GUARDING THE FRONTIER
Bands of Armed Men Are
Appearing on the Rus
sian Boundary
Roumania's Army is Being
Armed and is Under Rus
sian Influence
England's Probable Action IN
the Event of War is
Discussed

VIENNA, April 2O-Armed bands are
appearing in the Dobrudja. They appear
to be Russians and refugee Bulgarians,
and they hover about the Russian
frontier The Roumanian government is
evidently friendly to Russia and is not in
terfering with them, and the Roumanian
newspapers are publishing severe attacks
upon Prince Ferdinand's government.
The Roumanian army is being armed
with the same weapons as the Russian,
and the Russian officers are permitted
freely to inspect the troops and fortresSes.
The new ministry is strongly philo- Rus
sian and has entirely overturned the
policy of General Lano, the late premier.
Russian influences prevail in every de-
partment of the government, and it is
reported that treaty is being negotiated
between Russia and Roumania, similar to
that with France. This would place at
the disposal of the Russians nearly 3OO,-
600 Roumanian troops and a small but
effective fleet, the ROumanian army being
more than double that Of Bulgaria.
BERLIN, April 20-The position of Eng

ment would probably not interfere unless

stated that RuSsia's finances are in good
