BULGARIA AND RUMANIA

RUMANIA FRIENDLY TO ENTENTE.

BULGARIAN PREMIER TRUCULENT.

LONDON, January 31

Travellers report that popular indignation against M. Rado si avoir (Premier of Bulgaria) is increasing. Bulgarians are dissatisfied with their new role of maintaining Germany's communication with Constantinople. They demand a separate peace, or that German forces clear out the Allies from the Balkans. Meanwhile the Rumanian public and army are increasingly friendly towards the Allies. The German press is threatening Rumania. The Tageblatt accuses Rumania of a fictitious sale of grain to England, pointing out that Rumania's neutrality is guaranteed only by the continuous success of German arms.

M. Radoslavoff, interviewed, truculently stated that Serbia was finished, and that the Karageorgevichs (the royal family) had better return to Geneva and take up their old, irregular life. He will shortly compel Rumania to explain her attitude. CONCESSIONS FOR RUMANIA. > AN ALLEGED MISSION. PETROGRAD, January 31. M. Carp, ex-Premier of Rumania, has gone to Vienna on a confidential mission to ask Austria for territorial concessions in Bukowina and Transylvania, and to let Ati=tria understand the necessity of giving satisfaction to Rumania.
