They, have advanced from eight to twenty-five miles against stubborn opposition. The enemy's left holds fast about Rahova, but the right has retired twenty-five miles, and the centre a little less. The Bulgarians suffered most, as they were posted1 where they were exposed to a bombardment across the Danube. Yon Mackensen has failed to hold a neck of land less than thirtyfive - miles in width, and his front is now expanding. The Rumanians, supported by Russian monitors, command the Danube.
