up nineteen days in Bermuda for lack
of bunker coal, and in imminent danger
of being seized at any time by the

The steamer was only able to get

Captain Theodore Krumm, of New

son beyond the three-mile limit off the
Bermudas. and also in the more open

the steamer with coal, but the colonial
secretary issued an order against their
doing so.

and so overwhelming that whole groups
OF AuStrians were cut of from the
main army and gathered behind the Ru-

The second action was to the west
Of this sector, in the valley of the

place for the possession of Bran

changing hands repeatedly. this strong
position fell to the Rumanians, who

In cooperation with the Cars forces
the Rumanians carried out third op-
