Press Association—Copyright, Auscra lian and N.Z. Cable Association ( Received 8.50 a.in.) Petrograd, December 10. The Nord Sud Agency states that the defence of Wallachia from the outset was deemed of secondary importance, while that of Moldavia was regarded as absolutely essential. The Germans did not succeed in piercing the Moldavian front despite repeated efforts. The occupation of the agricultural districts of Wallachia affords the Germans hope of struggling lor some time longer with Famine, whose spectre has been driving Germany to the desire for an immediate peace. The German command, in order to obtain even that brief respite, concentrated their forces on the Balkan front to the detriment of other European fronts, thus sacrificing strategic consideration to the necessity ot revictualling.
