mites lost an opportunity of an
Initiating the German and Bul.
garian armies in the Dubrudja in.
1916. is revealed in confidential
document which has just reached
the Associated Press from an au.
thoritative source in Rumania.
The document contains an ac-
count of q conversation between
Field Marshal Won Mackensen
and the Rumanian military lead
ers which occurred after the Ru-
manian peace treaties were Sign
ed. Won Maclkensen declared that
the failure of the Rumalians to
press their advantage In 1915
changed the whole course of the
war. He said that action by the
Rumanians. could easily have
been followed by a separate peace
with Bulgaria which would have
separated Turkey from her allies
and changed the whole balance
OF power In the east.
The RnmAnian failure, the
memorandum states, was due NOT
to the military leaders, but to the
short sightet1ness of the politia-
ans at Bucharest.

AvereaCn, commander in chief OF
