MONDAY


 Roumania has entered the great European war on the si1o of the
 ntentc allies She has declared war on Austria Hungary, the official statement issued at the time the declaration was made being as fol lows:
 The Roumanian population has been exposed to the risks of war and invasion by the Austrians and Hungarians. Roumanian interven- tion is all that can shorten the war in the far east And therefore Roumania believes that as a matter of self protection it is necessary to declare war on Austria Hungary.
 A report from Berlin states that immediately after Roumania de clared war on Austria-Hungary, Ger many issued declaration of war againt Roumania.
 Roumania has already dispatched two separate armies into Hungary. according to London dispatches. One of these was met near Hermstadt and kronstaGt, where a fight oC, cured between the regiments and a band of guards of Magyars The latter were the victors. according to the dispatches sent out from Vi enna
 The third ROumanian army is be ing massed between Bucharest and Rutschuk for drive south into Bulgaria in the direction of Adri, anople. This drive is being backed by a parallel move upon Constan- tinople along the coast by the Rus sans.
 The Russians expect to cross into Roumania to the northwest of Varna. while heavy Russian forces are be- ing mobilized at the mouth of the Danube and east of Galatz
 The German report says that fol lowing Germany's declaration of war on Roumania, the armies of the cen tral allies and Roumania immediate ly clashed in the passes south of Pennsylvania. The Roumanians were defeated and lost 245 prisoners. The Teutons are facing the situation with absolute calmness.
 It is believed here that Roumania will suffer the same that Servia suffered and that the country will soon be in the hands of the central powers
 Italy today declared war on Ger many This declaration means lit tie to Germany, for Germany and italy have been practically at war for the last year. Rome dispatches say that Italy has declared war upon Germany because Germany sent both land and sea forces to aid Austria, enabling the dual monarchy to con centrate her maximum effort against Italy.
 London dispatches state that re Inducements are being rushed to the allied forces in the Balkans, which are being so strongly press ed by the Bulgarians. The rein forcements include large contin- gent of Italian troops which have been landed in Albania The com ing of the Italians is looked upon with displeasure by the Greeks, it is stated
 PetrOgrad reports that General Lennewaden repulsed the Germans near kiselin. taking 1900 prisoners and 13 machine guns. Berlin ad- mits temporary setback in that vicinity, but reports the repulse of the Russian force which attempted to cross the Dvina near Frederick stadt. It is also stated in the Der lin report that the Teutons were victorious north of the Dniester
 Reports from London and Berlin concerning fighting on the western front are very contradictory Both Germany and England claim gains at Thiepval.

WEDNESDAY

The two latest developments in the war are that Turkey has de clared war on Roumania and that Germany expects declaration ot war against herself and Austria Hungary. at almost any moment by the Greeks The latter announce today.
 Berlin reports are to the effect that, in accordance with pre- arrang- ed plans. the Austrians have evac- uated the Transylyanian towns of kronstad, Prorozieny and kOezdi- vasarhly to the Roumanians and are certifying shorter line of defense.
 Roumanian attacks near Orsoza have been repulsed On the Car pathian front the Germans stormed Cukal. a mountain, northwest of Labie
 The Bulgarians occupied the Greek town of Drama. taking the Greek defenders prisoners of war.
 On the Italian front the Austri- ans repulsed the Italian attacks near Cauriol mountain and Cima- dicece.
 On the Somme front numerous Anglo-French attacks between Ovil- lers and Chilly were victoriously repulsed. The Germans are hold ing all the important positions on the western front
 On the Caucasian front the Tur- kish right wing and center are mak- ing progress against the Russians. The field of battle is strcwn with dead and wounded Russians.
 Germany has been defeated in three Transylvanian passes but ill one sector the Austrians were with drawn to escape great enCirCllne movement by the Roumanians. Aus trian monitors have shelled the Roumanian towns of Verciorva, Tur- nusverin and Gieurgive. The Rou- manians are aiding the Russians cast of Dneister.
 On the Russian front the Russians were completely defeated north of the Dneister
 After obstinate fighting, says d late report, the Austrians lost Mount Caurile to the Italians.
 General von Hindenburg greatest of all of their leaders in the eyes of the German people. has been ap- pointed chief of the German general staff He has assumed his duties, according to Berlin dispatches. and has already started complete re organization of the German army General Ludendorff has been ap- pointed quartermaster general and General von Falkenhayn, who has all through the war opposed the strategic suggestions of vOn linden burg and who was supported in his contentious by the kaiser, has been removed from command
 It is now believed that the chief German offensive moves will mature on the eastern front, and that it is the intention of General VOL Hin, denburg to overrun Roumania. as Serbia and Belgium were oyerrun, Such a policy has been von Hin denburgs since the opening of the war, as he has always Contended that the greatest battles would be fought on the eastern front and that it is Russia which will prove to be the most dangerous of all oi the enemies of Germany
