The Teutonic invaders by bold and
rapid strokes apparently have captur-
ed large section Of Northwestern
WalIachia from the Rumanians. Pet
rograd announced a Rumanian retire
ment in Filliash. Judging from re-
cent reports this means the Teutonic
forces are moving southwark in the
jul valley and eastward along the
railway from Orsova, compelling the
Rumanians to withdraw from the
Orsova region and retreat rapidly. in
the jul valley to prevent being cut
off. Whether even this rapid retreat
has been in time to save these Ruman-
ian armies is made doubtful by the
German announcement that Teutonic
forces are before Craiova, as the
Craiova- Bucharest railroad is the only
convenient line Of retirement from the
