General Bandholtz to the Commission to Negotiate Peace

219. Polk from Bandholtz. My officer sent to Roumanian Headquarters quotes General Mardarescu as saying he has no instructions to retire beyond the Tisza and that he should remain there until peace is signed with the Hungarians. That he sees no necessity for liaison with this Mission which was only authorized to arrange for evacuation to the Tisza and that all questions affecting territory now occupied should be taken up with his Government. This is the very attitude anticipated in my previous reports to Ammission and strengthens the opinion expressed in my other message this date78 as regards Mission. Reported that Maniu who is a satellite of Bratiano has been appointed Roumanian Prime Minister.
