The new Russian offensive that
has already penetrated the Austrian
crown duchy of Bukowina Is more
than n strategic movement To relieve
the pressure upon I,ussia's allies in
the Balkans. although that is one Of

attraction of Rumania to the side Of
the Quadruplc Entente. Bukowna,
thrust like wedge against the north
western frontier of Rumania, Is not
really Austrian in sympathy. Forty
per cent. of the population Is Ruthene
and 81 per cent. Rumanian. There Is
only n small German element. Sew
enty per cent. Of the people belong
to the Greek Orthodox Church. Ger
