HOPEFUL REVIEW OF DOBRUDJA SITUATION.

v (Reuter Service.) (Received Oct. 25, 11.50 a.m.)

LONDON, Oct. 24. French experts compare the fall of Constanza to the capture of. Charl.eroi, -and Maubeuge at the beginning of the war as being annoying, but not irremediable. They point out tharb the port will not be of much use to the Germans, and the Russian fleet will make the stay of the invaders uncomfortable before" they have time to lay Klines or.establish, a submarine base. It w;ill be hazardous for General Mackjenseri to continue his advance as far as the loop of the Danube towards the Bessarabian frontier, and the Russian command is fully aware of the importance of checking the German invasion.
