MACKEXSEX RETIRES. German Commanded Evacuate? Forts in Face of Rumanians. London, Oct. 5. Silisria and Pur pukai, Rumanian strongholds which fell to the Teutons after the entrance of Rumania into the war, have been ordered evacuated by Marshal von Maekensen, according to official re ports from Paris. The order is in terpreted here as recognition of the menace to the Bulgar-Teuton line in Lobrudja offered by the passage of the Danube yesterday by Rumanian ti oops. The Bulgarian war office reports that river monitors destroyed the pontoon bridges on which the invad ers crossed. The same statement estimates the invading force at sev eral battalions. It is assumed here to be such a force as it is separated by the Danube from hope of retreat. The battle of Dobrudja is meanwhile proceeding with great violence along the whole front from the sea to the Danube. Bucharest reports that the Ru manians are attacking in force and meeting stubborn resistance. Every indication points to the intention of the Rumanians fighting for a posi tion on the Dobrudja plains. Strong Russian reinforcements have been hastened to their aid. North of Sederas, in Transylvania, the Rumanians have won a victory which is admitted today by the Ger man wTar office. COST1GAN, PROGRESSIVE, FOR WILSON. Denver, Colo., Oct. 5. Edward P.
