III One Of the Most Violent oifen-
sives of the Present War the
Germans Have Captured Six
Miles oil Trenches.

LONDON. FEB. 2S.-The Grown
Princes army is delivering the great
est smashes against the allies on the
western front since the English line
was broken ct Ypres last May
In a mighty offensive against the
Trenches outer defenses at Verdun
the Germans have captured six and
a half miles of French trenches, ae-
cording to an official statement from
The Paris war office. The German
war Office also reports the capture OF
1000 French prisoners and large
quantities of supplies.
The French war Office admits that
a violent offensive has been launch
ed against the French on 15-mile
front north Of Verdun. No similar
attack has been made by either side
on the western front since the
French offensive IN the Champagne
region last September.
Berlin reported that the Germans
hurled the French back on a wide
front between Consenyoye and the
Meuse and the village Of Azannes
eight miles east OF The river.
Paris reported heavy fighting in
the woods south OF Consenyoye and
Azannes and the Crown Prince was
attempting TO blast his way through
the French lines TO the outer de-
lenses of the city OF Verdun. The
Germans suffered enormous losses,
The German iu-an-ry has been re-
inforced by 42-centimeter guns
which will be used to wreck the
French defenses at Verdun. The
Grown Prince is smashing south
ward, evidently hoping to bring his
big guns into play on Verdun to
level the outer forts of the city.

TODAY'S WAR SUMMARY

The brief dispatches in which the fall
OF Bucharest was announced left in doubt
today the fate of the armies which were
resisting the advance of the Teutonic in
vaders. 1t is assumed in most entente
circles, however, that there was no last
stand by the Rumanans before their
capital. The capture OF Ploechti, how
ever, may have brought the retreat Of Il
part OF the Rumanian forces. This city,
moreover, is in the center of the great
Prahova valley oil district. The total cap
turc of Rumanians by the forces of the
Central powers since the beginning Of the
war are reported to have been 100000 men.
With Bucharest lost to them the Ru-
manians are retiring all along the line
in the province of Wallachia, fighting
rear guard action as they retreat The
of this campaign is the fate of the Ru-
manian armies and apparently there
have been no wholesale capture of pris-
oners as yet, at least by Field Marshal
Won Mackensen S troops, although Bcr-
lin records the capture of more than
5000 men yesterday.
Pctrograd statements announcing the
evacuation of Bucharest and the rem
nant of the Rumanians who were hold
ing off the Danube army to the south of
the capital probably indicates that an

100000 RUMANIANS
ARE IN PRISON CAMPS
Germans Believe Rumanians viii With
draw to Moldavia, Abandoning
Wallachia.

LONDON, Dee. Since the hostili-
ties against the Rumanians began l0O,-
coo Rumanians have been brought to
German prison camps, according to a
Copenhagen despatch to the Exchange
Telegraph company, quoting the Berlin
Lokal Anzeiger. The paper attributes
to German military authorities the be-
lief that the Rumanians intend to with
draw to Moldavia, abandoning the
whole Of Wallaehia. BY this step they
would have only 100 mile front to de-
tend. The Lokal Anzeiger reports that
prior to its capture Bucharest was near
ly deserted and the city was not
damaged
