J of the entire Roumanian defensive was
feared. What London la most anxious

bold move 'sought to envelop, can. es
t cape the Jaws of the German visa and
'successfully evade crushing from the
J north and south pressure. ' With

I FALL OF BUCHAREST AT
:. EARLY DATE PREDICTED
BY STUDENTS OF WAR
.- London, Nov. 22. (I. N. B.) Crai
,. , vital nerve of tha atrateglo rail
way net of western Roumanla, fell to
taa army of General von Felkenhayn
.yesterday.
- At Craiova, tha Teutons stand 120
miles due west of Bucharest. In con
trol of four of the most Important
: i railroads of communication their head
Jong advanoe toward the heart of tha
kingdom continues swifter than ever.
'That advanca holds the menace of
- striking tha greatest strategical blow
of tha war. It threatens th bulk of
,,the Roumanian army stilt battling
south of tha Transylvanian Alps, and
particularly tha forces around Orsova
near tha "Iron Gate," with being com
pletely cut off from all avenues of es-
caps.
I- - Bonmanlans In XJlra Straits.
J For those sorely shattered forces, a
, last desperate stand In an open battle
against, overwhelming odds In num
bers of men and guna or surrender
: -are tha only alternatives unless a mlr-acU-
happens. The whole fighting in
northwestern Roumanla, as the result
ot tha Teuton gash in Wallachia, has
assumed the character of a race for
the railways.

a belated one, for in another paragraph
It placed the retreating Roumanians In
the region of Filllash. That Point la
40 miles northwest of Craiova. A few
hours after - receipt of the Russian
statement, Berlin officially announced
Craiova's fall.
"On the Alt river," , said the Ger
man war office In. an earlier official
report from Berlin,: "some important
towns and intrenched heights Were
captured by us from the Rounmanlans

still grappling for every inch of
ground In the vain hope of turning
the tide of battle.
Wallachia Seems Doomed.
With Craiova captured! the complete
overrunning of Wallachia, the south
western part of Roumanla, Is partly
accomplished. The fate of Roumanla
is being decided In a aeries of huge
battles whose scene is one of the
most fertile regions of Europe.
One hundred million bushels of
wheat and 120,000,000 bushels of
maize are produced annually by the
fields now overrun by tha Teuton
steam roller. Nearly $60,000,000
worth of cereals are exported annu
ally from the yield of the Wallachian
plain now for the most part In Teu
ton; hands.
Inestimable resources of petroleum,
sorely needed by the central powers
are among its natural wealth the
wealth for which up to four months
ago, the central empires courted Rou
manian neutrality. Sheep, horses and
swine In untold numbers also are
among Wallachla's natural aasets,
which also Include tremendous oil
assets.
German Advance Hajrid.
' The official reports Indicate that
Falkenhayn advanced (0 miles in five
days, since November 16, making 13
miles a day. At the same rate he
would reach Bucharest within eight
days. Military critics point out, how
ever, that now that the low lands of
Wallachia have been reached and the
Craiova-Bucharest railway is at their
disposal, Falkenhayn's troops may be
expected to be at the gates of the
Roumanian capital by the end of tha
week.

The Serbians In particular, heart
ened by the occupation of the ancient
city of Monastlri are pressing on ir
resistibly to tha north, forcing back
tha Teutonic line toward Prllep. An
enormous store of suplies and military
impediments abandoned by the Teu
tons in the flight, has been captured.
No estimate of its value is yet ob
tainable, but fragmentary advices say
it Included a big store of food, rail
way rolling stock and engineering ma

value to General Sarrall's forces
The French war office statement
