Shake Up Russian War office.
By Carl w. Ackerman.

Omitted Press staff correspondent.)
Berlin, Sept. 22.-Another shake-up in
the Russian war office may result from
the failure of the Russo -Rumanian cam
paign in the Dobrudja, according to re-
ports reaching here from Stockholm.
The Russians are keenly disappointed
over their failure to invade Bulgaria
Immediately after the Rumanian decla-
ration of war. The ease with which the
first Russo -Rumanian attacks were
beaten back and the fact that the Rus
slams have been on the defensive ever
since Field Marshal Mackensen took
charge of the German-B Bulgarian opera
tions, is reported to have aroused much
bitter criticism both at Petrograd and
Bucharest.
Russian critics are complaining that
the diversion of ammunition supple.
and men to the Dobrudja front halted
the Slav offensive in Galicia, without
aiding Russian plans in the Balkans
The czar's failure to approach nearer
to Lemberg has inspired further critic
ism.
