NIEW YORK, December H.
1 The change in the aspect of
affairs in the Balkans, which the
military writers of the Entente
countries have been predicting for
some tir1e, appears to have come
at last, and the Germans are be-
ing repulsed in the Dobrudja dis
-trict where the Russians and Rn-
hnanians are more than holding
their own. TX. ~. ... ,s,.,so .,s,,.,so
Such at least is the gist Of the
reports which have been feceiy-
ed from both the fighting forces
in that theater of the great war.
In the CarpathianS, where the
Russians have been alternately
advancing and retreating for
some months, they appear now to
have definitely taken the offensive
once more, and last night Petro-
grad reported that the Slav forces
have successfully attacked the
Germans and Austrians holding
some important heights, and have
driven them from their positions.
HEIGHTS TAKEN
In the Dobrudja district also the
fighting has been in the hilly coun-
try OF the northern section of that
region, which lies between the
bend OF the Danube, as it turns
east and flows toward the Black
sea, and the sea coast. Here the
Germans and Bulgars are reported
to- have been beaten back by the
defenders Of the country. ..
They had taken some heights
which commanded the Russian-Ru-
manian lines for several miles, and
threatened to force the Entente
troops to fall back still farther, but
the Russians sent reinforcements
of men and guns to the sorely press
ed troops and attacked yesterday
morning. The fighting was ex-
trcmely bloody and desperate while
it lasted, but the Entente pressure
was too much for the Teutons who
retreated, leaving their wounded
and dead behind them. IS
RUSSIANS PURSUING q.
The Slavs followed and the latest
reports state that they are now
struggling to drive the Teutonic
forces from other positions along
the crest of range OF hills to the
south Of the one they lost yesterday.
Across the river i'll Rumania pro-
per the fighting is still more in fa-
Ivor of the invaders, who are report
ed to be slowly advancing, on both
sides Of the lnsu- Racovitzcri.
