But, it seems. such fears were

London, Sept. 12.-Important gains
are recorded for the allies on the
Somme sector in the French and Brit
ish official statements. On a front
of than a quarter mile the Brit
ish gained 300 yards east of High
wood, and northeast of Pozieres cap
tured 900 yards of German trenches.
German casualties, according to the
British, were extremely heavy. Like
wise, the French, forcing the attack
in the Verdun sector, captured a
whole section of German trenches
east of Fleury. Fighting on three
fronts, the Rumanians have dealt
hard blows at the armies of the cen
trail powers. In southeastern Ru-
mania, Rumanian troops and Russian
troops have driven the Bulgarians
from the fortified town of Bazardjik.
The Bulgarians also were forced to
%evacuate another town in Dobrudja.
In northern Pennsylvania the Ru-
manians have occupied Olah Toplitza
and a number of other towns. Blu
charest records the repulse of an Aus
trian attack south of Mehadia on the
Danube. The fall of Halicz, southeast
Of Lemburg, in Galicia, appears immi-
nent. Austrians are reported to be
blowing up the forts in Halicz and
Russians are said to have occupied
some of them. 1t is unofficially report
ed that the Russians on the left bank
Of the Dniester are bombarding the
%retreating Austrians.
On the Somme French have cap
tured a small wood east of Belloy-En-
Santerre and the British have taken
a German trench in the High wood.
Berlin asserts that a British enter
prise in High wood and a French at
tack against the Berny-D eniecourt
sector failed.
The French war office says 200
Germans have been captured since
Sept. 8.
Official announcement was made at
Berlin that the German and Bulgarian
forces that are invading eastern Ru-
mania have captured the Rumanian
fortress of Silistria, on the Danube,
sixty miles southeast of Bucharest.
West of Lake Ostrovo the Serbians,
after a violent engagement, captured
a height. On the rest of the front
only artillery engagements have taken
place.
In an attack Oh the Trentino, Aus.
trian forces broke through the Italian
trenches, but a counter attack, Rome
says, recovered a great part of the
lost ground. An Austrian attack in
the Tofana one was repulsed by
Italians.
German casualties in the war dur
ing the month of August, according
to a compilation at London from the
German casualty lists, totalled 24O,,
900. This brings the German total
since the beginning Of the war, as
compiled from the same sources, to
3,375,O0O.
