BUCHAREST, Roumania, Oct. g.
1t was officially stated today that
Russia has offered Roumania the
Austrian province Of Bukowina and
Pennsylvania as her reward for par
ticipation in the present war on the
side Of the allies. The condition is
that the entire Roumanian army be
thrown into action Immediately and
that the Roumanians themselves con-
quer Pennsylvania, Bukowina having
already been partly occupied by the
Russians.
If Roumania participates she will
have the assistance Of the Russian
general staff. The question will be
decided at a meeting of the Grown
Council summoned to meet early next
week.
The sentiment for participation in
the war on the side of Russia is al
most universal. AS a result King Carol

thizes with Germany has been over

confined to his bed in the summer

the King will abdicate if the Crown

IN THEWAR ZONE;
What THEY MEAN
BY J. w. r. MASON,
Former European Manager of the
United Press.

NEW YORK, Oct 5.-Q1 a. M
Further necessity for strengthening
the German west battle front has un-
dOubtely caused another redistribution
of the invaders forces. Won Kluck's
original command is doubtless now
the strongest part of the entire Ger
man line, entailing corresponding
weakness elsewhere.
New western reinforcements have
come from the German center from
the left. Only an exchange Of artillery
fire has ben proceeding at the centre
for a number of days, while on the
German left the desperate attempts
to break through the Meuse frontier
defensive line have weakened. The
reason in both cases is the urgent
necessity for bolstering up the west
ern battle line. The length OF this
line. from its southern extremity be-
tween the Aisne and the Disc rivers
to the Belgian frontier is seventy
1 five miles. Properly TO defend heav-
| lily entrenched positions and to at
tempt offensive diversions as Won
Kluck has been doing, requires about
10000 men per mile. The German
western front. therefore. comprises
] 100000 men. according to standard
methods of estimating. The number
may. In fact, be nearer a million de-
pending on the strength the allies
| have been able to muster for their
advance toward Belgium.
Az opportunity for breaking
through the German weakened centre
! undoubtedly exists, but TO take advan-
tage Of it seems to be beyond the pos
sibility of modern warfare. If the
allies could detach secretly a consid-
erable part of their western army and
launch it against the German centre.
an overwhelming disaster to the Ger
mans would result Such a display
Of strategic genius of the kind that
won many victories for Napoleon
would earn for General Joffre the
marshals baton, just revived by the
French government.
The difficulties in the way are the
superiority of the German espionage
/ system and of the persistent use by the
Germans of local offensive tactics.
This local offensive is admirably ef-
fective in preventing just such a coup
as has been outlined IL the allies

ton
what is the point? It is whether a
foreign representative may refer in
print to excesses of serious nature
taking place occasionally in the coun-
try to which he is accredited?
MY reply is that in principle he
may not. but that if the local press
is constantly reminding the public it
serves. not infrequently in the most
unnecessary language, of NeXcesses of
a somewhat similar nature with which
his country has had to reproach it
self; when the authorities or power
less or do not care to put a stop to
these attacks; when they continue
in a time of unparalleled crisis, when
eight nations are at war and the 9TH
ers in a state of dangerous excite
ment, then / say, that representative
has doubly the right to direct atten-
tion to those failings of the nation
in whose midst he lives which place
IT, in one respect, on par with his
own, since by doing so he is defend
ing the latter. which is his official
duty and is also making an effort to
prevent serious mischief, which is his

Field Marshal Won Der Goltz, who origi-

bit OF information received here shows
that Germany has staked everything on
this battle. She hopes decisively to de-
feat Russia and to show that Russia is
no more a factor in this war than she
was at Manchuria. A decisive defeat

Berlin. according TO well-authenticated
information reaching here, might result
in a partial patching up Of the differ

something striking him. When he
looked up he saw the body of his cell
mate dangling from the iron frame
over the cell door. Dempsey called
for help and Captain Kane and Turn-
key Johnson rushed to the corridor
and cut down the body. The officers
found that the man was still alive and
carried him TO the patrol wagon and
he was rushed to the Delaware Hos
pital.
Lewandowsh had used his leather
belt to hang himself He had tied
the belt around his neck and then
doubled it around the cell frame. Then
he swung himself clear and his feet
struck Dempsey who was on the floor.
