TACTICS OF ALLIES
Says Present Move in Balkans
Is Made To Gain
Rumania's Help
By J. w. T. Mason.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
New York, Aug. 24-To create po.
litical effect in Rumania is the main
purpose of the present activity of the
allied armies in the Balkans. There is
no possibility that the allies will de-
velop major offensive at this time
from their Greek base unless they are
assured that Rumania intends to enter
the war with them.
Without Rumania IS aid, the defeat of
the Bulgarians and the recovery of Sc.
bia by the allies would probably require
too large an expenditure of men and mu-
nitions than could profitably be divert
ed from the main fronts of the Euor-
pean conflict. Bulgaria IS army is in
excellent condition.; is flushed with it's
comparatively easy conquest of Serbian
Macedonia and has suffered but few
casualties. Fighting on the defensive
and along one front, the Bulgars could
maintain very powerful resistance
1t would be contributing Directly to
the strategy of the Bulgarians, in fact
if the allies were to begin their Balkan
offensive before Rumania had been won
from her present neutrality. Such a
