In Rumania, Russian cavalry . and infantry have been in action in a heavy ■"■j battle with .the Germans, and as, the result is .not stated the conflict '• presumably is still in progress. Lord llobert-Cecil, in the House of Commons, has intimated t'iat fresh demands are to .be made upon Greece in order,to clear up the present unsatisfactory situation.
