Almost everywhere the Rumanians had Hie best of It. either In strong counter attacks or In stuhhorn I defence of mountain stronghold. Their flanking movement on Von Falken hnyn's ccntro progressed nnd the Teu ton right win Is still In retreat. Itusslnn troops nnd guns nre helping the Itumanlnns where tho need of help as great. Northwest of Klmpolung the Russian nrtlllcry wrought havoc In at tacking German columns, driving tile at tackers back to their trenches. The Ger man column cooperating with thin force t near Drsgoslavele, northeast of Kltnpo lung, mado no progress. It seems likely that Kus.il.in aid will prevent tho fall of Klmpolung. which wm seriously threatened. The Russian official statement contains the first of ficial news of Just whero the Russians are helping tho Rumanians, Rumanian luh Ahead. Tho Rumanian column that began yesterday to cut their way -uack Into Transylvania, threatening- the flank of the Teutons In tho l'rahova Valley, south of the Predcal Pass, are still forc ing ahead.

Attacks on tho Rumanians In the l'rahova Valley were limited to artillery fire. The Teuton right wing, mostly Ba "Yarlan troops, is apparently In dis astrous rout. The Rumanians announce that 433 prisoneis were taken, besides four guns, more than twenty mnchlno (tuns and much other booty. The total captures announced by the Rumanians Mnco the Bavarians began to retreat west of the Jlu a week ao amount to nearly .1,000 prisoners, several batteries and fifty machine suns, besides other Btores, XM OffrnaUp Looked For. A new Rumanian cffcnelve on the western -Moldavian frontier, the frontier of the Carpathians, northeast of the Trsnsylvnnlan Alps frontier, where the hottest lighting has gone on lately, is ex pected here. Berlin reports to-day that on tho north ni pait of this front fight ing wan more nctlve, "but thus far with out Important Infantry engagements." Hungarian troops nro reported to have been drawn from the Transylvnnlnn front to the Carso by the hl-r Italian offcnolve. which has thus attalne-J one of Its main objects, weakening the Moldavian fron tier forces. The position there Is fa orabIo for Rumanian-Russian attacks In concert. Besides conveying the Intimation that such an attack la expected to-day's Ger man statement concedes the loss of Mount Rosea, which the Rumanians an nounced they had stormed some days go. The only news of the Dobrudja Is In the Rumanian statement, which eays there were "light skirmishes," probably the prcludo to n general engagement. The Tluchiirrat Report, The Rumanian statement says: Northern and northwestern fronts: On tho western Moldavian frontier the situation Is unchanged. West of the liuzau stream we ad vanced nnd captured some war ma terial. At Table Until we advanced In a northerly direction In tho valley of Teloajen nnd took threo otllcers and 104 men prisoners and captured two machine gun. The situation at Predelus Is un changed.

To-night French troops are holding what remains of the houses In the west ern part of tin- village. South of the village, the tio who occupied Fort i Vaux after the ficrmnn had been forced to evacuate it, are pushing forward and will soon be attacking Vaux village from the south.

To-day'H British statement glws an explanation of the larger number of al lied aeroplanes thnt have been brought down recently; to-day, for Instance, Berlin reports taking nine. The west winds prevailing blow the Allied ma chines far over the Herman front, and make It hard for them to return If pur sued. The following account of the evacua tion of Fort Vaux at Verdun by the Hermans, as seen by the French, Is part or n Paris despatrli which says the French artillery critics think they are now nvenged on the Herman heavy mor tars 'The heavy callbte rrrneh guns nt Verdun began concentrating their lire upon Fort Vaux on October 24, grad. ually Increasing their intensity, hour after hour, until at the end of the ISOth hour or.o of the Herman magazine blew up. The great projectiles then began searching out other ammunition debits. Ono French 10 Inch shell, weighing a ton, struck a magazine filled with hand grenades on All Saints' Day. Many thousands of grenades exploded, earning the earth to tremble. I'xploalon Halted Oeeiipnlloii, "The Hermans holding tho fort. It Is reported, seemingly nbandnned It by way of n tunnel. When tho French became aware that the fort was empty they did nut attempt to occupy it until some hours after the Hermans had left. After the French hombaidmcnt ceased explosions occurred Inside the fortlflcatlona anil con tinued at Irregular Intervals for sovenil hours." Tho British statement to-day says: Italn fell heavily during tho night. Wo successfully raided the enemy's lines northeast of Armcntiercs (near the Belgian frontier). A strong enemy partly entered our trenches near Culnchy, but was Im mediately expelled. An enemy counter attack east of Hueudecourt (In the Homme sector) yesterday suffered very heavy losses In proportion to its strength. Over 100 dead have been counted. Thirty pris oners and four machine guns were captured by us, The British statement to-night says' South of the Ancie the situation is unchanged. There was considerable hostile shelling mound Lesbueuf and against the Destrcmont farm ami Le Sars. During tho day we bombarded tho enemy's line north of Ui Hassen Canal and in tho neighborhood of Hols Hiculcr and Messlnes, Fncmy nitll lery and trench mortars wen active north nnd south of Vprew. Our aircraft successfully bombed many enemy billets yesterday. One of our machines attacked ami destroyed a hntllfl airplane, hit twita attacked and fell Inside tho enemy's, lines, Four other machines fulled to return. The strong westerly winds during the past three weeks have initiln our aerial operations illlllctilt, since they drift our machines far over tho en emy'H front and compel them to return slowly against the head wind. The Herman statement sayu: Army flroup of Crown' Prince Rup- prccht Hostile attack were preceded by violent artillery duels.
