RUSSIAN DEFENSES
TAKEN BY TEUTONS

BERLIN, Dec. 20 (By wireless to
Sayville, n. W The position re.
Gently taken up by the Russians on
the Rimnik Sarat Filipechti Danube
front, to protect the Rumanian retreat,
was strongly entrenched and stub
bornly defended and there 10 ample
evidence that it was not planned as a
temporary line Of defense, says an
Overseas News Agency review today.
Nevertheless, the reviewer points out,
it was broken by Field Marshal Won
Mackensen. who chose a bold frontal
attack against the strongest point,
near RimnilsS.rat, as the means, and
pierced the lire on a 17.Alometre
front in a five-day battle.
The pivot of the whole position
during the engagements, adds the re-
viewer, the town OF Rimnik,Sarat
was captured on December Is. Gen.
Sakharoff. with rapidly concentrated
forces, attempted at the eleventh hour
to re.es,ablish tho situation. The
Russians charged against the brave
Bulgarian divisions advancing along
the Danube. but were unable to turn
the tide of the battle"
