Jan 7.-Rumanian reservists having
been warned to prepare for call ia

certainty throughout the country today
that the nation VIII soon be actively EN-.

There is no question that the develop.

palace, it is said there is no such OPP
position to joining the allies as existed
before the death of the late King
Charles, who was thoroughly German in
sympathy. Officialdom, aside from roy.
atty, is as strongly for participation in
the aonfliet on the allies side as are
the masses of the people.
1t cannot honestly be said that any
very bitter hatred is felt for the Teu-
tonic combination as is felt between
Germany and England, for instance
Rather, Rumanians think their country
has an opportunity to achieve an i'm.

bition which is responsible for their
desire to take a hand in the pending
conflict.

BY Ed L. Keen.

London, Jan. Precautions the
military authorities were taking to-
day indicated belief that the Ger.
mans were planning to attempt an
aerial raid on large scale soon.
Reinforcements were being sent to

crews were being strengthened. The
police had orders to enforce rigidly all

These steps followed the discovery
that Zeppelins have been cruising over
the Dover strait, escorted by armed
aeroplanes.

for information concerning air currents
and other details, preliminary to a
general attack, presumably on London.

RUSSIA'S HUNGARIAN

Development In Two Direc-

New York, Jan. Russia 5 cam.
paign against Hungary apparently is
being developed from two directions.
which probably accounts for its slow
progress thus far.
Instead OF crossing the Carpathians
from the north alone, on their way to
Budapest the Slays appear to have
undertaken double advance from the
north and east.

SLAMS and they are reported to be con.
eentrating toward the province Of
Iransylvana, which is in Budapest 3
direction.
The presumption is that the DELAY in
he general Sav S offensive is due TO
the strategic requirement that the move
ment from the north await further
progress Of this eastern movement.
The ear unquestionably has counted
on Rumania to open an eastern cam.
paIgn against Budapest but the indica
tions are that the Rumanians are too
much afraid of Bulgaria to move their
own forces away from home.
Rpmania is reaping now the result
OF It's action in compelling Bulgaria,

important part Of this campaign, the

to second place merely as protection for
the eastern army's exposed right flank.
Tne road to the Hungarian capital
from the eastward, with the Russians
holding Bnkovinn, is an easier one than
the route from the north. 1t is longer

Shanghai, Jan. 7.-Supporters here
Of President Yuan Shi Kai are openly,
though not officially, accusing the
japanese Of being behind much Of the

strong government for the Mikado to

into exile for conspiring against the
president, they have invariably been
welcomed in Japan despite the fact
that their views are such as the Jap.

cal assistance to the reyolutionist'

1915. The telegraph had not then
been invented and the sailing vessel
that bore the news Of peace could
make but slot. fresse-s The eonse-
