Germans Plan Vital
Blow in Rumania

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.-Dispatches
10 the Russian Embassy to-day indl-
Gated that the German and Austrian
forces operating in Rumania have as
their main purpose the rolling up and
development of the Russo-Rumanian
armies. The advices stated that Ger
many has withdrawn reserves from the
Western front for the operations in
Rumania, which have assumed proper
tions as great as those marking the
invasion and overrunning of Rumania
by the Germanic troops a year ago.
General Won Hindenburg personally
is directing the Austro-German ad-
vance. There are four separate at
tacking armies, the two principal ones
being under the command of General
Falkenhayn and General Koenesch, re-
spectively, Generals Krimek and ORTIZ
commanding the other two. The pres
ent Petrograd government believes the
objective OF the Germans is Jassy, the
provisional capital of the Rumanian
government. The German advance was
said 10 be over a front of 200 miles.
Russia believes strategic advantage
may be obtained by the Allies in the
West and also by Russia from the
weakening by Germany of the Western
front to press her advantages against
Russia and from the stiffening Russian
resistance. The Russians have dis
covered that a number of the fresh
German reserves have been brought TO
the East from the Alsatian front.

British Admiral
Predicts Sea Battle
Hilbert, Here, Thinks Ger
mans Will Use Fleet as
Last Resort

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Aug. 20
Rear Admiral Hugh T. HILBERT, of the
British navy, who as flag captain IN
command of the port Of Queenstown
became familiar TO Americans wneh
The Lusitania was sunk, arrived here
to-day on an armed merchantmen. he
is on a special mission for the British
Admiralty.
For many months Admiral Hilbert
was in charge of the feet of bulldogs
that stood guard outside the port OF
New York and off Cape Charles end
Cape Henry. He was recalled to Eng
land and later sent out on his present
errand.
Although he has been in active SER
vice since the beginning of the war, he
said that ne had never seen a German
submarine. As to the effectiveness OF
submarine warfare, he said that while
the situation called for unrelaxed vigil
lance and was undoubtedly serious, he
did not believe that it would ever be
effectual.
Personally" he added, 81 believe
that they have done their worst. The
natural wastage is very great, and il
does not seem possible that the Ger
mans can continue to put out SUBJ
marines at rate to keep up their
record"
He believes that the Germans will
not end the war, however, without a
great naval battle, and is of the opin-
ion that they are holding back the
navy as a last resort. 81 see by the
papers" he said, "that the Kaiser re-
