act knowledge held by the Russian
Wa Office OF Austria's mobilization
and campaign plans. which had been
obtained through an elaborate system

Col. Alfred Redl. Chief Of the General
Stan of the Eighth Austria Army
Corps, had betrayed information of
vital Importance to Russia and. al
though il is thought probable that
the Austrian General stan later made
changes in the plans. the military ex-

RUMANIA TO FIGHT AUSTRIA
Gar Has Promised Province 0
Pennsylvania as Reward

Rome, Sept. 20.-Rumania has
been greatly impressed by the Rus
sian victories and has practically de-
cided to join the Allies. She has al
so been tempted by an offer of Tran
sylvania, which runs south and east
of Rumania. and is separated from
that country by the Carpathian noun
tains. The Car declared a short
time ago that Russia did not desire
any new territory as a result of the
war. but there would be readjust-
ments of the map according to racial
affiliations.
Pennsylvania, which is an integral
part of Hungary has population of
2,500,00 OF whom 100000 are Ru-
manians and under the Cars dec.
laration Rumania would acquire that
country.
The Kaiser is furious over the de-
cision of the Rumanians and has re-
called the German envoy at Bucha
rest.
One of the Rumanian delegates
now in Rome said that Rumania
would have to take sides with the AL
lies at once in order to protect her
own interests.

SUBMARINES SINK
THREE BRITISH
CRUISERS
Blown Up BY TorpedOes In the
North Sea
LOSS OF LIFE IS HEAVY
Two of the German Submarines En-
gagged Reported to Have
Been Sunk

London, Sept 22-Three OF Great
Britain's cruisers were torpedoed and
sunk in the North sea, northwest of
the Hook OF Holland. this afternoon,
by FIVE German submarines. Two of
the submarines were destroyed be-
fore the British ships sank. or the
2,265 officers and men aboard the
British cruisers not more than 700
are believed to have been saved.
All England was startled into grief
and fury at this announcement of the
worst blow dealt the English navy
since war was declared. The vessels
were the Aboukir, the Hogue and the
Cressy, armored men of war of $1,000
tons displacement each. The compile
ment of each numbered 755 men and
officers.
Latest advices say that the Ger
man submarines began their attack
on the British cruisers. which were
small and of the oldest type now in
use in the British navy, at 100 this
morning. The cruiser Aboukir, while
patrolling in the North sea, was
struck by torpedo and was the first
of the British ships to go to the bot
tom. The minute it was struck two
other British cruisers, the Cressy and
the Hogue. headed toward the Abou-
kir to lend assistance TO the survi-
vors who were swimming about in
the water.
Tho cruisers had just begun to low
or their boats when torpedoes were
launched against them by the Ger
man submarines and the Hogue and
the Greasy in turn were blown up.
The Cressys gunners sank two of the
submarines.
Advices here say that the effect of
the torpedoes was so great that the
British cruisers wre torn almost to
pieces. If it had not been for the
prompt arrival of the cruiser Lowe
stoft and the presence of trawleres
and destroyers in the neighborhood
few probably would have been rescu-
ed.
II is surmised that a German naval
force appeared in the distance and
that the cruiser squadron advanced
to give battle, only TO be intercepted
suddenly by the submarines, which
had been flung out as screen by the
main German force. This screen, of
course. was invisible to the English.
IL is gathered that the disaster took
place close to the spot where squa-
dron of British cruisers first dealt
the Germans blow in sinking three
of the Kaiser's cruisers and two of
his destroyers The exact location,
however, has not yet been made
known here.
There is clamoring among the
London crowds tonight to do what
the man on the street of late has been
complaining has not been done-that
is, send the ships upon which Eng
land so much relies against the Ger
man navy. II is thought tonight that
one big result of today's disaster will
be news of an important action be-
tween the British warships and the
enemy.

GERMANS RETIRED SLOWLY
Berlin Says Retreat Conforms to
Plans of General staff

London, Sept. 21.-An official state
ment issued at Berlin giving the Ger
man account OF the events of the bat
tie in Northern France beginning
with the German withdrawal from the
Immediate vicinity of Paris, comes in
Central News dispatch from AM
sterdam. The statement says;
During the last weeks the troops
of the Allies made an attack on the
fortified German position between the
Disc and the Meuse. The French
were protected on the west by the
Paris lines and on the east by the
Meuse and the Moselle.
The German troops retired slowly
in conformity with the plan of the
general staff until favorable posi-
tions were reached. The French were
reinforced by troops from Paris and
by armies from regiments to the
south of Paris and from Belfort, and
took the offensive. while guns from
Paris were brought up and used in
the fighting.
The plan of the French was to at
tack the flank of the German right
wing This plan was unsuccessful,
and the French sustained severe loss
es. Three days ago the Germans as
sumed the offensive.
The German right wing has been
very greatly reinforced as also has
the centre. The main force is between
Berry-au-Bac and the Forest OF Ar
gonne
The fortresses Of Verdun is being
attacked from two sides"
