The Bing of Rumania re-entered Bucharest last Sunday week. British

and French troops formed part of his escort. Not only has Rumania been liberated from the erfemy, but the four million Rumanians across the mountains in Transylvania have repudiated their Hungarian oppressors. Count Karolyi, the temporary Hun- garian dictator, proposed to regard Transylvania as a sister-State permanently allied to Hungary. The Rumanians of Transylvania replied that they would have nothing to do with Hungary, and de- fined the territory which they meant to hold. Rumanian troops have crossed the Carpathians, and the formal reunion of the two sections of the Rumanian nation, including also Bukovina, will be effected in"due course. The -Hungarian Government tried by main force to prevent the Slovaks from joining the Czechs of Bohemia and Moravia, but had to desist at the orders of the Allied commander, General Franchet d'Esperey.
