RoUMANIA % ENTER WAR

Rome, Sept. 21.-Entry of Rou-
mania into the European war is be-
heved imminent. The strictest cen
sorship has been established in that
country, but the report has reached
here that Germany has acknowledge
ed inability to persuade Roumania to
join with the Austrian-German forces
and that the German minister has
been recalled from Bucharest. .-..
It is believed here Roumania will
cast her lot with the aIliest because of
her chance of acquiring Transyl-
Vania, a part of Hungary which is
more than half peopled with Rou-
manians and which she has long
coveted. The Roumanian army has
been held ready for more than three
weeks and military supplies have
been requisitioned.

BROOM FACTORY FOREMAN
FACES SERIOUS CHARGES
Warrants have been taken out for
William Wright, so, foreman of
United States Broom and Brush fac
tory, on serious charges.
The warrants were taken out by
Asst Corp. Counsel George F. Reker,
who heard the stories of four girls
who told of Whites conduct toward
them. They said that he behaved in
the same indecent manner toward
the other fifty girls employed at the
factory and that they were afraid to
make any complaint for fear Of losing
their jobs.
viii Boyer, secretary of the Inter
national Broom and Whisk Makers
Union, has been assisting the girls In
their strike and will testify in court
that the wage they receive is from
one-third to one-half what is paid to
the other workers in the city. He
says that the reason for these con-
ditions lies in the fact that only three
out of the fifty girls employed speak
English.

character of American interests in the
canal, in which we were to have all
the rights incident to construction while

In submitting the treaty to the United

visions in this striking and. now douby
significant language: t..-
THE whole theory OF the treaty is that
the canal is to be an entirely American
canal The enormous cost of construct

alone. When constructed it Is eXclu-

AN ITALIAN UNDERTAKING.

| While our country is demanding immi-
grants so insistently that even a plan to
pick and choose among the incoming
hordes is met with the most determined
opposition, It Is interesting to observe
the countries of Europe Matching plans
| to take care of their surplus populations.
With Germany the colonization problem
Is the great problem. But perhaps Italy
feels the most pressing need in this con-
nectlon
| Italy needs a dumping ground closer,
more intimate, than America, where the
surplus Italians may work to the ad-
vantage of the mother country To gain
this needed ground Italy fought the Turk.
Perhaps the plans of Italy in Tripoli may
| he said to form the greatest reclamation
project that the world has ever known.
1t includes the digging of wells, the
building of roads and harbors, and the
planting of trees over an immense area.
About fifteen centuries ago, the country
which is now Tripol was a Roman
province of great richness. Where now is
the LibySm desert, vineyards and
orchards grew and great populations
fourished. The climate is most encour-
aging and the soil has been found to be
adapted to agriculture. What needs to
be done now, is to tie the country down.
to get these shifting sands under sod and
bound in place with the roots of trees
and plants.
Italians seem very sure of the possibili-
ties of this country, and if their expecta-
lions are realized they will have achieved
another miracle of civilization. The
Mediterranean sea will take on a new
Importance. a beautiful rolling garden
country will be opened up, with sunny
skies and blue waters, and an excellent
location for the supply of European
markets. The world will be so much
richer and happier.
For some time to come it is unlikely
that the Italian government will recon-
mend any general immigration to Tripoh.
The early steps toward making the coun-
try livable will have to he taken first or
disappointment and general setback
will ensue. But within n few years it is
likely that this emigration will begin.
It will probably mean fewer Italian gangs
coming to the labor markets of this
country. If it means a diminished immi-
grafton to this country, we shall prob
bly, be fortunate,

Frank Passera'. Right Arm Torn from
His Body.

Frank Passera, a member Of the manu-
featuring firm of Passera Brothers OF
N1lliamstown, lost his right arm Monday
afternoon as the result Of getting caught
in some shafting at the firms plant. He
escaped more serious injury. possibly
death. by the stopping Of the machinery
when the belt was thrown. Mr. Passera
was IN the polishing mill when he heard
call for help IN loading granite. He
started to go out, putting on his coat
as he passed the polishing machines.
The coat became caught and the man
was drawn into the machinery and forced
into a narrow space between the shaft
ing and the wall. He was taken to the
Barre HOSPITAL, where 1t was reported
Monday that he was doing well. He is
a middle-a ged man and has wife and
one daughter The firm employs n large
