SITUATION WITH
RUMANIA IN WAR
FRANKFORT, Germany—An esti
mate of the military situation created
by the intervention of Rumania, pub
lished by the Frankfurter Zeitung,
evidently proceeded from an authori
tative source, and was typical of the
line of argument generally taken in
Germany.
Rumania’s intervention in the war,
it began, occurs at a period and in
military circumstances which unques
tionably lend to an event serious in
any case a part of its importance. Ru
mania was too prudent; she wanted
gain without risk. The Rumanian
government has thereby missed a
much more suitable opportunity for
the attack. The unity of the action
of the entente this summer could
have been complete only if its attacks
had been simultaneous. It is an ines
timable victory of German military
prowess to have presented this syn
chronizing of the offensive. The Rus
sians began their great attack in
June, the English and French dealt
their blow on the Somme in July, the
Italians attacked on the Isonzo in
August, then Sarrail followed in the
middle of the month and Rumania
now launches her military contribu
tion into the battle. We need not dis
cuss what would have happened if this
entire fusillade, distributed over three
months, had broken out within a week
against all our fronts. Rather does it
suffice us to know that we have pre
vented it. With the battle of Ver
dun the central powers began their
series of counterstrokes against the
plan of the entente, which was being
silently prepared. Thus there re
mained to our enemies only the possi
bility of strengthening the effect of
belated operations by the costly drag
ging out of those already begun. This
undoubtedly could not have been the
original intention of the entente: It
wanted to launch an avalanche. It
has not succeeded.
Nevertheless, the article continued,
the concentric pressure on all fronts
was for the moment extremely severe.
Rumania, however, it was pointed out,
was the enemy’s last trump, and the
next few weeks and months would be
decisive, for the enemy’s maximum ef
fort could not be sustained indefinite
ly. Hence, if Germany and her allies
exerted themselves to the utmost to
resist the main . attack of the late
summer of 1916, and succeeded, as
they would succeed, they would have
finally decided the war in their favor.
Viewed in this light, the intervention
of Rumania meant liberation from a
state of uncertainty that had hamper
ed all concerned.
