Rome, June 2.-ItaIian news papers today hail as an accom- plished fact the approaching en- try of Roumania and Bulgaria in the war in Europe.

URGING ROUMANIA
 TO CONFLICT.

London, June 2.-That Rou- mania and Bulgaria have agreed to enter the war for the Allies is accepted as true here. Rus sia has been urging the hasten ing of the agreement between the two countries for the reason that it is believed it would serve to cut off supplies for tke Austrians and compel the with drawal of the forces that are at tacking PrzemysI.
 An attack on Turkey by Bul- garia would insure the early fall of Constantinople, and the ne lease of powerful armies en- gagged at the Dardanelles for use elsewhere.
 The entrance of ROumania and Bulgaria in the war for the Allies will, it is believed here, force Greece to join, and be even more important in its re- suits than the entrance of Italy was.
