Rumania's Entry Will Help

PARIS, Aug. 28.-Rumania declared
war against Austria Hungary Sunday
Eie't, according to Berne, Switzer-
lard news dispatch received in Paris
early today.
Rumania is the fourteenth nation to
enter the war, its decision having beer
anXiously anticipated during weeks
past the Central Powers hoping until
today for a continuance of neutrality
by RE Balkan state, and the Entente
Allies apparently satisfied the decision
would be to attack Austria and Ger.

portations of armys and munitions or
war into Rumania from Russia and
France, these preparations indicating
very clearly the decision which was
Auai1y
The entry of Rumania into the war
at this time is of extreme Importance,
especially as it relates to the Balkan
campaign planned by the Entente ma
tions. The armed strength of Rumania
is of little consequence to the Allies
in comparison with its strategic posi-
tion, which will enable a double at
tack to be launched against Bulgaria.
thus facilitating immensely the appar-
ent plan of the Entente nations to cut
Teutonic communications south of the
Danube, restore Serbia to the Serbs
ard effectually isolate both Bulgaria
and Turkey from German and Aus.
tr;a Another advantage that lies with
Rumanias' entry into the war is the
fact that Russian troops will now be
erabled to enlarge their field of oper
ations,. overrun Bukowina from three
sides and invade Hungary from y
point west of the Carpathians.
The Rumanian frontier joins that OF
Russia along the Black Sea coast, and
its entry into the war makes possible
Russian navigation of the Danube,
the closing a which made impossible
the sending css Russian troops to re-
Iieve Serbia. The decision to enter
the war was reached Sunday at meet
ing of the Rumanian crown council,
lifting at Bucharest, according to a
Havas dispatch from Geneva, and was
brought about the Rumania's aspira-
tions for national expansion and for
unhindered commercial intercourse
with the nations of the world through
the Dardanelles.
The Rumanian army, already par

The robbery was one of long

gained by using a crowbar to force
the lock on one of the doors. The
officers of the company have met and

"Russia's finances rest upon the
most solid foundation in the world,
said Mr.. Bark. "The economic pros
perity Of the Russian people is now
greater than was ever conceived pos
sible before the beginning Of the war.
There is nothing illusory or speeious
about Russias prosperity. 1t rests
upon the incontrovertible fact Of the
Russian peoples increased earnings
and savings. When a year ago the
savings banks showed n monthly in.

1t was regarded as phenomenal. But
that was only the beginning" Saw

greatly changed condition of Russian
