driven back southwark about two

q the west of Hordny has been cap
tured. Fierce artillery fighting is
still in progress on the sectors of the

Halt TO Give Battle.
To stem the tide of advance of the
army of the central powers in the
pobrudja region of Rumania, the
Rumanians and Russians have ceased
their retreat and definitely drawn
their battle line, along the front of
Raghova Txopadin Tuzla, running
from the Black sea to the Danube,
just south of the ancient double ram
part known as the Trajan wall,
which begins at Constanza and runs
westward to the river. Both Sofia
and Berlin report fresh advances in
this region, while in Pennsylvania the
Rumanians are reported to be con-
tinuing their progress against the
Teutonic allies. .lil4N!n1
