widely in the painless mountains and
tractless wilderness, their supplies cut on.
Hundreds are expected to be gathered IN

hayn TO scour the country.
The victory has caused the greatest ex-
eitement and Jubilation seen here in
months. The press divides credit between
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg and Gen.
Won FaIkenhayn for the successful
strategy and between the field commander
and his subordinate, Gen. Krafft Won Del

1t was an army group under Gen. Won
Delmensingen which captured the famous
Red Tower pass, through which large
bodies Of Roumanians had forced way
into Pennsylvania, and sealing 1t against
them, turned their left wing, closing in
from the south, while Won Falkenhayn
struck from the west and north.
This wide encircling movement caught
the Roumanians in a ring Of iron from
which. despite their furious attacks,
they were unable to cut a way. Trapped,
thousands fought TO the death, others
were taken prisoners, while many are
afoot in the mountain wilderness trying
10 find their way to their comrades across
the rugged Alpine chain.
The thrust of Won Delmensingen's
troops in behind the Roumanians is greet
ed by the German press as one Of the
most notable military achievements Of
