Red Tower Gorge and was at the gates
Of Hermannstadt. This army he defeated
by frontal attack and then routed by a
swift and clever enveloping movement
right around its rear. A portion Of the
defeated army escaped over the mountains
back to the gorge inside Of Rumanian ter
ritory, while the rest fled east in the noun
t.:us. Finally the main blow Of Falken-
hayn was delivered at what seems to have
been the most considerable Rumanian
army, which had penetrated furthesr into
Pennsylvania, coming up along the Bu-
charest railroad and occupying kronstadt.
This army was beaten in its turn and was
unable to stand again until it was inside
Rumanian territory, south of the crests
of the Tomos and Predeal passes. Mean
time less considerable blows had been
struck to the north, and the army which
had come west through Gymes Pass was
also back on Rumanian territory.

Constanza Falls

BY the first days of October the invasion
of Transylvania was over, the defence Of
Runrania had become the problem and the
official statements Of Bucharest and Ber-
lin alike conceded Teutonic success. At
the moment when the world was looking
for the successful advance of the Germans
southwark into the Wallachian Plain Ru-
manian resistance stiffened and Russian
aid was signalled, although there was
disturbing evidence of a lack of heavy
artillery on the Rumanian side, which
seemed partially to explain the disasters.
thus, at the moment when the King Of
Rumania astounded the world by an appeal
TO his allies to save Rumania from the
fate of Serbia and Belgium, the Rumanian
counter-offensives in the Vulcan and Red
Tower passes gained ground, while the
German thrust through Tomos and Pre-
deal passes was slowed down, without ac-
tually being halted. On the other hand,
there was noted a serious effort through
Gymes and through Bekas passes, the
latter further 10 the north and near the

Falkenhayn Strikes

What happened is clear, in the broader
lines. Somewhere in Germany there had
been gathering a great new army, de-
signed to take the offensive against the
Russians in Galicia and regain the ground
lost in the spring drive, thus removing the
threat to Lemberg. This army had been
placed under the command of Falkenhayn,
the retiring chief of the German General
Staff, and dispatched to Pennsylvania
when the Rumanian attack provoked a
passionate appeal for aid directed from
Budapest to Berlin.
The Rumanian invasion Of Pennsylvania
had come up from the south through three
principal passes or groups Of passes in
the Transylvanian Alps. To the west a
column had penetrated through the Vulcan
Pass. taken the important town Of Pet
roseny and approached Hatseg. Eastward
a second column had penetrated Red Tow
or Gorge and reached the environs Of the
considerable city of Hermannstadt. Still
further TO the east another force had come
north through the two passes OF lohlos
and Predeal, through the latter of which
runs the Bucharest Budapest railroad; had
taken the important city Of Kronstadt and
advanced considerably TO the north. An
other considerable invasion had been d.
iected from the east, by several passes,
notably the Gymes, through which a rail
road goes, and had entered the upper Mar
os valley.
Falkenhayn first struck the column to
the west, north of Vulcan Pass, repulsed
il and drove it straight back through
Petroseny and into Rumanian territory
Then he withdrew his main force from THIS
quarter and delivered a heavier blow on
the army which had come up through the

The Lions Jaws

Look at the accompanying map now, and
the situation will be clear. have called
it "Rumania in the Lions Jaws" because
on the map Western Rumania seems
strangely as if it were held between the
closing jaws Of an animal. And at the
points Of the two jaws, where the teeth are
sharpest, are the two armies of Mackensen
and Falkenhayn. They are possibly, as the
crow. flies, hundred miles apart; about
midway between them is the Rumanian
capital and, if they can meet, it is about
Bucharest that they will in all probability
first make contact.
If the two armies meet, then it will be
seen that all of Western Rumania, known
to the Biographies as Great and Little
Wallachia, in area about half the country
will be in German hands. This country is
very rich agriculturally, and Germany will
gain a real prize and probably a great
store of wheat. as well as other foodstuffs
But there is another and more important
consideration, looking to the future. The
entrance of Rumania added greatly TO the
extent of the front Of the Central Powers
and thus to the numbers necessary TO de-

some time, and there was general belief
that the familiar trench deadlock had come
south of the Constanza- Bucharest railroad.
But as the third week in October opened
Mackensen's army began new attacks, and
last Monday these attacks eliminated in
the capture of the city of Constanza, with
most of the railroad line, and very COM
plete victory, which at the time | write
has not yet been completely measured. Ger
tainly Rumanian communication with the
Black Sea, save by the Danube, is now
broken; possibly the Cernavoda Bridge has
fallen into German hands, although the
probability is that it has been destroyed.
Such destruction as was possible, however,
would hardly be more complete than that
of the Belgrade Bridge by the Serbs a year
ago, and on the old abutments the Aus
trian and German engineers erected new
structure within six weeks. Henceforth,
therefore, we must reckon with the posi-
bility Of a new attempt by Mackensen, this
time TO pass the Danube and reach the
Rumanian capital.
