SOME RESISTANCE
OFFERED IN RUMANIA TO NAZI MILITARY. DEMANDS. MUTINOUS BATTALION LODGED IN CONCENTRATION CAMP. (By Telegraph—(Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.5 a.m.) LONDON, December 16. A Rumanian battalion stationed in Transylvania, which last week refused to proceed to the Russian front, has, according to an Ankara message, been disarmed and put into a concentration camp. The Chief of Staff, of the Fifth Rumanian Infantry Division, who was captured by the Russians, said that last January Hitler summoned General Antonescu to Berlin and ordered him to send an additional 26 Rumanian divisions to the Russian front. The Rumanian Chief of the General Staff strongly opposed this, and on the demand of the German Ambassador to Rumania was dismissed. This was followed by the dismissal of a large group of Rumanian officers who had anti-German sentiments. The German Army Command put Rumanians in a dangerous salient in Russia and, at a critical moment, abandoned them to their fate.
