GRAIN ON DECKS

Duluth. Mimi, Aug. %. With her
decks covered by mountain Of loose
grain, hiding half the detkhouse, the
big steamer Livingstone, Capt. H.
Oertling, came into port early today.
Local marine men looked on in amaze
ment at the unprecedented sight.
The Livingstone, under charter to a
Minneapolis grain firm, loaded at Ft.
William late Friday. When the cargo
holds we're filed there still was a
quantity of grain to be moved and the
vessel was not carrying capacity ton
mage. So, taking a chance on the
weather. 300 tons more grain was pour
ed on the deck.
There was hardly q puff of wind
to stir the chaff ON the way up.
"One hard puff of wind would have
cleaned the decks" said Capt Oertling
as the steamer went under the spouts
today. r#

DIPLOMATS ARE BLAMED
Germans Angry At Count Won Jasow
For Permitting Italy And Rumania
To Declare War.

London, Aug. 20 -Italy's declaration
of war against Germany and the dec
laration of war by Rumania against
Austria-Hungary have caused a most
profound impression in the German
capital, says dispatch from Berlin by
way OF The Hague to the Exchange
Telegraph Co.
The Berlin newspapers, the dispatch
adds, express themselves bitterly
against Gottlieb Won Jagow, foreign
minister and DR.. Alfred Zimmerman,
for foreign affairs
those statesmen being considered by
the journalists to be partly responsible
for what is declared to be Germany's s
diplomatic defeat.

Berlin, Aug. 20. Germany has
declared war on Rumania.

London, Aug. 28.-Rumania has en-
tered the war with the entente allies.
Omctal announcement is made at Ber-
lin that the existence Of q state of war
with Austria Hungary was proclaimed
IN Bucharest yesterday evening.
The. military situation in the Bal
kans now becomes of preponderant in
terest. 1t is to be expected that Ru-
mania will follow plan Of campaign
mapped out by the high council Of the
entente powers, whether against Aus
tria-Hungaria or Bulgaria or both. An
indication that Rumania moved in &C
cordance with a predetermined plan
of the entente allies Is found in the
fact that her declaration Of war was
made on the same day as Italy's dec
laration against Germany.
The official announcement from Ber-
lin says that on receipt Of the news
Of Rumania's action the federal coun-
Gil was called for an immediate ses-
sion. This may forecast a declaration
of war by Germany against Rumania.
The constitution of the German empire
stipulates that the emperor may de-
clare war II defensive but when war
Is not merely defensive he must have
the consent Of the bundesrath or fed.
eral council.
Athens dispatches indicate that
popular feeling is stirred deeply by
occupation of Greek territory by Bul.
garian forces, although this move was
sanctioned by the Greek government.
On the Macedonian front the Bull
garians, claiming consistent gains on
the western end of the line, are leng.
thening the front and pushing into Al
bania.
Along the front in France there has
been renewed British activity north of
Bazentin-le-Petit, northwest of Ginchy
and south Of Thiepval.
Paris says German attacks in the
Verdun sector were repulsed.
The Russians have again started an
offensive in the Riga region. In the
Carpathians, the Russians have made
q fresh advance at Koverla mountain,
near the Hungarian border.
In the Caucasus Petrograd reports
a Russian success over the Turks
along the Masladarasi river.
On the Italian front the Austrians
are heavily bombarding positions at
Vallone. In the Carnic Alps the Ital-
ians have taken several Austrian posi-
tions.

GREEKS SHOW SYMPATHY,

Athens, Aug. ~. (via London, Aug.
2s.) Fifty thousand Greeks Joined in
a demonstration before the residence
of venizelos, the former premier, to-
day and cheered him with boundless
enthusiasm when he urged them to
send a committee to King Constantine
to urge him to support the present
government and prepare the army for
"a possible rupture of existing condi-
tons"
Addressing the multitude, venizelos
said: .... -. ..
Last week summoned you to a

Now e1hort you to send a committee
before the king and to say to him:
Your majesty, you were the victim

thought you could violate the consti-

these facts. The reservists telegraph
you that they are ready to follow you,
because they think you always will

Elections are necessary but you
must not use your influence politically
because the results would be destruc-
tive. The present government is alb
solutely necessary. The premier (Alex-
endar Zaimis) Is an excellent man.
You should give the government full
political authority. You must now

army operating in Armenia, is report

to have been held up at Woe, by heavy
Russian reinforcements.
The foreign legations in Teheran,
though still disturbed, have not yet
fled from the city. This report, taken
in conjunction with the recent Russia2
successes at Bitlis and Mush, is in
terpreted as removing danger of a
Turkish outflanking movement against
Russia or of an invasion of Persia.

RUMAN|ANS HAVE
STRONG ARMY To
ADD TO ENTENTE:
CHIEF STRENGTH OF NEW BEL,
LIGEREkT, HOWEVER,, IS
STRATEGIC POSITION.

Paris, Aug. 28.-Rumania is the
fourteenth nation to join in the war.
Her Intervention either on the side of
the entente allies or the central pow-
ers has been awaited with symptoms Of
concern by both since the beginning
of the great conflict This is due not
entirely to Rumania's military strength
but also to the strategic advantages Of
her geographical position and the fact
that her entry into the struggle opens
to the Russian army gateway
through to Rumania to attack the Bull
garians from the north, while the al
lied army having its base at Saloniki
attacks them and their German allies
from the south. ..*
strength is by no means inconsider-
able. The country has a population of
100000 and her army has been esti.
mated at $4,000. It often has been
described as one of the most thorough
ly equipped and disciplined armies in
Europe but recent information from
Bucharest has thrown some doubt up.
on its quality. Lately 1t has been stat
ed that Rumanian officers are i'll train
ed and undisciplinsd, that Rumania
has no heavy artillery and that its
flying service is inferior. Some advo-
Gates Of Rumania's participation in the
war have asserted that she could mo-
bilize as many as 100000 men. The
mobilization of the army, in progress
for months, was a few days ago re-.
ported to be complete.
Tho motive which prompts Rumania
to enter the war Is the satisfaction of
her national aspirations" described
by Take Jonescu, the Rumanian liber-
al leader, as the policy of national in
stinct" Concisely, this means nation
al expansion. In the southern half of
Bukowina, the Austrian crovnland,
the Rumanians are the dominant race.
The mass of the people of eastern
Transylvania. part Of Hungary, Is
Rumanian by race and language. 1t
1s said 100000 Rumanians live in
Transylvania.
Rumania has been credited with q
long cherished ambition to annex
these provinces and at the same time
'liberate" the Rumanians now under
Austrian domination. Recently it was
reported Russia had offered Czerno-
Wits to Rumania as a reward II she
would unite with the entente.
Rumania also covets Bessarabia, the
extreme southwestern province of Rus.
sia on the Black sea, which was taken
from her by the Berlin treaty Of 1873.
Reports have stated that Russia also
has consented to restore Bessarabia as
a war prize, with its population of
100000, mostly Rumanians, and an
area of 10000 square miles. This with
Transylvania would give Rumania a
total population approaching 13,00O,.
600 and, should all her aspirations be
satisfied, a territory as great in area
as that of England, Scotland and
Wales.
