Russian troops and guns are help-

columns, driving the attackets back

without any great loss, But he will
And it almost impossibleto advance.
An invasion of Russia through Bes-
sarabia, is out of the question. The
whole northern frontier of the Dob-
rudja is a tangle of marshes, swamps,
lakes and islands formed by the delta
of the Danube. • The strip of land
south of the . trer from the Black
Sea to Galatz and Braila, is one of
the most desolate regions in the
world.
The only reason why the Russians
passed into the Dobrudia to aid Rou-
mania was because it affords a very
convenient route for the invasion of
Bulgaria front the north. Field Mar-
shal von • Mackensen now finds him-
self in this barren region, 'very far
from Ins base, unable to go ahead.
He cannot escape by the Black Sea,
which the Russian fleet controls, and
must either go back or attempt the
perilous crossing of the Danube on
the west.
This in times of peace would not
be an easy task for any large body of
men, on account of the natural ob-
sta.cles which the river presents.
Prom the bend at Galax to below
Silistria the western bank of the
river is skirted by marsh lands
wh.cre pontoons would be impractic-
alrle. Now that the Cernavoda bridv
is gone theee is no other ordinary
means of crossing the Danube except
by boats, and those could not pene-
trate the marshes.
