VON FALKENHAYNE IS T (' . LONDON, Oct. 28. Today's dis patches received report a further ad vance by the Germanic allies in Do brudja, where the German line is now established from the Danube to the Black Sea. The District of Hirsoza on the Dan ube has been occupied. From unoffi cial sources the news comes from Pe trograd that General Falkenhayn, charging through the ; Carpathian passes, has reached Campolung, only eighty miles northwest of Bucharest. The official statement from Berlin today failed to bring confirmation of the capture of Campolung, but says that the situation on the Transylvan ian front is practically unchanged with the exception that the Teutonic troops have captured a height in the region south of Kronstadt. Bucharest reported that the Rou manians have taken the offensive at various points on the Transylvanian front and captured more than 1,800 officers and men. That part of the Russian and Roumanian army driven back by Mackensen's forces is making their encape across the Danube, were indicated in dispatches received from Dobrudja. Col. W. D. Pollock, Democratic nominee for the State Senate from this district, will address the citizens of Bridgeton Monday night at 7:30 o'clock, and at Dover Saturday after noon at four o'clock. Miss Elizabeth Battle will open an art school over Bradham's Broad Street Drug Store November the first. Miss Battle is an excellent instruc tor in art and all who are interested in the work are requested to commu nicate with her.

Ipock last night when he spied a suit case on the train from Norfolk all tied up with cord and weighing about a "ton." The officer was sure he had a large quantity of whiskey, and as no one established a claim to the suit case, he started off to the City Hall. Before leaving the depot he met up with Captain A. L. Bryan and other officers and after a consultation be tween the officers, Captain Bryan and policeman Ipock "lit 'er rag" for the City Hall. " .. , It was a long road to the hall, but inspired by the fact' that they, "had the goods" they made good time. Bry an would carry the suit case a while and then Ipock. Finally they arrived at the hall and each one eager to get a peep inside worked on the knots in the strings, and finally it was neces sary to get a knife. The strings cut and the suit case opened, they were greatly amazed to learn that they were the victims of a joke' and instead of finding whiskey, the suit case contained brick , bats, chunks of wood, bottled water, and an eel apiece. ' Well, the officers were certainly disappointed,' but they de clare that this will not stop them from confiscating suspicious looking suit cases.

It was stated that at the time the request was made, the prisoner's cell was not fitted up as comfortably as he desired and hence the request. However, the superintendent of the Beaufort county jail made it as com fortable for his charge as was pos sible for him to do and when the of ficer went for him to make the trans fer, Barr expressed a desire to re main in Beaufort.
