One tho Transylvania front, how ever, the Rumanians in the Jiul val- f ley, who for some time had "been hold- f ing this upper hand over the Austro- i Germans, forcing them to give ground, f have now been stopped, the Teutons , having brought up reinforcements. In j the Predeal pass region, after heavy fighting, the Rumanians also have met ' ) with a reverse, being compelled to '. retreat after long and stubborn battles. ' ' j German Troops Creek French. All along the battle line In France between the Somme and Ancre rivers ' tho Germans are tenaciously disputing i attempts by the British and French to gain further ground. Berlin says i : that in Sunday's fighting over a front f of twelve miles the British and French suffered heavy casualties and won - j nothing except a local gain in the St. " : Pierre-Vaast wood. London admits that the British were compelled to give back to the Germans ground the ; British had previously won at the Butte de Warlencourt.
