Koumanians Play Into German Hands; Invite Destruction ' Pitcshti, Roumania. Saturday. Dec. 2 (Via Berlin and Wireless to The Associated Press Via Sayville, Dec. 7.) In another desperate attempt to ward off the attack on Bucharest, the Koumanians yesterday executed an other seemingly impossible strategic move. Their army, which had been facing troops advancing upon Bucha rest from the southwest and west, was suddenly turned squarely toward "the Danube army," in the south, thus ex posing themselves to a disastrous flank attack. The Roumanian army Which had been retreating from the northwest suddenly stopped and began an attack in a direction nearly northward, thus exposing itself to an attack in the rear by German troops marching due east- by tiernia ward. 1 The re The Captive Capitals WHAT result was that another Rou manian army, numbering about four divisions, was Ictt in a kind of cul-dc- sac almost due west of Bucharest, be tween two Oerrnan. forces and threat ened front behind by a third. The maneuver was a surprise to the Ger mans because it apparently rendered the positions of all three Roumanian armies utterly untenable , tor any length oi time and laid them all open to destruction.
