Attack Russo ROumanian
Lines In MOldavia.
SEVERAL HEIGHTS TAKEN
Effort to Drive Entente Forces Into
lnterior-Further Gains Made by
German, Turkish and Bulgarian
Forces on the Matchn BrIdgehead.

Forces on the Matchin BrIdgehead.
London. Dec. 30-The opening OF
what may prove to be an important
offensive by the Teutonic forces
along the Moldavian western frontier
is revealed in the current Berlin
statement
Apparently IL is the Austro- German
purpose TO break through the noun
tain region here and force the Russo
ROumanian lines back along the Low
er Carpathian barrier into interior
Moldayia
Several heights we're captured In
the effort, which evidently is made in
conjunction with the northward thrust
of the Teutonic armies from Walla-
CHA, to the east of this line, the
southern flank OF which is thus threat
ened
From Wailachia northward Field
Marshal Won Mackensen's advance
has been pressed on the west nearly
fifteen miles north of Rimnik Sarat
and new progress alos has been made
near the Danube, where Braila. a
grain and oil center, is the next i'm
portant point in the line of the Teu-
tonic progress.
The Petrograd statement reveals
that Roumanian troops are again in
the field in Northwestern Wallachia
and the indications are that resist
ance of a most stubborn sort is being
offered TO Won Mackensen's thrust to-
ward the Sereth line, which runs
northwest through Central Moldavia
from point on the Danube just
north Of Braila
Many Prisoners Taken.
The Germans. however, have taken
1,40O more prisoners from the Rus
slams, together with three cannon.
In Dobrudja, opposite BraiIa and
Galatz, the Bulgarian, Turkish and
German forces have closed in further
on the Matchin bridgehead, taking the
town of Ratchelu, on the Danube, ten
miles across the northwestern neck
of Dobrudja. from Matchin and oppo-
site the Bessarabian shore.
Striking back at the French in the
Verdun region. on the bank of the
Meuse, opposite the scene of the re
cent French successes, the Germans
made a strong effort to penetrate the
French lines between Hill 304 and
Dead Man hill, the two dominating
eminences northwest of the fortress
According to Paris the attack was
broken up. the Germans succeeding
in gaining a footing In only one
trench, south of Dead Man hill.
The activities around Verdun vir.
tually have been the only breaks in
the monotony of winter trench war
fare along the Franco-Belgian front
The battle of the Somme admittedly
is in a state of suspense because OF
the bad state of the ground and un
favorable atmospheric conditions, &C
cording to British authority.
