Second army In its retreat in Transyl-

cy. THE Roumanan First army and
the larger part of the Second may
have been virtually annihilated.
when the successful attack was
made on the First army at Hermann
stadt by the Austro-German troops the
Roumanians planned to send the Sec
ond army to its assistance. This plan
was learned from reports Of aviators
which were found. The Second army
advapced too far to the west and was
forced to retreat in haste. Its retreat
became panicky flight. On October
IL isolated detachments were still be-
ing rounded up. Captured officers say
the army was completely disorganized.
1t would have been completely annihi-
lated IL Rounanian forces had not been
hurried in through the Torzburger and

THE Roumanian leaders lost their
surety OF direction. Brigades and regi-
ments In desperation were moved has
tily forward and back on railroads and
even on carts. Only pitiful fragments
of the army could be rescued from
Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania today is clear of the

Nitrates From Air.

When the thirteenth annual conven.

tanning nitrates from the atmosphere.
Nitrates are not only important as

ing upon Chile for It's supply, and the
deposits there will probably last so
years longer, but the United Stctes

ing to find a practicable method Of eS'
tracing the nitrates from the nitrogen
gas which forms so per cent Of the
air. The first plant for the manufac.
ture of nitrates was erected at Mag
ara Falls.
