London, Aug. 21.-The Russians ap-
parently are centering their efforts
on their new drive toward Kovel. Ber-
lin admits that General Brussiloff's
troops have crossed the Stowhod at
one point and Petrograd says that
the Russians have pushed on beyond
the river and captured series of
heights on the road to Kovel.
Fierce fighting continues on the
crest of the Carpathians, where the
Russians are battling within sight of
the Hungarian plains. No Indication
has been given, however, of the
strength of the forces engaged in this
region, and it is uncertain as yet
whether General Brussilofr is max
ing serious effort to invade Hun
gary.
The offensive on the Saloniki front
is slowly developing and the fight is
growing in intensity on the 150-mile
battle line from Lake Presba to Lake
Dorian. Both sides claim minor sue
cesses, but apparently no action of
first Importance has occurred.
On the western front the French
continue to press forward in the
neighborhood' of Guiilemont and Paris

titled wood between that town and
Maurepas. In the Verdun sector the
Germans are fiercely counter attack
ing in an effort to regain Fleury. The
British report the repulse of Ger
man counter attacks and the capture
of portion of trenches north of
Bazentin-le-Petit.

Rumania sways to Entente.
The Rumanian situation is again
taking leading place in the war
news. Dispatches from Berlin and
Bucharest, via Berlin, describe the
relations between Rumania and the
Germanic allies as extremely serious.
Wolff bureau dispatches hint that an
Austro-G German ultimatum is in prep
aration. The Kreuse Zeitung de-
clares negotiations that took place at
Bucharest at the weekend between
the Russian military attache and the
Rumanian secretary of war must be
considered as proof that Rumania has
mined the entente
The entry of Rumania into the war
on the side of the entente would
mean the forging of another link. in
the chain of foes surrounding the cen
trail powers, and the material aid
which Rumania could give would be
of an important character. She has
had between 100000 and 100000 sol
diers modified for nearly year and
her army is reputed to be one Of the
best equipped and trained in Europe.
