.ROUMAN|A ABOUT TO JOIN
FORCES WITH ENTENTE
Renewed Reports OF Entry Into War
on Side of Allies Given
Wide Crcdcnce.
NEGOTIATING WITH RUSSIA
Could Give Important Material Aid.
More Than 100000 Troops M0bil-
iZcd-Gcrmany and Austria May
Send Ultimatum to- Bucharest.

LONDON, August 2i.--Thc opening OF
the allied offensive at Saloniki mas
been tho signal for renewed reports
that Rournania is at last about to throw
in her lot with the entente. These re-
ports are more circumstantial than
before, and German press comment :
:nd ca;" that thc% arc far from being
devoid Of foundation One Berlin news
paper declares that Roumanii already
mas joined the allies. and that plans are
pclng lad Tor the march OF a Russian
army through Roumanian territory
Major Moraht. the German military
critic. also believes that Roumania is
negotiating with Russia and hints az
an ultimatum to Bukharest from Ger
many and Austria
The entry of RounIania into the ,yal
OH the side of the entente would mean
the forging of another link in the
chaih OF foes surrounding the central
powers. The material aid which Rou..
mama could give would be OF an i'm
Dortant character. She has had be-
tween 100000 and 500. 900 troops mo-
niliZed for nearly year. and her army
is rcputed To he one Of the hest
equipped and trained in Europe.
Apart from possible Russian re-en-
!orccment Roumania would be In q no :
sition to deal powerful blow In con-
junction with the allies drive from the

ers charged with no less responsible
duties.
The proposal from the President
now before the railroads is:
IL To adopt the eight-hour days as
basis for wages. even where the
actual work to be done cannot be com
pleted within eight hours to quote
the Presidents words
"2. To increase the hourly rate of
pay 2s per cent.
The result of the acceptance Of this
proposal would be:
II. Absolutely no change in the
length of the work day.
"2. An increase in wages OF moro
than s5o,0o0.000 a year to about four
fifths of the train employees, or less
than one-seventh OF all railroad om-
ployees. In other words, an unfair
wage prefcrmcnt would be granted
without investigation and under threat
Of national strike. to one man in
seven in the railroad service
"If these wage demands are just in
whole or in part. then a public
tribunal, appointed by the President
as we have urged, would speedily so
determine.
The weight Of public opinion must
determine this issue. We cannot be-
licve that il is the calm judgm INT OF
the country that we should sacrifice
the principle of arbitration In Indus
rial disputes under n threat to tie
up the commerce OF the country
