The Times correspondent in the Balkan Peninsula said in Wednesday's
paper that attention in Roumania is centred on the approaching Anetro-German invasion of Serbia. The fresh forces being concentrated along the Danube are of good quality and well equipped. Some of the German regiments of infantry and cavalry belong to the first line, and some of the best Hungarian troops will also take part in the invasion. It is estimated that the German contingent will number two hundred thousand. Grave consequences depend upon this campaign—for example, the security of the Roumanian corn. munications with Salonika and the Mediterranean, and the ability of Roumania to import munitions of war. In these circumstances it is recognized by Roumanians that an early arrangement with Bulgaria is desirable. A message to the Morning Post of Friday, however, leads ns to believe that the new invasion of Serbia may, after all, be postponed.
