Hence, Turkish and Bulgarian treops are being se- cretly concentrated on the Rou- manijan frontier along the Danube, while Austrian and German forces are concentrated in Transylvania. When the concentration is con- cluded Germany is expected to de- mand dormal Wsswipnces of Rou- mania's neutrality, besides insisting, on the demobilization of the Rou- manian army. She will probably re- sort to the occupation of Roumanian frontier provinces, with the promise -40 restore them after the war. Meanwhile, Germany is striving to!" provoke a Cabinet crisis in Roumania with the object of having the pro-! German ex-Premiers, Carp and Marchiloman, replace the present Government, which is suspected of! being favorable to the Allies. Once Roumania'y neutrality is assured! Greece's intervention will be impos-! sible, and thus the Germans will be enabled to neglect Salonica apd con- tinue in their hold on the Balkans and exploit Roumania as they do Bul. aria and Turkey" From the latter country they have already taken all copper they and other minerals, be- sides depleting the Turkish provin- ces of foodstuffs. > Up To Russia. The neutralization of Roumania would be a most important success for the Teutopic allies, both from a military and economic standpoint, therefore this neutrhlization will be attempted unless the Russians are sulliciently strong to rush help to Roumania. The Kaiser's special em- issary, Baron von Dem-Busche-Had- denhausen, hag started a , vigorous publicity campaign, the predoniitant! note of which may be summed up in the threat: "I Roumania does not join the Central powers shortly she will suffer for it. The Teutonic em- pires know how to strike fast at the! decisive- moment.' Thug far, however, the Teutonic propaganda seems to have made lit- tle or no impression on Roumania.| Meanwhile the Austrian and Bulgar-| ian invading armies in Albania, the latter Avlona, have not made any substantial headway toward actual | attacks on the Adriatic seaports. -At| Splontka allied reinforcements con- 'gestive organs can never do the work | ments of a man whose name will eves properly until they are strong en-! stand high among thos® '6f. the pion- [ough to do it themselves.
