The Rumanian situation again is taking

war must be considered as proof that
Rumania has Joined the entente.
1T is supposed says this newspaper,
that plans for Russian march through
Rumanian territory were discussed. or
course Germany would regard such an
arrangement as casus belli.'
Major Moraht says in the rageoiatt;
German and Austrian ministers at
Bucharest have pointed out the conse-
quences to Rumania of granting perms-
sion to the Russians to march through
Rumanian territory. Toward us Ru-
mania must not play her sphinx tricks
so far that one day with struggling shout
ders she will place before us un fait

to take proper counter-measures.

THAT ROUMANIA is
TO JOIN ALLIES is
ALMOST CERTAINTY

London, August 21-The opening
of the allied offensive at Saloniki
has been the signal for renewed
reports that Roumania Is at last
about to throw in her lot with the
entente. These reports are more
,circumstantiai than before and
German press comments Indicates
that they are far from being de-
void of foundation. One Berlain
newspaper declares that Roumania
already had Joined the allies and
that plans are being laid for the
march of Russian army through
NouInanian territory.
The entry of Roumania into the
war ON the side of the entente
would mean the forging of another
link In the chain of foes surround
ing the central powers. The mate
rial aid which ROumania could
give would be of an important
character. She has had between
100000 and 100000 troops mObiI-
lied for nearly a year and her army
is reputed to be one of the best
equipped and trained In Europe.

sALONIKI OFFENSIVE

Paris, August 21.-A general offensive
along the entire Saloniki front was
launched today by the allies according
to a French war office statement. The
Seryians have captured the Bulgarian
first line on the left Of the battle front
but have lost the town of Banica. south
of F1orina.

In the center, at the mouth of the
great valley of the Vardar, the main
highway through Servia, violent artil-
lery action was in progress. 1t was
down this valley that the Teuton-Bul-
garian forces made their victorious ad-
vance and, according to military ex-
perts, its possession is vital to who
ever holds Servia.
ITALIANS AT SALONIKI
Reports from Saloniki say that
italian troops have landed there and
will join in the general offensive. This
If eorroborated, means that Italy has
finally decided formally to declare war

mittedly directing the Bulgarian cam.
paign. At certain points on the front
on the offensive. but London and Paris
interpret this as a move for political
purposes and not as a serious attack
against Saloniki. A desire to affect
public opinion in Rumania and to in
fluence the approaching Greek cleo
tions is the motive behind Bulgaria's
aggressive action, in the apinion of the
allied capitals.
FIGHTING AT STOKHOD
Fierce fighting continues in the re-
gion of the Stokhod on the eastern
front, where the Russian advance mem
aces Kovel and the German salient at
Pinsk. The battle on the crest of the
Carpathians also RACES, both sides
claiming minor success.
On the western front there has been
no material change in the situation
since the allies started their great at
tack Friday. German counter attacks
at several points along the British
lines, according to London, met with
no success. The Germans also have
made a powerful effort to recapture
Fleury in the Verdun sector, but Paris
reports complete repulse.
PORTUGAL ACTIVE
The repeated unofficial reports that
Portugal was about to take an active
share on the European battlefield ap-
parently are confirmed by an announce
ment from Paris that British French
military commission has been sent to
Lisbon. Dispatches from Portugal have
described military preparations of
very extensive character, but there has
been nothing to indicate the number of
men under arms.

Full Elliptic Springs
Make Easier Riding

1T is an extraordinary fact that
nine out of ten people who ride in q
jackson for the first time invariably
remark on the wonderfully easy riding
Qualities of Jackson automobiles" says
p. II. Keboch, distributor for Eastern
PENNSYLVANIA. And in every case
those most enthusiastic are veteran
drivers, for they are quick to appre-
ciate what the words easy riding
really mean. For seven years the
Jackson Automobile Company has
been giving car buyers from so to 100
per cent. more spring value than most
manufacturers deem necessary. Where
others are content with semielliptic
springs all around, or with semielliptic
in front and three-quarter elliptic
springs in the rear, all Jacksons have
had four fun elliptic springs. In other
words. we believe we are building the
easiest riding cars it is possible to
produce.
what are srpings good for unless
they absorb all the road shocks just as
far as possible? Why trim them down
to the vanishing point, and then have
to make up for the lack of them by
shock absorbers or other methods
There is no reason whatever except
| fashion and custom. Just as a tailor
thinks three-button sack for a man
who wants a business suit, so the
| average designer of a car has been
! taught to think semielliptic springs.
The question of springs should never
be a question of style any more than
the question of aXles should be a ques-
ton of style. Your car should have
the springs that do the most toward
absorbing road shocks before they
reach the mechanism or the passen-
gers. And no one will have the
temerity to deny that full elliptic
! springs properly adapted to the weight
! and power of the car afford the ideal
/ spring suspension. And that's the rea-
/ son why Jackson cars always ride
/ easily"
