TO THIS GREAT DEFECT
RCMAEIA'S DEFEAT ATTRIBUTED

To this great defect may be attrib-
uted Rumania's downfall. When
| Falkenhayn and Mackensen began to
invade Rumania, the tendency In en-
tente countries was to blame Ruma-
MIA for marching so readily INTO
Pennsylvania and exposing all her
weak spots to vigorous and united
enemies. 1t Is now felt. however. that
whilst her own staff helped on her
failure. IL was really due to the run
damental weakness of the entente al
lies In their lack OF one big thinking
and acting general invested with pow
ers to use entente troops of all ma
| tionalities for the common. good.
Rumania. with a total front or
seven hundred miles practically equal
to the whole Russian battle line), was
left to defend 1t with 100000 troops
of her own and $4,000 Russians: and
with such meager resources spread
over such a wide area she never had
a chance against the combined Ger
man Austrian Bulgarian Turkish Of
fensive. the more so as she entered
the war just when BrusilofY's Galic!an
offensive had been checked. She has
merely fulfilled the thankless role OF
absorbing the shock that would other
wise have fallen In full force on Bru-
siloff and to that extent she has rem
dered immense service to the entente
cause. aside from what she may be
able to do In 1917 with her reconsti-
tuted armies

Alternately Ray l.. Royce turns his

There is conflict Of opinion as to
whether Hindenburg. lettering the
march on Odessa, Will swing down to
Macedonia for the purpose OF driving
Sarrail back on Saloniki With the
junction OF the Rumanian army and
SarraiFs forces now out of the ques-
ton, the Macedonian front again be-
comes a secondary one. Operations
on either side there are very difficult
owing to the mountainous nature Of
the country and the lack OF railroads.
II strategical reasons alone are con-
sidered in the matter, IL Is felt Ger
tain that Hindenburg would leave
Macedonia alone, but Bulgaria may
demand the retaking of Monasttr
