The Rumanian news continues distinctly good. Undeterred by the despairing
effort of the Germans to recall the invading armies from Transylvania by a raid into the Dobrudja, the Rumanians are pressing steadily on to their main objective—the freeing of the Rumanian population of Transylvania from the yoke of the Hungarian oppressor. While doing this they have on their right flank made a junction with th3 Russians, and on the extreme left have taken and held the point on the Danube where Rumania and Serbia and what was once the Austrian Empire met. It will, we trust, not be long before another junction is made at this point— namely, that with the Serbians—but we must not expect this happy event to come too rapidly. In the Dobrudja the Bulgarians have got possession of Silistria, but no great attention need be paid to this theatre of the war. It is disagreeable for the Rumanian towns affected, but its military significance is small. It is a local mess that can easily be cleaned up later.
