Flanking Movements Reported On Romanian Front
Indications point to two large flanking operations under way on the Romanian front. Russians press an offensive along 2506 miles from the lower Carpathians to Bukovina, threatening supply lines to Falkenhayn’s forces.

B. von Donop is replaced as master general of ordnance by Major General William T. Farqs. Rumor of cabinet changes and a smaller war council circulates amid talks with the king. A Serbian attack near Grunishte in Macedonia was repulsed by the French.
