RUMANIA AND BULGARIA
MAY REACH AGREEMENT

SOFIA. Jan. 13.-Rumania apparently
has come to final decision to take action
In Transylvania, Hungary. and the cam
paign is generally expected to begin about
the middle of February.
1t is expected that the Rumanian Min
lister to Bulgaria, now at Bucharest will
return soon, bringing definite proposals
which will facilitate an understanding be-
tween the two countries. The restitution
to Bulgaria of the towns of Dobritch and
Baltlchlk and surrounding districts prob
ably will be offered.
Another cause for hesitation by Ru-
mania was uncertainty regarding Italy
The Italian occupation of Avona was
universally approved by Rumania. as it
will minimize the risks Of Rumania s
action and greatly shorten the war it is
held.
Recent Rumanian manifestations of
friendship for Italy are due to the con-
viction that Italy is preparing to act with
the Entente Powers. Should Italy, how
ever, ultimately decide to preserve her
neutrality. the resolution of Rumania will
remain unchanged .E
That all of Bukowina, including imDor-
tant routes leading to Pennsylvania is now
in Russian hands will tend to quicken
action by Rumania. The great Russian
success in Caucasia also has had a
stimulating effect

GERMAN MOVE ON SERB
BORDER REGARDED AS RUSE
Petrograd Sees Attempt to Divert
Russians From Poland.


News reaching here of a proposed ex-
pedtion of several army corps by the
Germans and Austrans against Serva Is
looked upon in Russian military circles
IS a ruse on the part of the Germans to
distract RussIa's attention from the
ments from the Russian armies in Poland.
Competent opinion inclnes TO the belief
that Germany's next great effort in the
east will be far from central Poland,
where the enemy viii continue a stub
horn defensive, varied by sectional coun-
ter attacks. The statement that Germany
is sending three corps to join the Austrl-
ans in a fresh effort to subjugate Servia
is so much advertised abroad that It is
probably untrue and is intended to induce
the Russians to divert their dispositions
or greatly increase their forces in BulIo-
wilma, where they are advancing at the
rate of about dozen miles a day toward
a junction with the Servian army.
1t is more likely that the large German
forces which are unquestionably assem-
bling inside the Austrian zone are intend
ed for new formations In the Carpathians,
preparatory to fourth attempt with all
the men Austria and Germany can spare,
to invade western Galicia.
TIE Popolo Romano. usually well in
formed about Austrian plans states that
the forthcoming AustrO-German attack
on Servia will not be in the nature of a
punitive expedition, but will aim at join
ing hands with Turkey across Servia, with
cooperation I'm Bulgaria.

AUSTRIAN ARTILLERY HALTS
CZAR'S DASH ACROSS NIDA
Column Driving at Cracow Through
South Poland Meets Repulse.

iE&+N%N<As Jan lO
The Russian column advancing on Cra-
COW through southern Poland and which
at one time reached Miechow, near the
Poland-Gallcia border, has been beaten
back in a vigorous attempt to force Lhe
Nida River. Violent artillery firing char
acterized the Russian attack, Austrian
ordnance made vigorous reply and the
engagement may be set down as a def
mite victory in the movement to protect
Cracow.
The Russians made an all day attack,
but their pontoons were destroyed time
and again by raking fire from the AUS
trlan cannon across the Nida.
On the entire southern front yester-
day forenoon hostile forces renewed
their assaults. which were efrectually
checked by Austrian artillery fire. At
various points Russian attacks collapsed
under sturdy defensive tactics of the
Austrian corps on the field
simultaneously an artillery battle took
place south of the Nistula. On this oc-
casion Austrian batteries succeeded in
getting the range of a farm and the
Russians, who had been there for some
days, were compelled 10 evacuate their
positions.
In the Carpathians serious operations
are tmpCded by the unfayorable weather.

retired nearer the Uzsok Pass,

sentatives to parley with the enemy Jan
