LONDON. Nov. 25.-The German
drive on Bucharest has apparently
started.
The Rumantsn Official statement,
detailing an attempt" to cross the
Danube at Simnitza and the Berlin
report that Fled Marshal Won Mack,
ensen has actually crossed that
stream, together with knowledge that
the Rumanian line is reformed along
the Alt valley, all limited to military
experts here today that forces were
being drawn for one of the great
military struggles OF the Balkan cam
paign
The fact that none Of the Berlin
official statements have made any
claims of large capture Of men, but
Eesses the greatest hope mere that
Rumanians In Little Walachia-where
Berlin reports capture of Orsova and
Turnu-Severin-have escaped General
Falkenhayn's encircling movement.
1t is believed what force Is left with
In the German wise must be q very
smalI one.
The major portion OF this Rumanian
army, threatened by Won Faiken-
lieved here, retired aud joined forces
along Alt river. Such a line would
have advantage of natural defensive
positions along the river. The line
would run nearly due north and
south and interpose strong barrier
to any further encroachments of the
German forces from the west toward
Bucharest. That this line has been
formed and its strength recognized
BY the Teutons, is indicated, it is
believed here, in the Bulgarian at
tempt at a thanking movement at
Simnitza.
In the meantime Field Marshal Won
Mackensen, to whom military critics
assign the next step in the Teutonic
move at Bucharest, is expected to
start an offensive movement in Dob
rud1a. Realization of this plan, it is
said, resulted in the sudden assump-
ton of a strong offensive movement
by the Russians and Rumanians, re-
ported yesterday. They have appar-
emily made good start. London ex-
