RUMANIA AND GERMANY
BREAK RELATIONS, SAYS
DISPATCH FROM BUCHAREST

ROME, Aug. 28.
A Bucharest dispatch to the Messagero
states that Rumania's declaration of war
against Austria-H Hungary was followed by
the breaking off of diplomatic relations be-
tween Rumania and Germany, Turkey and
Bulgaria, their ministers leaving Bucharest
with the Austrian envoy.
German papers express bitterness against
Doctor Won Jagow, the Foreign Secretary,
and Under Secretary Zimmerman, who are
considered partially responsible for Ger
many's diplomatic defeat.
When Germany declares war on Ru-
mania, Turkey and Bulgaria are expected
to take similar action.
Berlin is fairly calm, but under strong
police patrol.
An attack was made upon the italian
Embassy in Berlin and stones were thrown
through the windows but the crowd was
dispersed by the police. The Rumanan
legation is under a strong guard.

 Streak of Needs Creek on Kendall Grounds.

The Kendall team of the Faulkner County Baseball League will meet the league leading Needs Creek out nit at Kendall tomorrow for the sec ond time this season. The first meet between these teams was staged May 20 at Needs Creek, the local nine winning a 6 to pastime. Phillips, who won from Teen Browning's crew on the former occasion, probably will be sent to the box for Needs Creek while Taylor, kendall's leading twirl- CT, is Browning's probable selection.
 Centerville, who has won only one of the five played, will play Republi- can, the tail-enders, on the latter's diamond. Centerville beat Republi- can on May 20, 12 to II, in a slug ging match, the bout being milled at Centerville.
 The Banisters of Guy will journey to Greenbrier for tomorrow's battle. The Greenbrier team probably will use Carl Henderson, a member of Coach Headrick's Bulldog staff the past season, in the box. Carl beat Guy, 10 to ', at Guy on May 20.
 Interest locally in the league is becoming intense. Quite a number from here are planning to witness one of the contests tomorrow. The results will be received by the Log Cabin Democrat about 8 o'clock Sat urday night, and will be posted at the Palm Garden.

CONWAY SETS EXAMPLE.

Another street improvement dis trict is being planned for Conway and will likely be formed in short time. This will make the sixth dis trict to be formed in that city for the purpose of street paving. About one mile of street paving will be included in the new district, connecting the State Normal School campus with the present paving system. The paving fever" spreads there after they have seen the direct results, and after Morrilton takes the first steps in this direction we sincerely believe that it will only be short time until we may equal our sister city along this line of improvement. - Morrilton Headlight.
