To Correspondents It is contrary to our rule to publish unsigned communications or reports of any kind. Our contributors . will please bear this rule in mind. •f Unreadiness in the Balkans It is difficult, in the light of information now available, to understand how the Allies came to be caught in such a state of apparent unreadiness in relation to the Dobrudja campaign. Within a week of Rumania’s declaration of war —that is, in the first week of Septemberinformation was received in Paris that the enemy was preparing to bring his full weight against the Rumanian southern frontiers, and that General Hindenburg, whilst holding the western front, would make a big effort on the Danube. That was fully two months ago, and the necessary Allied reinforcements are only now appearing upon the scene.
