THINK ROUMAN|A
may YET Be SAVED

London. Nov. News from Ger
man sources caused renewal OF hone
here today that Roumania. after all,
may extricate herself from the pre.
carious position In which her Walla-
chian forces have been placed by
General Won Falkenhayn's concededly
brilliant strategic compalgD.
or prime basis for this hope was
the utter lack In all tho German on
cial reports Of any claims OF large
captures OF prisoners or war NUM-
tIons. II the Roumanian army actu-
ally had been trapped by the en-
circling movement around orsova and
Turna-severin, reaching over to Grail
ova. 1t was regarded as certain the
Berlin ofiiclal reports would have
chronicled big captures OF men and
supplies.
one other source OF hope was the
report from German correspondents
nj Won Falkenhayn's headquarters
that further progress beyond the AIT
was delayed because OF the conditions
OF the roads. Both OF these bits OF
news led military experts here to re-
construct story OF an orderly re-
treat of the Roumanian forces from
the angle on which two arms OF the
Teutonic forces are now exerting
pressure.
There was no disposition. however,
to disguise the fact that Roumania
Is still perilously placed. II It were
summer weather. and II the terrain
were not rain-soaked or muddy from
half frozen slush, the crossing OF the
Danube by the Teutonic forces, In an
effort to turn the flank OF the Rou-
manians, might prove successful. As
II Is their presence on Roumanlan
soil constitutes an ever-present
menace.
Reports here say that a number OF
allied aviat0rs have reached Buchar-
est. II Ia believed also that Russia
has by this time poured heavy rein
forcements into Roumania. probably
including q large number OF cannon,
The greatest handicap which the
Roumanians have had was their lack
OF aerial scouts to seek out and re-
port the sort OF encircllng movements
which have formed the basis for Won

City Of Northern Mezics
Vas in Progress Tslay

El Pxso. Nov. 27.-That the at
tempted storming of Chihuahua City
by an army Of 1000 villistas under
personal command OF villa was still
in progress early today. was the do
claration Of United States department
agents here. They based their state
ments upon the action of the Mexi-
can de facto government authorities
in sending every Carranzista soldier
available in northern Mexico to the
relief of the beleaguered city. This
is the fifth day Of the battle for pos
session Of Chihuahua City, the key to
northern Mexico. In spite OF every
effort by de facto ofIicials. NO word IL
the fate OF General Trevino and his
garrison has leaked out since noon
Saturday. That villa with his forces
is still encircling the city is certain.
Losses in the first four days cf the
fighting have been reported heavy.
The streets Of the city are said to be
filled with dead: It is impossible to
pick up the wounded because Of Ia
cessant firing. Many buildings
throughout the city have been dam
aged by shell fre. ,
With cavalry detachments on each
side OF the railroad track guarding
troop trains and artillery. General
Murgia is hurrying north to save
Chihuahua City from capture by WI
listas, Mexican Consul General Garcia
announced early this forenoon at the
consulate here. Murgia's relief col
umn is expected to strike Villa some
time today, IL 1t has not already
clashed with the bandits, according
to Garcia. The number Of men in the
column Is uncertain. but has been set
at various times at from six to six
teen thousand.
Reports were in circulation in
Juarez today that General Treyino
had withdrawn his forces to the north
OF Chihuahua City. hoping to draw
Villa into the city while General
Murgia approached from the south.
thus entrapping the bandit forces.
Every Mexican de facto official in the
border town issued denials OF these
reports. Consul Soriano Bravo stating
there was mo truth in the rumors,"
and declared he had a message via
Ojinaga from Chihuahua City saying
that lighting was still in progress
there and that Murgia's forces were
nearing the city.
Max Weber. German consul at
Juarez. admitted today he intended
to move to the American side OF the
Rio Grande, but explained that he
intended taking this action not be-
cause he fears a bandit attack upon
Juarez, but In order that his daugh-
ter might attend school In FL Paso.
United States government agents
working here have learned that the
ammunition being used by villa was
made in the United States, ostensibly
for Europe. II was shipped by boat
from New England to the Gulf Of
Mexico and smugsled across the Rio
Grande for the use Of Mexican dc
facto troops. Through plot Of dis
loyal Carranzista officials, villa cap
