ADLER'S DEED DEPLORED
BY AUSTRIAN SOCIALISTS
Vienna Press Brands Him as Vile,
irresponsible Criminal

VIENNA, oct. 24.--If DR.. Friedrich
Adler thought to rally followers about him
by his assassination of the Austrian Pre-
mier, Count Karl Sturgkh. he is doomed to
disappointment. Throughout the empire
his act is being deplored and looked upon
as the deed of fanatic II is disavowed
by the Socialist party and press and con-
demned by his father, Victor Adler. Social
list member of Parliament. Nowhere is
there any sympathy for the assassin.
In the Austro-Hungarian press Adler
is branded as a vile irresponsible criminal.
That the deed should have disturbed the
peace of the people Is deplored. Govern
ment circles deny that the murder can have
an influence on the political situation or
the course of the war.
The city has recovered rapidly from
the shock of the assassination. The as
sassin has no accomplices, the police are
convinced.

SERBS CAPTURE TRENCHES
In RENEWAL OF DRIVE
ON MONASTIR, PARIS SAYS

Serbian troops have resumed the advance
against Monastlr capturing German-Bul-
gar trenches to n depth of half mile and
inflictlng heavy losses on the enemy, 1t was
officially announced today.
The Serbian gain was made Immediately
after the repulse Of several enemy attacks
by Serbian artillery. Turk-German units
recently arrived at the Cerna River front,
co-operated with the Bulgars.
All operations have stopped on the Struma
front on the Allies right wing because Of
floods. On the Lake Doiran front artillery
activity has been very lively. The British
took an enemy trench near Nakukovo, cap
turing 20 Germans.

blow yet sustained BY Rumania," writes
tho military critic Of the Overseas News
Agency today. Tho German allies have
Struck the Humaninns on n vital nerve. The
Rumanians have now lost their larsest
seaport--a port which was prominent In
the worlds trade BY the big shipments OF
grain and oil which were made from H.
At the same time the Rurnanians have lost
their main line OF communication with
Russia which must have far-reaching con-
sequences on the Rumanians.
Russia was able 20 send by way of
Constanza large shipments Of war materials
and reinforcements OF men. These we're
sent into sfhe interior on the constansa-
Bucharest railroad Sea transportation be-
tween Russia and Rumania is now limited
20 the sullna and Danube ports. but only
boats Of small tonnage can approach these
places.
Besides this the general influence upon
Rumanian warfare Ia Of decisive import
ance."
Tho statement adds that the capture OF
part OF the railway line will enable the
Germans to make quick shifts OF guns
and troops 70 any threatened point and
furnishes a good base OF operations. The
German victory In Dobrudja, the expert
concludes, prevents any possibility Of the
Russians invading Bulgaria through east
ern Rumania to strike at the railway line
linking Turkey with the Central Powers.
PARIS, Oct "a
Military critics of the French press de-
voted considerable space today to the cap
ture OF Constanza by the German allies.
The Matin says that the fall of Constanza
may permit Won Mackensen's army 10 march
on bucharest and overrun Moldavla. On
the other hand, the Echo believes that Won
Mackensen will not be able to get any fur
ther than the Danube.
II Is admitted that the Teutonic victory
was an important one and that 1t may
open up great stores OF grain and oil for
the German allies in Rumania.
LONDON. Oct. "a.
The Morning Post in discussing the cap
ture OF Constanza by the German allies
said today;
while the loss OF Constansa is serious
the threat against Cernavoda is more serl-
GUS The only bridge across the Danube
between Belgrade and the Black Sea is at
Cernavoda. Complete possession OF the rail-
way and bridge by the Germans would open
up the way to Bucharest. the Rumanian
capital"
