How the Rumanian armies lost an op-
portunity Of annihilating the German
and Bulgarian ARMIES in the Dobrudja in
1916 is revealed H. a confidential docu-
mcnt which has Just reached the Asso-
riatod Press from an authoritative
source in Rumania.
The document contains an account of a
conversation between Field Marshal Won
Mackensen and the Rumanan military
leaders which occurred shortly after the
Rumanian peace treaties We're signed.
Won MaCkensen declared that the failure
Of the Rumanians to press their advan-
tage in 1916 changed the whole course
Of the war. He said that his entire army
could easily have been pocketed and
compelled to surrender. and this might
have been followed by a separate peace
with Bulgaria. which would have Sepa-
rated Turkey from her allies and changed
the whole balance of power In the East
The Rumanian failure. the memoran-
dunn states. was due not to the military
leaders, but the shortsightedness of the
politicians at Bucharest.

Of four divisions and had crossed the

This Is the first time the sovere.gns
of any country ever made a fight of
such nature, although there have been
previous royal airplane flights, notably
that trip which the King of Spain made
in the early days of aviation in Wilbur
Wrght's machine.
The Chronicle learns that the two sea :
planes left Belgium Friday evening and
arrived in heNvicinity Of channel port
within about an hour. They alighted on
the water, and the royal visitors were
taken off the machines and brought to
land by a motor launch The flight was
