powers, is still struggling desperately
to ward off the incossant attacks of
Field Marshal Won Mackenseu and
General Won Falkenhayn.
Advancing northward in Dobrud ia
Won Mackensen's troops have reached
a line running from firsova on the
Danube to Casapkeui on the Black sea
coast, from forty to sixty miles from
where they crossed the ConstanZa
Tchernavoda railway line. The cap
ture of Hrsova would give the Teu-
tonic allies the advantage OF having
little marshy ground to traverse should
they attempt to make crossing of
the river here into old Rumania as
the low-lying ground virtually disap-
pears for some distance around
Hirsova.
General Won Falkenhayn continues
to make progress in the direction OF
Campulung. south Of Predeal on the
Transylvanian front and Bucharest
admits a retirement OF the Rumanian
forces in the Jiul valley which is
situated i'm the Vulcan pass region. The
Russo Rumanian forces to the north
have rcpulsed Anstro- German attacks
while in the t'zul valley the Rumanlans
of Okna have occupied height and
village.
Bad Weather Hampers.
1nclement weather is hampering the
operations on the Somme and Mace
DOMAIN fronts and only bombardments
have taken place in these regions.
Another attempt by the Germans at
an attack west of Douaumont in the
Verdun region was checked by the
French curtain of fire. The Germans
are still heavily bombarding all the
newly won positions of the French in
this region.
On the eastern front In Russia there
has been little fighting except in the
region of the Shara river northwest
of Pinsk. Near Goldovitchi n German
attack forced the Russians to retire
to the eastern bank of the Shara. In
an engagement in the English channel
between British and German torpedo
boat destroyers two German de
stroyers were sunk, according to Lon
don, while the British lost an empty
transport. In addition a British tor
pedo boat destroyer Is missing and
another was run aground after it had
been disabled by n torpedo.
