Wireless to Say- ville). The battle for possession of the southern bank of the lower Se- reth river, in central Rumania, alons a thirty mile front, has been decided fn Tavor of the central powers after fierce fighting, writes the military critic of the Overseas News Agency, who points out that the Teuton troops took just one month in forcing their way from Bucharest to Braila, a distance of 125 miles. The military critic adds: “The Russians werc defeated and lost taeir fortified fi~ld positions after weeks of preparation on the southern bank of the Sereth from where, ac- cording to reprated announcements in the entente press, a counter-offensive was to_have n launched. On a front of ten miles, except for some villages south of Fundeni, troops of the central powers reached the swampy districts and river bed of the lower Sereth. The booty has not yet been counted, as battles are still Zo- ping on. “Thanks fo the splendid combined operations of the Danube and Dobrud- ja armies which exercised a double pressure from the west and the east againgt Praila. Rumania’s most com- mercial town fell from the west and the east against Braila, Rumania’s most commercial town fell into the hands of the central powers. It was conquered after tenacious house-to- house fighting. “In just one month the forces of the centra]l powers traversed the road from Bucharest to Braila, a distance of 125 miles, under _continuous and strenuous fighting. The Danube town with its 65,000 inhabitants and impor- tant and efficient locks, depots and ele- vators, offers an extraordinarily im- portant strategical point of suppor for the central powers. Danube ship may now go from the heart of Ger- many as far as Braila On the other hand navigation by the Russians and Rumanians on the Danube has been completely stopped. “The extreme eastern point of sup- poit of the Russo-Rumanian armies in the Sereth position at Enales already is under fire. At Fundeni, the center of the Sereth position, the troops of the central powers are victoriously go- ing forward and the German and Au tro-Hungarian _troops are pushing against the extreme western positions of Sereth line at Focsani.” MASKED MEN ROBBED GREENWICH CAFE KEEPER Three Robbers Got $1,500 in Cash and Jewelry Valued at $900.
