Reported at All Points Along Russian Front Honors
Easy On the Somlne

London, Nov 11.---The great battle between Russo
Rumanan forces and Mackensens troops in the Dobuda
for possession of the bridge that crossed the Danube at
Cernavoda continues. Advices today from Bucharest
Perograd and Berlin regarding yesterdays fighting en-
phasize this conflict the most important operation of
the day on any Of the many fronts.
Occupation Of the Dunereav station about two miles
due west Of Cernavoda claimed by. Petrograd and
not denied from Berlin appears to have given the Sav
onic armies at least temporary advantage in their eff
forts to press back or enveop General Mackensens left
flank which rests the Danube. Military experts here
say Sav at this point would change the complex
ion of the Dobuda front materially, with great disad
vantage to the Teutons.
Russians are reported in strong force about Cernavo
da. They reported hurriedly bringng~up artillery
for final smash.
Reports of sangunary fighting in this sector appeared
to be born out by other reports to Petrograd of hundreds
of dead picked up in territory from which Mackensens
forces have been hammered back.
There was still some doubt here to the sharp fight
ing about Predea. Both sides claimed the advantage.
The Berlin statement admitted the Pennsylvania Ruman
ian armies adopted strong offensive but that all attacks
were repelled Petrograd advices said the Rmanians

NEW ADVENTURES FOR BOYS.

It is said that American boys losing their old ideals that is their ideals of piracy and Indian fighting fao Bill has retired and the Wild West longer calls to the imagination of the average American youth. All he about today airships submarines and perhaps British tanks.
 Is this really change in boy nature, woeful disap- pearance of his adventureloving spirit? Perhaps. But perhaps not, too.
 When the American boy of other days went forth to play Indian or pirate boy, he making up absolutely game. He was reliving the days of his fathers his grandfaher's boyhood He was still close to frontier days with adventure and hardship and their demand for courage.
 Those days have given place to new ones in which arships and submarines figure largely swords And the boy like his elders seeking adventure in fields. When he goes exploring is larger scale. Instead sailing the seas as pirate he goes fearless submarine commander. magi- nation is active ever, but his games initiate the narves of today instead of those of yesterday i'm agine that Tom Sawyer had he lived today would have led airp fleet instead of band of buccaneers And he would have been no less a Tom Sawyer
