GERMANS EXPECT
RUMAN|A TO WAR
Papers Permitted to Publish
News of Balkan Nations
Possible Early Action.
TROOPS CONCENTRATED
ON BULGARS' Frontier
Immediate and Definite Explanation
Demanded Of Athens and
Bucharest.

LONDON. September 16.A Copen-
hagen dispatch to the Exchange Tele-
graph Company says German news
papers were permitted yesterday to
publish sensational kilograms, intimat-
ing that Rumania's participation in the
war may be expected at any minute.
The massing of German and Austrian
troops on the Rumanian frontier has
resulted in the Balkan nation making
preparations for eventualities. A large
part of her army already has been
mobilized and reservists in other coun-
tries have been ordered home.
Cause for Animosity.
A steadfast refusal Of Rumania to
permit the transportation through her
territory by Germany of military sup
plies for Turkey is supposed to have
aroused the animosity of the central
empires.
Recent advices from Rome were to
the effect that negotiations were under
way for the formation of a new Balkan
league to be composed of Rumanla,
Serbia and Greece. Bulgaria. it was
said, was not included in the negotia-
tions because of her agreement with
Turkey by which she will obtain pos
session of territory along the Dede-
aghateh railway.
Montenegro probably would act in
accord with the other three powers, as
she already is arrayed on the side or
the allies in the war.
Bulgaria Makes Demand.
ROME. September 16.-Because of the
concentration of Greek and Rumanian
troops on the Bulgarian froontier, the
Bulgarian foreign minister has IN
structed the representatives of that
country at Athens and Bucharest to re-
quest an immediate and definite ex-
plantation, according to Sofia dispatch
to the Giornale D1talfa.
Press dispatches from Bucharest state
that the Turks already have begun TO
carry out the provisions of the Turco-
Bulgarian agreement. They have aDan-
doned the barracks at Karaghatch and
DESTROYED the forts on the right bank
of the Martha river. taking the guns
and barbed wire to the Gallipoli penfn-
sula.
To Arrange Possession.
The Bulgarian prefect at Stara Ia
CORA has gone to Adrianople to arrange
to take formal possession of the ceded
territory in the presence of the Turk
ish and Bulgarian ministers Septem-
Der Is The Turkish vail of Adrianople
has gone to Constantinople to obtain
instructions from the porte on the
same subject.
An imperial decree ratifying the
Turco- Bulgarian accord will be issued
September 26, according to Constanti-
nople advices received at Athens. The
new frontier. it is said, will be traced
by German staff officers.

Denounces CONSUMPTION.

After Mr.. Balfour had spoken the de-
bate turned on conscription. John Dill
Ion, nationalist for East Mayo, vehem-
emily denounced it. He said that Pitt
had tried it during the Napoleonic wars
with success. but it would be madness
to try the experiment again, especially
before the country was thoroughly in
formed on the matter. He declared that
for far less than Lord Northcliff had
done Irishmen had been sent to Jail; if
1t were not for Lord Northcliffe's title,
power and connection he would have
been sent to Jail long ago.
Leo George Chiozsa Money, liberal,
maintained that under the voluntary
system the country would never have
enough men and munitions to win the

had produced more pig iron than in any
month since the war started In the

tended, Germany was stronger than at

London Should Be immune.

In respect to the protection provided
against Zeppeiins London had been un-
favorably contrasted with Paris. Such
a comparison was.most unfair. Paris
was a fortified city. in fact, great
fortress. whereas London was not
fortified city None knew that better
than the Germans, and, under the rules
Of civilized warfare, London should be
immune from the attacks to which she
had been subjected. But he confidently
hoped that the efforts of the admiralty
would lead to a great diminution in the
danger which might be anticipated
from German airships.

Irish Member of Commons Bitterly
Scores Idea-Liberal Sees Defeat
Under Volunteer System.

LONDON. September 16.-The ade
quacy of the air service has been the
subject of some criticisms in the house
of commons. Arthur j. Balfour. first
lord of the admiralty, admitted that the
provisions which had been considered
sufficient at the beginning of the war
had to be materially developed. He
said. however, that the service was
now being supplemented far more rap
idly than was the danger it was Or
ganized to meet.
There had been a great strain, Mr..
Balfour continued. on the supply of
anti-aircraft guns. The development of
an aerial offensive had not been fore
seen before the war, but the naval air
service was now of great dimension.
II cannot say" Mr.. Balfour said. that
there will be a discountinuance of the
attacks on London. But no one will
suggest that such methods of terrorism
are going in the slightest degree to
shake the resolution of the British peo-
Pile"
Earlier Preparation Best.
Mr.. Balfour frankly admitted that he
was much surprised to discover, when
appointed first lord of the admiralty,
that he was responsible for the aerial
service. which had only a remote con-
nection with naval work If the gov
ernment had set to work three or four
years before the war, with full knowl-
edge of the requirements of aerial
arfare. he said, the defenses of Lon
aon undoubtedly would have been much
letter organized. but he hoped that the
O ganization was now in fair way to
L. .-one complete.
The changes already made had been
v v great, and all were in the way of

' l | | A FAVORS COALITION IN
 MEXICO

FL PASO, Oct. 11-Genera1 Villa has protested strongly against the sug' gested recognition of the Carranza government by the United States. Villa says that a coalition should be formed, comprising representatives of all the warning factions, and that un- Ger the direction of this body, an cleo ton to chose a president be held. He says that this would be the best and only way to bring about peace in Mexico, as, the people would then chose their leader, and the president would not be put in his chair by armed force. Villa positively asserts that the recognition of Carranza will not produce the much desired peace. He said that he and his adherents would fight Carranza and his followers to the end, that his troops are still able to put up a serious resistance, and that QeSplte Jne CldlLnS LII NdiIdhEd' IhS followers of Villa in other parts of Mexico are growing in number. Villa said that neither Carranza or any of the latter's commanders could defeat his army, and he further asserted that Carranza represented the money inter- ests of Mexico, and that the rich would be favored and the poor downtrodden under Carranza. Villa lfkened the rule of Mexico under Carranza to the Diaz and Huerta regimes, and claimed that no lasting peace could be se- cured with such man at the head of affairs.

TANANA WOMAN MEETS DEATH
 BY DROWNING
HEROIC HUSBAND ATTEMPTS TO SAVE LIFE OF HIS WIFE
 BUT FAILS.

Captain J. s. McCann. of the steamer Tanana, whic5 wed in polt yesterday morning. brings word O. the death by drowning of Mrs. W illiams at Tanana one week ago yesterday. The name of the bus and of the woman cannot be learn ed, but the story told by Captain McCann is to the effect that he also nearly lost his life.
 The couple were sailing on the Yukon river in front of Panama in a sail boat. They went around the point of a large island, which lies in the Yukon directly in iron of town, and were lost to the sight of tle villagers who had been watching them navigate their quaint craft.
 The story told by the husband of what occurred from that time on, was somewhat incoherent, accord ling to what Captain McCann heard at Panama, the man having been picked up late Sunday night in an almost insane condition. He was taken to town, where he stated that his wife had drowned when the boat upset.
 According to the story told by the husband. the couple had used sand with which to ballast their craft When they reached the side of the island furthest away from the town, a heavy gust of wind came along and turned the boat complete ly over, it's occupants being thrown into the water The woman could not swim, but she was seized by her husband who swan back to the overturned boat with her and told her to hang on to it while he lowed it ashore
 He then passed the line from the boat about his body and attempted to swim ashore. He was success ful to some extent in pulling the boat along but the mast, which was pointing downward, finally hit bottom with the result that the man was forced to cease his efforts to tow the boat ashore in that man ner He then started back to the assistance of his wife, but before he reached the boat she let go her hold and sank. After she had come up the second time the husband man aged to get hold of his wife. but she was so far gone that she did not realize what she was doing and was of no assistance whatever, so the man had to give up trying to save her.
 As soon as the drowning was re ported a number of the citizens of Panama organized a search for the body, but it was prosecuted without result However just be- fore he left Panama, Captain McCann heard that the body of the woman was. found at Louden last Wednes- day, 1SO miles from the scene of the tragedy.
