CRUSHING BLOWS ARE DELIVERED [Continued From First Page] Berlin yesterday announced an en circlinK movement in progress. The Rumanians are declared to be tn flight here, while their retreat continues near Kronstadt, where King Ferdi nand's troops are fallinß back toward the frontier passes. T)rop Four Tons of Explosives Italian sains in the fighting of AVednesday on the Carso front, where General Cadorna is pushing toward Triest. are admitted by Vienna, which mentions progress for the Italians east Oppacchiazella and their capture of P*ve town of Novavas. Elsewhere, how ever, they are declared to have failed in their attempts to advance and to have lost a total of 2,700 prisoners In recent engagements. Ar air raid carried out by forty French and British machines on the Mauser works at Oberndorf, Germany, during which four tons of explosives were dropped and six German ma chines shot down as they attempted to defend the works, is announced by Paris. No Infantry action In the Somme re gion is reported by Paris to-day, but intense activity by the artillery is in evidence both north and south of the Somme. In the former region the French apparently are preparing for another drive in the regions of Morval and Bouchavesnes, while their guns are pounding the neighborhood of Chalnes, south of the river. , llrltlnh I'unh Ahrml On their end of the Somme the British advanced south of Bapaume during yes terday's fighting pushed toward the Ba paume-Peronne road in the region of Guedocourt and taking about 150 pris oners. Some activity has developed on the northern front in Russia which has been quiescent for some time. The Ger mans attacked and took a Russian trench section on the Shara river near Goldevltch, according to Petrograd, were shortly afterward driven out with heavy losses. No heavy lighting Is reported In either Volhynia or Gallcla in the Russian official bulletin. East of the Struma river in Macedonia the Brltsh apparently are making ready for a further effort against the Bulgar ian positions. Ifheir patrols have been pushing out and their armored cars have been successfully for reconnolter ing according to London. The Bulgar ians were foundi to be holding the Seres- Demlre-Hlssar Railroad in in strength. Italians Steadily Move Forward on Carso Plateau, Through Austrian Gap London, Oct. 13. Through the gap in the Austrian line Italians are moving forward steadily on the Carso plateau. From the Wippach river to the coast line they forged forward, taking 1700 prisoners more, making a total of 30,881 since August 6. Halted after the great offensive that won Gorizia, Cadorna's men seem to have opened the way for a continua tion of the drive toward Trieste. Fortifications that blocked their road for the last month have been smashed. In the operations since the Trieste thrust was reopened in August they have taken more than 30,000 prison ers. The Austrians, whose hold on the two railways to Trieste was threatened by the Italian advance over the Dob erdo plateau, built a series of strong trenches beyond. In their attack yes terday, however, Cadorna's forces crashed through the whole network and advanced beyond to a point within ten miles of Trieste. Through their gains yesterday and |ffo-day, the Italians have eliminated many obstacles to an advance east ward, both from Gorlzta and from Montfnlcone. Cadorna's strategy in the drive for Trieste seems to be the flanking of the port by a push over the Carso and so forcing the evacua tion of the city. In an effort to divert the Italians from their thrust on the Carso, the Austrians launched heavy attacks to day In the Trentino and the Tyrol. In the valley of the Vancl they opened four very heavy attacks, but these were beaten by the Italians. The interest centers to-day on the fighting along the Isonzo line. The Italians' effort here is divided into two phases: While one column Is moving toward Trieste, another is operating in the Julian Alps, where Tolmlno is the objective. The Austrian positions, extremely strong because of the mountainous country, are hampering Cadorna's drive in the northern sector. Only Single Trench Line Now Confronting British London, Oct. 13.—The objects of the British advance in France were out lined by Major General F. B. Maurice, chief director of military operations at the war office. The general emphasized as one of the principal purposes al ready gained "that the British push into the German lines has extended the fighting front by a ength of 22,000 yards so that if stationary trench fighting were resumed the Germans would have that much increased frontage to de fend." "As we get on our difficulties get less and less," he remarked, pointing out that the country thus far gained was hilly and strongly defended and that the British had: now reached the lower rolling lands. Whereas the positions captured were intricate systems of de fense, he said, the British now confront a single line of trenches. "They (the Germans) are hard at work making another line here," ho went on, indicating a line drawn on the map behind the present battle front. "When we get there they will be work ing on yet another line back here. Our work is to get ahead faster than their digging." The General discussed continuence of the British advance with confidence, as though it were an assured fact. He made it plain the British plan is to keep on hammering, even during the winter. Rumanian Armies Are Rapidly Fleeing Transylvania Before Falkenhayn's Rush London, Oct. 13. The Rumanians are still giving way before Falken hayn. Berlin announces that King Ferdinand's troops are being pursued on the whole Eastern Transylvania front An encircling attack in the Maros Valley compelled the Ruman ians to fall back from positions in that 9 region, while further north the Teu tons have advanced. The second Ru manian army has been driven back to the frontier. On the northern and southern bor aers the Rumanians are strongly en trenched and are putting up a fierce resistance, falkenhayn's forces vainly assailed the Rumanian position be tween Kelemen and Buxeu, in the north, and the lines east of Sainonl, south of Hermannstadt. On both sides of Vulcan Pass the Rumanians attempted to sweep forward to-day, but the enemy's fire hurled them back to their former lines. May Halt lt|g Drive On the main roads running south from Kronstadt the Rumanians appear to be standing firm. It is this fact which leads observers to predict that Hindenburg's gTeat project is likely to meet with a resistance never antici pated. If the Rumanians can hold the mountain passes on the south and re tain for the time being their positions FRIDAY EVENING. . HARRISBURG TOgSg TEIJEGRAFHI OCTOBER 13, 1916.

Not only are King Ferdinand's reserves being rushed into action in the threatened district, but Russian troops are being poured into Transylvania to bulwark their allies' lines. General Averesco has been relieved of tho command of the Russian forces in the Dobrudja and has taken com mand of the Czar's troops in Transyl vania, Indicating not only the import ance attached to the operations in the latter sector, but the confidence of the allied military that Mackensen has been effectively checked in tho Do brudja. Russia Has Men In Plenty The astonishing thing, in the opin ion of critics here, is that Russia cun spare men both for the Transylvania and the Macedonian operations—for reports received here to-night sny that a new contingent of Russians has been landed at Salonlki.

Trailed For Two Years, Then Shot According to Directions Over Telephone New York. Oct. 13. Michael A. Ro frano, ex-deputy street cleaning com missioner, snowed no uneasiness yes terday when testimony was given In his trial In the criminal branch of the Su preme Court accusing him of having di rected the murder, on March X, 1915, of Michael Olamurl, one of Tom Foley's po. I litical allies in the Second Assembly District. The testimony was that 110- I frano gave directions for the murder I over the telephone and that he often I f an * or over the tardiness In killing Glamarl. I Alleged details of Rofrano'i activities were given by Joseph La Salle, the Ital- I lan convict, who reeclved an alleged 1 "death sign while on the witness stand j j yesterday. La Salle and his brother I ] Antonio were convicted several months ago of the murder of James Mlnott. Sen- I tenced to prison for a minimum of twenty years, their terms were com muted to Beven and one-half years last May. I-a Salle testified to the alleged breach j between Rofrano and Foley. Rofrano's j enmity toward Oiamarl, the wltnesß j said, was because Qlamari remained I loyal to Foley. Hofrano, according to the witness, decided that the only way for him to wrest the Italian vote from Oiamarl was to have him killed. The killers trailed their victim for nearly two years, according to La Salle, before Oi amarl was flnally shot, on March 8. La Salle named a half dozen "gunmen," who, he said, knew of tho ulot to kill i and discussed it frequently with Ro ' frano. The defense says that Glamarl was killed In a gambler's feud. Much of the i ci-oss-examTnatlon by the lawyer of Ito frano, after establishing I>a Salle's al leged desire to serve the State, was di rected to laying the foundation for proving this.
