RUMANIA PREPARES
TO JOIN THE ALLIES

Paris.-It Is learned from a private
source, but from one worthy OF cred
ence, that arrangements whereby the
interests of Rumania in Berlin and
Vienna will be attended by the United
States diplomatic service have been
definitely made. This can mean but
one thing in the opinion OF the Ru-
manian Legation here-that Rumania
would prefer to wait until Russian op-
erations through Bukowina had fur
ther developed across the Carpathians.
Rumania, though ready to place
100000 troops in the fighting line i'm
medlately, is not wealthy enough to
face unmoved the prospect OF long
war. Every month that has been pass
ing has been reducing the period OF
Rumania's inevitable cooperation with
the Allies. Only cold, practical facts
have kept Rumania aloof so far.
