THE MORXIXG OREO ONI AN, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 191G. TEUTONS CAPTURE DANUBE FORTRESS Mighty Stronghold of Silistria in Roumania Seized by Von i Mackensen's Army. RUSSIANS REACH VARNA Swift Advance of Czar's Army Is Menace to Bulgarian-German Force Allies on Macedonian Front Score Heavily. - BT ARTHUR S. DRAPER. (War Correspondent for the New Tork Tribune. By Special Cable.) LONDON, Sept. 10 (Special.) The fire of Germans and Bulgarians invading- Roumania has battered down an other great Danube fortress. Overcom ing' the most stubborn resistance by his superiority In numbers, von Mackerv en has pushed east along the river from Turtukal, which he captured last Thursday, and has .seized Silistria. 1 Even In the most optimistic military circles here the fall of this Becond pow erful link in the Roumanian border de fenses is admitted tc be a severe re verse for the Roumanians. Position Is Important. The importance of Silistria to the de fense of Southern Roumania and Bu- charest has been demonstrated in ear lier wars. "With Turtukal, It formed ,the bastion of the 70-mile line of forti- ' fications in the Dobrudja along the southern bank of the Danube. Only 60 miles southeast of the Roumanian capl- : tal, it offers von Mackensen another base from which to launch a thrust at the heart and the main arteries of the : country. " - At the same time the German com ' Jnander .faces mighty obstacles to an ' advance across the Danube, and a sub ' nequpnt march into the enemy's land. ;.The Danube at these points is wide and : deep. Its northern bank bristles with i puns long trained on every foot of the tream, where a crossing might be at tempted by hostile forces. Russians Advancing: Swiftly. Even to hazard a river before these ; strong defenses had been reduced and i, the Roumanians driven back from the i- ground near the river would be to In vite disaster. , But more Important than this Is the menace to which the Germans and Bulgarians are exposed by swift ad vance of the strong Russian forces to their south. The Czar's troops in con Junction with the Roumanians have forged ahead southwest of Dobrlc and overwhelmed several points on the Bulgarian frontier. The Bulgarians are ' evacuating Varna, the principal port on the Black Sea, according to a semi-official news agency dispatch from Odessa. Allies Winning Way. The allied forces in Macedonia are continuing their successes, methodically clearing mile after mile of ground and preparing for larger operations in the near future in conjunation with the al lied forcu on other fronts. Today the Anglo-French forces swept the Bulgars out of several trenches In the region east of Vetrenik, while the Italians added to the protection of their south ern front in Albania, wresting from the enemy the heights between Porto Palermo and Subasc, on the Voyusa. T rr. i i . i t -i x ii if j w ti i laiiei vauijt 1. 1 1 1- nuuman lans were driven back more than two miles after a sharp encounter between Petroseny and Hatzeg, but immediately countered ,with a furious assault against the Austrians' . southern wing and forced it back at every point. South of Dornava the Roumanians are now battling with German forces. XjOSS ESTIMATED AT 80,000 Roumanians Said to Have Suffered 'Heavily at Turtukal. BERLIN., Sept. 10. (By wireless to Sayvllle.) Major Moraht, military critic of the Tageblatt, calculates the Roumanian losses in connection with the capture - by the Bulgarians and Germans of the Danube fortress of Turtukai at not less than 80,000. He estimates the Russian army in Dobrudja at between- 300,000 and 400, 000, and points out that Turtukai was expected to. protect Bucharest from a flanking movement. CZAR'S-OFFICER PUNISHED Russian AVho Violated Swedish Neu trality Loses Command. STOCKHOLM, via London, Sept. 10. The commanding officer of the Russian submarine which seized the German steamer Desterro in Swedish territorial waters, has been removed from his command and severely punished, espe cially for his abuse of the Swedish flag, says the reply of the Russian government to the Swedish protest concerning the capture. The Desterro will be released immediately. The German steamers Lissabon and Worms, the Russians maintain, were captured outside Swedish territorial waters. Their cases will be referred to a Russian prize court. DUTCH TO AID WAR BABIES Young Children From France to Find Haven in Holland. BERLIN, via London, Sept. 10.

ROUMANIA OFFERED NOTHING FOR PEACE Austrian Minister Says Only Surprise Was Suddenness of. War Declaration. RUSSIAN ARMY RESPECTED Diplomat Declares Dual Monarchy Has More Than Held Its Own and Prophecy Made Is That Newest Foe Will Be Sorry. VIENNA. Sept. 7, via Berlin to Lon don, Sept. 10. In a thoroughly frank manner the Austro-Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs. Baron Stephen Burlan von Rajecz. discussed today In an Interview with the correspondent of the Associated Press the position of the dual monarchy in the world war. which, he said, had been erroneously charac terized by enemies and certain neutrals as unsatisfactory. "Austria-Hungary is far from lying down, as hoped by some," said the Minister in a tone carrying conviction. "It is true we would hail peace with Joy. but not the sort of peace our ene mies would impose. So long as we have to defend ourselves against those who want to take part of our territory, we naturally are unwilling to discuss peace and so long we are determined to hold out and win. The thought that we are eager for peace on any terms originates probably in minds hoping that such will become the case." Kothlng Offered Roumania. The Minister then reviewed the situ ation prior to Roumania's declaration of war, and said. "We offered Roumania no territorial concessions at any time after having discovered in the case of Italy that the world was likely to mistake our rea sonable attitude for weakness. Nor were we ever taken by surprise by Roumania. What did fool us was that Roumania made up her mind so quick ly. We knew In June, after the setting In of the latest Russian offensive, that Rome and Bratlano (the Roumanian Premier) had made' a definite bargain. We also knew that Roumania was not quite ready toward the end of August. "For all that, our military authori ties made all possible preparations, which did not consist, as has been be lieved, in holding the mountain sum mits and passes along the Roumanian border, but which consisted in the establishment in- the line of defense now occupied by our troops. Contrary to the general impression, the falling back of our troops has been of no ad vantage to the Roumanians, which fact has Anally dawned on the Roumanian military commanders, since they have become very cautious recently. War Declaration Expected. "The military field is not my depart ment. I know that Roumania's action was no surprise, despite the fact that the Roumanian diplomats lied to me constantly. Toward the last their as surances became too fervent and .their lying too patently obvious; so I reached the conclusion that trouble was not far off. Whether the declaration of war was due on Sunday or Tuesday I did not know. But I felt It was due, be cause, in addition, the reports from Bucharest Indicated that the Russian pressure was getting more severe each day, the entente governments wanting to add to the weight of their own futile offensives in the east and west and Salonikl, the great impression the war declaration was expected to make, but did, in reality, not make, because we were ready for it. "Well, Roumania wlli have a good chance -to rue her bargain, it I am not mistaken. "The fact is we are far from being completely dead, as some think." Replying to a question as to the monarchy's military and economic sta tus at this moment, the Minister said he had no anxiety on that score. But, he added: , "Some think we are not -doing enough. In addition to holding the Italians checked, we have managed to render useless Brusiloff's great offen sive, which is not exactly child's play: the Russian soldier is a valiant and stubborn enemy." The Minister then discussed the gen eral situation of the dual monarchy. Entente Allies Blamed. "We have the determination," said he, "to emerge from this sad and dei plorable affair, into which we were forced by a private affair with Ser bia and which the entente group mads a pretext for descent upon ourselves and our allies. Sooner or later it must dawn upon our enemies that this entire business is useless. But I sup pose not before the English Kitchener army has broken more heads against the steel wall of Germans in France or the French have en further deci mated, while the Russians ar dying like flies every day in the East. "But a ray of intelligence must break some time, whicH I hope will be soon for the sake of all mankind. Until that day comes our enemies will always find us willing to do our best to defeat their evil plans. There may be some who say that for military rea sons we ought to be the first to start peace overtures. I do not think so, as long as our antagonists speak of the partition of our country among them selves. We have defended our soil pretty well so far, and will do it longer long enough to make the oth ers tired of it, anyway."
