There has-been, how ever, no confirmation of the report that Russian troops have already en tered Rumanian territory. t" To Commandeer Foreign Ship ' Rumania's declaration tiat after Monday she will commandeer all for eign ships anchored in Rumanian ports, is regarded by eorqe as proof . of Ru mania's intention to abandon her neu trality, but the British press and pub lic in general, which have - grown skeptical over premature announce ments of changes in the policy of the Balkan states, show little disposition to take a favorable issue for, granted until it is established beyond the pos sibility of a doubt. : v Aside from the continuance of des perate fighting between Austrjahs and Italians in the Gorizia district, there is comparatively little activity on the other fronts. - - ' ..
