German Professor Claims
That His Country Was
Forced Into the Present War

Professor Eugen Kuehnemann, of
the University of Breslau. in an adj
dress before the Deutsche Sprachve-
rein at the public library last night,
declared that Germany maintained its
military organization purely for de-
fensive purposes and was forced into
the present war.
Professor Kuehnemann maintained
that to the very last moment EN-
peror William had worked for peace I;
that the German people were unani-
nous in their opinion that the coun-
try had been forced into the war, and
that the responsibility for the con-
fiict rests with Russia.
AS the principal cause of the war
the professor gave the inability on
the part of the other nations to be-
come accustomed to the fact that
Germany was entitled to its inde-
pendence. Pan Slavistic agitation
made 1t necessary, he stated, and that
Germany was prepared against 1t, as
we'll as against French revenge and
English jealousy" The speaker
claimed that Belgium was nothing
more than fortress for France and
England
Never at any stage, the speaker
said, had the military organization
interfered with Germany's educational
and cultural development. A victory
of Russia would mean Russia's domi-
nation in Europe, and a future battle
between Russia and England, while
Germany's victory would guarantee
peace for ages to come.

ROUMAN|A GETS
READY TO ASSIST
ALLIES IN WAR
King May Abdicate If Move
Against Germany Is
Made.

BUCHAREST, Roumania, Sept. "a.
High official circles today declared
that Roumania has now finally de-
cided to participate in the war on the
side of the allies. 1t is stated that
the new cabinet has at last succeeded
in overcoming the opposition of King
Carol, at least to the extent of agrees
ing to the mobilization of the Rou-
manian army. Orders to this effect
have been issued, and the mobiliza-
ton will take place within a week.
The military advise that Roumania
declare war and at once proceed to
the occupation of Transatlantic. The
army Is anxious to get intotaction. 1t
is in excellent shape, having kept out
of the Balkan struggle. The King,
however, has opposed Roumania sid
ing against Germany for family rea
sons. He Is a Hohenzollern, son of
the late Prince Karl of Hohenzollern-
Sigmaringen. His family interests,
even his private fortune, are entirely
German, practically all his money be-
ing invested in Germany. Reports
that he was to abdicate have been
widely circulated, and there is a
strong belief here that IL the war Of
flee carries the day he will withdraw
from Roumania.
The Roumanian field army is made
up of Eve army corps of two divisions
each, and two divisions of cavalry. A
regular division is made up of two
brigades each and the total field army
is about 100000 men. There is a Sec
ond line made up of approximately
10000 additional men. The infantry
is armed with Maennlieher magazine
rifles OF late type. The horse and
field batteries are equipped with
Krupp guns of the latest type.

BALKAN STATES
DEPEND ON ITALY
FOR CUE ON WAR
Bulgaria, Once Pro-German,
Now Believed to Be With
Allies.
nv, the United Press.

ROME. Sept. 24-That the attitude
of the Balkan States toward the pres
ent war will depend on what italy
does, is now a certainty. Italy ho'oS
the key to the situation.
Both Roumania and Greece are
waiting to take their cue from italy.
The great obstacle to a united Balkan
eonfederacy against Germany ana
Austria has been Bulgaria. the lat
ter has been inclined to sympathlze
with Germany Her armies have had
the assistance of German military
experts. The German diplomatic
methods have made favorable I'M
nression. And Germany had con-
fidently expected that Bulgaria would
eide with Turkey and in her favor II
IL became necessary. The car was
o,tick to realize this fact. He rushed
confidential agents to Bulgaria and
they at first pleaded for the absolute
neutrality of Bulgaria. Then the
car sent a personal appeal TO Prince
Boris, who is his godson, and the lat
ter has ever since thrown his infiu-
ence on the side of Russia.
Tt ia now believed that when war
comes. Bulgaria will be lined on the
side of the allies. Advices received
here today from Bucharest say the
| Roumanians are almost a unit for
narticipation in the war. The new
Roumanian cabinet is anti-German
| in its composition. Roumania wants,
however, to follow Italy's leadership.
This has been made very clear to the
Italian government. 1t has been
nointed out to Italy that If she en-
tered the war and brought in the
Balkan municipalities as her allies,
/ her every future demand must have
recognition.
Russia has, Il is understood here,
suggested TO Bulgaria that If Turkey
enters the war on the side of Ger
many, the prize for Bulgaria, If she
sides with Russia, will be Adrianople.
1t is recognized here that Turkey
cannot much longer maintain neu-
trality. The relations between Tur-
key and Greece are very strained.
Constant friction is reported, with
numerous acts of aggression on the
part of the Turks. Therefore the
necessity OF keeping the Balkan
states lined up together is fully real
lied.
The constant agitation of the Ital-
ian people for action against Austria
is having its effect The higher gov
ernment officials are now confident
Italy must act to maintain her posi-
ton as the dominant power of the
Mediterranean, and that she must
take Austria's Adriatic possessions
by the force of her own might if she
is to be real factor in deciding on
the lines for the new map of Europe.

Details of New Plan Are Announced

ernment.

LONDON, November 1.-THE govern
ment has made public the details Of a
new plan for allowances and pensions
to the dependents of soldiers and

mands made by the socialists and

be the cause Of more enlistments.
Provision Is made in the plan for
state assistance to fathers and mothers
or other dependents of unmarried men.
The scale of pensions to widows and
orphans Is considerably increased The
separation allowances will be paid for
twenty-six weeks after notification of
death.
A widow with four children will re-
ceive minimum of 20 shillings (about
S5), instead of II shillings, weekly. A
widow on remarriage will receive the
minimum gratuity of s195, instead of
$65. Total disability will carry a pen
sion of from IA shillings per week for
a single man of the lowest rank, to %
shillings for a married man with chill
