Rumanians Retake Offensive.


Thus, at the moment when the King
of Rumania astounded the world by an
appeal to his allies to save Rumania
from the fate of Serbia and Belgium,
the Rumanian counter offensives in the
Vulcan and Red Tower passes gained
ground. while the German thrust
through Tomos and Predeal passes was
slowed down. without actually being
halted. On the other hand. there was
noted a serious effort through Gymes
and through Bekas passes. the latter
farther to the narth and near the Buko-'
VIVA line. to thrust wedge between
TIE Russian troops in Bukovina and the
Rumanian troops in northern Moldavia,
which stir continues. -,...
Meantime Mackensen had been quiet
for some time and there was general
belief that the familiar trench deadlock
had come south of the Constanza-Bu
Arrest railroad. But as the third week in
October opened Mackensen's army began
new attacks. and last Monday these at
tacks eliminated in the capture OF the
city Of Constanza, with most Of the rail-
road line and very complete victory.
which at the time I write has not yet
been completely measured. Certainly
Rumanian communication with the Black
sea. save by the Danube is now broken.
possibly the Cernavoda bridge has fallen
into German hands. although the prob
ability is that 1t has been destroyed.
Such destruction as was possible how
ever, would hardly be more complete
than that of the Belgrade bridge by the
Serbs a year ago. and on the old abut-
ments the Austrian and German engi-
neers erected a new structure within six
weeks. Henceforth. therefore. we must
reckon with the possibility Of a new at
tempt by Mackensen. this time to pass
the Danube and reach the Rumantan
capital.

German Leaders 60
Into Conference.

AAIo conference. council boar d
were Chancellor Won Bethmann-Holl-
veg. Gen. Won Falkenhayn. the Crown
Prince, in command of the major por-
ton of the armies operating on the
southern section of the western battle
line. There was Won Hindenburg. the
wise leader of the east, whose victories
over the Russians the year previous
had startled the whole world and
brought rejoicing to the hearts OF all
Teutonic peoples There were others,
of course, but that these were there
is sufficient. Here the problems of the
year from a military standpoint were
threshed out.
Shall we strike again in the east and
so badly cripple the Russians that they
forever will be negligible factor in
the struggle and possibly force from
them terms of separate peace?
from the French the great citadel at
Verdun, then seize the communication
lines to Paris and over this route ad-
vance on the famous French capital?
r Shall we strike at the British holding
down the northern section of the west
ern front?
Shall our offensive operations be di-
rected further in the Balkane?
These with many other questions
and military problems arising from
possible allied moves were discussed.
Rugged Won Hindenburg. who since
has been made chief Of the German
general staff. counseled in favor OF q
blow against the Russians.
The crown prince is said to have be-
sought his distinguished father. the
emperor. to direct the blow against
Verdun. where he had every hope of
succeeding in view Of the generally
purported weakened condition of the
French army. Would not victory here
do more than any other thing to
weaken French morale and disorganize
possible allied plans In the west?
Would not success here bolster up the
German morale in field and at home ?
Would not such victory SO discourage
the allies that they would be willing to
admit their inferiority and lay down
their arms for a peace dictated by the
German government? These undoubted-
ly were, in effect. the questions brought
forward by the followers of the crown
prince. in view of the fact that Berlin
repeatedly during this period of the
war voiced the belief that victorious
decision was sure to be reached during
the year.

points. Several enemy trenches were

French, who previously had prepared for

Germans moved forward again. More
