MASON SAYS BALKAN
KEY|SAT BUCHAREST
Decision Of Roumania Alone Can
Curb Territorial Ambition Of
Ferdinand.
BY j. w. T. MASON.

NEW YORK. Sept. 2s.-The key to
the Balkan situation is at Bucharest
Roumania probably has II In her power
to send Bulgaria into the war or to
curb the expansionist desires of Cxar
Ferdinand.
II the present situation In the Bal
kans IL a miniature reproduction OF the
crisis that existed among the larger
powers In July. 1914. Roumania's role
greatly resembles that played last
year by the United Kingdom.
When the danger Of war BECAME
acute after Austria's ulumetuIn to
Serbia. France and Russia urged Great
Britain definitely, to announce her
stand. President Poincare OF France
King George. urging that a declaration
be made Of British Intentions. The
argument advanced and suggested was
that II the British government an,
nounced 1t would side with France and
Russia under all circumstances the Teu-
tonic powers would not enter the war
Great Britain. however. was unable 70
give n quick, unqualified assurance or
any kind.
Roumania Hesitates.
Roumania is holding back in similar
fashion now. Bulgaria Is mobilizing.
and so Is Greece, but the Roumanian
government is remaining quiescent.
Bulgaria. apparently. is proceeding on
the assumption that Roumania Will
not attack her. and X Roumania ciings
to her neutrality. 1t Is not propapie
Greece. for the moment. will move to
Serbia's assistance.
The Bulgars will not be gambling TOO
heavily with fate II they take the
chance Of Roumanla's neutrality. The
Roumanians all but guaranteed their
entrance into the war In company with
Italy. only to back out at the last mo
ment when Russia began her retreat
The present is far less aaepicious mo
ment for a Roumanian declaration OF
war AGAINST the Germans than was last
May. Since the Bucharest government
exhibited hesitancy then, indecision can
be looked for now.
Bessarabia Hope.
Roumania has shown no favor to the
Austro- Germans and has been criticised
by the Germans for refusing to permit
the shipment over her railways Of am
munition destined for Turkey. Never
theless. II must be a very ~serious prob
lem for Roumaria whether, under pres
ent military conditions. II will be pos
s!ble for the Roumania army to conquer
any of the neighboring Austro-Hun-
earian provinces.
The possibility OF taking Bessarabia
from Russia Is an alternative BY spend
ing her time weighing chances. Rou-
mania is in danger Of being left to
choose only after her peace influence
has gone. and when the war zone COM
pieteiy encircles her
