RUMANIA MUST ACT
1ehefal Tone of Press Is That Mo-
 ment Has Arrived for Decisive Step
 Gould Mobilize More Than ROO 900.

Paris, Aug. 22, GAO a. m.-An the morning newspapers comment at length on the possibility of Rumania joining in the war. The meetings that are in progress in Bucharest are taken to mean that all the various de- Velopments in the situation are being anMOusly considered and the general tone of the comment is that the de- cisiVe moment for Rumanias action has arrived.
 The operations of the Bulgar rian armies in Macedonia are interpreted in some quarters as having been un- dertaken solely with view to in f1uencing the decision of Rumania On all sides it is agreed that a new phase in Balkan history is opening, and the discussion by the press of the various diplomatic phases of the Rumanian situation is followed by an examination of the strength of the Rumanian army.
 The statement is made on good au- thority that the number of Rumanian troops that can be mObilized exceeds S00,00O, and that the army is in the best condition after a long prepara- ton.

RUSSIANS IN GREECE
 FOR BALKAN FIGHT
Politicians Stunned by News Which Dispels Their Dreams of
 Great Nation. .

Athens Monday, Aug. 21, D. m. via London Aug. 22, 1925 D. m.-(De- 1ayed by Censor. )--An initial briga de of Russian troops has arrived at Sal Oniki to join the entente allies in the fighting in the Balkans.
 The arrival of the Russians has created profound impression here. Even the royalists, who have con- sistently opposed participation in the war by Greece on the side of the en- tente allies seemed almost stunned by the news that Russian troops had ar rived to take part in the campaign which under other conditions might have been taken by the Greek army.
 The general feeling here is that the bringing in of Russian troops has dispelled definitely the dream of a greater Greece which was conceived a year and a half ago by the then Premier Venizelos, who carried Greece well on the way toward entrance in the war with the e1fcsnte allies.
 It is regarded as possible that the presence of Russian forces in Mace donia will effect a change in the at titude of Bulgaria.
 In some quarters irritation is dis played at the recent foreign policy of the Greek govern m ent, which is said to have overlooked the interests of this nation.

ITALY SENDS GREAT
 ARMY TO SALONIKI
contingent Dispatched for Balkan Campaign Reported to Be of Im-
 portant Proportions.

Paris, Monday, Aug. 21, 4:35 D. m. The Italian contingent of troops landing at Saloniki Is of important proportions, according to information here. In addition the Temps in its review of the military situation today alludes to the presence of Russian troops along the Vardar river, which if confirmed, would make five allied cont1ngents engaged in the entente campaign in the Balkans
 The announcement of the landing of Italian troops at Saloniki is re- garded here as deeply significant. in d1cating an important reinforcement of the already large army of the en- tente allies composed mainly of French, British and Serbian troops. The Italian movement also is con- strued as shoWng that comprehensiye political agreements have been ar understood Italy withheld from par ucipation in the Balkan campaign out of consideration for Greek sensibilities over the predominance of their in- f1uenCe in the eastern Mediterranean.
 The participation of the Italians in the Balkan campaign also is con- sidered another evidence of the inter national spirit prevailing among the allies and Is compared to the sending of the Russian contingents to France By this movement the allies are dis tr1buting their effectives far beyond their own borders.

BUCHAREST COOLER
First Intimation That Bulgarian Army Has MObilizcd-MOre Ammunition from Allies Reported Arriving.

Berlin, Monday, Aug. 21, via Lon don, Aug. 22, 1920 D. m.-The Buda- pest Az Est, which is usually we'll in formed in the Rumanian situation, to- day prints a despatch from its Bucharest correspondent saying that the agitation for war, which in the last few days has been at fever heat has suddenly cooled down. It is stated that possibly the end of the mobilization is responsible for the change if not the serious words ut ent phase reached a critical stage)
 (This is the first hint of Ruman- ian mobilization that has been per mitted to pass the allied censorship. Almost nothing has come through since the Balkan situation in it's pres ent phase reached a rrit1cal stage.)
 The Bucharest despatch adds that there is no doubt that Premier Brati- ano has reached an understanding with the entente so that further ne gOtiations are unnecessary now for actual participation in the war. Mean while, the semi official Rumanian press is savagely attacking the con- servative organs which undertook to discuss mobilization and related measures.
 
 Russia is asserted to be arriving.
 The white heat of discussion in Bucharest political circles is now de- clared to be subsiding, despite the all legged imminence of the final step. This is asserted to be due to the failure of the Russians to keep up their recent successes and the proximity of Field Marshal Von Hindenburg to the Ru- manian border.

QUICKSAND FOUND
Five Feet Below the Foundation of PrevocatiOnaI Grammar School Not Available for Some Time.

Not Available for Some Time.
 It became known this afternoon that the Prevocational school will not be available for class room pur- poses next month. Cracks, which ap- peared in various parts of the walls, led to an investigation a short time ago and the foundation was found to have sunk. The investigation also disclosed the fact the matter would have to be attended to at once and the contract was awarded to the Foundation company of New York. Employes of that concern are now at work and the job may prove of greater magnitude than at first supposed.
 About five feet below the present foundation, according to one familiar with the situation, quicksand has been found. The men were also hampered by water oozing forth, when the level of the present foundation was reached. Huge piles will be driven, but at pres ent it is impossible to determine their length This work will have to be done completely around the building and under the framework of the lower floor. Although a good start has been made, 1t will be a long time before the building will be absolutely safe it is said.

New Britain herald., 1916-08-22

Berlin, Aug. 22, (By wireless to Say ville) The text of the German statement on the recent fighting in the North Sea follows:
 'The German admiralty states that the British admiralty's report of Au- gust 21 in regard to the ramming of a German submarine is correct. The German submarine had destroyed a small British cruiser of the Chatham class, which was in tow, when a Brit ish destroyer attempted to ram her and damaged her slightly. The sub- marine returned safely to port. The British report that another German submarine was destroyed can be passed on only when all submarines have reported.
 "The British attempt to deny that a British destroyer was destroyed and that damages were inflicted on Brit ish battleship have been disposed of already by the German report of Aug. 20, which holds good in all particulars. Furthermore, the British report that the German high seas fleet retrcated before the British high seas forces is certainly a product of imagination, as no such British forces made an ap- pearance."
