Although the Roumanians apparently are offering deeperate re slntance west and south of Bucharest, the enemy force are rapidly closing In on their capital, and even the most optimistic military critics here now admit that this situation Is extremely critical. Advices from Berlin report that the Danube army Is already menacing tho girdle of fortresses around Ilucharest, having reached the Arge chu River, which Is only five miles from the forta. The Germans and Bulgarians also have gained ground northwest of the capital by working through the passes southeast of Campulung. Still another enemy force Is reported to have broken through and defeated the First Roumanian Army, south of Plieshtl, enabling It to capture general stall ofllcers. Tho Roumanian and Russian communiques are silent regarding this last claim, although both admit that the Roumanians, under pressure, weio compelled to retire slightly in this sec tor. Further west, In Wallachla, the Roumanians assert that adverse weather conditions are hampering their operations. It Is generally believed here that Russian pressure on Von Falken hayn's army through Transylvania has come too late to offset the rapid gains of the Germans or affect materially the German plans of encircling Bu charest. The Russians' latest success In capturing a series of heights south of Klrlibaba gives them an entering wedge Into Transylvania and proves a most encouraging counter-move on the part of the Allies. That the Russian forces, In conjunc tion with the Roumanians, are making progress in Wubrudja is indicated by the latest communications which re port that the Allies have regained part of the Tchernavoda bridge, compelling the opposing forces to retire south ward from several heights. A sig nificant feature of the move from all points In this theatro of war Is the absence of claims that either side Is taking large numbers of prisoners, which seems to Indicate the desperate character of the encounters.
