Berlin, Aug. 28th-Roumania declared
war on Austria Hungary on Sunday eve
ming, it is announced here officially. The
announcement is as follows: The Ronmani-
an Government yesterday evening declared
war on Austriu-H Hungary. The Federal
Council has been convoked for an inmedi-
ate sitting. Roumania has q border as
long as the whole Russian western war
trout, on which to choose her point of mill
tary attnck. Austria has been nccumulat.
ing NJ. it ~ forces at OrsOya, prepared to
attempt to force the iron gates where the
Danube river touches the western Ronmanja
border. Bulgaria is said TO have stationed
100 900 or more troops along the southern
bank of the Danube to protect her north
ern frontier from q Roum0nian invasion.
Apprehension in Germany, that Roumnnia
intended to permit a Russian army 10
march through Der territory to attack the
Bulgarians, has been apparent for some
time. Roumania awaited only the begin
ming of the Anglo-French offensive in
Macedonia before joining her fortunes
with those Of the Entente Allies. An
other reason Tor her delay has been the
lack of ammunition, which has been reliev-
ed by large supplies coming from Japan, by
the way of Vlalivostok, according TO recent
reports. Roumania has q population of
100000 and her army has been estimated
at $50, coo. Some advocates of RCumania's
participation in the war have asserted that
she could mobilize as many as LOCO, coo
men.

patch from the Hague.

been seized by the authorities of New
Castle md that vicinity. ''The brushes bnve
been imported into England, says The Lon
don DAILY Express. "No evidence is
available as TO how The brushes came to be
infected, but there is no improbability in The
suggestion that q nation which las poisoned
wells and committed other atrocities, should
have selected this means of q diabolical
attempted attack on its enemies.
London, Aug. 26th.-A despatch to the
"London Express" says the appearance Of
the rew English Zeppelins caused much anx-
iety in Germany. Patrolling off Denmark
the Iglish dirigibles completely outpaced

of italian troops at Chimara "a smalll seaport
