Army Will Need Help Austro
, Germans Are Well Below
Highest Lievel of Pass.
IX)NDON. Oct. 16. A wireless mes
sage from Petrograd today says that
the Teutonic lines In Dobrudja have
been withdrawn to the vicinity of
Dobrlch (Bazardjik), in the southern
portion of the province.
Xing' Ferdinand of Roumania has
visited Dobrudja, where the situation
is excellent, the message declares.
Teutonic pressure against the Rou
manians along the Transylvania fron
tier continues unabated, according to
the latest official reports, and at one
point at least King Ferdinand's forces
have been driven back well within
their own territory.
The situation on the Roumanian
frontier occupies the leading position
on the news and editorial pages of the
London newspapers. The Roumanians,
' according to the latest official state
ment, have been forced back six or
seven miles at one point in their own
country. They are making a stand at
Rucaru, which Is a'amall town, toward
the southern end of the Torzburger
Pass. At Rucaru the Austro-Germans
are well below the highest level of the
pass. South of this town the road
runs ten miles through a rolling coun
try to the rail head of Campulung,
which is practically on the edge of
the Roumanian plain and 75 miles
from Bucharest.
The Times says: "The enemy has
advanced Into Roumania through the
Torzburger Pass, and the Roumanians
ere fighting on their own soil at
Rucaru. Apparently they have tem
porarily lost possession of all but the
southern approaches of Torzburger
Pass. Further north the enemy pene
trated -to the crest of Cltoz Pass, but
was then driven back In a. fierce en
counter. In the other passes the
enemy is making no progress but until
effective help reaches the Roumanian
second army we must expect, varying
fortunes In this district."

more promptly. He said:
"It can he said that the State De
partment discussed the- Sir Roger Case

sador on several occasions. Informally,
but In great detail, before the passage
of the resolution: that the senate reso
lution was prepared on Saturday and
that the Ambassador at once conveyed
the information to the British govern

the day of execution, when the Am
bassador and I were again discussing
the subject, he showed me a cable
from his government stating that his
government had considered the Case
ment case and the resolution of the
Senate, and had come to the conclusion
that, in view of all the circumstances.
It could not grant clemency.
"Particular stress was laid, as 1 re
call, by the British government on
the Tact that irisn prisoners in uer
many who refused to assist Casement
had been punished. The statements
made -in letters to Mrs. Newman, that
had the resolution been presented in
time her brother's life would have been
spared, were utterly and entirely with

the actual message from his govern

been reached that clemency could not
