ROUMANIA MAY BE ABANDONED.
....... LONDON, January i . The Germans advanced slowly at Fochani,' and pressed back the Russians, the latter. appare*iniy successfully extricating their right wing from General Falkenhan's encircling manoeuvres. . Colonel Feyler. writes that it now seems clear that the Sereth line must perforce; be- -. abandoned. Stubborn rearguard actions .are likely, with the view of covering, the evacuation of i Galatz, which is scarcely tenable now that Braila ha® gone. , Colonel Feylar anticipates steady' [fighting during the retreat across! Moldavia to the Truth line of dofence. ■ ■ This will imply the surrender of the whole of Iloumania, but also a, still fui-ther' elongation of the Ger-man-Bulgar lines of communication, \ and a corresponding drain on their resources of men.
