If the news from the South Balkans is good, that

from the North is bad. We regret to record that the Germans are making rapid progress south-east of the Carpathians, and that the waves of invasion, so far from being stayed, are overflowing the dykes. Thursday's news shows that not only was the important city of Craiova occupied by the Germans on Tuesday, but, what is a great deal worse—cities can be taken and retaken—that the Rumanian army on the Cerna has been placed in a very perilous position by the German push.
