BRITISH GAIN AT GINCHY
PARIS, Sept. Il


French artillery has drawn a ring of fire
three-quarters of the way around Peronne,
which is almost entirely cut off from COM
munication with the rest of the German
front.
Dispatches from the Sonlme battlefield

has placed all roads from Peronne within
range of French guns. On three sides the
French have surrounded the city with in
cessant streams of shellfre. Supplies can
be brought into the city only under cover
OF night along the roads entering from the

GERMANS JOIN AUSTRIANs
IN TRANSYLYANIA FIGHTING;
RUMANIANS PUSH AHEAD

BERLIN, Sept IA. In Transylvania
German troops have been brought up to
fight the Rumanans. German army head

OF Hermannstadt and southeast OF Hoetz-

stadt and Orsova.
In the Dobrudja section Of eastern
Rumania. according 70 the German official
statement. the operations OF the Teutonic
allies "are proceeding methodcaly." An
offlcial statement from Sofia says that the
Bulgarian troops IN the Dobrudja are ad-
vancing but that calm prevails on the bank
OF the Danube.
According to reports from Sofia, says an

LONDON. Sept. 14.-The Bulgarian troops
which took the Danube fortress OF Silistria
in Rumania, capture OF which was an
.
apparently did not take prisoner any con-
siderable number of Rumanians. The off,
clal Bulgarian statement of September H..
received here, says the Rumanians retired

our cavalry"
Although this statement, II taken liter
ally indicates that the Bulgarians have
forced n passage of the Danube. Il is be-
lieved improbable here that the Bulgarian
War Office meant 10 convey that meaning,
as the Bulgarian report OF the following
day makes no mention of such an operation.
The statement adds that the Bulgarian
trcolor now floats over Fort Arabtabla"
(probably Fort Arabadzilar. near the Dam
ube. half way between Silistria and Tur-
tuka).
A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph from
Milan says that Field Marshal Won Mack
ensen Is far from leading an army of 400,-
900 men against the Rumanians and Rus
slams in the Dobrudja, as stated two weeks
ago by the German military expert Count
Won Reventlow. The dispatch adds how
ever. that Won Mackensen has weakened
the Macedonian front to strengthen the
northern one and that the so-called re-
cent Bulgarian offensive in Greece was un.
dertaken only TO cover the withdrawal OF
15O, 900 troops to the Rumanian line.
After this withdrawal the Macedonian
force of the Bulgarians is estimated TO
have been 100000. Since then a division,
It is reported. has been sent along with
Turkish troops to the Rumanan line near
orsova.
