OCCUPATION DENIED.
RUSSIANS ON JTIE DELTA. “MERELY STRENGTHENING DEFENCES.” (Received This Day, 11.25 a.m.) BUCHAREST, October 16. Russian and Rumanian officials firmly denied that Soviet troops have occupied the delta of the Danube. They admitted that a thrust across the Danube would mean hostilities. Recent troop movements on the Bessarabian frontier were probably due to endeavours to complete the defences of the frontier before the heavy snows.
