The tide of the great battle in the Rumanian Province of Dobrudja has again turned, this time in favor of “the central powers, according to Ber- lin today. Field Marshal Von Mack- ensen has succeeded in breaking the Rumanian and Russian resistance, the German war office reports, executing an encircling movement which com- pelled the entente forces to retreat in disorder. It was only last night that an of- =ficial announcement from Bucharest declared that the battle which had been in progress for six days had end- ed on Wednesday with the defeat of the Germans, Bulgarians and Turks who were retiring southward, burning villages as they went. If the German victory turns out to be a decisive one, the situation prom- ises to develop seriously for the Ru- ~manians and Russians, who have been fighting to protect the rallway running from Constanza, on the Black Sea, to Tchernavoda, on the Danube. The battle was fought not more than twenty miles south of the railroad at stake, and its loss would mean the cut- ting of the convenient water route of communization between Russia and Rumania by way of the port of Con- stanza. Through Tchernavoda in ad- Mdition, lies the route to interior Ru- mania over the only bridge spanning ‘the Danube along the entire Dobrud- ja front. Entente Scores New Successes.

The pupils of that school think of society life only hey live for their | automobiles, their silk stockings, their | parties and balls, for dancing and pleasure.” “What would be your remedy for | those conditions?” asked Edward J.
