Rounania Forced to Oui,

HE disgust felt in America and in other
allied countries over the deformed state
OF mind in Russia will not be visited upon
the Roumanians. The latter also have agreed
to an armisticc, and have quit fighting for
three months. but their position is vastly diff
ferent from that Of Russia. and thy
rather than resentment will go out to the
battle-scarred little nation.
In the first place. this is not essentially
Roumania's war. 1t did not start the war, as
did Russia. IT entered it, as did the United
States, after the most Of Europe had become
involved, and because its national interests
and perhaps its national existence depended
upon it's alignment with the allied powers.
But once engaged, Roumania made good
fight, and has stood Loyalty by the allies as
long as its principal ly-Russin--stood by
II. Even now ltoumana is willing to con-
tnue the war. and has pleaded with the Rus
slams to stand like men against q common
enemy But Russians answer was demand
that Rounania unite in armistice a de-
mand enforced by the withdrawal Of Rus
sian troops from its support. This withdrawal
would have meant the end OF Roumania as a
state, il it had undertaken to stand alone
against the Aust-o-German armies and un-
hindered by Russian resistance
AS il is the Roumanians are making the
hest terms possible in behalf Of their allies
They have demanded before accepting the
proposals made TO them that Germany and
Austria agree not TO withdraw any Of their
forces in Roumania for use ON other fronts
AS In the ease OF the Russians Germany has
declined 10 accept this condition. but has an
nonnccd that ii will negotiate with Roumania
upon il.
The loss OF another ally naturally is dis
hearlehlng 10 The enemies OF Germany, but
IL mas Tong since been understood that VIC
tory or defeat will come on the western lines
since the original Russian upheaval. there
mas been little hope in any entente capita,
that successful support could long be ex-
pectcd from either Russia Roumania BY
remaining bclligcrcnt, these countries might
have kept the German armies divided, but
that is the most that has been expected of
either.
