DECISION IN WAR
TO BE OBTAINED
IN BALKAN AREA?
German Military Authorities
Think Final Verdict VIII Be
Rendered in Southwest
Pennsylvania and Rumania
CBy Associated Press.1

BERLIN, Friday. November 17.-(Vta
London. The war theater in south
west Transylvanla and Rumania is TO
be the scene OF the decision in this war;
not the Russian front, nor Verdun, nor
even the Somme. according to belief
expressed by we'll informed military au-
thOrities here. They note that progress
is being made steadily In that fighting
area, although slowly because of the
difficulties Of the mountain warfare and
abe conquest Of the numerous passes
leading TO the Rumanian plain. where
ever q vastly sperior force has trouble
in swiftly following up each advantage
gained.
The supreme Importance of this rela-
lively little known war theater was
emphasized to the Associated Press cor
respondent by one of these military au-
thorities in conjunction with his ex-
pIana ton of what was characterized as
the utterly local Importance of the re-
ceu- allied gains in the Ancre sector
OF the Somme front by which the Ger
mans lost Beaumont-Hamel st. Pier
re. Division and Beaucourt. These three
villages lie at the extreme westerly tip
Of the former tongue-like advanced posi-
ton held by the Germans. which adj
m ttedIy was the weakest in the entire
line and which was exposed TO a con-
centricN fire in the rear whRch cut off
retreat and forced the Germans TO de-
fend the post to the last man.
Though the loss OF this advanced po-
sition was costly in that IL involved the
loss of men. II was taken by the Brit
ssh. il is claimed. only at a far greater
cost. Its loss also. il is declared, gave
the Germans vastly strengthened lines,
just as did the retirement from Fort
Vaux and Fort Douaument because of
the shortened line of defense, and placed
the Germans in positions to the rear
which were much more easy to defend.
Though the Rumanian front, accord
iug to the Germans assertion, is to be
the decisive point of the war. they alb
stain entirely from even the vaguest
prophecy regarding the time when the
plains will be reached and a decision
can be forced. Even the operations CT
