Silence of TeutOnic Genius Gets

NEW OFFENSIVE ON In WEST
Kaiser'S Attack on SOucheZ In
dicateS ReinfOrcementS.
Russia, Fearing Rumania,
Builds Trenches on Frontier.

London, July 13.-Contradictory
reports regarding the extent of the
Austro- Hungarian reverse at Krasnik,
in southern Russian Poland, con-
tinue, some even claiming that the
Austro- Hungarians are contemplating
a general retreat, but the mystery of
the situation is the persistent silence
of Field Marshal Won MackenSen. who
apparently is making no effort to re-
sumo the German advance on War
saw.
But Does He Fear?
Petrograd reasons this inaction of
the Germans as being due to the fear
of Field Marshal Won Mackensen that
his left flank would be exposed
while the Austrians were on the de-
fensive, but some fear is expressed by
London observers that the brilliant
German military commander is plan
ming an unexpected coup
The German attack on SoucheZ,
where the French advances had
threatened the town of Lille, may in
dictate the arrival on the western
front of the long expected Teutonic
reinfOrcements, but evidence still is
lacking of any concerted offensive on
either side along the battle front in
France and Belgium.
Germany and Austria Hungary, ac-
cording to dispatches to Balkan states,
are using every diplomatic resource
to induce Rumania TO join military
forces with the central powers, or at
least to preserve an attitude OF per
Inanent friendly neutrality.
Austria Tempts Rumania.
1t is reported the AustrO-FunSa-
rian minister a Bucharest has Offered
the Rumanian government liberal
territory compensation for armed as
sistance, countering Russia s offer of
TranSyIVa MIA with that of Bessa "a bia.
Her reward for friendly neutrality is
said to be Bukowina as far as the
river Pruth. From Austrian sources
comes a report that Russia is giving
substantial proof of the possibility of
Rumania's accepting one of these
Teutonic offers by building trenches
and entanglements along her Ruma-
MAN frontier.
Bulgaria and Turkey are said to
have reached a deadlock in their ne
gotiations on account of the refusal
of Sofia to do more than preserve a
friendly neutrality in return for terri
torial compensations from CONSTANT
nople.
