LONDON, Nov. 21.-Another Russian
offensive along the line from Constan-

today agreed this was the only step

Wallachian frontier of Roumania-a
pressure which II Is now admitted con-

where else in the Balkan campaign to

peared almost certain today that COM
plete evacuation of the western part of
Roumania would be necessary to save
the Roumanian army. This diversion,
it is admitted. can best be made by the
Russians, because of the ease of trans
porting re-enforcements via the Black
Sea.

An Amsterdam dispatch today
quotes Major Moraht, the Berlin
Tageblatt's military expert, as not ad-
hitting the "great strategical i'm.

pleasant, but the allies real success
was political-because the Serbians
retook the city, Monastir can't help
Roumania."

Vossische Zeitung as characterizing
Monastir's loss as "regrettable."
