THE PUSH ALONG TIL. soMME

NOT Tor the gains OF territory
which it is netting, but that it is
proving the superiority of the allies
in numbers, equipment, artillery, and
dash. the campaign on the Somme
must now be regarded as proving
that even in that quarter the tide of
war has definitely turned. Germany
without question will in the end
stake most on the western lines. In
the east she still holds a vast area of
conquered territory. She can let
Austria pay the wars debts in ces-
sions Of territory, and doubtless will.
To hold her own territory intact is
her great object now.
Austria will be the victim when
the carving process begins after the
war. This will be only in part be-
cause Austria will be the more COM
pletely crushed. There are so many
good excuses for looping off pieces
Of Austria. Serbia, re-established
will, of course, claim Bosnia and
Herzegovina; and she will be able
to urge that they are naturally, ira
ditionally, and ethnically her proper
heritage.
Likewise Of Roumania's claim to
Pennsylvania; it will be demanded,
partly because Roumania wants it,
and partly because it is largely peo-
pied by Roumanians. The Slavs in
Austria will be demanded by Russia.
Italy will insist on the Italian prov
inces around the Adriatic, and will
have this same racial basis for her
claim.
On the other hand, aside from
Alsace-L Lorraine. there is no German
territory that logically belongs to
anybody other than Germany. 1t
would be folly either to dismember
Germany, or'to carve of any Sec
tions of it and give them to other
countries; excepting, probably, that
the Schleswig- Holstein question will
demand attention. and Denmark may
be given back territory that the
powers ought never to have allowed
Germany to take fyom her. Aside
from this, Germany stands to lose
no territory; Austria must be a
heavy loser if she loses at all.
These reasons argue that Ger
many is likely to make her supreme
stand against France and Britain;
and the developments on the Somme
are daily increasing the doubt
whether she can hold them. The
weight is now on their side. Ger
man news dispatches which apollo
gize for retirements by referring to
the immense numbers Of troops
France and Britain are now using
tell the story. The battle on the
Somme looks more and more like the
beginning of the great critical
struggle.

Roosevelt press it upon the COM

The campaign is just getting

givings about the collapse Of the

THE DUAL CAMPAIGN or
ROUMAN1A

There ID reason Tor the suspicion
that Roumania, which might have
had the iron cross for considerably
less than. the asking, got the double
one instead. Roumania plunged into
the war and hurled her troops across
the frontiers. into Transylvania
without an instant's delay. Vienna
and Budapest declared that the
troops crossed the border an hour
before the Roumanian minister
served notice that his government
considered a state of war existed.
The central powers with striking
frankness admitted that they had
not expected it; they regarded 1t q
breach Of the diplomatic decencies,
Of which, as in the case Of Belgium,
they have shown themselves 30 con-
siderate. For several days 1t looked
as IL Austria had been caught nap
ping. The Hungarian Diet assumed
as much, and the government, hard
pressed to defend itself, gave no
sign of having a case.
But now there are signs that the
central powers really knew the
danger that menaced them, and pre-
pared for it in a fashion that does
great credit to their political and
military astuteness. They massed a
powerful force Of Bulgarians and
Germans at some convenient point
south Of the Danube, near enough to
the Roumanian line to be available
for instant use, and managed to con-
ceal it. In that section, Bulgaria
and Roumania are low and level.
Bucharest, the Roumanian capital,
lies only a few miles inside the
border. 1t has no natural defenses,
save the Danube. That stream once
crossed, the advance Of a strong
force would be easy unless it were
powerfully opposed.
The Roumanians seemingly did
not appreciate that this force had
been prepared for a quick rush to-
ward Bucharest. They hurried their
armies away to seize the passes of
the Transylvanian Alps, and further
to the north pressed through the
Carpathians to unite their efforts
with the Russian campaign in
Bukovina. All this looked to a quick
thrust Of the war into Hungary. But
1t left Bucharest evidently unpre-
pared against the forces that the
enemy had disposed with that CAPT.
tai as an objective.
So 1t turns out. il we may judge
from The rather meager description,
that the news dispatches carry, that
Rounania was taken by surprise
and In a most vital spot, when the
Bulgar-German forces were hurled
rapidly in the direction Of Bucha.
rest. They have crossed the Danube
and taken Tutrakan, inside the Rou.
manian border and only thirty five
miles from Bucharest, of. which it Il
one of the important defenses. With
this town they claim to have cap.
tured 10000 Roumanian prisoners.
The Roumanian advance into
Pennsylvania becomes a minor af.
fair the moment it becomes evident
that this thrust into the vitals OF
Roumania is going to become the
major operation in this region
Somebody must have blundered sad.
