Roumanians Repulse Attacks as King Flees Roumania
On the Western Front Roumanians stiffly defended their northern frontier repulsing several German Austro forces. They recaptured Livechi north of Campulung taking 300 prisoners and five machine guns. In the Alt valley they pushed the invaders back six miles and captured 900 more prisoners with arms. King Ferdinand and the court reportedly fled toward Russia from Jassy as Roumanians gain in Jiul Valley and continue to repulse Teuton attacks along the front.
