Roumania

POPULATION'S PLIGHT. Press Association —Copyngnt. Published in "The Times." (Received 1.20 p.m.). London, August 20. The special correspondent at Roumanian headquarters cables that the situation is still very critical. The Germans have made a wonderful system of broad roads over the mountains, where even pathways were unknown before. They are forcing the Roumanian population to work sixteen hours per day, evincing the utmost brutality without consideration of age or sex. The enthusiasm of the Roumanian troops is beyond praise, and the wounded continue to fight until decimated.
