ANXIOUS
TO GET INTO THE WAR
By Joining Allies Hopes to Ac-
quire a Couple Of Prov
inces from Austria

Bucharest, Oct. 27.-(By mail to New
York. )-Rumania is fairly wild to get
into the war
1t seems certain that in the end it
will do so. The royal family opposes it.
1t might not do so if popular opinion
favored Germany, fer Rumanian royal
ty is strongly pro-German.
The people, however, are for Russia.
This is partly owing to the two coun-
tries racial relationship. 1t is also
for thBmore material reason that the
Rumanians want to acquire the Aus
trian provinces Of Tranyslvania and Bu-
koVina.
If Rumania was om Germany's side
which is out of the question in any
event, on account of its Russian sym
pathies-it naturally could not get this
territory, Austria being the Germans
ally.
1t is not entirely certain that it can
get them both from Russia, either. The
czar presumably would have no obiec.
tion to seeing Transylvania Rumanian-
lied, but he has already pretty efiec-
tually conquered Bukovina, and may
want to keep it for himself.
This undoubtedly explains why Ru-
mania has kept out of the war so long,
The people don 7 take into considera-
tion the fact that any material advan-
tage may be gaineo by waiting, and are
very impatient. Rumanian diplomats,
however, are anxious to wait until some
very critical stage for the allies, and
especially foG Russia, is reached. They
figure that they can drive better bar
gain as such time.
