Berlin, Nov. 22.-Craiova, vital nerve
of the strategic railway net of western
Roumania, fell to the army OF General
Won Falhenhayn at noon Tuesday. It's
loss is The most serious blow suffered
by King Ferdinand's army since Rou-
mania intervention on the allies side.
In the grip of a wise of steel whose
only exit leads into impossible
swamps, deep thrust cut into the
Wallachian plain whose products feed
its people, the most fertile of the Bal
kan kingdom, seems face to face with
certain doom
Roumanian Army Threatened.
At Craiova the Teutons stand 100
miles due west of Bucharest. In con-
troll of four of the most important rails
of communication their head-long adj
vance toward the heart of the king
dom continues swifter than ever. That
advance holds menace of striking the
greatest strategical blow of the war
It threatens the bulk Of the Rouman-
ian army still battling south of the
Transylvanian Alps and particularly
the forces around Arsova, near the
''iron gate" with being completely cut
off from all avenues of escape.
For these sorely shattered forces,
last desperate stand in an open battle
against overwhelming odds in num-
bers of men and guns-or surrender
is the only alternative unless a mir
acle happens.
Roumanians Lose in Northwest.
The whole fighting in northerwest-
ern Roumania as the result of the Teu-
ton cash into Wallachia has assumed
the character of a race for the rail-
ways. In jul and Motru valleys the
Teutons won the race when they
reached their main goal, Craiova. Omi-
nous indications that the feat is about
to be repeated further to the north
east is contained in the Russian war
office statement admitting that under
pressure of the enemy Roumanian
troops are retiring slowly southwark
in the Alt valley" Moreover, this Pc
trograd bulletin is a belated one, for
IN another paragraph it placed the re-
treating Roumanians in the region Of
Filliash. That point is forty miles
northwest of Craiova. A few hours af-
ter receipt of the Russian statement,
Berlin officially announced Craiova's
fall.
"On the Alt river" said the German
war Office in an earlier official report
from Berlin, "some important towns
and intrenched heights were captured
by us from the Reumanians in severe
struggles"
Teutons Pour Into Passes.
Through each of the Transylvanian
passes Teuton troops are being poured
some in pursuit of the retreating Rou-
manians, others in sweeping fanking
movements against those of King Fer
dinand's forces as are still graphing
for every inch of ground in vain hopes
to turn the tide of battle.
With Vraiova captured, the COM
pIete overrunning of Wallachia, the
southwestern part of Roumania, is
partly accomplished. The fate of Rou-
mania is being decided in series of
huge battles whose scene is one of the
most fertile regions of Europe
