EXPERTS STILL HOLD OUT HOPES.

ALLIES' COMBINATION MAY TURN THE SCALES. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Recerved November 27, 12.10 p.m.) LONDON, November 26. The military correspondent of the "Sunday Times" says:— "The situation in Rumania turns on the basis of the fact that the enemy has not been able to detach more than 30 divisions against Rumania, and the Rumanians can outnumber their opponents by two to one, while the Russians in the north are only awaiting the right moment to strike the German invaders at their most vulnerable point." Colonel Feyler, the distinguished Swiss authority, says:— "With the frost the Russians will move again, while the Allies on the Sonimc may, if the ground is hard, compel a draft on von Falkenhayn's armies. "The Rumanians are in nowise crushed, and may hold von Falkenhayn indefinitely in front of Bucharest, thus depriving Germany of a swift triumph, the prospect of which alone tempted her into the Rumanian adventure, in order to retrieve her defeats on other fronts."
