WEST AND EAST

STRIKING CONTRAST IN

METHODS

(Received October 24, 11.55 a.m.) NEW YORK, Oct. 23. The World publishes'a despatch from Cail yon Weigahd, who is with the Germans on the Roumanian frontier. He say.j: Yon Falkenhayn's army, \. on a front of two hundred miles in "Transylvania, is striving to tighten its grip on the mountain passes into Roumania and is advancing, in three columns through the Toerzhurger, Tomoes and Predeal passes towards Bucharest, eighty miles distant, and also through th\' Artschan pass. The German left wing, sixty-five miles north of Kronstadt is endeavoring to. cut off Russian support from the Roumanians at the Palauka pass. Falkenhayn is forcing his troops, trying to reach the eastern and southern slopes of the mountains before snow makes operations impos-,-sible. The contrast of methods with those on the west front is striking. Wiherca.3 artillery is {screened on the

west front, scores of batteries in the

Prpclenl valley are in full sight of the ' X vßonmanians, and the Roumanian lines * jTjuo also plainly visible to the Germans.
