FIGHTING IN DENSE FOES
Germans Check Russian Attempt
To Advance Southwest OF
Stanislau, On Eastern
Front.

Berlin.-Ehorts OF the Roumanians
to recapture positions along the
Pennsylvania frontier we're without
success, the War Office announced
Since October 10 the Austrians and
Germans have captured more than TO-
900 Roumanians. The announcement
follows:
Army group Of Archduke Charles
Francis: Quiet prevails on the Tran
sylvanian eastern front. In the south
ern frontier mountains fighting goes
on in spite Of heavy fog and snow
storms. North of Campulung, near
Boerzeny and north of Orsova the
Roumanians attempted in vain to take
back heights captured from them.
"Since October 10 General Won Fal-
kehayn's army has captured 151 Rou-
manian officers, 1920 men and much
war material, including 81 cannon, AZ
machine guns and one 1ag.
Army group of Field Marshal Won
Mackensen: The situation in Do
brudja is unchanged"
Berlin claims the failure of Rou-
manian efforts to recapture heights
north of Campulung where the Aus
tro-German advance had pressed a con-
siderable distance into Roumanian ter
ritory southwest Of Kronstadt
Russian troops attacked the German
lines near Krashin, in the Shara dis
trict, but met with a sanguinary re-
pulse, according to army headquarters
announcement
Important heights further south
were taken by German contingents,
who repulsed Russian counter-attacks
and captured 4 officers, 10 men and
9 machine guns. Russian attempts to
advance southwest of Stanislau we're
futile.

Serious, Says Lansing.

Washington.-Prel reports OF
the sinking by German submarines Of
the British steamers Marina and Row
anmore, partly manned by Americans,
are too incomplete to enable officials
at the State Department to form an
opinion as to whether there had been
a violation of neutral rights or OF
pledges given the United States by
Germany. Secretary Lansing declined
to comment further than to admit
that the reports appeared more serious
than the usual routine dispatches an
nouncing the destruction Of belliger-
ent merchantmen, and that full infor-
nation would be awaited with interest.
On its face, the case Of the Marina,
reported by Consul Frost at Queens
town, presents the gravest situation
that has arisen since the sinking Of
the Channel liner Sussex, which
brought the American and German
Governments to the verge OF a break.
Although he cautioned that his infor-
nation was purely provisional" tho
Consul cabled that the Marina, a
horse transport with a mixed crew of
British and Americans" was reported
sunk without warning by German sub.
marine gunfre 100 miles west OF Cape
Clear, and that 20 Of the crew OF 104
were missing.

Cargo OF Dyestuffs and Chemicals.
Vessel Had Cleared For "Baltl-

New London.-Conn.-Ten million
dollars worth of dyestufts and drugs
and, It was said, possibly stocks,
bonds and precious stones" comprise
the cargo OF the German submarine
merchantmen Deutschland, according
to a statement by Capt. Paul Koenig,
commander Of the craft.
The Deutschland is In this port, after
having succeeded in making a second
voyage from a German port to the
American coast, despite the watchful-
ness Of British and French war YES
sells.
Under Capt Paul Koenig, who was
in command during her first trip to
Baltimore, the Deutschland left
Bremen on October 10.
The submarine entered the lower
harbor shortly after midnight, coming
in by the Race at the entrance to Long
Island Sound. For several weeks the
Eastern Forwarding Company, agents
for her owners, had a tug each night
off Montauk Point ready to meet the
Bremen, but the tug was withdrawn
some time ago. II was evident that
the Forwarding Company had some
warning of the Deutschland's arrival,
however, for a tug was engaged, and
Capt T. Hinsch of the Company, ac-
companIed by the health officer, steam
ed out to meet the submersible.

Deutschland travelled to her wharf.
Delayed BY Collision.
Captain Koenig said that he had eX-
pected TO leave Bremen on October l,
but that his boat was injured in a col
lislon and forced to put back for re-
pairs, which delayed her sailing for 10
days.
The captain and the crew Of 25 men
we're in excellent health and high
spirits over the success Of their sec
ond venture. The Deutschland carried
clearance papers for Baltimore or any
Atlantic port"
The boat was no sooner moored
than she was screened from sight by
a pontoon carrying high fence. Her
crew went on board the Willehad,
where quarters were awaiting them.

GERMANS GIVE
Up FORT VAUX
All Ground They Took East OF
The Meuse Lost.
PORTIONS OF FORT BLOWN UP
German Crown Princes Army Unable
Longer To Hold Positions
He Captured Last
Spring.

Berlin.-The German Crown Princes
army has evacuated'Fort Vaux and has
now retired from nearly all the i'm.
portant positions taken along the
eastern bank Of the Meuse River in
this years campaign.
Fort Yaux was evacuated on the
night OF November IL, in accordance
with pre-arranged plans, according to
the German military leaders, who indi-
cate that they considered the sacrifice
involved in its retention out Of pro-
portion to its value in the present Ger
man strategic scheme.
Did Not Justify Losses.
Forts Dounmont and Vaux, It was
explained, formed such a material ele,
ment in the defense Of verdun as long
as they remained with unimpaired
armament in French hands that they
had to be put out Of action in order to
cripple the fortress, and once this was
accomplished the ruins Of the forts,
with the armaments removed, pos
sessed no such Importance to the Ger
mans and served chiefly as targets for
the French artillery.
Now that Fort Douaumont had pass
ed again into French possession,
Fort Vaux no longer in the opinion Of
the German leaders, justified the heavy
sacrifice necessary to retain the
ground about the fort, which is i'll
adapted to defense against attacks
from the south and west. Fort Vaux
was therefore abandoned and the Ger
man lines retired to positions less ex-
posed to the French artillery.
The German statement regarding
the western front follows:
Western Front: Army group Of
Crown Prince Rupprecht In the dis
trict northof the somme artillery ac-
tivity was renewed locally An ad-
vance of English forces north Of
Courcellette was easily repulsed.
French attacks in the sector Of
Lesboeufs and Rancourt brought small
advantages for the enemy northeast
OF Merval and in the northwest edge
OF st. Pierre Vaast Wood. They we're,
however, in general repulsed sangu-
inarily. Our troops, in spite Of tenaci
Gus French resistance made advances
In the northern part of Sally.
Army group Of the German Crown
Prince: An artillery engagement on
the right bank Of the River Meuse re-
peatedly increased to great intensity.
The French up 10 the present have
directed an especially heavy and de-
structiye fire against Fort Vaux, which
had been evacuated already in the
night time by our troops, following a
given order and without being dis
turbed by the enemy. Important parts
Of the fort were blasted by US before
we left the positions"
Efforts Of the Roumanians to force
back the AustrO-German troops which
have invaded their country failed, the
War Office announces. Southeast OF
Rothenthurn Pas the invaders are
making further progress.
The announcement follows:
ION the Eastern Pennsylvania front

ian attacks agaist the Allied (Teu-
tonic) troops which had advanced be-
yond Altschanz and Predeal Passes
failed, with losses to the enemy We
