RUMANIA IS JUST WAITING
MILAN, Nov. 13—There is no
longer any probability of a min
isterial crisis in Rumania, says the
Bucharest correspondent of the Cor

strategical situation In the Balkans.

said everything indicates that
Rumania’s military aid would de
cide the Balkan war and that this
help will be offered at the most
propitious moment.
