NJ EW YORK, January THE
IN New Year found the situa-
ton on the various war fronts but
little changed. Save in Rumania,
where the Teutonic drive centin-
ues undated, the fighting men Of
all armies are awaiting change
in the weather conditions, to en-
able them to once again begin the
work of slaughter.
Saturday night the dispatches
from Berlin announced that the
troops under Won Mackensen were
proceeding northward in the Do
brudja district, driving the Enten-
tie forces before them on the Mol
davian Runianian frontier. The
German Bulgarian campaign now
extends over front Of more than
l20 miles, or from the Danube
river to the Oituz pass in the Car
pathians, with the heaviest blows
being delivered at the railroad be-
tween Riniinik Sarat and Fox
sham. :1'3' .... ss
In Pennsylvania, the Teutons
have announced the capture of go
guns Of all sizes, with much am
munition and other supplies from
the foes. They have also pressed
back the Russians from a number
of heights north and south of the
Oituz pass.
On the other fronts there is but
little activity Save for the big
guns, which continue to lombard
the lines OF the enemy, more in
an effort to show that the armies
in front are still in position and
awaiting their opportunity to
strike than for any other reason.
North and northeast of Verdun
the fighting has dwindled down
once more to mere trench lombard
ments, with once in a while a sor-
tie by this side or the other, the
clash of minor patrols, and the us
ual casualties of trench warfare.
In the Macedonian front the
struggle continues, but in an inter
mittent manner, while on the Carso
plateau, the Austrians and Italians
are Smelling each other, but their
infantrymen are sticking close to
their trenches. s.a.- 4.
