FOURTEEN NATIONS

LOT WITH ENTENTE ALLIES
AND ATTACKS HUNGARY.
Action of Roumania Has Been Await.
ed With Symptoms of Concern
by Both Sides Since Begin
ming of Conflict.

acknowledgements has thrown in
her lot with the entente allies by de
claring war on Austria-Hungary and
almost simultaneously Germany has
announced that she is at war with
Roumania.
Roumania thus becomes the four
teenth nation to join in the war. Her
Intervention either on the side of the
entente allies or the central powers
has been awaited with symptoms of
concern by both since the beginning
Of the great conflict This is due not
entirely to Roumania's military
strength, but also TO the st.ategic ad-
vantages Of her geograp hici.l position
and the fact that her entry into the
struggle opens to the Russian army a
gateway to attack the Bulgarians
from the north, while the allied army
having its base at Saloniki attacks
them and their German alli.s from
the south
Nevertheless, Roumania's military
strength is by no means inconsider-
able. The country has populaii lion of
s,S00,00O and her army has been esti-
mated at $4,000.
The motive which prompts l-ouma-
bia to enter the war is the s1tisfac-
ton of her national aspirations, de-
Bcribed by Take Jonescu, the Rouma-
nian liberal leader, as the policy OF
national instinct" Concisely this
means national expansion. l.. the
southern half of Bukowina, the Aus
trian crown land, the Roumanians are
the dominant race. The mass Of the
people Of eastern Pennsylvania, a part
of Hungary, is Roumanian by race
and language. 1t is said 100000 Rou-
manians live in Pennsylvania
