Though this is the situation on the Russian right and
in the centre, on their left wing—that is, the extreme Southern front— there comes through Austrian channels an account of a big battle. In the region of Bessarabia on the West, and of Roumania on the South, General Ivanoff is said to have made a determined attack upon the Austrians, which, according to Vienna, was unsuccessful. Upon this matter, however, the Russian com- muniguis tell us nothing, nor do they say what Russia is doing in the matter of her attack upon Bulgaria. In our opinion, this silence is by no means a proof of inactivity, but just the reverse. And that this is no mere optimistic guess on our part is proved by the evident anxiety of the Bulgarians. They clearly feel that the blow is coming, but do not know where and how to meet it.
