RUMANIA ANXIOUS
ARMY CRIPPLED BY RUSSIAN INERTIA
ENEMY PERSISTENTLY URGING PEACE
LONDON, 9th June.
The Daily Chronicle's correspondent in Rumania states that the whole of Rumania is .watching the Russian situation with the greatest anxiety. Rumania is irrevocably bound to the Allies, and any defection on Russia's part would result in a disappearance of Rumania from the comity of nations. The army is ready and eager, and awaits the signal to attack, but the indifference and inertia of her powerful neighbour paralyses its initiative, and the guns and rifles are silent everywhere.. The Germans meanwhile are continually showering leaflets advocating peace, and saying that the Rumanians are victims of French and English duplicity. German agents, disguised as Russian officers, readily cross the frontier, seeking to overthrow the Rumanian dynasty, but the Rumanian soldier refuses to be cajoled into betraying his King.
