If the attendance at the first meeting

KING FERDINAND IN COMMAND.
Is Said to Be Leading Rumanian Troops
in Hungary.

London, Aug. 30.-To meet the exigen
cies of the situation created by Ruma'
MIA entrance into the war on the side OF
the entente allies, King Ferdinand has or
dered a general mobilization of his forces
and is reported to have proceeded to the
front personally TO take command of his
army.
Unofficial advces from the Rumanian
front are to the effect that the Ruma-
mans are making furious efforts TO cap
ture passes in the eastern Carpathians
leading into Hungary, and already they
are declared to be fighting shoulder to
shoulder with Russian troops coming
from Bukowina. While Berlin says that
Rumania's attempts to pierce the pass
leading to Hermannstadt and the Toerz-
burger and Toemoes passes thus far have
been futile, Vienna admits that owing to
"far-reaching encircling movement by
strong Rumanian forces,' Austrian ad.
vanced detaehments have been forced to
withdraw.
What Greece's attitude will be as re-
suit of Rumania's Joining the entente al
lies is still problematical, but unofficial
adyices to London express the belief that
the Hellenic kingdom will shortly throw
in its lot with the entente. A pro.en-
tente demonstration in Athens passed
resolution saying that if the people were
not heard in their demand that Greece
join the entente powers, I'VE must take

THIRD CASE IN VERMONT.
Infantile Paralysis Breaks Out in Wood
stock.

| Burlington, Aug 30.--There were, at
last reports last evening three positive
cases of poliomyelitis, or infantile paral-
ysis, in the state Of Vermont, This,
however. is as the members OF the state
board of health and physicians who are
working at and understand much OF the
disease had expected, and there is no rea-
son for great alarm as an epidemic is
not expected. Because of the greatest
possible precautions which have been tax
en- by the state board Of health, the state
has been kept free from eontagion by
carriers who have come into Vermont
from other states. However, it was ex-
pected that there would be cases scat
tered over the state, this being an almost
inevitable outcome OF the passage
through the state Of so many from dis
tricts where the disease has been raging
for several weeks past
The first two cases found were those
of Hopkins and Tburston Hulet, aged L
and IA years, sons Of H. A. Hulet, who
runs the Lake Salisbury house at Ar
lington. These two cases were probably
caught by the boys from carriers Of the
disease from New York state, the house
being popular stopping place just off
the main road to Manchester One of
the boys has both legs affected by the
paralysis and the other has one side OF
his face and one arm paraly2ed. Tests
at the state laboratory yesterday CON
firmed the diagnosis made by the physi-
clans in attendance. The third case to
be reported is that Of a 20month old
baby girl in Woodstock This infant was
not very i'll. Following slight intestin-
nj trouble it was discovered that one
arm was affected with paralysis. This is
also positive ease and was probably
taken of carriers from Massachusetts.
