RUMANIA WILL JOIN
FORCES OF ALLIES

London, January 15.-There are
increasing indications of the early
participation of Rumania in the war,
thus bringing into play another party
to the combination against the Teu-
tonic powers contemplated by Great
Britain, France and Russia.
Difficulties confronted the allies in
the earlier stages of the war in fur
nishing munitions, equipment and
other necessities of war beyond those
required for their own mediate needs.
These difficulties now have been sur
mounted and the obstacle which hith-
erto has blocked full Rumanian mob
ilization has been removed with the
arrival in that country of the requi-
site supplies for the equipment and
provisioning for 100000 men which
she is able to put in the field. Ar
engagements have been completed also
for the financing of these operations.
Content to Hold positions
The lack of stirring battles at the
present stage is attributed by British
commentators largely to the deter
mination of the allied commanders to
content themselves with holding their
present positions until the projected
ring of armies is considered suffi-
GENTLY strong to strike a blow which
they hope will prove decisive.
The British idea that operations up
to now are only preparatory to big
events fits in with bit of gossip now
heard here. 1t is to the effect that
Lord Kitchener, when asked concern
ing the probable duration of the war
said:
II don't know when it will end, but
I do know when it will begin, and
that is in the month of May"
The opinion is expressed in some
quarters, however, that the Inaugural
ton of more general movements will
be on an earlier date than is general
ly expected, although persons in close
touch with the army believe that the
real crisis will not be reached until
summer.
Russian ReinfOrcements
Russia is still sending enormous
masses of men to within easy reach of
various nOints ON her long fighting

line. The levies of 1914 amounting
to l Zoo. 900 men, are Just leaving the


to 1900, 900 men, are just leaving the
training camps, which will be occu-
pied by the 1915 levies now being
called out. Germany's newest levy,
lust announced, amounts to 100000
men of the age of 10 and her masses
of reserves already under arms en-
able her to rush heavy reinforce
ments wherever required without
withdrawing troops already engaged
at the front in either the eastern or
the western fighting zones. This was
shown few days ago in Elsate when
the Germans assembled force suf-
ficient to recapllre Burn6aupt, from
which point the French we're threat
ening Muelhausen.
For the moment, the center of in
terest in the western field is Perthes,
on account of the railroads in that
region, which are of equally great i'm
portance to both the Germans and
the French. Should either side gain
possession of the railroad now held
by the other lines of communication
would be cut and it would be neces-
sary to evacuate trenches for a con-
siderable distance. The Germans
realized that danger when the French
captured Perthes, and broke up large
forces in an attempt to regain the
lost terrain.
The Situation i'm Poland
The fighting in Poland recently has
been purely of local character. The
Germans are said to be contemplat,
ing an attack at a new point. Appar.
emily the Russians are content for the
present to maintain their straight
line north and south without attempt.
ing to push westward.
Farther south owing to the Rus
sian progress in Bukowina, an ad
vance on Cracow once more appears
to be imminent.
Doubt is expressed in some quart
ers whether the Germans who are re
ported to have gone south supposed
ly to assist Austria in the campaign
against Servia, are actually destined
for that service. 1t is suggested theil
objective is Hungary, which is repre-
sented as much upset by the Russian
advance against Pennsylvania and the
activities of Rumania.
Hope is expressed on all sides here
that Sir Edward Grey's reply to the
American shipping will not prove &C
ceptable to the United States. There
is some disposition to regard the sta
tistics in the reply that the British
government has been derelict in itl
duty, in permitting large quantities
of commodities required by the belli
gerents to reach hostile nations.

clubs, especially the Congress oil

clubs, especially the Congress of
Mothers, it was placed on the statu-
40. While other states have
mothers pension acts Idaho's is diff
ferent from them all for it was draft
ed to include all of the better fea-
lures of the Missouri, Utah and Ore
gon acts. Under its terms approx
mately $40, 1000 was paid out in Idaho
among the various countries through
the probate courts, or to be exact,
$39,114.35, to mothers whose hus-
bands are dead or are incarcefated as
state wards in the penitentiary. Only
three of the 33 counties in the state
failed to take advantage of the pro-
visions of the act 1t has kept hung
er from the door in many instances
and been a boon to mothers with
large families to support.
This act passed the last legislature
with but five votes against it in the
senate. 1t received the unanimous in
dorsement of the committees that
considered it and was not amended in
its passage, so that following the at
tachment of the governors signature
to it, it went onto The statu. DOCKS
as originally introduced before the
last legislature.
/ Miss Coston, probation officer of
Ada county, has complied some inter-
esting data on the mothers pension
act since it went into force in this
state. She finds that Franklin and
Bingham counties expended the larg-
est amounts of money as provided for
the support of mothers in the act.
Bingham county spent $4,528.95,
lending aid through pensions IN "a
cases and taking care of ia child
rem. Franklin county had "a cases,
including IS children and spent $4,-
$3.50 in pensions. Ada, the largest
county in the state, both in popula-
ton and assessed property valuation,
had but five cases, aiding 81 children
and spending $1,S16.75.
Under the terms of this act only
mothers whose husbands are dead or
in the pentitentiary are qualified to
receive peisions for the aid of their
children. The pensions automactical-
ly cease when the husbands are liber-
ated from the penitentiary. The first
child up to the age of Ia is allowed
$40 and all other children under that
age IS each until they reach an age
of over ID. The act did not include
deserted wives left with a family on
their hands to care for, because of
the fear that to do so would "let
down the bars" in the giving of PEN
sions, although it was admitted that
in most instances such cases are de-
serving of financial assistance. Cap

of it's truth and frankness, 1 would
like to ask you why a certain Chi

there are just as many Germans as

There are also just as many pa

newspaper in question prints war
