London, Jan. 2.-In none of the
fighting fronts, except the Rumanian,
are there more than perfunctory ac-
tivities by any of the belligerents. In
the Rumanian war theatre, the re-
ports indicate that some of the heavi-
est blows of the war are being struck
by Field Marshal Won Mackensen's
armies.
The Teutonic attack is being press
ed by strong forces all along the
curving front from northern Molda-
via to the Danube. At the latter
point, the bridgehead protecting
Braila on both sides Of the river is
being assaulted, and at last accounts
the Russo.Rumanian positions at
Matchin, on the Dobrudja shore was
in process of being pressed slightly
under the hammering Of the {Bulgari-
ans, Turks and Germans.
Loss 100000.
In a statement in reply to the re.
Gently published review of the battle
of the Somme by Field Marshal Haig,
the Overseas News agency asserts
that the British commanders state
ments in regard to the relative losses
of the British and Germans was dis
proved by the German and British
casualty lists. 1t states the loss OF
the Entente was 100000.

Attorney General Linde absolutely

out that the attorney might have acci-

type being very easily discharged. The
attorney general is of the belief that
with the gun in the left hand, and a
package of state documents under his
left arm and the two grips in his right
hand, that the attorney slipper after

What seems to be the more serious
threat to the Russian front, however,
is developing to the northeast, where
both the Petrograd and Berlin state
ments show Teutonic progress at va
rious points, notably in the direction
of Fokshani, north of Rimnik1Sarat,
near the southern Moldavian border,
and along the western Moldavian
frintier, where the offensive OF the
Central Powers in the Transverse val
ley is indicated as assuming notable
importance.
Danger of the western Moldavian
line being rolled up and retreat
forced is being pointed out at the
continuing thrusts at the Russo-Ru'
manian front, as it curves southeast
ward from the Moldavian mountains
and continues toward the Danube.

ions or delays may delay in the case

be made for permanent peace, the pur-
pose being to show neutral uphOlders
q future permanent peace that is OBJ
tainable.
