Terrific Momentum
Romanian prisoners told the Soviets before the ‘announcement of the armistice that the Germans had fired on their units, killing
a large number of officers and men, in a vain attempt td halt the retreat. In some sectors, prisoners said, there had been “armed clashes between retreating Romanian units and blocking German detachments.” Nothing official was announced in| Moscow regarding Romania's ca-| pitulation. The only news bearing on the subject printed in today's newspapers was a seven-line Tass dispatch from London quoting the Bucharest radio to the effect that|| Gen: Constantin “Sanatescu had formed a new government. The dispatch was printed obscurely on! the fourth page. - The army organ Red Star assert. ’” ed that Soviet columns sweeping|| south from Iasi and the Dnepr were | encircling “and destroying group after group of German and Roman-| ian troops.

The 3d army, extending its front to the Black sea, also captured Cetatea-Alba (Akkerman), at the
