ODESSA: MAGNIFICENT RECOVERY BY SOVIETS
MOSCOW, Sept. 25 (Router). The position of the Odessa garrison has been greatly improved by an action in which the 13th and 15th Rumanian Infantry divisions were routed for the second time.
These troops, after an earlier mauling at the hands of the Russians, were reformed and flung against the defences in an effort on which their commanders had evidently pinned high hopes, says the "Red Star" to-day.

After a whole day of fighting, the Rumanians bróke through the Soviet lines at the cost of · several hundred dead. Undismayed, the Russians re-grouped their forces, attacked the flank of the Rumanian troops and isolated them from the main army before the breach could be exploited.
When on the other flank a surprise attack was made with the aid of Soviet naval units landed from the sea, the Rumanians broke and fled.
