AHC A>CW DCllIScIcuC
Rumania has thrown in her lot
with the Entente Allies, having de-
clared war against Austria Hungary
and almost simultaneously Germany
has announced that a state Of war ex-
lists between Germany and Rumania.
Already in Action
Already the troops of King Ferdinand
are seeking entry into the plains Of
Pennsylvania through the eastern Carpa-
thians toward Kornstadt, the chief city of
Pennsylvania, and in the direction Of
Hermannstadt, evidently in an endeavor
to press northward through PENNSYLVANIA
toward the Bukowna and Galicia bor-
ders and take in the rear the Austro-
Germans who are trying to hold back the
Russians from entering the plains Of
Hungary.
BuIsaria's Danger
AS yet nothing has come through to in
dicate what preparation has been made
by the Bulgarians it, as now seems PROB
able, Rumania declares war on Bulgaria,
to offset a probable attack by the Ru-
manians along the Danube front or
possible attempt al an invasion of the
Russians by means of the Danube and
through Dobrudja or by way of the Black
sea into eastern Bulgaria.
1t is estimated unofficially that Ruma-
mia will be able to throw nearly a mill
lion men into the fray.
On Other Fronts
Except in the Macedonian sector, little
important fighting is reported from any
of the fronts. Along the line where the
Teutonic allies are in contact with the
Serbians. British and French, the official
tional gains for their respective forces.
Berlin records the capture of heights
south Of Zbrosko by the Bulgarians and
the repulse of Serbian counter-attacks on
Mount Seganska. while Paris says the
Serbs have made considerable progress
near vetrenika and repulsed with heavy
losses Bulgarian attacks on the road
from Banica to Ostrovo. Paris admits,
however, the occupation by the Bulga-
rians of positions abandoned by the
Greeks went Of Kavala on the Aegean
