LONDON. March THE drastic terms
imposed by Germany upon SRumania, II
is contended here, rot only take her
definitely out OF the war but place her
geogra phically and economically at the
mercy OF the enemy. All pretence Of no
annexations and no indemnities is openly
abandoned.
The clause requiring the ''rect!ncation
Of the rian frontier" which,
involves the LOGS to Rumania Of valuable
oil fields and the cession of the Dob
rudja. not to Bulgaria but to the Cen
trail Powers. suggests that there Is a
conflict in the Quadruple Alliance over
the division OF the booty in the spolia =
ton Of Rumania.
Premier Radoslavoff OF Bulgaria told
the Sobranje in February that !nstruc-
tions had been given to the Bulgarian
delegates TO insist upon the direct ces-
sion OF the Dobrudja to Bulga ria, At
the same time he denied that Turkey
was demanding from Bulgaria compensa-
ton for the Dobrudja.

ton by the Ukraine 10 shown In the
the right of way for their troops through
Rumania on the way to Odessa, the
Qhlef port Of the Ukraine. Germany
by these Russian and Rumanian treaties
vii! have clear route through Bulgaria
and the Dobrudja to Constanza and
across the Black Sea to Batum and the
Persian frontier.
Germany's ambition IL this direction
is clearly understood. Her commercial
intercourse with Persia and Afghanistan
via Russia is OF little Importance what
she desires is free political intrigue in
those countries against the Allies, par
tcularly in India. The Germans have
been active in those regions before and
intend TO become more active in the
future.
II is significant that Germany has
created free way for these enterprises
which Is Independent OF Turkey. This is
taken here as evidence OF a new relation
between Germany and Turkey resulting
from Gernanyis new Eastern policy.
