RUMANTA'S ARMY, MOST FORMIDABLE OF BALKAN FORCES.

SPLENDID CAVALRY.

(BY THE MILITARY CORRESPONDENT OF THE "EVENING STANDARD"]

Rumania's is of all the Balkan armies by far the most formidable, both numeri oally and as a war-machine, although the present-day descendant of the Plevaa heroes and the Roman legionaries of old has still to prove himself in tried valour and hardihood the equal of his Serb and Bulgarian neighbours.
