Berlin, Sept. 29.---Major Moraht, the military expefit of the Tageblatt, discussing the latest developments on the Somme front, says: "We should err in under-estimat- ing theeffect of this tactical success of the enemy.

Petrograd, Sept. 28 (via London, Sept. 29).--Russian troops thrown suddenly and forcefully into battle have saved the situation in Dobrud- ja, where the Rumanians were hard pressed, according to advices from Rumania by way of Odessa.

Now the situation is well in hand and Russians and Rumanians are press- ing the Bulgars and their allies back. The Rumanians are steadily over-runing Transylvania, despite local setbacks in the south. The furthest point reached is Odorkhei, on the rallroad running to Budapest, twenty-seven miles from the fron- tier. Commenting on the improved sit- uation in Dobrudja, the Vittorol of Buéharset says: "The big battle has DEFENSE CRUMBLING, SAYS FRENCH CRITICS The German Armies Will Be Wasted Before They Reach the Meuse. Paris, Sept. 29.--French Jubila- tion over the continued success of the allied armies is reflected in the following symposium of views ex- pressed by foremost military critics and observers: By Gen. Berthaut--The fall of Combles and Thiepval on the same day destroys the validity of the Ger- man defensive away. Still are ahead. By Gustave Herve--The German armies will be completely wasted ho- fore they reach the Meuse, The moment will arrive when the wall will be breached and our victorious armies will bury the Germans under an avalanche. Let the God of arms give us six weeks of fine weather and we shall see what the Germans will get. . By Senator Hubert-- Prince Rup~ precht is mistaken.
