ROUMAN|AN PORT CAPTURED
CONSTANZA FALLS BEFORE Won
MAcKENsEN'S ARMY.
Russo-Roumanians Suffer Disastrous
Rout, According to German and
Bulgarian War Offices.

Berlin. Oct. 24.-Constanza, Rou-
mania's greatest seaport, has fallen
before Field Marshal Won Mackensen's
army, 1t has just been officially an
nounced. Capture Of the city Is hailed
by German military men as of more
Importance than all the gains made
by the Allies since the SOmme often
sive began.
Official dispatches from the German
and Bulgarian war office indicate that
the Russo-Roumanians have suffered
a disastrous rout.
Allies Demoraiized.
Smashing northward along the
Black sea coast, Won Mackensen's
Austro-G erman-Bulga army oc,
cupied first the Roumanian port of
Tuzla and then swept onward through
strongly fortified Roumanian lines of
defense, marching IL miles to Con-
stanza in little more than two days.
The rapidity of the Teutonic advance
is accepted as an indication that the
Russians and Roumanians became de-
moralized and made an extremely dis.
ordered retreat.
Berlin Not Surprised.
An official statement from Sofia ear.
lier in the day, reporting the capture
of a village six miles south of Con-
stanza, prepared Berlin for news of a
great victory. No surprise was mani
tested here when it was announced
that Won Mackensen had pushed on
through the ruins of the Old Trojan's
wall and had occupied Constanza
itself
The 35-mile Constanza- Cernayoda
railway, leading across the Danube, is
the carrier over which Roumania has
derived large quantity of her sup
plies. The Teutonic right wing Is now
astride that railway at Constanza,
while Mackensen's center and left
wing are swinging forward to capture
the remainder of the road. Won
Mackensen is aiming principally at
Cernovoda and the great bridge over
the Danube.
Is Railroad Terminus.
Troops Of the Teutonic powers nave
crossed the railway line running be.
tween the Black sea port of Constanza
and the river Danube at point to
the east of Murfattar, the official an.
nouncement says.
Constanza was one Of the principal
detectives of Field Marshal Won Mack
ensen in his campaign in Dobrudja. It
is Of particular Importance by reason
of the fact that it is the eastern ter.
minus Of the only railroad between
the Black sea and the Danube Thence
the railroad runs westward into old
Roumania.

Cardui Wins Suit.

After a trial in the United States
District Court Of Chicago, before Judge
Carpenter and a federal jury, the jury
found the American Medical Associa-
ton guilty of libeling Cardui, the WON
ans tonic, which they had denounced
as "nostrum."
This is vindication of the medicine
and a proof that it has merit, which
was recognized by jury after a trial
of three months, one of the longest
civil cases on record.
Many doctors and chemists testified
on both sides and the evidence tOtaled
nearly four million words.
