Political situation abroad remains about

This buying ultimately counted mate

RUMANIA FOURTEENTH NATION
TO ENTER GREAT WORLD WAR

Rumania is the fourteenth nation to
1oin 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 con-
fict This is due not entirely to Ru-
mania's military strength. but also to
the strategic advantages of her geo
graphical position and the fact that
her entry into the struggle-opens to
the Russian army a gateway through
Rumania to attack the Bulgarians
from the north. while the allied army
having its base at Saloniki attacks
them and their German allies from
the south.
Nevertheless. Rumania's military
strength is by no means Uncomfortable.
The country has population Of $780,
900, and her army has been estimated
At $4,000. 1t often has been described

Colorado Promises to Be Good
battle-ground Between Re-
pubIicans and Democrats.
INFLUX OF IMMIGRATION
ENTERS INTO ESTIMATES
Careful Observers Talk About Plu.
ralities as Low as 5000 One
Way or the Other.
BY N. o, MESSENGER.

DENVER, Col, August Is
Colorado promises to be good
fighting ground between the re-
publicans and the democrats on
both the national and state tickets.
Careful observers talk about plurali-
ties as low as 5000 one way or the
other. The drift of major public opin-
ion at this time is believed to be to-
ward the republican national ticket.
Sentiment is not crystallizing between
the parties on the state ticket, as
contest over the republican guberna-
torial nomination is on, to be deter
mined by primaries September -. The
local claim that Colorado will go re-
publican on the presidency, which is
supported in several Independent and
qualified quarters, discards the figures
Of the 1912 election for comparison and
considers present conditions. In 1872
the combined Taft and Roosevelt vote
was 10000 in excess of the Wilson vote.
Since 1912 there has been a great in
flux of emigration into Colorado, estl-
mated as high as 5000, and a great
deal of it from. republican states. No
estimate is at hand as to the return of
the progressives, but there are no out
ward signs of progressive revolt. and
the republicans expect to have the
support of the great bulk of the Roose-
welt vote of four%earS ago.

as one of the most thoroughly eouipned

recent information from Bucharest has
thrown some doubt upon its quality.
Lately 1t has been stated that Ru-
manian officers are ill-trained and mn
disciplined, that Rumania has no heavy
artillery and that its flying service, is
inferior.
Some advocates Of Rumania's mar
ticipation in the war have asserted
that she could mobilize as many as
100000 men. The mobilization OF her
army has been in progress for months
and few days ago was reported TO be

Motives Inspiring Rumania.
The motive Which prompts Rumania
to enter the war is the satisfaction of
her national aspirations described by

leader. as the policy Of national in

Political Crisis in Hungary.
Enthusiasm in London.

Rumania's declaration of war while
not unexpected. aroused the greatest
enthusiasm in London. Special editions
of the newspapers announcing the event
were bought eagerly by crowds on the
streets.
The meeting of the Rumanian crown
council, at which the decision was
reached, was held at the Controceni
palace King Ferdinand presided and
the session was prolonged over several
days. The council consists of nineteen
members. of whom it is believed four
to six opposed intervention.
Besides cOnferrlAs with the crown
council with whom the final decision
rested. King Ferdinand had prolonged
conferences with the leaders of all
Runaanian political parties, including
those favorable to intervention and
those who had been the strongest sup
porters of Rumania continuing her neu-
trality.
The Rumanian military officers had
discussed for some days what probably
would be the first step taken when war
was declared and had dismissed all
alien employees. many of whom were
Germans An especially large number
of Germans were employed in the tech
nical services.

chase of the Wilkins interest. The trust
