The fact that in their rear an enemy was destroying their one direct line of communication does not seem to have troubled them much. Probably the thought that the road through the Alt valley and to Kronstadt was open may be responsi- ble for this.
 The original program had called for a general attack at ' o'clock in the morning on the 26th. The flank ing troops were in telephOnic connec- tion with headquarters, and so learn ed that the attack from Hermann stadt had been postponed. The situ- atiOn of the alpine troops was far from reassuring. A movement on their own flank might be undertaken by the Rumanians at any hour The 26th passed. The flanking body had been divided into three columns, as the pass was approached. The one advancing close to the Rumanian border reached the pass close to Riul Vatului, the Rumanian border point The central column neared the gorge three miles above, while the third body squeezed itself through between
