WEDNESDAY'S WAR NEWS Important successes for both the Teutonic and Rumanian armies are claimed in today's dispatches relative to the fighting along the Ra- manian-Transylvanian frontier. Official Berlin announces a German victory southwest of Kronstadt where Rumanian positions west of the Pre- deal road have been captured, together with ten cannon and seventeen machine guns. Southeast of Rothenthurm pass also, Gen. von Falkenhayn's troops are reported to be making progress.

Reports of the Rumanian success are unofficial, based on a Bucharest dispatch received in Rome. It declares the Austro-German forces have retired from the region of Campu- lung, in northern Rumania, pursued over the frontier by Rumanian troops which wiped out four hostile battalions. Further Russian attacks on the troops of Prince Leopold defending the approaches to Lemberg have been repulsed, Berlin declares. It records heavy losses for the Russians in five successive assaults on positions ic- cently won by the Germans on the easterly bank of the Narayuvka. On the Somme front there has been a renewal of intensive fighting.

The French again exerted pressure near the point of the entente wedge into the German lines between Sailly- Saillisel and Les Boeufs, advancing last night, according to Paris, in the vicinity of the last named place. Berlin records the failure of British attempts to advance along the mile and a half line running northwest from Les Bouefs to Gueudecourt and at Courecellette. The Germans were on the offensive at Sailley-Saillisel, but Paris reports they were defeated there in a violent engagement. In Macedonia on the Struma front, northeast of Saloniki, British troops have pushed further into the Bulgarian lines, capturing the village of Barakli-Azuma, according to Palis today. Three hundred prisoners were taken by the British.

THURSDAYS WAR NEWS Fort Vaux, one of the most important fortifications captured by the German crown prince in his prolonged drive at Verdun, has been evacuated by the Germans. The evacuation is announced in Berlin today. Shortly after Fort Douaumont had been re-taken and a wide stretch of the front in this region regained by the French in their sudden offensive movement on Oct. 25, it was pointed out that Fort Vaux likewise had been put in a perilous position. The Germans evacuated -Fort Vaux during the night, says their official without by French and after portions of the fort had been blown up the French continued to pour a heavy fire from their big guns on the fortification.

Virtually all the ground of pronounced value taken by the wirmans on tne easterly lank of the Meuse and their winter and spring offensive at Verdun has now, with the fall of Fort Vaux, been lost to them. French troops operating in the Les Boeufs and Rancourt sectors, on the Somme front, also gained ground yesterday in attacks on the German lines. Paris report of last night announcing these advances were in part confirmed by the Berlin ofiicial statement today which concedes French gains northeast of Morval and on the edge of the St. Pierre Vaast wood but declares that the main effort of the French to move forward was sanguin- arily repulsed. The British likewise say Berlin failed in an attack north of Courcelette on the Somme front.

There is no apparent let up in the presure which Gen. von Falkenhayn is exerting along the Rumanian northwestern frontier, but in general the Rumanians are reported to be holding him fairly well in ttieck. No new advances of importance are announced today by the, German war office. Field Marshal von Mackensen is believed to be making preparations for some new stroke in an cifort to complete his conquest of the Rumanian province of Dobrudja. On the Stokhod in Volhynia a Russian defeat south of Witoniez is announced by Berlin which reports the capture of more than 1,500 prisoners Ly Gen.

von Linsingen's troops in this action. FRIDAY'S WAR NEWS Fort Vaux is again in French hands and with Douaumont already regained the ring of defensive forti- fications about Verdun has been reestablished. Paris todav reports me occupation of Fort Vaux, evacuated during Wednesday night by the Germans. This movement the French official statement declares saffected without loss to the Fie. ch, who waited until the series of explosions inside the fort had ceased before they advanced, unopposed, to take possession of it.

On the Somme front Berlin admits the loss by the Germans of positions of the village of Sailley- Sillisel that they had taken from the French, but announces the repulse of British attacks east of Gueudecourt and of French advances upon the northern part of St. Pierre- Vaast wood. The Rumanian front continues the scene of hard fighting. Berlin claims further penetration of Rumanian territory southeast of Rothenthurm pass and southwest of Predeal. In Galicia the Russians attempted to regain ground recently lost in the district southeast of Lemberg along the Narayuvka, but according to the German report their attack, seven times repeated, was repulsed with exceptionally heavy casualties to them.

Little Change in the situation is indicated by the reports from the Macedonian front. Sofia announces the repulse of Serbian attacks along the Cerna river. SATURDAY'S WAR NEWS Heavy fighting continues on the battlefields of Galicia and along the Rumanian frontier, without pronounced gains for either side. In northern France the night was quiet along the French front. Berlin reports French and British attacks in the Gueude court, Les Boeufs and Courcelletle sectors, north of the Somme, which were repulsed.

The Austro-German forces have made little additional progress in their campaign against Rumania. Benin announces the recapture of a position southwest of Predeal, which the Rumanians had taken Nov. 2, but concedes the occupation by Rumanian troops of Rosca Heights, southeast of Altschanz. Petrograd reports the advance of the Rumanians in the Jiul valley is continuing. On the Russian front the Teutonic armies under Prince Leopold, of Bavaria, have taken some little additional ground from the Russians on the Narayuvka, southeast of Lemberg, in Galicia, Berlin announces.

MONDAY'S WAR NEWS Neither the British nor the French were able to retain in its entirety the ground won from the Germans on the Somme front during Saturday's fighting. Heavy counter attacks were delivered by German troops last night on the new British positions in the neighborhood of Butte de Warlancourt, south of the Albert-Bapaume railroad, and London today announced the British were compelled to give up portions of them. Similarly the French lines were attacked and Paris states that while the Germans were held off on the line between Saiiiey-Saillizel-St. Pierre-Vaast wood, they were able to recapture some positions in the wood and in 'the village of Saillisel, just to the north. After a long interval the resumption of active operations in Dob- rudja is reported from Bucharest and announces a Rumanian victory.

Rumanian troops are declared to have taken the offensive north of Hirshova and driven Field Marshal von Makensen's troops from several villages which were set on fire as they were evacuated. The steamer Lanao, a 692-ton sei last reported at Suez on October 9 on her way from French Cochin China to Havro, was sunk by a submarine on October 28, it is announced in London. Thirty men from her have been landed by the Norwegian steamer Tromp at Barry, Wales. The Lanao was an American vessel up till September, when it was sold to a Norwegian company. Berlin in a lenghty official statement today regarding the fighting on the Somme front, declares that yesterday's operation consisted' of a thrust of the most powerful character by the British and French along a twelve-mile front, but that it accomplished nothing except a small gain for the French in St.

Pierre- Vaast wood. The Germans captured about 400 prisoners and eleven machine guns. Regarding the fighting on the Rumanian frontier, Berlin reports Teutonic gains southwest of Predeal. FINK. Mrs.
