TEUTONS HOLD ALT RIVER LINE Invaders in All Directions Continue Prosrress Towards Capital of Rumania, London, Nov. 27. The entire line of the Alt River in Rumania running north and south through the country from the Transyi vanian Alps to the Danube, now is in the hands of the Teutonic Allies. In all directions the in vaders are continuing to make progress, with Bucharest their main objective, daily coming nearer The southern and eastern drive in the Alt region hasbrougnt the Teutonic forces across .the Topo log River, while to south be tween Rochi de Vede and Valeni their line has been drawn con siderably nearer the Rumania Capital. Alxandria, 47 miles southeast of Bucharest, has been neken by Field Marshal von Mack Jensen's troops. . Considering the swiftness of the advance of the Teutonic Al lies through Wallachia compar ative few prisoners have been taken, although semi-official re ports credit them with having captnred considerably supplies ol needed stores. Near Orsovo, 28 effioers and 1,200 men were made prisoner, while in thcAlt region, near Tigveni 10 additional offi cers and 400 men fell into the Teutons. In a big battle extending over a front of about 17 miles north west and northeast of Mot) astir, between Trnovo and Makovo, the Entente Allies, according to Berlin have met with a severe de feat through the failure of an at tack launched against the lines of the Central Powers. Aside from reprts of the repulse of the Bulgarians by the Serbians and contintxd progress for the kali an Austrian are vigorously shilling the Italians. -. Comparative calm still prevals all along the front in France, so far as infantry . engagemen ; s are concerned. ABerlin semi-official dispatch says, there are indica ticns that the Entents Allies coo template fresh offensives proba bly near Armentieres and east of Arras, where heavy artillery bombardments are being carried out and also on the St. Lichel Salient, southeast of Vtndun. Another semi-official dispatch from Berlin quotes Constantino ple advices to the effect that Arabs on the Tripoli-Tunis Iron tier in North Africa have defeat ed the Italians and carritd the fierht across the border int : Tun is against the French. Tb loss es of the Italian are estimiued at 20,000 men not including prison ers taken into the interior by the Arabs. Great Britain has definitely de--clined to grant a safe conduct to the United States of the -iewly-appointed Austro-Hunarian Ambassador. 1 Clogged System Mast Be Cleared.

Watson at the opening of bis trial in Federal Court here today, on charges of having sent obscene matter through the mails, laid upon the Government the burden of proof that he was responsible for the mailing, and also stated that he was "merely president" of the corporation which published the magazines containing the articles cited. Selection of a jury was complet ed in one and a half hours and the trial started rapidly forward only to be delayed by a detained examination of witnesses by whom District Attorney Donald son sought to prove the defend ant wag responsible for the mail ing. .
