them the head Of the line running
northward to Jassy, where the capital
Of Roumania is now situated. No de-
tails have yet come through concern
ing the climax to the great drive OF
the armies Of General Won FAlkenhayn
and Field Marshal Won Mackensen, or
whether the Roumanians and Russians
succeeded entirely in making their g.
cape behind the Bucharest line.
Teutons Hold Four Capitals.
Previous to the announcement Of
the capture Of Bucharest and Of
Ploetchi, unofficial advices had indi'
Gated that four divisions of the de.
tenders were in a harmonious position
In the region due west of Bucharest
and in danger of being enveloped.
With the fall Of Bucharest the Cen
trail Powers are now in possession az
four capitals Of Allied states, the 9th
ers being Brussels, Belgrade, and Co..
tinje.
slavs Make Little Headway.
In the northwest, in the CarpathiaA
region, near the Bukowina frontier,
and along the Moldavia front, the Rus
sian offense, begun as diversion
against the Teutonic advance into
Roumania, apparently Is meeting with
little success. In the Carpathians
west of Jablonitza the Russians occu-
pied a height, but later were shelled
of the position by the Germans. To
the south they succeeded in penetrat-
Ing to the second line Of the German
defenses in the Trotus valley, but here
were held by the defenders from fur
Their advance. North Of the Oituz pass
and southeast of Kedzi Varsahely the
Austro- Germans took positions from
the Russians.
The capture Of Bucharest marks tho
elimination of an operation accounted
by military commentators one Of the
most soundly conceived and brilliantly
executed strategical feats of the war.
Teuton Pressure 10 Relentless.
From the hour when Field Mar1ha1
Won Mackensen forced a crossing Of
the Danube and on November "a set
foot on Roumanian soil effecting .
junction shortly afterward with Gen
eral Won FalkenhayHs armies, driv-
Ing through Wallachia from the west
there seemed little doubt Of the ulti.
mate fate Of the Roumanian capital.
The relentless pressure Of the Teuton-
lc invading armies with their prepon.
derance of heavy artillery proved too
much for King Ferdinand's forces once
the Roumanian front was broken In
western Wallachia and the Danube
crossed behind the line Of tho north
ern Teutonic Eruption.
Continuously outflanked on the
south by Won Mackensen's advance
and on the north by further Austro.
German irruptions through the noun
tain passes the Roumanians had no
choice but to fall back upon the line
Of their capital and now have been
forced to yield even that.
