The town of Barakli, on the right bank of the Struma river, and on the eastern end of the Macedonian front, has been occupled by British troops. On the western Macedonian front in the Monastir region, Berlin reports, all attacks of the entente forces were repulsed.

Except for the capture by the Rus- slans of several helghts near Jaco- bene, west of Kimpolung, Bukowina, neither Petrograd or Berlin report any great activity on the eastern front. In Dobrudja_apparently there has been little change. Berlin states that the Rumanian artillery fire in the region of Silistria on the Danube below Tchernavoda, has increased.
