Bucharest's fate is a matter of only a
few days. Desperate resistance by the
Rumanians can only delay occupation
OF the capital.
To an observer Of this great German
achievement in Rumania, the goal OF
offensive in the movement now ap-
preaching its climax, is not Bucharest
alone. Germany's object Is first to
destroy the Rumanian army, prepara-
tory to a march toward Russia with
perhaps Odessa as the final goal.
All officers here believe that the
present operations in Rumania are
only the beginning OF gigantic op-

bring the decision in the war to this
field
The desperate efforts which Ruman-
ia is making to crush the German
steam roller offensive by striking to-
wards the Danube can only delay Bu-
charest occupation by the Teutons and
manian forces, officers declare.
The great part of the Rumanian
army is wholly demorafized. Swift ad-
vances by Field Marshal Won Mecken-
sen and General Won Falkenhayn cut
Rumania into three parts.
Today's operations are expected to
sew up three holes, forcing the Ru
manians either to defend Bucharest
from the north,-or evacuate their
capital.
To one who. for the past ten days
has followed the advancing German
troops by automobile over 1,200 miles
through Craiova, Alexandria, Slatina
and Pitesci, Bucharest Is not the sole
object of the German offensive. To
such an observer, Germany's object is
destruction of as much of the Ruman-
ian army as possible, preparatory to
a march toward Russia-perhaps with
Odessa as the final goal.
The German operations are moving
forward here on a gigantic scale. For
miles over Rumanian's roads. thous-
ands Of columns pass in q ceaseless
moving picture. Beside these advanc-
ing columns are wagon trains of des-

Facing the man who is believed to
have been the cause Of a breach OF

James W. Osbornes wife also was

the meeting took place. She shook
hands with Wax, saying she was glad
to see him back.
Wax readily identified Osborne,
telling questioners that the last time
he saw the former district attorney
was when he went to Osborpe's room
and told him that he really was the
man sought by Rae Tanzer.
There was a marked difference In
the appearance of the two men. Wax
is much younger, his face is fuller
and he exhibits only slight bald
spot, compared to generous bare

eyes are blue, while those Of Jas. w.
