AUSTRIA INVADED
BY ROUMAN|A
Vienna Admits Retreat Before
New Foe.
BULGARS WRECK BRIDGES
Russians Move Through New Ally's
Country to Cut 5erlln-Constan-
tinople Railway-Greece TO
Enter War Soon.

London, Aug. 30.-The ROumanian
army Is advancing into Hungary. The
hrst important victory of the fifteenth
power to enter the European war Is ad-
mitted by Vienna in an official state
ment which says the Hungarian
troops, which claimed the advantage In
the initial clash with the new belliger-
ent yesterday. have been forced to re-
treat.
This announcement. coupled with a
statement earlier In the day that the
Rulgarians have blown up several
bridges across the Danube indicates
that the rush of the Roumanians has
put the Teutons on the defensive az
all points. The blowing up of the
Danube bridges Is interpreted as
meaning that the Teutons have given
UP all hope Of an invasion of ROu-
mania and an advance across the Dan
ube against Bucharest and are con-
tent to put what obstacles they may
In the way Of ROumanian invasion of
eastern Hungary. which Is already
menaced by the Russian drive through
the Carpathans.
Russ Move on Bulqars.
The power of the new offensive
against the central powers rapidly
gained strength, the entry Of Russian
troops into Roumania with the pur-
pose Of moving against Bulgaria from
this new direction, having further COM
pllcated the defensive task of the GEN.
trail powers. These Russian forces are
believed to be directed against the
railroad communication between the
central powers and COnstantinople, the
cutting Of which would be terrific
blow to the Turks and would open the
way for q land attack which Is expect
ed to be the opening wedge In the task
of clearing the Dardanelles and open
ing direct water communication be-
tween Russia and the entente allies.
While these military developments
were in progress the situation assumed
added menace with the growing indi-
cation that the entry of Greece into
the war on the side of the entente Is a
matter of days. A Copenhagen dis
patch declares that Germany is rap
idly preparing for such a development
and that Greek residents Of Germany
are already beginning to leave for
their OWE country. The Greek minis
ter to Germany will be received In au-
dience by Chancellor Won Bethman-
Hollweg.
Check First Rush.
Berlin, Aug 30.-ROumanian forces
estimated at 10000 men are trying to
batter their way through the passes of
the Pennsylvania Alps to Overrun the
plains of Hungary.
German and Austro- Hungarian Of
ficers, fighting side by side, have
checked the first rush of the Rou-
manians, which was undertaken be-
fore the Teutonic soldiers knew that
Roumania had formally declared war
against AustrO-Hungary.

GERMANS MAKE FAILURE
OF IAsIGNY ATTACK

The significant fact that the Ger
mans last Monday attacked the French
lines around Lasigny. where the front
nearest approaches Paris. was dlvulged
yesterday In a Paris dispatch quoting
the correspondent OF La Liberte. He
reports that the attack was launched
by about 10000 picked troops-aimost
an army corps-and that II was n fail

He states that counter attack was
launched. coupled with barrier Are.
which caught the attackers in the rear
threw the Teutons out of portions OF
trenches which they had penetrated in
their initial onrush. The attacking
ranks. he states. were decimatod by
the murderous French fire. Sub
secuently attempts to renew the as
sault were fruit1ess, he adds.

"Katinka" At Academy.

II was the intention of Mr.. Hauer-
bach. who wrote the musical play,
"Katjnka." which Mr.. Hammerstein
will present at the Academy tonight
and Saturday matinee and night. to
name his heroine Elaine. and Elaine
she was during the whole process of
the composition. The name, Elaine
with its elflne sound and its sugges-
ton Of romance and old-world chiv-
airy. tlckled. too. the fancy OF Mr.
Hammerstein and the two decided to
give the name OF the heroine to the
musical comedy. A c c o r n x "
Elaine" was announced In the dra-
matte columns as a forthcoming pro-
duction by Mr.. Hammerstein, Mr.
Hauerhach and Mr.. Rudolf F>riml. the
triumvirate who had already given the
world the charming operetta. The
FREELY and the musical jollity, High
links" and the advent OF the petite
Elaine was eagerly awaited.
But when 1t came to rehearsal. Mr..
Hauerbach and Mr.. Hammerstein dis
covered that Elaine wouldn't do at
all. They had q piquant little heroine.
but her name couldn't be Elaine any
more than II could be Clymenstra For
the little heroine was a Russian, sur
rounded by Russian. and by every
thing that was RussiAn-Russian
palaces. Russian furniture. Russian
heard OF Russian girl named Elaine,
or who could imagine any Russian
priest at the christening font failing
