able Supreme Court action was ex-
pected to-day on the motion to assign

validity of the Adamson act and both
government and railroad attorneys are
said to be virtually ready for the argu-

WILL
MAKE LAST STAND
ON BUZEU RIVER
Northern Army Succeeds in
Holding Germans; Plan to De-
fend Border of Moldavia

indications to-day point more
strongly than ever to the probability
that the new defensive line of the Ru-
manians, following their retreat from
Bucharest. will be drawn along the
Buzeu river forming the southern
boundary of their northern province
of Moldavia.
Additional reports from Petrograd
Indicate n considerable measure of
success by the Rumanian northern
army in holding up the Teutonic ad-
vance northeast along the railroad
from Ploechti, north oof Bucharest, to
the town of Buzeu. located at about
the center of the Buzeu river line,
which stretches eastward to the lower
reaches of the Danube

1t is necessary to the apparent pur-
pose of the Rumanians for them to
prevent an Austro- o-German advance
here until the Rumanian forces furth-
er south in eastern Wallachia, retreat
ing from the region between Buchar-
est and Tchernavoda. have reached
the BuZeu river line, unless. indeed,
have decided to retain a hold on more
of Eastern Wallachia than it now
seems their purpose to defend. These
Rumanian forces are threatened not
only by Field Marshal Won Macken-
sens Danube army but by new con-
tingents of Bulgarians which have
crossed the Danube between Silistria
and Tchernavoda.
Russians Hammcring Away
Meanwhile the Russians are ham,
mering away at the Austro- German
lines on the western frontier of Mol
davia and report making headway in
the valleys running toward the west.
Their object apparently is not only to
hold the Molde.vian frontier safe, but
possibly to achieve an eventful sue
cess in breaking well through into
Hungary and cutting in behind the
Austro- German supply lines leading
into Rumania from the north.
There has been little fighting of an
important nature on the other fronts.
In Macedonia, the Serbians report
having driven the Bulgarians back in
one sector northeast of Monastir On
the Franco Belgian front little has de-
veloped beyond intermittent artillery
activity in the Somme area and avia-
ton operations on a considerable
scale.
