EXPERTS FEAR
 FOR RUMAN|A
GET NO NEWS FROM BUCHAREST
Absence of Communication from the Rumanian Capital Lead to Fear that Rumanian Defensive May Have Collapsed.

LONDON. Nov. 24.-The latest advices received here gave the Teu- tons credit for having made great gains in southwestern Rumania, and that the German-Bulgarian troops were now before Craiova and prepar- ing to besiege the city. The com- plete silence of Bucharest is consid- cred alarming by the military ex- perts her, who deduce from this si- lence that the Rumanian defense has completely collapsed.
 The experts state that the gains by the Teutons in their invasion of Ru- mania is not material, but its great est effect will be upon the morale of the Rumanian army, which up to this time has successfully withstood the attacks of the Teutons in Northern Rumanian and in Dobrudja. The Teutonic success in the south may have the effect of weakening this de- fense and result in the Teutons com- pletely sweeping Rumania.
