BATTLEF|ELDs OF
EUROPE ARE QUIET
No Important Engagements Ex-
cept in Roumania Where
Teutons Keep Moving.

The period Of comparative calm which
has existed on all the battle fronts for
some ,ilne except in Roumania, continues.
In no theatre. aside from Roumania. has
an important engagement taken place,
the activity everywhere being carried out
by means of the artillery and by small
patrol parties.
In Roumania the Tcutonic allies haVc
gained another considerable success in
the capture in northern Dobrudja of tha
towns Of Matchin and Jijila, on the east
ern bank of the Danube opposite tn,
important town OF Braila, forcing tho
Russians to point just Soulh of tina
Danube where the river bends and sep.
arates Dobrudja from Bessarabia.
In Moldavia and northern Wallachia tho
invaders are keeping UP their gains both
norLhward and eastward from the Tran
sylVanian Alps region. AT several points
in the center of the lines in north Wala-
CHA however, tho Russians and Eouma
mans arc tenaciously lighting to hold them
back and, according to PetroSrad in the
region southwest of FocSani and near the
SRiver Rmnik the Teutonic allies were de-
feated. the defenders taking several vii
lagos and capturing six officers, SO men,
five cannon and eight machine guns.
On the western front, lively artillery
duels are in progress in Belgium and on
several sectors in the region OF Verdun.
on the Austro-ltalian front lombard
ments alone have taken place. There ia
still no news concerning the operations
