 Rumanian army and capturing the railway thus shutting of Bucharest from direct rail communication with 1 the Black Sea and cutting the most convenient line for sending Russian i endorsements and supplies into Ru- mania.
 Process of Crushing Rumauia. ss
 This accomplished, there began the process of crushing Rumania in the nut-cracl1er fashion made familiar byi the Germans in this war. First the [ RumanianS were pushed back to their frontier on the north. Thisswas eas- fly accomplished, as the invaders of Hungary were apparently ill<equipped to hold their ground. General von Falkenhayn, in charge of this opera tion, then began hammering at the passes through the TransyIvanian to rea6h the Rumanian pIain.5 The Rumanian, assisted in some cases by the Russians, tenaciously defended the passes and their approaches, but all along the line the Teutonic at tack progressed and finally, ons-Eev. IS, came the vital break in the RlI- manian line. This occurred in the upper Jiu1 valley, when von FaikeH- hayn won the great battle of TiFgu- Jui and opened the way to the plains of Little Wallachfa.
 Won FaIkenhayn's Drive.
 Driving southward, won Fa1l<enhayn quickly captured Craiova cutting off the Rumanian forces in the Orsova re- zion, in extreme western Rumania, and by November 28 had virtually completed the conquest of Little Wal ] lachia. The Rumanian retreat seast< ward was in full swing by this time, when suddenly came the news that von Mackensen, who had been mar shal1ing a big army in Dobrudja, had | effected a crossing of the Danube at several points, one of them at Zimnit- ga, turning the position the Ruman- | ians had taken up along the Alt river after their retreat from the JiuL Events Moved Rapidly.
 | From then on events moved rapid ] ly. Won sMackensen, capturing GiuF- -s l giu on the Danube, pressed up the railroad line. thence towards Buchar- est and the armies from the west and north, winning engagements. that per- mitted the influx of additional forces | through the passes. fought their way | to the line of the Argeehu.
 Line Broken in Great Battle.
 This line was broken in great bat tie on December 3, in which the First Rumanian Army was badly defeated and began falling back eastward in disorder. The Austro o-German armies were nearing the capital on three sides and at no point, except on. the south. meeting really effective re- siStance. Even to the south it was announced on Tuesday that they had | worked within seven miles of the caP- itaI. which had been reported under bombardment for several days,ei and It's evacuation by. the Rumanians was hourly looked for.
 Fourth Entente Capital to Fall.
 In entering Bucharest the armies of the central powers have taken their fourth entente capital Early in the war King Albert and the Belgian gov ernment were forced out of Brussels and last year King Peter of Serbia and King Nicholas of Montenegro
 were successfully compelled to give up their capitals to the Teutonic invad-
 CTS Now the process has been re- peated in the case of King Ferdinand of Rumania.
 Bucharest Was We'll Fortified.
 Bucharest, before the present war relegated old-fashioned Notifications to the scrap heap, was considered ex- tremely well defended by it's outlying
 works, which comprised eighteen for tifications of the first class and many
 Paris, it was accounted probably the
 largest military camp in the world
 capable of accommodating 200, ,000
 men. The city. gay capital in peace
 times, with a population of nearly
 300,009, was frequently alluded to as
 "the Paris of the East" It covers an
 area in excess of twenty square miles;
 contains the royal residence. the tgoF- | ernment buildings and other notable structures and is the center of Q con- | siderable trade. -zs
