KiARw TIDE IS RUNNING HIGH
(By International News Service.)
BUCHAREST, Sept. 11.—The Rou
anian War Office today admitted
at Silistria, an important Danube
rtress, had been abandoned to the
ulgarians. The Roumanians retreat
in good order after the fort had
een destroyed by heavy guns.
I “Silistria,” says the official state
ent, “was attacked with 12-inch and
6 1-2-inch guns, which destroyed the
forts in a few hours. The Rouma
nians retired in good order,
“Russian troops are marching to
the southward of Dobric, in order to
surround the enemy advancing on the
Danube.”

Great Battle on ‘
Along Black Sea
By SYDNEY B. CAVE,
taff Correspondent of International
News Service.
LONDON, Sept. 11.— Zurich dis
atches today confirmed earlier re
orts that a tremendous battle is de
eloping In that section of Roumania
'ing along the Black Sea. It is ap
arent from this news that the Rus
lan and Roumanian commanders had
arefully selected the field on which
hey wished to meet the advancing |
ulgarian and Turkish forces. |
The same dispatches brought thei
Ignificant news that the Russians |
d resumed their offensive in Buko- |
ina and were attacking the Aus—‘
ians along their entire front. Thisi
Fas taken as indicative that the Rou
anian advance into Trnnsylvania}
ad been so successful at every point
at the Russian army was secure
om attack on its extreme left flank,
nd could proceed with vigor against
e forces defending the passes I»ad-i
& to the plains of Hungary. |
While interest in the spectacular
ntered upon the campaign in Rou- |
anla, the military experts today ex
ressed the opinion that success for
¢ Turco-Bulgarian forces in the
ack Sea region would gain them
t little benefit. Following the an
uncement of the capture of Turta
l, it is claimed that the Rouma
n fortress of Silistria, 60 miles
m Bucharest, has fallen to the
lgarians.
These enemy successes, the experts
int out, are immaterial, in view ot
e fact that at no point have the
Igarians succeeded in passing the
nuhe River, which serves as a nat
al defensc for the heart of Rouma
a. |

Advertising in its broadest sense is a power that makes the

Proof of this is found In the classified pages of The Geor
glan-American, which teem with human interest—the inter
est that arises from the buying and selling and renting and
letting of homes, pleading personals urging an absent father
to come home, searches for lost heirs—these and scores of
ofher lively transactions appear only among the Want Ads,
Read them even more carefully in the future than you have

Meeting at Lyric Tonight Closes Racé
President of Tech to Introduce
Candidate—Oold Soldiers to
Occupy Stage.
The Harris meeting at the Lyrie
Theater tonight promises to draw an
audience which will overtax the ca-i
pacity of the house, but the friends of |
Governor Harris were unable to se-!
cure the Auditorium, and the Grand |
!wa.s to be occupled by a theatricall
| attraction. It will be a case of flrsti
come, first seated. |
Governor Harris will make his first |
Atlanta campaign address, and it is!
expected to be the most vlgorous‘l
speech delivered during the campaign.
The Governor said he had refrained
from attacking his opponents, and |
until recently, when they realized howg
torm}dable an adversary he had be-|
come, they had dealt very kindly with
him. But, he said, he expected to take |
up thie attacks in his Atlanta ad- |
dress * handle them with gloves ofl'.‘
He is an eloguent and forceful speak
er, as 50 Georgia counties can testl-'
fy, and the people of Fulton County
’ma.y confidently expect an address
‘well worth hearing.
| Tech Men for Him.
. Governor Harris will be introduced!
;by Dr. K. G. Matheson, president ofg
'Georgia Tech, the institution foundedl
vears ago by Nat E. Harris, when he;
was a member of the ILegislature,|
Governor Harris has been head of the|
Tech's trustees since the beginning.i
and is considered the “father” of that|
institution. Graduates and students|
of Tech are practically unanimous in!
his support, the only exceptions being
those who through ties of kinship or.
close personal relations feel their in-!
fluence is due another candidate, !
Women are given a special invita- |
tion to attend the meeting at the!
Lyric. The doors will be opened at
7:30 o'clock, and a band concert will
precede the address. They may be!
confident there will be none of the!
disorder which has characterized paat'
political meetings, unless this is fnr-'
nished by a delegation from an op-!
ponent’s camp, and it is assured that |
this will not be permitted to lmerrum;
the address by Governor Harris. ]
Vets To Be on Stage. !
Veterans from the Confederate Sol- |
diers’ Home will honor their old com- |
rade by going to the Lyric in a body!
and occupying seats upon the stage.!
They asked this privilege that they!
might in this way refute the allega-|
tion of Mr. Dordey that the veterans|
were against the Governor. Fifty or
more of the most prominent men in!
Atlanta, representing many different !
views on past political divisions, also |
will be on the stage in indorsement of |
Governor Harris, |

BAIDGE FALL: MANY DEAD
(By International News Service.)
QUEBEC, Sept. 11.—More than a
score of workmen-—possibly 30-—were
crushed to death or drowned today
when the central span of the new $17,-
000,000 bridge being constructed
across the St. Lawrence River col
lapsed today. i
The collapse occurred without
warning, and the men on the mt!
span were unable to make any ef
fort to save their lives. The vietims
were crushed to death by the mtnl‘
that fell on them, or were carried with
the span Into the deep waters of the

could reach them. |
The span collapsed three hours
after the scows supporting It had
been removed.
Construction of the bridge, which
was to have been the largest canti
lever structure in the world, prob
ably will be long delayed. The span
which fell was about one-eighth of a
mile long. and weighed more than
5,000 tons.
All river traffic in the vicinity had
been suspended while the glant span

The eyes of all were fixed on the

With the opening of the polls less
than 24 hours away, the management
of the four candidates for Governor
were busy Monday making the last
check of the news from the counties,
revising their estimates of counties
won and lost, and completing ar
rangements for workers at a thou
sand or two polling places. The halls
of the histeric Kimball House,
brooder and incubator of many a po=
litical chicken which never got home
to roost, were never quite so filled
with workers who looked busy and
idlers who looked important.
At the Harris headquarters the
friends in charge of the Governor's
campaign sald they desired to revise
their Saturday forecast only by add
ing a few counties to the Governor's
claim. These had been in the doubt=
ful list until Monday, when telegrams
announced they appeared safe for
Governor Harris.
Conslderable discussion was caused
on the streets Sunday and Monday
by one of the last remarks made by
Mr. Dorsey in his speech at the Grand
Saturday night, a remark carefully
elimindted from the account of the
'speech published Sunday in The Con
stitution. In rebuking Governor Har
ris for showing clemency toward un
fortunate State prisoners Mr. Dorsey
remarked:
Dorsey in New Role.
“Governor Harris, in his speeches,
Indulges in a lot of sentimental drivel
about the sanctity of the home and
the virtue of wife and sister, and says
he will set free the man convicted of
slaying the Invader of his home.,” -
Among the letters and telegrams re
ceived at the Harris headquarters
Monday were several tommenting on
this and expressing the opinion that a
man who considers this idea of the
protection of the home “sentimental
drivel” will hardly find his expected
support among Southern voters.
It was worthy of notice Monday
that at the Harris headquarters the
telegraph messengers were bring tel
egrams in, while over In the Dorsey
offices the telegrams were all going
out—hundreds of them, to Judge from
the string of boys hurrying in and
out. It was a natural inference that
the Dorsey management was making
one last attempt to rally its forces
around the Watson banner,
The torning paper, which has for
many wecks done everything possible
to further the Dorsey campalgn, even
by omitting to handicap him by its
editorial indorsement, was brimming
over Monday with last-minute de
fense, denlals and repudiations. It
featured on its front page, where none
but Dorsey might Intrude until now,
& lengthy appeal from Dr. Hardman
to his former supporters not to de
