Review of News From All Fronts in World War, Hlx American lives wore lost in the sinking of the British steamship Marl na. tho American consul at Queens town In informed, according to an tin ottteiwl dispatch. of tho fifty-one A morion us rojKiftod rescued, at least two woro injured. !t is rejHir&d that tho Marina was attacked by two submarines and that she sank within ten minutes. A heavy sea was running and tho number of liveliest is in doubt. 'Ashore has booh little concentrated Infantry fighting on tho European bat tlefields. Along tho border between Trunsyl* vaula and Hninanla. the opposlug armies continue tlio fray, hut with lit tle change. In the region north and east of Onmpulong, Rumania, the tight liiK Koch on and Bucharest claims the capture of Mount Rosea, at Bratocea, and the repulse of onoiuy attacks north of Gampulung, Buchurest also says the advance In the Jiul valley, in the re gion of Vulcan Pass, Is making prog ress. The Rumanians have gained a vic tory in tho region of Kzurduk Pass, on the Rumanian-Transylvania frontier, a wireless message from ltucharest re IKirts. The Rumanians drove the Aus tro-Germans hack from tho frontier, capturing prisoners and artillery. West of Lutsk, in Volhynla, the Rus sians have taken Austro-German trenches south of Svlniusky, anil re pulsed counter attacks. On tho S liar a river, Berlin records, Uusslau attacks were rejlulsed. In Galacla tho Austria Germans have checked attacks below Stanlslau and occupied Russian posi tions in the Narayuvka region, near Halle-/. On the Anglo-French front in France and Belgium there has been little ex cept artillery work. Tho Germans shelled the British front around Ypres, and south of the Ancre, tho |>osltlons at Stuff and Schwabon redoubts. Bad weather is hampering operations in Macedonia, but tho Serbians, Paris announces, have made progress in the Coma, bend 'and tho French have oc cupied a monastery west of Presba lake. Artillery combats have occupied tho soldiers on the Austro-Itallan front. The Gorman submarine U-58, which after paying a brief visit to Newport, R. I. sank live British and neutral ships off the coast, is officially an nounced to have reached a German port in safety. . Charlotte Man Aboard. The information that .1. (J. liaiitl. Ar.. ouly son of MaJ. and .Mrs. .1. (i. "Balrd of Charlotte. was listed among those aboard the Marina of the Don aldson line when sunk without warn inn b.v guntlre from a German sub lnarine off the coast of Ireland Mon day. occasioned much comment in this ^Pty' last night. Major Haird had no information last jiWht save that car ried in the Associated Press dis patches and although he had wired every suggested source of possiirie in forniation in Newport News, Washing ton and elsewhere, he had heard notli ing up to a late hour. He was much at loss about the matter by reason of the fact that his son had wired hiiu on September 22 last that he was sailing on the Kelvinbrae of the Donaldson line for Alexandria Egypt direct. He had left Charlotte several days previous with his chum. .Young Hurst of tbJy city, and they had arranged to sail on this boat for a passage that would consume approximately a month. Maj or Buird added that he had heard noth ing since and he had assunled all along that he was on the Kelvinbrae. Hence be could not understand the Associated Press dispatch, nor the absence of his churn among those reported aboard.. It Is regarded as probable that at the last moment young Balrd changed his plans and sailed aboard the Marl na for Glascow, which left on Sep tember 21 and that he was on the ro turn trip. i J>\ O.
