SUBMARINES OFF AMERICA.

Apparently the Gorman danger to the Roumanians is not entirely extinct. The Roumanian army which was .so victoriously pressing onward i„ Transylvania has been obliged to shorten its front and retreat wnli a view to holding the passes leading to Komnania, IE the cres.s can bo held for a short time the gathering ot Allies to Roumanian aid - render the German menace abortive. ~ One was inclined at first to doubt stones which attributed the scattering of disease germs to the Germans. The thing seemed ro be so diabolical that we imagined nothing in the image ot man covud be gu Jty ,„f it. They seem, however, ao have specialised in bornbleness. -heir culture of disease germs must have boeu as active as in the making oi munitions, for preparation for causing glanders have been found ac .be German Legation in Bucharest. It is a pity the glass containers did not burst in Germany and scattered glanders: among the whole mlcrnal crowd engaged in the laboratories. " it is surprising that after so many evidences ot the treachery ot the King of Greece the Allies,, do not request him to pack his swag and march. Although be has pretended to comply witn the Allied demands he is always endeavouring to stab them in the back. Yesterday we were told that the British on the Somme hat passed tho high ground and >ore on the descent, which enabled the Germans to obtain a clear view of them for artillery tire. That conjured up possibilities of vast numbers of casualties. Now. however, we are told that they have reached the low 'ground and their visibility iO the fpi minis must have been' very much decreased. Brn.-iiloff’s great thrust, which commenced sc auspiciously, has ap-oar-mG-v been practically checked for the time, ami Urn enemy appears \ n have'taken the offensive, though without succ-.sv Probably the slackening of the advance may bo attributed to the necessity of detaching a considerable force to the aid ot the Roumanians. The Italian offensive is now being carried on with a pcrtjnacity u and determination more than human. Imagine a seventy-two hours attack.
