GREAT BATTLE IN MOLDAVIA.
GALLANT RUMANIANS.
GERMANS HELD UP.
The Times. LONDON* August 29. (Received Aug. 30, at 7.45 p.m.) Times correspondent at Jassy reports a great fortnight's battle in * Moldavia —one of the most sanguinary of the war.
The Rumanian First and Second Armies fought magnificently, making sometimes 14-counter-attacks daily. The Germans are constantly throwing in fresh troops, whereas the Rumanians have not changed during the fortnight. The whole of the Rumanian army and people are inspired by a frenzied hate of the Germans, whose present offensive aims at occupying the whole of Rumania and disposing of it like Poland.
