R0UMANIA WILL JOIN ALLIES?
Report In Rome That She Ras Practi-
calIy Decided on Course.

ROME, ITALY. - Roumania has
been greatly impressed by the Russian
victories and has practically decided
TO join the allies. She has also been
tempted by an offer of trasylvania,
which runs south and east of Rou-
mania. and Is separated from that
country by the Carpathian mountains.
The car declared a short time ago
that Russia did not desire any new
territory as a result of the war, but
there would be readjustments OF the
map according to racial affiliations.
Pennsylvania, which is integral part
of Hungary, has a population OF
100000 Of whom l 100000 are Rou-
manians and under the cars declara.
ten Roumania would acquire that
country.
The kaiser is furious over the de-
cision of the Roumanians and has re-
called the German envoy at Bucharest.
