LONDON. Nov. 13.-Russians, RI
manians and Franco-Serbians are con
tinuing their hammering against the
lines of the central powers on every
eastern and southeastern front today.
At some points Germans and Austrl.
ans are attacking fiercely, but accord
ing to advices at all the capitals, the
larger successes are being won by
the arms Of the entente allies.
French troops are today co-o-dinat-
ing the trenches and positions they
wrested from the Germans yesterday
at Sailly-Safllisel on the west front, at
which point sporadic German attempts
to re-capture the positions are going
on with increased intensity. COM

tfons OF the western front.
The fighting about Cernavodo for
possession Of the great Danube span
that forms the longest bridge in
Europe and where for days the Rus

turning Mackensens left flank, ap-
parently has reached its most critical
stage.

Cernavoda in flames and Of Constan-

an extreme right has had its base on
the Black sea, fred, only meagre de-

Military experts believe the result
at Vernavoda will depend partly ON

Rumanians against General Falken-
