'" " -in,, Do N mm H9VK Ofl HARRISBURG IWIM TELEGRAPH LXXXV— No. 280 14 PAGES TWO FLANKING MOVEMENTS ON RUMANIAN FRONT One by Russians to Save King Ferdinand's Armies and Capital TEUTONS MAKE OTHER Try to Force Evacuation of Bucharest and Cut Off Defenders Indications point to the probability that two flanking operations on a large scale are in progress on the Ru manian front. The one apparently is intended by the Russians to save King Ferdinand's armies and possibly his capital, and the other by the Teu tonic allies to force the evacuation of Bucharest and cut off the troops de fending it. Having assembled what seems to he a huge force along the range of the lower Carpathians, the Russians are pressing a great offensive on a front approximately 250 miles running along the western frontier of the Rumanian province of Moldavia and extending northwest along the Bukowina bor der. Already they are declared to have scored such successes as to lead to expectations that the supply lines of General Von Falkenhayn's armies in vading Rumania from the north may shortly be seriously menaced. The threat to the Rumanians conies from Field Marshall Von Mackensen on the southeast. Controlling virtual ly the entire cojrse of the Danube as far as Tchernavoda, as they do, the Teutonic allies, it has been pointed out, seemed likely to attempt throw ing forces across it at points further and further east, to outflank each line taken up by the Rumanians as they retired under the pressure of Von Fal kenhayn's forces from the north and west, and such of Von Mackensen's troops as were already on the north bank of the river Try to Hem In Rumanians Entente commentators point out that such a move may now have been effected, taking the mention by Petro grad that hostile patrols have appear ed near Lake Griaka as Indicated that a new crossing has been made by Von Mackensen near Oltenitsa, southeast of Bucharest, except to the northeast and If carried far enough would alto gether cut off their retreat. The crisis in Greece seems to have passed for the present with the an nouncement from Athens that King Constantino has agreed to give up the artillery demanded by the entente and that the allied forces which were land ed are being withdrawn, an armistice having been arranged! Before this panic has reigned in Athens with an exchange of tire between Greeks and entente marines.

This was "Uncle Joe" Cannon's characterization of the President last night as he slopped off in Pittsburgh en route from Danville, 111., to Wash ington.
