Balkan Frontier.

= BERLIN, August 4, via London. ii 3O
ANA warning that nothing can be eX-
pected from Rumania is conveyed to the
readers of the Tages Zeitung in an edi-
toriaI this morning by Count Ernest Re
ventlow. His article. which is headed
"Rumania's Failing Quotation" summar
ICES the situation in the following para
graph:
"Those friendly relations with Rumania
made sacred by tradition and-on the Ger
man side by firm confidence-can hardly
longer be considered as existing
Count Reventlow points out Rumania's
refusal to permit exports of grain or to
permit ammunition for the Turks to pass
through its territory, although Russia was
permitted to tranship munitions to Ser
bia.
Termed "Malevolent' Neutrality.
He says it had been hoped Rumania
would fulfill its treaty obligations or pre-
serve at least an upright and well-wishing
neutrality. but that the contrary came to
pass. Rumanias neutrality became ma
levolent,'' he asserts. with a tendency to
enter the conflict on the side of Germanys
enemies.
The Importance of Rumania's aid to
Germany and Turkey has been greatly
lessened however, Count Reventiow in
sists. Before Russia's Galician defeat
Rumania would have been a military
factor in cooperation with the Mus
covites, he says, but that time is past
and her military and political value
as an opponent of Germany is van
fishing. The period when Rumania
could be considered a leading factor
in the development of the Balkan
states has gone by, the article de-
clares.
