The Braila bridgehead, while not itself an integral part of the Sereth line, now held by the Russians run- ning north westward from the Danube toward the Moldavian frontier which formed an outlying deferrse of that line on the Danube end and its cap- ture, weakens the eastern fiank of the Sereth position. Galatz, likewise on the Danube, lics just behind the Sereth liie and that town is menaced by a German _and Bulgarian movement across the Dan- ube from it in Dobrudja, made possi- ble by the Russian evacuation of the province, Ts not only here, however, that the Sereth line is threatened, for despite & tenacious defense by the Russians and Rumaniang the line mnorthwest- ward by Buzeu river {s not holding well against the Teutonic pressure, while the efforts to keep the Teutons in check in the Moldavian frontier valley is apparently proving still less successful. & A break in this line on tl.e souther- 1y front would imperil the Moldavian frontier position while the piercing of the frontier line itself, not an appar- ent improbability, would endanger the entire line running southwostward to the Danube. In these circumstances, commenta- tors in Entente capitals are consider- ing the possibility of the Russians be- ing compelled to abandon the line of the Sereth and withdraw on the Rus- sian front, to Bessarabla.

BLAIR FOU ar D IN HOSPITAD. ssing Newington Man Suffering From Heart Trouble. The mysterious absencs of Louis Blair from his home in Newington was cleared up late vesterday when he was found in a Hartford hospital critically ill with heart trouble. His recovery is not expected. His condi- tion has been such since he was picked up in Hartford that the offi- cials were able to learn liltle about him, Blair had been missing from his home since December 20 when he went to Hartford with Paul Matthias, his son-in-law, to get a check from the board of health for collection of garpage. Both men are said to have drank considerable and Matthias re- turned home with the story that they had been arrested but the police had let him go but had kept Blair. He had the impression that Blair had been sent to jail but inquiry by relatives there was without avail. Discovery of Blair at the hospital resulted from an entry showing that a “Louis Blith” had called at police headquarters December 20 in a very poor physical condition and had asked for aid. He was so ill that he was hurried to the hospital. DEATHS AND FUNERALS Fannie Taucher.
