HUNGARY HARD HIT.
Col. RepinxtOn Sees Dimcult Task
Ahead for Hindrnburg.

49,,
LONDON, Sept. Col. Repington. the
military expert OF the Times. Endorses
Rumania's advance into Transylvania
as more In c~onsonance with the general
interests of the Allies han an attack on
Bulgaria would ave been.
''The effect Of Rumanis's attack he
says, has been t. place her armies in
possession Of the chief rail heads which
Austria meant to use when she was able
to attack. The Rumanians have seized
all the places where the Austrian troOps
were to be detrained as well as many
tunnels and bridges. and Rumania can
use all these advantages to the profit OF
her own offensive IL 1t suits her to con-
tinue IL.
"Rumania Is always in a position to
deprive Austria OF the use OF these
bridges and tunnel by the use of dyna-
mite. The approach OF winter will also
cause the operations on this part OF the
frontier to be most difficult for armies
deprived of their railways.
THE Austrian abandonment OF the
extreme Transylvanian frontier Shortens
the Austrian line by $50 miles. 1t is an
open question whether the Austrians or
the Rumanians will profit most thereby.
The withdrawal implies that the greater
part OF Pennsylvania. with it's natural
resources. its largely Rumanian popula-
ton and it's railways, will be abandoned.
As such a course would be anathema to
Count Tissa and his friends they will
make themselves very unpleasant to
Field Marshal o H~indenburg and
Others unless Bulgarian troops are set
free from other fronts 10 reconquer the
lost border provinces. Such reinforce
ments can be drawn only from the Rus
sian and Italian fronts, and Gen. Bru-
silof and Count Cadorna will prevent
that II they can. or take advantage Of

Avoid General Election.
AMSTERDAM. via London, Sept. THE
Tde0tsche RundschaW announces that
the German Government has decided that
there shall be no general election during
the war.
The Reichstas. on reassembling. the
newspaper adds. will pass a Measure
prolonging Its life until next January.
The wording OF the above despatch
suggests that these steps may have been
taken because Of a German belief that
the war will end before next January.
The Kaiser was quoted only a few days
ago an telling his troops that there would
be no winter campaign.
Avoiding a general election during the
war would prevent the German peace
party from showing Its strength. and
would also prevent a popular vote on
any peace terms that might he proposed.
Prolonging the life Of the Reichstag until
January would create a situation In
which this Reichstag only would pass
upon peace terms without an election or
referendum.
