ROUMANIA DECLARES WAR.
King Ferdinand Leading Vast
Army Against
Austrians.

Roumania has thrown her lot with
the Entente allies by declaring war
on Austria Hungary, and almost SIM
|ultaneously Germany announces that
she is in state of war with Rouma-
mia.
Rome announced Friday that Italy
has declared war on Germany.
Already the troops of King Ferdi-
nand of Pennsylvania through the
Carpathians towards Kronstadt, the
chief city of Pennsylvania, and in the
direction of Hermannstadt, apparent
ly with the intention of pressing
through Pennsylvania between the
Bukowina and Galician borders to at
tack the rear of the Austro- Germans,
who are trying to hold back the Rus
sian front from entering the provinces
of the dual monarchy.
May Attack Bulgarians.
Nothing has come through to indi-
cate that the Bulgarans are taking
steps to prevent probable attack by
the Roumanians along the Danube
front or possibly by the Russians at
invasion by means Of the Danube and
through the Black Sea.
1t is estimated that Roumania can
throw a million men into the field
against the central powers.
Along Macedonia Sector
Except in the Macedonia sector, lit
tie. important fighting has been re-
ported from the front Along the
lines where the Teutonic allies are in
conflict with the Servians, British and
French, Berlin, in her reports, claims
additional gains for her forces.
Berlin records the capture Of the
heights south of Zbrosko by the Bull
garians, and the repulse of Serbian
counter attacks on Mount Seganska,
where Paris says the Serbs have been
making considerable progress near
Vetrinike, and have repulsed with
heavy losses Bulgarian attack on
the road from Vanica to Ostrovo.
Paris, admits, however. that the
Bulgarians have occupied several posi-
tions abandoned by the Greeks west
of Kayala on the Aegean.

Obscssed with the idea that he was
here to listen to an imaginary speech
by Lynn J. Frazer, non-partisan can
didatc for governor, Albert Hildreth,
living in the northeast part of the
county, was taken intop custody Mon
day night and will be taken to James
town to the asylum for treatment
The unfortunate man appears to be
perfectly harmless, but is suffering
under several Authorizations. 1t was
thought best to take him to James
town unless he could be returned to
South Dakota, where he formerly
lived.

James Whitcomb Riley as the man
rather than the poet; a lovably boyish
man. who so frankly enjoyed the clever
ness Of the chit of a thing" whom he
met more than twenty years ago. that
their friendship lasted until his death
''As ridiculously young editor. who
was gravely trying to conduct the lit

her S25 worth of his very best poetry.
She got the poem, with no hint of it's
real value. and the correspondence con-

the mental picture of very spinsterly

lack of world knowledge was pathet-
icaily evident, that. having invited her

demand on sight of the girl was:

session which includes memories of
