All the former facts were stated in writing signed by tin French officers and some times by the German officers, while Mackensen’s army just as it delayed in the old Kingdom which it only left on Nov B"' delayed also in Transylvania without defence. So the whole Roumanian army had to continue the pursuit of Mackensen’s army. By chasing the enemy the war was not ended for Roumania and the clowd of an anarchical action led on two points by common agreement begins both West and East. After the armistice the revolution having burst out in Prague, Vienna and Ruda-Pest, the republic is proclaimed.
