Paris, Nov. 26.--French artillery-| 'men battered down a number of Ger- man field batteries and machine-gun shelters, especially along the centre of the battle line, between the Aisne and the Somme, by sustained bom- bardments Wednesday night.

It is pretty well establish- ed that Russia has concentrated a great army near the Roymanian frontier, and despatches state that a large number of heavy guns have arrived at Odessa from Japan for its use, However, the direction in which this army will move will be dictated by the policy the Roumanian Government adopts. Berlin shows some uneasiness, but beyond that and the statement of the Roumanian premier, M. Bratiano, that the relations between Russia and Roumania were never better, there is nothing to go on Germany Fears Roumania. (Special to the Whig.) Berlin, Nov. 26.--A sharp watch is being kept on the Russians and the Roumanians.

New York, Nov 26 Heinie Schultz, late private in the German army, reached New York yesterday, a deserter and a stowaway aboard the Dutch steamer Noorderdyk. He wore a uniform which bore the earth stains of the trenches, said he had ; grown weary of the war and asked | the customs men to let him enter the United States so that he would have to fight no more. He was sent to Ellis Island, where he will be held while his case is de- cided. If he is denied admission he probably will be held indefinitely, as to deport him would result in his capture by the British: SUBSCRIPTIONS POUR IN. For the French War Loan--Now Reach Five Billion.
