BUCHAREST, Roumania, Sept. g.
The effort Of Emperor Francis Joseph
to secure the support Of Roumania in
the present war has failed. The d.
plomacy Of the Russians has won. II
Rounania takes part In the present
general war il will be with Servia and
Montenegro and against Germany and
Austria.
This 10 admItted here today. And
It 10 also considered certain Bulgaria
will follow the example Of Roumania
in any future action. In fact this IS
declared already to have been ar
ranged In series Of communications
between the Roumanian and Bulgarian
foreign OFFICES. The sympathy Of the
Roumanian throne 10 entirely with
Germany and Austria. But the peo-
Pile are 80 enthusiastic over the Rus
sian victories in GaIicia and Buco-
vinia whore RoumanIa has territorial
aspirations, that any attempt to come
to the rescue Of Austria at this time
would Immediately result IN a aen-
erai revolution.
There is general feeling here that
Austria no matter what the outcome
Of the war, is certain to lose good
part Of her territory. It is also con-
sidered certain that Roumania will
receive BukovIna as her price for
either passive or active support Of
the Russian cause. This belief per-
meates all classes and as a result
every intimation Of Russian victory
is received throughout all Roumania
with demonstrations Of wild cnthus-
iasm. There has always been intense
hatred Of Austria through racial reas-
ons and this is having Its effect with
the royal family.
Bulgaria had agreed to assist Ger
many in the war. So far had the
agreement gone that German officers
had been sent to assist the Bulgarian
army which was to be commissioned
TO subdue servia. When news Of this
development reached Petrograd, the
car sent a personal aide TO see his

PARIS, Sept. 8. This city
went wild with joy this after
noon when General Gallieni in
person, announced to the wait
ing newspaper correspondents
that the entire French army is
now on the offensive. He de-
clared the Germans were re-
treating all along the line and
that the French center, about
which fears were felt because
Of the Germans attacking it,
had thrown the Germans back
with enormous losses. The
official announcement declared
the German attack had lost its
weight and that in the west,
near Paris, the combined
British French line had COM
pletely crumpled up the Ger
man right, taking thousands Of
prisoners.
Although the newspapers
left in the city were not al
lowed to publish extras, they
posted the glad tidings on
their bulletin boards and the
news quickly circulated by
word of mouth to every quar-
ter of the city. The announce
ment took a load off everyone s
