The operations of the Tmtonb Al lies in Rumania have brought them appreciably near Bucharest and are *UU progressing from the north and the went and the south and the smith went The northern hunk of the ltanulto in Rumania extending westward from Glurglu, on the railroad south of Buch arest, to opj>oslto Vidln, a short dis tance from the Serbian border, now 1" |U the bunds of the force# of the Cqu? frhWowers. ? The capture of i>oints in this region opposite Vidln, Loin-Pal ai)ka and Rahovo by the Bulgarians* would seem seriously to meuace the Rumanian troopa from the Orsova and TUrnu-Severin mih- tors, who were re muted several days ago to be in re treat to the southeast. The occupation of Glrttglu brings the line of Meld Marshal Von Mack enseal to within thirty-seven miles of Bucharest on the south, while the cap ture of Curtea de Argee, eighty miles northwest of the capital, evidently has cleared theT^polog secTOr of- Ruman ians ami given the Invaders the rail road to the important towns of Pitescl, ;th$ junction of the line running from :<latnpulung to Bucharest. In the center the Teutonic Allies are still driving eastward, having left the Ait valley far in their retfr. An un official dispatch from Bucharest says the retirement of the Rumanians Is $rp<^$dtng hi perfect order toward a ?^tew front already settled on for de <fy. T^ie operations in Macedonia are somewhat beclouded by reason of di vergent reports. Berlin says that north of Monasttr renewed attacks by thd Entente Allies failed, while the Serbian war Office claims that in fight ing along the entire front the Serbs at 3#/?m.m1 points made advance of several huridred metres. Sofia, on the other . hand, asserts that attacks on hill 1,050 and the villages of Paralovo were put down by the Bulgarians and Germans, 'as likewise was a Brltbdi ef . fenslve in the Vardar region south of tb* village of Bogoroditro: On the front in Prance and in the Sto^itaUan- theater nothing but Wittl hardments have taken place. South of Hft/oii the Russian, front, artillery duels-have been in progress. Conslder , able, activity also has developed In the region of Riga. In the Carpathians the Russians have begun another at tack against the Austro-Germans and fighting now Is proceeding there. I. :. Petrograd admits that the Turks have occupied the toWns of Adarmed anrf KOsltishogly. south of Van, Turk ish Armenia. The American steamer Chemung h?. been sunk in the Mediterranean off the coast ~oF~ Spain by a .German sub i marine. The crew was landed.

In addition the' Banish steamer Villamoes has been captured by (lie Germans. i TWo more Zeppelins, which were raiding Northeast England, have been bronght down In flames by anti-air craft guns. The crews of both air ships perished. A German airplane has dropped bombs' on London. Nine persons were" Injured. The material damage was' alight. '? ? ?h; Will be Interesting.
