GERMANS FEAR BEING
FLANKED: RETREATING
LONDON, Oct. 3.—A dispatch
from Rome shows that the sudden
invasion of Bulgaria by the Ruman
ians has thrown the plans ^>f von
Mackenzen into a state of disorder,
and the German leader fearing his
forces in Dobrudscha being envelop
ed by the Russians and Rumanians,
3has ordered the evacuation of both
Silistrla and Turkutai.
BERLIN, Oct. 3.—The with
drawal of the German and Ruman
ian forces from Sillstria and Turku
tai fs admitted. Large forces such
as Rumania is moving into Bulga
ria would seriously menace other
wise the left flank. Mackenzen is
now retiring southward on his left
flank from the Constanza railroad.
LONDON, Oct. .3—The heavy
pressure to which the Central Pow
ers are being subjected by the Ru
manians and Russians indicates that
the flanking operation inaugurated
by the Rumanians under the ad
vice of thej Russian Grand Head
quarters is proving successful.
Sofia is minimizing the import
ance of the invasion although only
official dispatches doing^so are al
lowed out of the country. No news
dispatches on th£ subject are arriv
ing.
The situation is reported to be
delighting the people of Rumania
and Bucharest is especially joyful.
BRYCE SAYS HARD
THINGS OF STRAFERS
BIRMINGHAM, England, Oct. 3.
*—Viscount Bryce, formerly British
Ambassador to the United States,
and a well known historian, today
delivered an address before the
Congregational Union which has
occasioned some stir in the country.
As an ex-cabinet minister unusual
importance was attached to his ut
terances which are frankly pacificist
and opposed to the policies now up
permost in government circles. He
pleaded for sanity in any considera
tion of war and international ques
tions, and decried the present gospel
of hate being carried with such vi
gor both in Germany and England.
Bryce said that neither the Germans
had cause to hate the English nor
had the English just cause* to hate
the Germans. He denounced the
idea had found popular favor, that
of a trade war which he said was an
infamous idea which would later on
be responsible for another desper
ate struggle between the civilized
nations. He advocated a leagbe
compelling arbitration. People may
well despair therefore if.any policy
is adopted which looks towards its
possible end as a recurrence of the
war.
He eulogized both Wilson and
Hughes for whose utterance for per
manent peace he had a profound
admiration. He declared that the
sooner national hatred ceased the
better it would be for all and the
better for the nations to aban
don the mad folly of a war whieh
was costing all the nations the lives
of their best and At their bravest.
This human loss was one that no
abstract conceptions of national ho
. nor could balance.
NEW WAR PARTY IS
LED RY AN EX-PREMIER
PARIS, Oct. 3.—Advices received
from Athens show that former Pre
mier Goumaris is now at the head
of the new war party which is form
ing. The party is a tremendous
power already although the royalist
party declares that they are .merely
followers of Venizelos in diguise.
The royalists charge that Venizelos
is a discreditted rebel Cretan and
no Greek can afford any longer to
admit connection with him.
In spile of this Allied representa
i i. ' —- " —
tivee insist that he is very strong po
litically even there and many of the
army heads are secretly in sympathy
with him. The greatest effort is be
ing made to suppress anything line
war demonstrations in the capital.
Peloponessus reports show that
repeated and violent pro-Veni/.elos
demonstrations have occurred, but
the royalists blame these upon the
Entente agitators. The press is l'ow
strictly curbed by the King.
LONDON, Oct. 3.—Everything is
quiet now on the Struma. The ilul
garians are withdrawing along <the
whole front. The Servians are main
taining the upper hand at Kaimnka
calan where the Bulgars efl'orls to
re gain the lost positions have all
of them been unsuccessful.
Sofia says that the Allies are still
waiting a Greek movement one wnv
or uiicther. ^
Let as estimate on jronr Job Work
LONDON, Oct. 3.—The Ruman
ians in a splendidly organized invad
ing force are now moving southward
to the Varna railroad and are in al
most immediate approach to circum
venting the Bulgar invasion of Do
brudscha. Reports show that the
Bulgars are withdrawing in haste
to prevent themselves being sur
rounded. The llghtenlnglike attack
by Rumania is characterized as a
stroke of genius and the experts are
wondering if the Rumanian generals
will take advantage of it to the full.
W. J. Rowe since he returned to
Nome, received a cable from the
steamship company in Seattle ask
ing him if he would not cancel
some of the apace he had secured
for the shipment of feed for his
teams. The big rush of freight to
the North leaves cargo space at .a
premium, but feed for all that
«ould nbt be left behind. He wlied
that they might yield some of the
lumber space to ship in necessities.

VIENNA, Oct. 3.—Under von Fal
kenhayne, the Teuton forces are
rushing an invasion ■ of Rumania
through the Transylvanian Alps.
The fighting is growing very despe
rate owing to the resistance of the
Rumanians in the mountain fast
nesses. The advantage of position
is all with the Rumanians.
VIENNA, Oct. 3.—--It is admitted
that the Austrian troops have been
obliged to withdraw on the Stripe
river after holding the Russians
back for a month.
The Russians are so weakened by
their attacks and the great losses
sustained that they are unable to
drive any longer against the Aus
trians who are retiring to better po
sitions which have been prepared
behind the lines.
PETROORAD, Oct. 3. —The Rus
sians are , still pressing forward in
Galicia, the Teutons again with
drawing from positions which they
held for a long time. It is believed
that they have sent some troops to
reinforce Mackenzen in the south.

TOKIO, Oct. 3.—The Okuma cabi
net resigned in a body today. There
is no reason assigned for the' mem
bers quitting and little comment Is
appearing in the press until more
details are received tjom govern
ment offlees. #'
The resignation is -apparently a
surprise to all parties as it was not
not known that there was any fric
tion among the members.
SEATTLE, Oct. 3.—Ambassador
Sato when shown the dispatch to
the effect that the Okuma cabinet
had resigned said it surprised him
greatly as when he left Japan every
thing was harmonious and he had
no idea that there Would be any
split in the Okuma government.
Sato was on his way to the train
for Washington when he was seen
by the reporters. He said that he
had no comment to make.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 3.—
Although the ambassador is absent,
officials at the Japanese embassy ad
mitted that the resignation of the
Okuma cabinet could hardly be con
sidered with surprise as such had
long been rumored in Japanese
newspapers. They refused to com
ment upon the probable causes of
the resignation declaring that it
would be necessary to await details
before doing so.
It is reported here that the ques
tions arising with China have had
much to do with the resignation.

FRENCH REPULSE SEVERE
COUNTERS IN THE WEST
PARIS, Oct. 3.—The Germans to
day made repeated attempts to re
gain those positions in the vicinity
of Combles which they recently
lost. They again and again renewed
the assaults upon the French posi
tions, but were repulsed every time
with great loss. The fury of the at
tacks did not decrease in each suc
cessive charge.
The German losses were exceed
ingly large.
PARIS, Oct. 3.—A violent artill
ery duel is now being carried on in
the vicinty of Rancourt where it is
expected infantry operations may
soon be ordered. There was no ad
vance by the Allies today, the great
er portion of the time being occu
pied in repelling German counter at
tacks which sometimes were severe
and dangerous.
LONDON, Oct. 3.—It is officially
announced that quiet reigned today
on the British sector on the Somme.
The artillery only betimes engaged
in a desultory exchange of fire, but
there was no effort at a sustained
bombardment.
BERLIN, Oct. 3.—The continued
quiet on the Somme front indicates
that the official view that the Brit
ish drive has spent its force is cor
rect. The losses which were so great
have evidently made a deep impres
sion Upon the enemy and there is
an unwillingness to press to gains
which can only .Joe earned at so ter
rific a price. There was quiet on
the Ancre today.
Anything in the line of Job work
POLITICIANS GET IN
THEIR COARSE WORK
WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 3.—
The politicians all over the country
ire now getting in their fine work
ind the stumpers are busy in almost
3very state. Wilson’s speeches have
been proving telling campaign ma
terial although in this he is rather
i surprise, just as the Hughes
speeches are a disappointment to the
republicans. The republican efforts
concentrated upon New York state
show that thqy attach infinite im
portance to the New York vote. The
socialist sentiment throughout the
country is proving, especially in the
west, a matter of astonishment to
aid line politicians.
EAST' ST. LOUIS, Oct. 3.—Vice
President Marshal told an enormous
gathering here today that Hughes
Is a dark war horse and his election
fact is that the two lines amalga
mated with a working capital of ten1
million to recompense the Pacific
Coast stockholders' for the loss of
their independent control.

meant that the United States would
be plunged in war within four
months after he took office. He de
clared that Hughes dare not state
what his foreign policy would he
because he knew that he would not
carry a single state if he did.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 3,—
Senator Smoot returned here., to the

he visited all the doubtful states
and he is now quite satisfied that

GREAT FALLS, Oct. 3.—Senator
Harding boosting Hughes along said
that the Adamson bill was a great
fraud: a fraud for labor'and a
fraud for capital and he was sur
prised to see astute labor leaders •
falling for this sort of bait, for it
was political wholly.
WOMAN GROWS QUITE
STOUT FOR HUGHES
ROCHESTER, Oct. 3.—Mary An
tin, well known in political circles,
stated to crowds today that there
could be no doubt that Wall Street
was championing Hughes in the in
terest of the working women of the
country. Realizing that Hughes
would support the suffrage and aid
the working women to vote, Wall
St. had decided that no better work
could be done than to elect Hughes
4
who would so aid in the work of
human betterment.
The speech of the lady was re
ceived with applause and by a
good many taken seriously as she
is supposed to he supporting
Hughes.
Democratic papers are having
some fun with the argument this
evening.

Hindenberg, by many regarded as

or blame. The Head of the General
