ALLIES CAPTURE
MONASTIR WITH
STRATEGICAL GAINS
International Nawa Service.
LONDON, Nov. 20.—Monastir foil
to the allies on Sunday according to
official information. The Buigar
and German defenders exacuated the
citadel and retreated to the north
ward where they have taken up new
positions in the hilly country.
The drive on Monastir wa3 par
ticipated in by Servians, British,
French, Russians, and Italians. No
time was lost by the allies in pres
sing after the retreating enemy as
their evacuation of the city was ex
pected by the allied high command.
It is officially pointed out that the
capture of Monastir is a decisive
blow to the enemy as it menaces the
entire German Buigar line southwest
of Sofia.
It is a further' enormous advan
lage to the allies in that it renders
the position of Bulges ancl Ger
mans exceedingly precarious. It is
believed by experts here that now
the Austro-IIungurians will be com
pelled to withdrawn from all of
southern Albania.

BERLIN, Nov. 20.—It is officially

ian forces in southern Servia have

great loss and became strategically
n°ecssu) y because of the encircling
movement of a vastly superior force
of the 'enemy . The new positions
are Hi;ongly hi Id at present and no
pii'. t cl f-'ister may be looked for to
the enton arms In this quarter.

TEUTONIC ALLIES MAKE
ENORMOUS ADVANCES
THROUGH ROUMANIA
International News Service.
LONDON, Nov. 20.—The Times
i
victi ry a t
. 'oi'astir, important as it is to the
rixKstul issue of tlie Servian, M
bepian and Bulgarian campaigns, Is
completely eclipsed by the block
cl. ud which hangs over the entente
operations around Roumanla.
The Times says: "The salvation of
Roumania looks blacker than ever
since Von Fakenhayne assumed
command of the Teuton forces in
Transylvania and Von Mackensen
- took charge in the Dobrudja. From
the day they began simultaneously
n September to drive on the west
an t cast borders of Roumania their
i successes have been uniform and ap
pealing in spite of all efforts of the
Rti i io-Roimianian allies to oppose
Up. :n,"
Lite Times quotes official and
>.*r i-ctficiai reports from all sources
, md shows that the German general
staff has not been giving out 'he
least information of their undenia
ble successes In Transylvania and
I their invasion of Roumania from the
west. They have covered their vic
tories and successful advances into
Roumania by indefinite announce
ments of small detachments of Rus
sians and Roumanians taken pris
onei In Transylvania. The oeupa
tlcn of Dobrudja by Von Macken
sen and his crossing the Danube at
Ccrnadova and his threatening ad
vance on Bucharest along the rail
road came almost entirely from of
ficial reports from Russia and Rou
mania,
Now, the Times thinks, the time
| lias come when the world should be
j apprised of the fact that the Teutons
! are making enormous strikes to
j wards the complete subjugation of
Roumania. The facts as stated by
the Tiimes and obtained from offi
j cial sources are that Von Falken -
haync has long since,, crossed... the
' i.
Transylvanian Alps «n;i c,ir
western part of Roumania to a
tance or over fifty miles,
j His troops have descended on the
Orsova-Cr&Jova railroad which is the
only line running east and west in
this part of that country and have
destroyed the lino for a long dis
tance. At the present time he is
probably sweeping the Roumanians
and Russians before him in a move
ment which seriously menaces
Bucharest from the west.
From Dobrudja no late news has
come from which it may be deter
mined whether the slight recent gains
against Von Mackensen have bc-’n
duplicated or whether he haB again
assumed the offensive.
International News Service.
BERLIN, Nov. 20.—The official
statement says that all is quiet on
the eastern front. Germans have
repulsed a Roumanian attack north
west of Camp Flung.

V. Nov. 20.—Attacks b;t the

apumo from the west and south have
been repulsed by the Germans, ac
cording to official announcement.
FEDERATION TO INDORSE
UNIVERSAL STANDARD
OF EIGHT HOUR DAY
International News Service.
BOLTIMOUE, Nov. 20.—For the ’
first time in two decades the radi
cal element of the American Feder
ation of Labor has had the power to
carry a nea.sure over the head of
and in spite of llo protest of Sam
uel Gompers, the president of the
federation.
This happened today during the
proceedings of the federation when
a resolution was lntroduc<d endors
ing the proposed universal eight
hour day to establish which a su'di
No bill will be proposed in congress
with a view to a constitutional
amendment.
There was a well defined division
in the convention and Gompers pro
test- d t gcrously against the adop- j
uon of the resolution. The radical '
- lenient have shown great strength
in the debate and are said to be able
to beat Gompers’ control .1 n the
showdown.

LIFELESS
lr ternational News Service.
PEROGRAD. Nov. 20.—Tho offi
cial communique contains Informa
tion to the effect that Russo-Rou
manian forces in the Jinl valley In
Transylvania have been forced to re
tire. The retreat Is now in progress
and will be continued until positions
for strong defensive operations ere
reached.
The communique mentions with
approvnl the capture of MonosHr by
the allies and the withdraw xl of
Germans and Bulgars to the hills to
the north of the city but the tone of
the war news is gloomy as has been
the case for a week. No se-ious re
verses are mentioned which would
account for the lifeless quality of th<
meager news which is given.
