nosly Germans shows that the Kai-
grs reserves ave been called on TO
nssn the resistance of their shat
,rsi allies. The forces Of the Dual
Monarchy are now split into two great
.tiies, the troops in ehe north being
Eivded back against the defences
sloag the Zlota Lipa, while those in
he south are being forced into the
Csipathisn foothills. Communication
b,iveen them, except in the most
roundabout way. is severed.
there are strong indications that
5rsiloE, having driven a wide wedge
!, the Teuton defence belt, is about to

q the broken line. All the preliminar-
ssot a general offensive are apparent
o. the Rgmanian front, along the en-
lie line commanded By Archduke Jo-
ispt and Field Marshal Won Mackensen.
