get the navy ready for possible service
In Mexico there Is unusual activity on
board the battleshlp Pennsylvania, the
latest and what naval men say is the
most powerful ship In the American
navy.
This big ship. but recently commits
stoned, has never seen any service. Her
big guns have never been fired, and her
hull has only once ventured outside the
Virginia capes, and that when she was
on her speed trial runs.
But she is ready for service, and
navy men say she could do more dam
age than any other two ships In the
navy with her big i4-inch guns. Her
crew, too. Is made up almost entirely
OF men from other ships In the navy.
Unlike most of Uncle Sans ships, the
Pennsylvania has practically no crook

DOC men. They are all trained seamen,
engineers, electricians, machinists and
various other mechanics. Her gun
crew 10 composed OF gunners Of long
experience. most of them coming from
the New Hampshire, the Louisiana and
the Vermont. The latter ship sent 70
trained men TO the Pennsylvania.

Washington, Aug. 30:-Despite de-
malls of labor leaders that President
Wilson or any one else had asked
them to postpone the strike. there
were abundant evidences that such
was the case.
Somehow. there was a feeling In
congress late today, and In admins
tration circles and other places that
a way will be found to avert a strike.
No one knew what it was, but the
feeling prevailed.
The first legal phase of the situa-
ton developed with the temporary in
junction issued by the local court of
Nebraska, restraining the conductors
from calling strike on the Union
Pacific. There were intimations tina,
similar injunctions will be sought else-
where, where the men are against
striking.

tion is in contravention Of law. While

causes which led Rumania7 to declare
war on Austria-Hungary and set
forth in q note presented to Count
Czernin, the Austro- min
lister to Rumania, after a meeting of
the Rumanian crown council at which
it was decided to declare war. Sum-
married., the reasons given are:
The triple alliance. to which Ru-
mania was party. was broken when
Italy declared war against Austria
Hungary.
Austria Hungary threatened the in
terests and national aspirations OF
Rumania.
Austria -Hungary's assurances that
quest or territorial gains, In attacking
Serbia, have not been fulfilled.
Rumania was confronted with ter
rftorial and political changes menac-
Ing her future.
Rumanians in Hungary suffered op-
preston, arousing q continual state
Of animosity between the two ma
tions
Rumania desired to hasten the end
ests and realize her national unity.
The note, after defining the pur-
poses of the triple alliance, as con-
stituted prior to the war. and after
declaring that this alliance no longer
existed after Italy declared war upon
Austria Hungary reads as follows:
Rumania remained in the peace
group Of states, seeking to work in
agreement in order to assure peace
and to conserve the situation de facto
and de jure, creaetd by treaties. Ru-
mania then found herself in the pres
ence of powers making war for the
sole purpose of Transforming from top
to bottom the old arrangements which
had served as a basis for their treaty
Of alliance. These changes were for
Rumania proof that the object she
pursued in joining the triple alliance
no longer could be attained and that
she must direct her efforts in new
paths, especially as the work under
taken by Austria threatened
the interests of Rumania and her ma
tional aspirations. Consequently Ru-
mania resumed her liberty of action.
1.-THE neutrality which RumaniA im-
posed upon itself in consequence of
q declaration Of war made tndepend-
emily Of its will. and contrary to it,

interests had been adopted as the
result of the assurances that Austria.
Hungary. in declaring war against
Serbia was not inspired by spirit OF
conquest or of territorial gains. These
assurances have not been realized.
To-day we are confronted by a sit.
uation de facto threatening great ter.
ritorial transformations and political
changes Of nature constituting a
grave menace to the future of Ru.
mania. The work Of peace which
Rumania attempted to accompl In
a spirit of faithfulness to the triple
alliance. thus was rendered barren by
the very powers called upon to de-
fend 1t.

OF central powers. Rumania was fal
constituting between them a pledge
for her domestic tranquility. as well
as for the improvement of the lot OF
the Rumanians of Austria-Hungary
In fact. Germany and Italy who re-
constituted their states on the basic
principle Of nationality. could not but

dation upon which their own exist.
ences reposed.
"As for Austria Hungary she found
in the friendly relations established
between her and Runaania, assurances
of tranquility both in her interior and
on our common frontiers, for she was
bound to know to what extent the
discomfort of her Rumanian popula.
ton found echo amongst us, threat.
ened our good relations.
For q period Of thirty years, the
Rumanians Of Austria Hungary not
only never saw a reform introduced
but, instead, were treated as an in.
ferior race and condemned to suffer
the oppression Of foreign element
which constitutes only . minority

made no effort to ameliorate thes.
conditions. After two years Of the
war. Austria-Hungary showed hersel1
as prompt to sacrifice her peoples
as powerless to defend them. The
war In which almost the whole OF
Europe IL partaking raises the gravest
problems affecting the national devel-
opment and very existence of the
states.
