It is unlikely that Czecho-Slovakia. | Serbia, and Italy will acquiesce in Ru- i mania's demands. , ! Rumania's defiance is having far reach- ] ing effects broad, and it has revived the hopes of the Turkish insurgents in the Committee of Union and Progress. It baa similarly strengthened the resistance of Von der Goltz, who flatly declines to obey the Allied plans and evacuate thj Baltic provinces by August 20. BRITAIN RAISES BLOCKADE. LONDON, August 8.
