in Trentino
By ED L. KEEN
LONDON, Juno ,28. Interest In the
'expected grand offensive of tho Allies
shifted temporarily today to the situa
tion in the Balkans, with tho revival
of reports that Rumania is preparing
to join the Allies.'
A heavily censored Bucharest dis
patch, telegraphed via Athens, reported
.that Bulgaria had closed her frontier
against Rumania. Bulgarian troops
vere 'reported to be . concentrating
long tho Rumanian frontier, on the
Danube.
The Evening News received a
Bucharest dispatch reporting that .the
Bumanian Cabinet, at a special ses
sion, took pertain stop3 as a result cf
Bulgaria's movement- .Rumanian mili
tary chiefs participated in the Cabinet
conference.
Vienna reports received at Amster-
dlara gave further explanation, for Bul
garia's warlike moves against Ru
mania, The BulgarB, VJennareported,
are uneasy because Greece -yielded to
the demands of the Allies. They fear
not only that ex-Premier Yenizejos will
return to power, swinging Greece to
the. side of the Allies, but that both
the Rumanian and Greek armies may
turn against Bulgaria, invading from
opposite sides while the Austrb-Ger-wans
are busy op other 'fronts.
Rome reports fresh .successes in the
Italian offensive: against the Austrlans
in Trentino. The Austrians have been
dislodged from every important posi
tion they occupied in Italian territory,
and General Cadorna'a forces push, to
ward! the enemy positions in Val
i Sugana. Heavy guns are in action
along the IsonzQ front,
Berlin dispatches today laid heavy
emphasis on the continued. bombard
nent of German lines dpposite the
British frpnt. The cannonade, Berjin,
believes, is a systematic attempt to
'Wreck German defensive works in
preparation for a great infantry onslaught.
Correspondents in. Switzerland re
ported today that the successes of Rus?
aa and Italian offensives are. causing
jN greatest consternation in Vienna.
The Austrians are- clamorlpg far the
