Paris, Aug. 29th-Ou the Somme as al
Verdun we are leading in the offensive
and dominating the adversary, says an
official note reviewing last week's press on
the French front. There is not a point in.
.tae general theatre of operations where
the enemy is not actually reduced to the
defensive, continues the note. Actions
which we have undertaken continue, des-
pite resistance or reaction of the enemy.
London, Aug. 29th.-An Exchange Tele-
gram despatch from the Hague says that
Germany is making preparations for the
eventual entry of Greece into the war,
which in German diplomatic circles is regard
ed as certain to take pluce. A number OF
Greeks have departed from Germany in
the last few days.
Paris, Aug. 2Sth.-The Bucharest CORES
pondent OF the "Petit journal" writes that
he is informed that Bulgaria has decided
not to declare war on Roulnania, even though
that country permits the passage through
it of Russian troops.
Berlin, Aug. 29th.-The Roumanian Min.
lister leaves this city today. He requested
a special interview with the Imperial Cham
cellor DR.. Won Bethmann Hollweg last night,
but it was promptly refused.
London, August 29th.-A despatch TO the
OdIy AN0Wb lIOW ddAS0uu0, OWltIOIldIiI
says: II learn from q high diplomatic
source in Berne that almost all the entire
Roumanian army is moving rapidly. The
Swiss frontier is closed. The closing of the
Swiss frontier obviously indicates that move
ments of the German troops are in progress
to meet the new situation created by The
entry of Roumania into the war.
Paris, August 29th.-The invasion of Hun
gary by Russians and Roumaniana, is not only
possible, says excel. Rousset, the military
critic of La Liberte, but it is imminent. Gem
eral Letchitzky, the Russian commander in
Galicia, the writer adds, holds nearly 100
kilometres (6O) miles of ridges from
the source of the two Bystritzas to-
wards Rajailows as far as Kirlibaba.
He will easily aid the Roumanians who
hardly on entering Pennsylvania will certain
~ envelop the army of General Kovess if the
latter does not retreat quickly. Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg will be unable to help
him as from the Dniester river to the Stok-
hod General Brusiloff is holding Won Hind
enburg solidly.
Rome, August 29th.-King Ferdinand of
Roumania today left Bucharest for the front
to tax command of the army, according to
the despatch from Roumanian capital.
London, Aug. 28th-The .sTimes' military
correspondent, discussing the probable next
step by Roumania, says: The strategic ST.
tuation points to a combination of Roumania
with the present Russian offensive. This
line of action will lead the Roumanian army
into Transylvania, where a majority OF the
population favour the invaders. At the
same time the passage OF the Danube, an
advance on Sofa and the breaking down of
the Bulgarian power in cooperation with the
Allied forces at Salonica, has its gattraction-
TIE Petrograd correspondent of the sMorn-
ing Post" says: Roumania's task obviously
will not be confined TO the Bulgarian front,
where q decision will be merely of secondary
consequence. Russia has already consider
able forces for use in the Balkans, composed
Of former Austro-H Hungarian subjects fu!ly
armed and offcsred partly by Austro- Hum
garians and partly by Serbians. These
forces have taken the oath OF allegiance 70
the Emperor of Russia and will fight UNDER
the Russian flag.
