London, Oct. 31-Teutonic forces
on the Pennsylvania frontier are
meeting with stubborn opposition. Ru-
manian troops have repulsed the In
vaders and have taken more than
1900 prisoners, Bucharest announces.
The Rumanians recaptured Piscul
and at Tulghes and Bicaz and in the
Uzul valley took LOO men. The at
tack in the Uzul valley also resulted
in the repulse of Gen. Won Falken-
hayn's men.
North of Campulung, Bucharest
says, a counter attack in the region
of Dragoslavle netted 300 prisoners.
Farther west in Wallachia, in the
jul valley, the Rumanian offensive
continues successfully, with the cap
ture of 450 prisoners. Berlin an
nounces the taking of a height south
of Kronstadt and declares that other
wise the situation is not essentially
changed"
The retreat of the Russo-Rumanian
forces in Dobrudja continues and Ber-
lin records that Field Marshal Won
Mackensen is meeting with little op-
position. Five hundred more prison
ers have been taken by the Teutons.
In the region of Dorna Watra sew
eral heights have been occupied by
Austrian troops.
Petrograd says the Russo -Rumanian
troops were forced to fall back in that
region, abandoning two heights.
French troops have captured quarry
northwest of Fort Douaumont. The
repulse of French attacks there as
well as Franco-British efforts on the
Somme front Is announced by Berlin,
but London reports gains by allies.
In Volhynia the Austro-Germans re-
pulsed a Russian attack. Otherwise
there has been little activity on the
Russian front. Except for few small
Italian advances there has been no
change on the Austro-Italian front.
London, Oct. 2S.-Rumania is strug-
Cling desperately to ward off the in
cessant attacks of Field Marshal Won
Mackensen and Gen. Won 'Falkenhayn.
Advancing northward in Dobrudja,
Won Mackensen's troops have reached
a line running from Hirsova, on the
Danube, to Casapkeui, on the Black
sea coast, from forty to sixty miles
from where they crossed the Con-
za-Tchernavoda railway line. The
capture of Hirsova would give the
Teutonic allies the advantage of hav-
ing little marshy ground to traverse
should they attempt to make a cross
ing of the river here into old Ru-
mania, as the low-lying ground vir-
tually disappears for some distance
around Hirsova.
Gen. Won Falkenhayn continues to
make progress in the direction of
Camhulung, south of Predeal, on the
Transylvanian front, and Bucharest
admits a retirement of the Rumanian
forces in the jul valley, which is sit
uated in the Vulcan pass region. The
Russo o-Rumanian forces, to the north,
have repulsed Austro-German attacks.
while in the Uzul valley the Ruma-
mans continue to advance and in the
region of Okna have occupied
height and village.
