In the fulflment OF her promise Of

assembling two expeditions: one at
Odessa, the other at REM. near the

The heavy concentration on the Ru-
manIan frontier has been taken to IN
dictate Rumania's consent Ia the pas
sage of the Russian army across her
territory. Another indication Is the
statement that the relations between
the two countries ARE happier than
they have been for some time past"
