: Military commentators~ag as to
the absolute necessity OF Carrying the
war into the country of Germany's
new enemy by means of swift move,
rnents agains the Roumanian flanks.
In event of swift and successful in
vasion, Roumania's vast stores. of
grain and rich oil wells would be ac-
cessible to the central powers.
Indications are that the difficult ma
ture of the ground along the banks
of the Danube and on the Hungarian
mountain border will localize the first
clashes. The general strategic situa-
ton makes it possible for the troops
of the central powers to assume the
defensive with thin lines, leaving
larger masses free to attempt invasion
at the selected points.

Statement Which Presents Ar.

Closes Negotiations.
ISSUE UP TO CONGRESS-

Washington, Aug. 29.-Dircct me-
gotations between the railroad execu-
tives and employees through President
Wilson were practically closed today
when the executives refused to accede
to proposal made to them yesterday

The suggestion Of President Will

by the railroad executives at the con-
ference this morning.
