a result of the conference it is be

LONDON, Dec. 7.—The political
crisis overshadows all else even in

OVER ONE MILLION 1
ROUMANIANS TAKEN
PRISONER SO FAR
International News Service.
j LONDON, Dec. 7.—An exchange
i telegram from Copenhagen slates
I that the German allies have captured
over one million one hundred thou
sand Roumanians sinco the entrance
of Itoumania into the war. This as
tonnding total is the equival. nt of
the standing army and reserves of the
first call which Itoumania had when
she declared war.
The trernndous drain on the man
resources of Itoumania in the short
period of fighting can only be esti
mated when it is figured that for every
prisoner taken there arc three or
four killed or wounded. This ratio
doubtless does not hold true in this
case. Roumania lack of leadership
is blamed for the loss of the enor
mous number of prisoners.
BERLIN.N Dec. 7.—It is offeially
announced that several hundred Rus
sian and Roumanian officers and ovei
len thousand men were taken prison
ers at the capture of Bucharest.
The city was evacuated before the
German circle was completed to the
northeast and by this retreat the main
portion of- the Russo-Roumanian
army was enabled to escape.
