Bucharest despatches make no se-. cret of the fact that Roumania is lending a willing ear to the Entente offer to grant all her claims, includ- ing Bessarabia. 1' "It looks for the first time favor, able." The cause of this is a sudden marked change in Roumania's atti- tude in favor of the allies, a change which has occasioned Berlin practi- cally to despair of the hope that this Balkan State would maintain its new trality. A despatch from London says: From the allies' point of view, the Balkan situation looks more favorable than at any time since the invasion of Serbia began', or, as one military observer said frankly: Balkan Situation Is Hopeful From the Allies' Point' of View.
