[CROWD IS QUITE LIVELY Between 1,000 and 1,500 persons walked away from the municipal audi- torium at 8 o'clock Monday, disap- pointed because there was no room inside for them. § The house had been “sold out” | early in the day, but the demand for | “Carmen” was so insistent that 500 additional chairs were placed at strategic points and quickly sold When standing room tickets were of- fered for sale, the 300 offered were snapped up as eagerly. It was then that Manager Franke decided to close the doors in the interest of safety. At 7:30 o’clock, traffic for blocks around the Auditorium was blocked with automobiles carrying smartly dressed men and stylishly garbed women, Came in All Sorts, Hundreds of persons who came by auto got out of their machines sev- eral blocks from the Auditorium, rather than wait for the slow-moving line, and walked the remainder of the distance.

Canada Faces the Menace of a Great Berlin, Oct, 24.—(By wireless to Sayville.)—Commenting on the vic- tory of Field Marshal von Macken- sen’s armies in the Roumanian province of Dobrudja, the military critic of the Oversees News agency writes: “The capture of Constanza by Bul- garian, German and Turkish troops under command of Field Marshal von Mackensen is the hardest blow Rou- mania has received during the entire campaign. Through it the Rouman- ians have lost their largest seaport, a port noted in international trade for its shipments of grain and petroleum. Simultaneously the ‘Roumanians lost their main line of communication with Russia by way of the Black Sea, a loss which is bound to have a far- reaching consequence for Roumania in carrying on its military operations. “Russia has been able to send its army by way of Constanza in large steamers, material and men which then found their way into" interior Roumania on the main railroad lines from Constanza to Bucharest, The marine transports are now limited in their operations to Sulina and the Danube ports, where only vessels of small tonnage can dock and unload. “In addition to this general influ- ence upon Roumanian warfare, how- ever, the loss of Constanza is of de- cisive’importance as regards the mil- itary situation’in Dobrudja. The rail- road line from Constdnza to Tcherna- voda is already partly in the hands of the allied ‘Germans, Turks and Bul- garians. East of Murfatlar this line has already been crossed by the at- tacking armies and yon Mackensen's Teft wing is appfoaching Tchernavoda. For these reasons the section of the railroad between Murfatlar and Tchernavoda is also apparently with- out value to the Roumanians. Thus the quick transport of troops and artillery to especially = threatened points of the Dobrudja front is ren- dered impossible. Furthermore - an excellent base of operations has been taken from the Roumanians and Rus-| sians, , “The encircling movement by Teu- tonic forces at Hermanstedt changed the Transylvanian adventure of the Roumanians into a speedy/ and com- plete defeat. In the same way the capture of Constanza and the inter- ruption of communication from Rou- manians constitutes a decisive blow to them in the Dobrudja theater. The advance planned by the Roumanians and Russians through Dobrudja a?ainst the Bulgarians and the line of communication bctwcenh Sofia and thus Constantinople has frustrated.” Charges Against Chicago's Chief of Police Withdrawn Chicago, Oct. 24.—Application for warrants for the arrest of Chief of Police Charles C. Healey, William' Lu- thardt, his secretary, and others on charges of malfeasance and conspir- acy was withdrawn by States Attor- ney Hoyne today in the hearing be- fore Chief Justice Olson of the mu- nicipal court. Chief Justice Olson, in his ruling permitting States Attorney Hoyne to drop the charges, said that on the 2trength of evidence submitted during he hearing he would have been com- pelled to refuse the warrants asked by the state, Chief Healey, Luthardt and Charles been T.

A week fater ‘bids for four scout cruisers and twenty submarines will be opened, the seven days’ delay having been granted bidders, who said it was im- ossible to fill out necessary papers ?or all the ships at one time. Representatives of several ahif— building companies have informally asked the department to put off open- ling of all bids until December, urg- ing that the difficulty in obtaining es- timates of cost of material required additional time. If formal request for postponement is made tomorrow when the bids are opened, it is possi- ble a new. date will be set. The de- partment has followed the, custom of nearly fifty years, however, in allow- ing sixty ‘days for advertisement and is anxious to ‘have building begun in the shortest possible time, There will be no difficulty getting steel for the new ships, it is said, al- though an increase in price has been noted by prospective bidders.
