|RUMAN|A FEARS DETERMINATION
Her Monarch Makes Appeal to Al- lies to Save Country From Fate of Serbia and Belgium--Entered
 War From Principle.

London. Oct. i3.--The Times pub fishes an interview given to it's cor respondent with the Rumanian army by King Ferdinand of Ruman- ia in which the monarch appeals to the allies not to permit his coun- try to suffer the fate of Belgium and Serbia.
 The Rumanians will not falter, the king said, "in their allegiance to the cause, nor can the enemy wean them from their faith in their allies. Net the Rumanians pray that in spite of their existing exigencies and their own huge problems. the allies will not allow the affairs of numania, who has staked her all in this conflict, to pass into the back of their minds and to suffer to such an extent that she may meet the fate of either Belgium or Serbia"
 King Ferdinand says that Ruman- ia had not been moved to enter the war by mere eypediency. but that her decision was based on the big gest principles of nationality.

Special to The Star

Special to The Star
 Little Rock. Oct. i2.-The state ment is made authoritatively that Associate Justice W. F. Kirby fav- ored a primary for the nomination of a United States Senator his opin- ion of the law being that a special election called for December l5, or January 1, would have been valid. and would have siven the Central Committee time to hold a primary election on the general election day when all the voters would have been present to participate in it. The Committee. however. after hearing many opinions, concluded that Il was necessary to place the name of a Democratic nominee on the ticket for the general election day. November :. Some suggested that a man should be selected who did not care to hold the office and DO laced utaV sBco vfthe h !pva who would resign afterwards in favor of the man to be selected at a primary to be called thereafter. Judge kirhys opinion on this mat ter was that if the Central Com mlttee found 1t necessary to select a candidate in order to protect the party and the people from the loss of a Senator at the general election. they should select some one who they thought would best discharge the pubic service in accordance With the wishes of the people.
