comes inform that We must give up our present
quarters 10 make room Tor Prince Charles OF Rouma.
MIA. who has now been made commander-in chief OF
the entire Russo Roumanian army before Pievna
This arrangement is by no means paalable to the
Russians here. General Zorton Is to be the Princes
chief Of staff The appointment Of Prince Charles Is
naturally affair OF courtesy, for tho
reason that it is impossible, according to
the laws of nature, for ruling prince
to receive orders from ordinary mortal
general; but the new commanders influence will, of
course. DC purely nominal General Zorton and HIS
chief Colonel NovnzsSy, Will still retain tho execu-
tive command. The Roumanian div sions now occupy
positions The Russian right, with their base on
