BATTLE^DOBRUDJA FRONT
International News Service.
LONDON, .Sept. 8.—The Russians
have joined forces with the Rouman
nns along the Dobrudjn frontier, ac
cording to dispatches from Rome, and
have opened a mighty offensive against
the Germans and Bulgarians.
The reports state that the Russian
movement extends over practically the
entire length of the Roumanian fron
tier south of the Danube and terrific
fighting is going on on a front nenr)\
one hundred miles in length.
The presence of the Russians in this
section was evidently well concealed j
from the Bulgarians as the detailed
reports of the fighting in this section
since the Bulgarian invasion contain
no reference to the Russians. In the
opinion of military critics rapid de
velopments may he expected in the
Balkan within a short time now that I
the Russians are in the field with a
powerful army. It is expected that a
defeat of the Bulgarians and Germans
in eastern Bulgaria will In followed

AMERICAN FEDERATION
PROPOSES WORLD
LABOR CONGRESS
International News Service.
WASHINGTON, I). C'., Sept. S.—The
proposals made some time ago by the
American Federation of Labor to hold
a worlds' labor congress in conjunc
tion with the projected world’s peace
congress for the purpose of aiding
the movement to bring the war to an
end, have been renewed by the fed
eration.
Secretary Frank Morrison announc
ed today that the federation has al
ready taken steps to lay the proposal
before the ttildes union bodies of
other nations in the hope that the
lime and conditions will appear to
a m propitious.
The earlier efforts of the federation
in this direction met with little re
.ponse owing to the almost universal
feeling that the plan would be inef
fective, as fiir as bringing the war lo
an end was concerned.
Morrison stated that the consent of
the British trades union is practically
tin’ only thing needed to further the
movement and there is much reason to
believe that the previous opposition
of that organization will now be with
drawn.

diers stationed in Athens and the im
mediate vicinity are preparing to join
the forces of the allies against the
Bulgarians and several train loads of
Greek troops have already departed to

Tho revolutionary spirit is now al

of the government. Reports from Sa
lonika disclose that the Greek revo
lutionists in that section arc continu
ing to apprehend German sympathizers
and hundreds have been arrested and
turned over to the allied military au
thorities for detention. The govern

ment today, President Itipley, of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe sys
tem, announced that his road and the

be recognized as valid in any respect
until subjected to the interpolation
and ruling of the court. The attitude
of the Santa Fe is expressive of the
inclination of all of the companies al
though several roads have already an
nounced their intention of conforming
to the law pending a test by the su
preme court. The railroads are un
doubtedly preparing to make every ef
fort to have th<- law declared invalid
and are reported to have engaged ad
ditional counsel to assist in the tight.
The railroad press is already com
mencing a campaign of denunciation
against the law accompanied by pre
dictions that the measure will be de
clared unconstitutional when In-ought
before the supreme court.
