The Bucharest War Office announc- ed in an earlier report that the Roose- Roumanians have repulsed the invad- ers "in a sanguinary manner," on the whole front, and launched several counter-attacks. The report reads: “In Dobrudja the struggle continues with obstinacy.

ONE-FOURTH TRANSYLVANIA IN ROUMANIAN HANDS A despatch from New York says: The British are manufacturing new war inventions "which would turn the Krupps green with envy," according to Dr. Benjamin Rand of Harvard University, who returned from a visit to England on the steamship Andania. Accorded privileges of inspection by the British Foreign Office, Dr. Rand sand he visited munition and ord- nance factories and saw "some as- tounding inventions," but that he was pledged not to disclose their nature. He found among every class, he said, an intense determination to do all pos- sible to win the war. In one factory ho saw 7,000 women at work, unl- formed in khaki. New factories Were being built, he said, and existing ones constantly extended. grets that his efforts to prevent such misfortunes have failed. He con- cluded his letter by sending words of comfort to the population of Venice, with a wish that peace will soon be restored.

Malcolm Ross, correspondent with the New Zealand forces on the Somme, states that the Allies fired twelve million shells in a preliminary hom- bardment on that front. "The Ger- mans," he said, "are hid in a fog caused by the smoke of the shells." RUNS ON VENICE The fighting was extraordinary fierce in the centre of the region at- tacked, around Bouchavesnes and Bois L'Abhe, and at Combles, about the Frieze farm, as well as at Ran- court. At Frieze farm two Prussian Lattalions were nearly destroyed, adds the correspondent. and a similar fate was suffered at Rancourt by three German regiments, which, advancing in four waves, made the last desper- ate effort of the day. Ninety thousand men directed per- sonally by Field Marshal Von Hinden- burg took part in attacks on the new French positions in the region of Bouchavesnes, on the Somme, accord- ing to the special correspondent in the field of Paris La Liberte. The last attack, delivered at dusk, was terminated by a series of cheeks costing the Germans three whole regi- ments. A Bavarian company belong- ing to the 11th Regiment lost 160 out of 200 men.

Germany is figuring on the fact that merchant vessels will be at a premium when peace comes, while other countries will have been so busy with other things that they will have virtually no merchandise to ship.

All the factories have been working at full time as usual, and all the goods turned out by them are be- ing stored ready for shipment after the war.
