Bucharest, Feb. 9.
News of a new defence line, the so-called Carol's Dyke, has been released to the press here for the first time.
Whole pages in today's newspapers are devoted to descriptions and illustrations of this Rumanian "Maginot Line."
The "Universul" declares that any attempt at a surprise attack will certainly fail. No tank, it claims, could pass those gigantic traps and canals, whose waters would be instantly covered with inflammable liquid.
The fortifications are said to have been executed in record time, and materialized from the slogan: "Not an irich."—Reuter.
