The panic spread by German
agents has not totally unseated the
reason OF those troops but the rate
OF the German advance has been so
rapid that 1t is doubtful II the two
armeis can save ell their equipment,
One encouraging feature was the
loyalty OF Russian and Rumanian
troops In the southern Carpathians
where they have vigorously attacked
the Teutonic forces. The fighting on
the far northern front, around wilma,
however. has practically ceased.
