Despite such setbacks, the Ententist side returned to prominence in late 1918, with the defeat of Germany. On September 9, "Greerul" put out its last issue. On December 14, "Furnica" reappeared, but without Ranetti as head editor: the December 28 issue announced that he had sold his stock to Țăranu. According to the staff critic at "Gândirea", the magazine was declining, "scraping a living from localizations and adaptions, cheaply paid for and cheaply provided, with an inferior technology."
