Roumanians Victorious Over
Teutons in First Hard
Battle Fought.
IT LASTS FOR FIVE DAYS

London, Sept. Sin the first hare
battle between Roumanians and Aus
trian troops, the Austrians have beer
forced to retire across the Cerna
river, north Of Orsova, near the Iron
Gate on the Danube. Vienna an.
nounces that the Austrian troops
Withdrew after five days of heavy
fighting.
In eastern Pennsylvania. the Aus
trian retirement continues. Hermann
stadt has been evacuated. Apparent
ly the Austrians are carrying out the
reported plan Of shortening the battle
line in Pennsylvania.
London announces another Zeppe-
lin raid over the esat coast of Eng
land on Saturday night. Few de-
tails have been received. Bombs were
dropped on several places.
Note to 60 to Zaimis.
The entente ministers at Athens,
says belated dispatch from the
Greek capital, have drafted note
for presentation to Premier Zaimis.
The note probably was handed to the
Greek premier on Saturday. The
tenor of its contents is not known.
The arrival Of an allied fleet off
Piraeus, the port Of Athens, has been
followed by the announcement that
the flag of France has been hoisted
on four German and three Austrian
merchant ships in the harbor. Board
ing parties from the entente warships
seized the vessels.
No official announcement of politi-
cal changes has come either from the
Greek government or the entente cap
itals. The revolt reported in Mace
donia is now said to have spread over
the whole of northern Greece.
Dispatches from Athens say that
Premier Zaimis had a lengthy audi
ence with King Constantine Thurs
day, and afterward announced that
Greece maintained her policy of
friendly neutrality toward the en-
tente.
Russ Take Position.
The Greek premier, another dis
patch says. declared that political
questions would be cleared up prob
ably before Sunday morning.
Against strong Austrian resistance,
Petrograd says the Russians have
taken positions forty miles east OF
Lemberg. Near the Hungarian from
