According to dispatches from the front, the fighting between the German troops under General von Falken hayn and the Roumanian forces in the Transylvania Alps has been greatlj hampered by snow and cold weather. The snow filled defiles of the moun>

tains have rendered military operations alike difficult for both armies. Among the officers under General von Falkenhayn is Lieutenant General von Kueussl. who heads the Bavarian divisions. Von Kneussl distinguished himself in the siege and capture of Przemysl in June, 11)15, when that Austrian city was recaptured from the Russians, who had won it only twenty days before.
