CADORXA'S DRIVE ON TRIESTE
A SERIODS MENACE TO TOLA
Austria's Great Naval Base in Danj-er
of Peine Cut Off
Today's advices from Home are to the
effect that General Cadorna'a troops, en
gaged now In a fresh drive on the chief
Austrian seaport, are gripped In battle with
the Austrlans In a aone only nine mite
from Trjeste. The cn'tre line of the Carso
Plateau, that Is of that section of the
plateau which Is known aa Carso Oorlxlano,
covering the approaches to Trieste, haa
fallen before the attacks of the Italians,
but the Austrian-. hao defended It valiantly
and not without reason.
The fall of Trieste, which la expected be
fore the winter season, renders Improbable
a new crand offensive, not only means for
Austria the loss of her only great seaport,
but a serllous menace to Tola, the great
Austrian naval base, as well. It is well
known that while Cadorna'a Immediate ob
jective is Trieste, lila strictly military ob
jective Is Lalbacli, where the whole of the
Istrlan Peninsula can be cut off from the
rest ot the empire.
The naal base ot Fola, however, can be
cut off only a comparatively short distance
from Trieste, less than eight miles to the
east, by a successful advuuee of Cadorna'a
troops on the single railroad which crosses
the peninsula, from north to south. I'ola la
connected to the rest of Austria by this
single railroad, and should this be cut east
ot Trieste, the natal base could be supplied
pnly through ordinary roads or from the
sea. In the first case supplies or troops
would not reach it but too late in case of an
emergency. In the second case, supplies
and troopships can he stopped by a blockade
ot the Quarnero Gulf. Moreover, the only
good road crossing the Clcceria section ot
the Carso, that Is the highest section, is
that of TzercAenl road, which leads from
Flume to PIsluo, and Is quite heavily graded,
iueentlng all the difficulties of an alpine
toad, though running very near to the Quar
nero ehore.
Hence the obstinacy of the Austrlans In
defending- the approaches to Trieste, the fall
ot which would open the way for land and
sea operations against Pola.

ALLIES BEGIN FLANK MOVE
AGAINST BULGARS EAST AND
WEST; ATTACK IN CENTER
PAIUS, Oct. 12.
A heavy blow was dealt to the Bulrarlan
left wlnr In eastern Macedonia when British
troops cut the railroad between Demtr Uls
ter and Seres, the main artery ot this part
ot th Bulgar line. British cavalry forces
are only two miles from Seres.
A British cavalry brigade cleared the
country around Seres of Bulrarlan troop,
but found the city of Seres lt-elt strongly
occupied by the Bulgar, it was otTIclally
announced today,
In th canter ot the ISO-mile battle line
French Infantry cut through the Bulgar
first line, taking- by storm the trenches on
the heights west ot DevedJIII. Th French
here are on the Serbian border
The Serblau army Is meeting desperate
resistance from the Bulgars. Itelnforce
mentn hae been sent to the Bulgar right
wing.
The British are firmly established on both
sides ot the Demlr Hlssar Ilatlroad, They
have occupied Topnlova. between the rail
road and the Struma, and Prosenlk, east ot
the railroad.
At the northern enei or their new front
on the east bank of the Struma the British
are able to observe the Bulgar troops six
miles from Demlr Hlssar. Tha latest Brit
ish statement announces that Bulgar work
ing parties are bnsy there, evidently digging
new trenche. In an attempt to atop the
British advance. The new Bulgar line Is
belnr due Vetween BarakH and Barak
Jums, cast and wet respectively, of th
railroad.
Itavinr cut th railroad, thus menaclnr
the communications of the whole Bulgar
left wlnr. which Is composed ot the seventh,
ninth and tenth divisions, the British are
pushlnr out north and south toward Demlr
Illssar and Sere.
The Bulgar positions In eastern Mace
donia depend mainly upon the railroad from
Demlr Illssar. which curves down through
fSeres to brama, and finally east to Adrian-
ople. It Is the only railroad In the occupied
territory, which I mountainous and haa
poor roads.
Ist night' statement ot the French War

TEUTONS FIGHT ON RUMANIAN
SOIL; ASSUME OFFENSIVE IN
i DOBRUDJA; HOLD INITIATIVE
LONDON, Oct II.
Fishtlnr Is now in progress on Rumanian
soil at two points. General ion Falken
hayn's Baarlans, who aept down the Alt
Valley and through Red Tower Pass, are at
Brips with the army or uenerai raimceano,
the Rumanian cominanderln-chief.
In Dobrudja Province the Bulgar-German
army under Field Marshal von MacUensen
Is attacking the Rumanian defenses on the
Danube Jn an effort to cross the rler.
The Rumnnlan forces In Dobrudja have
been put under; command of General -Vver-etco,
former minister of war. He was for
merly In command In the north and It was
he Mho led the Rumanian troops that In
vaded Hungary.
In the Georgeny. Alt, Mares and Buxeu
River Valleys, In Transylvania, the German
and Austrian troops are continuing their
forward sweep. Bucharest admits the re
tirement of Rumanian forces In three of
these directions, clatmlnr progress only In
the Jhil VaJIey. '
Rumania's situation is critical. Obsen ers
here are unanimously of tills opinion. Some
see little hope for her; others believe she
will pull out all rirht with the aid of the
Vllusslans. Tho military critic of the Man
chester Guardian declares mat wuuoui re
inforcements from Russia King Ferdinand's
troops have little hope of turning- back the
Teuton hordes. This crltlo condemns Ru
mania for attemptlnr the Transylvania cam
paign. "FalUenhayn's campaign," he aays, "bears
witness to the fact that in arranging" her
plana Rumania made the mistake of think
ing the Russian were o the point of break
ing through the Carpathian defenses. On
any supposition her invasion of Transylva
nia Is wholly Indefensible.
"Six months ago," he adds, "Hlndenburr
planned to launch his mightiest blow east
and southeast from Kovel and southeast
from Lcmberr- The Rumanians' invasion
ot Trarlsylvanla chanced the German plans
