      Our further intention, the military campaign against the Russian-Romanian front to be continued south of the Dniestr to force peace in the east, after procurement of the railroad connections in Eastern Galicia and in the Bukovina, had to be abandoned. It was supposed to consist in a double attack over the upper Siret west of Galați as well as hard south of the Dniestr and go like pincers.
