United States soldiers.
Then a body of snipers opened fire on

LQNDON, Nov. 26. Greek affairs

now commands chief attention in
Furope. Although Roumanla is bi- .
ret with difficulties somewhat alml-'

rapidly.
Whatever German efforts have been
made In Roumanla, It Is believed her.
that they have been largely offset bv
th presence of large Russian force
close to th frontier and the now rapidly
developing Russian preparations, with
Odeasa as a base, from which n.i other
Inference is possible than Us Immeill no
