The towns of Toprai Sari, fourteen miles scuthwest of Constanza, and Cobadin, 17 miles southeast of the Danube town of Rachova, have been taken by the combined Austrian, Ger- man, Bulgarian and Turkish forces, who' are declared by Berlin to be in pursuit of their defeated antagonists. On the Transylvania front hard fighting _continues in the mounfain passes, but with the result in doubt, owing to the conflicting statements of the Berlin, Petrograd and Bucharest | war offices: .. Poteograd says the Fa< manians have been forced back in the Buzeu valley. Bucharest, however, dges I not concede this, asserting that coun- ter-attacks by the Teutonic allies here were repulsed at the point of the bay- Lonet. It is evident from the official [ statements, despite their discrepan- jcles as to results, that no great | changes in position have taken place | anywhere along this front, but that the | Rumanians are fighting tenaciously to | hold back the would-be invaders of | their country. | The battl | the Narayuv sulted in an important victory for the of the past week along river in Galicia has re- | Austro-German forces over the Rus- ! slans, according to Berlin. Here the Russians now hold only a small part | of the front on the west bank of the river, following a general attack by the Teutonic allies between Svitelniki and Skomovochy, in which the Russians were driven back suffering heavy cas- ualties. Petrozrad says, however, that the fighting along the riv till in progress and that the positions have changed hands eral times Twice during Surflay—in the morn- ing and in the afternoon—the Ger- mans launched violent attacks against the newly won French positions in the Chaulnes Wood, south of the Somme river in France. Doth attacks were repulsed, the Germans suffering heavy casualties, says Pa Some of the attackers in the morning offensive gained a foothold in the French first line, but were surrounded and the 150 survivors taken prisoners. Berlin in admitting that in Satur- day’s fighting the British north of the Somme made gains, characterizes the British losses as a “reckless sacrifice of human lives.” Several trenches be- tween Biaches and La Maisonnette, south of the Somme, were recaptured Saturday from the I'rench, says Ber- lin. Despite bad_ weather on the Mace- donian front slight additional progress has been made by the entente allies the Cerna River rezion. German troops are now aidinz their Buizarian allies in the fighting at the bend of the Cerna. Heavy rainstorms and snowfalls are impeding the operations in the Aus- tro-Ttalian theater. A Germ croplane which dropped four bombs at Sheerness, England, on Sunday, is believed to have been the same aircraft that was destroved later and fell into ‘the s&a under the attack of a British naval aeroplane.
