Further Advances by Germans in

lltortl. IX, Nov. 2S. Further ail-
vaneo by the Teutonic troops in Kn
manla was nnnouneed by the war oi
flco tonight. Subjoined is the state
ment: 'On the Sommc there was no ac

The capture of Ciiurslu places Field
Marshal Von Maekenseq's army ad
vancing from the Southwest only 37
ni'les from Bucharest, with a railrou 1
runnlns thence along which tho ad
vance may be pressed.
In occupying Curtea de Ames, Gen
eral Von Falkenhayn's troops appar
ently have driven the Rumanians
from the line or the Topolog and may
even have broken, near its northern
end, the line of the Argeihu, aluim
which tho Rumanians were e.vpectoil
to make a decisive stand.
Thus the semi-circle about Iluc'ia
rest and the Rumanian armies isj
gradually but steadily being drawn
closer. Substantial successes are re
ported by Itei-lin in the new opera
tions for tightening the'gi ip.
Artillery Active.
Considerable interest attaches to
the reports of artiliery activity that
continue to come from tbe Ypres, Ar
ras and Armentieres districts, toward
the northern end of the Franco-Hel-
glan front. The Ypres sector in par
ticular has been twice mentioned
within the last 2 1 hours in the Ilrit
ish reports, last night as the scene of
a British bombardment, while today
heavy German shelling of the line
north of Ypres is recorded. Recent
reports from Berlin declared that in
dications were accumulating that an
attack by the entente at some new
point along the German lines on tbe
Western front was in contemplation.
Berlin today emphasized the Ini
portanec of the German-Bulgarian
success in defeating a strong attack
by entente forces along a wide front
in the Monastlr region. Kxlreniely
heavy losses are declared to h!ive
been Suffered by the French. Ser
bians, Italians nud Russians In an
assault whi;b netted them nothing.
LONDON, Nov. 28. German j
newspapers regard the declaration of
war by the provisional government of
Knhmiki as negligible, according to
an Amsterdam dispatch to Hentcrs.
The dispatch pioles the Koclnisehc
Zeitntig ns saying :
"This government of rebellion lias
not been recognized by us. It docs
nut exist to us. and therefore its
declaration of war is nothing to lis
but a blank paner reniiiiing no reply.
Although we need not. and shall not,
take notice id' M. Vcnizclos' declar
ation, we cannot disregard it in prac
tice. The so-called army of the pro
visions! government will act agaiu-t
the Itulgniians and us, and we shall
make prisoners. The-e prisoners nre
rebels us lulls as we disregard the
declaration of war and mu-t be treat
ed as such."
The General Anzciger of I)u-el-d,,rf
-ay-:
"Vcnizclos mu-t not believe that
o-cnl!cd government and hi
franctirciirs will lie recognized by
Kiilgiiti.in or (iermanv as belliger
