Teutons Make Rapid Progress Across Fronts Says Overseas News Agency
The Overseas News Agency reports Teutonic allies making rapid progress in eastern Wallachia despite rain and bad roads. Romanian forces are squeezed into a narrow front near the Sereth river, with Humantan and nearby towns in German hands. In Dobruja the Bulgarian naval threat is driving south of Babadag as the central powers shorten their front by about 20 miles. In the west the Verdun French advance is deemed a political demonstration unlikely to alter the overall war balance.
