered the city in the afternoon and
found it deserted by the enemy.
The decisive victory over the Ruman-
ians is expected to have tremendous
influence in Greece, sitting the allies
attempts to win Grecce's armed sup
port.

Puzzles Detectives

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 24.-Detect.
ives today spread out q net for an al
legged aceomplice of Benton H. Barrett,
aged slayer, who confessed to the mur.
der of his wife and II year old stepson,
following an attempt to burn barn
on the Barrett farm, where the slayer
admitted the murder was done.
The case, officers admit, is one of
the most puzzling to solve in local
criminal history, Barrett, altering his
first story, gave his version of the kill
ing in the barn, refused TO give any
other motive than that of self defense,
while detectives declare his very story
contradicts this statement.
While police officer stood guard
over the death barn last night, fig
ure stole up out of the darkness and
tried TO throw flaming cloth into the
hay loft. Officer Benninger, who was
on guard, surprised the would-be incen-
daries, who escaped despite a shower
of bullets from Benninger's revolver.

New York, Oct. 24-Four million wo-

The two big parties admitted this
frankly today and said they re turning

Each side claimed the majority of the
women would be for them, but each was
just as frank in admitting that it Is
hard to tag women voters and that

As the republican woman's branch
put it, "the women will not vote as
their husbands, brothers and sweet

The democratic camp said, "suffrage
will not be a determining factor. Wo-

though this hunt for the elusive vote
might be rad, but for the most part

Both sides are making big drive on
strictly economic questions, arguing
that what affects men also affects wo-
men. Workers at Hughes headquarters
were busily engaged in mailing out a
list of questions for women to ponder,
involving largely matters of highar liv-
ing costs, tariff and the like. THEIR
circular suggested, too, that on strictly
women's and children IS matters the G.

Around the corner, near the Grand
Central station, the democratic women
were just as busy mailing out literature
to prove that the children IS bureau, the

of the reports of Villa 5 presence out

declare that the Villistas are on the

About midnight three hundred resi-
dents of chihuahua City arrived in Ju-
