Berlin, September 30.--(via London. }
Troops under General Falkenhayne,
former chief of the German general
staff. have won battle at HERMANN
stadt. Ttransylvania, defeating strong
sections Of the first Rumanian army,
the war office announced today
The announcement follows:
''The Rumanian northern and second
armies began an attack on the Goer-
zeny mountains, starting from the
Parajd- Oderhellen line. from Ezekely
Tdvarhely and from Fogaras. The
enemy was repulsed on the Goerzeny
MOUNTAINS. Further south the defend
ing troops evaded an attack. German
troops attacked successfully beyond
Haar Brook, south of Henndorf- Hegin,
one of the Eumanian columns, driv-
ing 1t back and capturing IL officers,
591 men and three machine guns"
1.-THE encircling battle at Hermannstadt
which began September 26 has been won.
Under command of Gen. Won. F'alkenhayne
German and Austro- Hungarian troops de-
structively defeated strong sections of the
First Runanian army after stubborn
fighting. After having suffered heavy
losses. the remainder of the enemy troops
fled in disorder into the impossible noun
tain country on both sides of Rotnen-
thurm pass, which already had been oc-
cupied by us. in the rear of the enemy,
by bold mountain march on the morn
ing of September 26. The Rumanian were
received there with devastating fire
from Bavarian troops under Lieutenant
General Kraft Won Delmensingen. A
thrust made for their relief by the Second
Rumanian army came too late. Our
troops fought with the greatest bitter
ness. after it had become known to them
that the covetous Rumanians who are
fighting on the side of the entente for
dered defenseless wounded. The number
Of prisoners and the very considerable
amount OF booty. which is partly spread
over the mountainous forest country. has
not yet been established.
In the Hoetsing mountains and in the
Mehadia sector Rumanian attacks failed"

German counter attacks. A division of
the new British army was engaged.
The official account follows:
During the night the enemy shelled
heavily our battlefront south of the
Ancre. We consolidated the ground
won yesterday morning at Destremont
farm. northwest of LIE Sars and i'm
proved our position in the Thiepval
area.
Enemy counter attacks were beat
en- off in the neighborhood of Stuff re-
doubt and Hessian trench. The fighting
In this section yesterday was very
severe and our troops engaged-a di-
vision of the new army-showed great
endurance and resolution.

The defeat of the Rumantans was
brought about by strategic move
virtually impossible on the western bat
tie front. General Won Falkenhayne d.
vided his force of Germans and Austro-
Hungarians. While one body engaged
the invaders arcUnd Hermannstadt, the
other encircled the Rumanians and
seized Rothenthurm pass, in the noun
tains Is miles southeast of Hermann
stsdt, and one OF the first points gained
by the Rumanlans in their advance.
Both forces then pressed in upon the
Rumanians, composed of sections of the
first Rumanian army. Bavarian troops
holding Rothenthurm checked an adj
vance by the second Rumanian army,
which attempted to come to the aid of
its surrounded compatriots. Berlin re-
ports that a large amount of booty was
taken, as well as prisoners.
In eastern Pennsylvania the Ruman-
ians also suffered a repulse. Their at
tack in the region of Szekely Uvoar-
hely was checked and a German attack
in the same section resulted in the cap
ture of 500 prisoners.
FIGHTING ON SoMMia,
Fighting continued on the Somme
front, but with little change in the
positions of the combatants. The Ger
mans continue their counter attacks
around Thiepval. Further south the
French have made an advance north of
Rancourt, driving their wedge in the
German lines there. Berlin reports the
repulse of British attacks on this
front.
During September the British in their
advance on the Somme front lost almost
10000 officers and men. This Is at the
rate of $500 day. but falls below the
daily human cost for August. Since the
offensive began, figures published in
London show that the British have lost
approximately 100000 men in their eff
forts to break the German defenses.
NO CHANGE IN OTHER FRONTS
No important changes in Macedonia,
in Dobrudja. on the Austro-Italian
front or on the eastern front are an

points on all these fronts, except in
Dobrudja, where Field Marshal Won

forces apparently are awaiting devel-
opments in other quarters.
