Reds Mass On Frontier Of Rumania Soviet Official News Agency Disclosed No Satisfactory Advance Notice Given of Ger many's Sending of Troops. (P.y The Associated Press.) A sharp split in Berlin-Moscow "mutual infot mation" contacts was indicated today as Russia sped the massing of Rod army troops on the frontier of Rumania, now overrun with German soldiers. Without conl irmation elsewhere, Reuters (British news agency) said in a dispatch from Uucharost that Soviet troops have VfVeady advanced into the Danube river delta of Ru mania. If true. Russia would appear to be challenging Germany's sell-elected guardianship of Rumania. The Soviet government, through its official news agency, disclosed that it had not received what it re garded as satisfactory advance notice of Germany's plan to send troops into the rich Balkan oil kingdom in southeast Europe. The news agency Taas officially denied a report published in a news paper in German-controlled Den mark that "the Soviet government was timely informed that German troops would be sent into Rumania and that the Kremlin was informed of the aims and numbers of troops sent to Rumania." This was the first open intimation of a possible schism between Ger many and Russia, although foreign observers long have said tiulti mately their professed friendship would dissolve and they would fight the "real battle of Europe." Soviet Russia was estimated today to have mobilized between 10 and 12 divisions—from 160.000 to 180.001) men—on her frontier with Rumania. The Soviet government statement was in direct contrast to an asser tion by informed Berlin spokesmen who declared on October 10 that powers friendly to the Rome-Berlin axis had been notified German troops hacl arrived in Rumania and that others were to follow. Russia's belated disclosure was all the more surprising in view of the (Continued on page two) British Claim Two Italian Vessels Sunk London. Oct. I").
