German progress in Rumania is still checked. In the middle

of last week the Rumanians surrounded a height near the Casin Valley and took a large number of prisoners and four machine guns. It is true that the Germans have captured the Fundeni bridgehead, twenty-five miles from the junction of the Sereth and the Danube— a reversion from turning movements to a frontal attack—but they have not crossed the Sereth. Galatz is therefore still held, though still threatened. Meanwhile the Bulgarians have received a blow in the Danube delta. In a mist they sent a battalion across an arm of the river near Tultcha. The Russians captured five officers and three hundred and thirty-two men. The Germans cannot afford these delays. The Rumanian Army will have time to recover.
