RUMANIA
GOES TO
WAR;, TOO

LONDON, Aug. 2S.-Berlin Of
ficially announced today that
Rumania had declared war on
Austria Sunday. The kaiser in
tends to hand the Rumanian am
bassador his passports today.
The German federal council
will meet this afternoon and will
probably declare war on Rumania
within "a hours.
Bulgaria and Turkey are ex-
pected to issue similar declara-
tons.
The French foreign office an
nounced that Bulgaria had declar-
ed war on all of the central pow
ers.
Rumania acted following a
meeting of the crown council and
King Ferdinand last night.
Rumania's army consists of
100000 men.
War will mean that the Bulgar-
ffans must leave Greece to protect
the northern border against a
Rumania invasion.
Delayed press dispatches re-
ported that Gen. Averescu, former
war minister, probably would be
made commander of the Ruman-
ian army.
Rumania's declaration makes a
total of Is warning nations.
1t may exert a tremendous
Greek influence. The Venizelos
party is holding great demonstra-
tions, demanding war.

For several days residents
We're in readiness to flee, and il
was ,only through the efforts of
the fire marshal and number of
tireless fire fighters that the fires
were controlled.
ANEW fire near Roy has been
repofted. 1t started in some old
slaslhngs. Unless a heavy wind
springs up there is no danger of
its spreading.
The drop in temperature has
relieved the danger of the fires
which have been raging through
out the western part of the state.
The fire along the Northern Pa
cific5 right of way in the Snoqual-
ME reserve is reported controlled
along the railroad track, but is
spreading back into the heavy
timber.
other fires are raging along
Money creek and on the White
chuck river in the Cascades.
Heavy fires are reported in Clal-

" E TOES
RAID ON
FORE ST
BY ellison Gardner.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. %.
President Wilson's veto of the
bill which proposed to allow cities
and townships to buy public
lands, including forest lands in
their vicinity, for parks, ceme-
teries and sewerage purposes de-
feats a subtle effort by the anti
conservation forces to begin the
destruction of the national for
ests by piecemeal methods.
The veto message makes II
clear that the president is stand
ing firmly behind the principle of
conservation.
In returning the bill to con-
gress he said that he did not be-
lieve the national forests should
be utilized in any such way.
Served No Good End.
The most serious objection, the
message emphasizes, is that the
bill subjects the national forests
to disposition under general
grant"
The fact is, of course. that any
city may cooperate with the for
est service now to secure neces-
sary privileges on the national
forests for water supply, sewer
age, park or other purposes, but
the federal government retains
the right to decide whether such
proposed use is detrimental to the
primary use of the national forest
as such.
The federal control would be
absolutely removed, had this bill
become law.
Forecasts Other Vetoes.
For some years now, ever since
the Ballinger regime and the fail
ur at that time to destroy the
conservation policy, efforts have
been quietly going on in con-
gress to slip through harmless
appearing legislation. with the
idea of destroying the national
forests by piecemeal.
The presidents action in this
case forecasts his attitude on
such big steals as the proposed
Shields waterpower grab and the
Phelan oil land grab.
These pieces OF legislation have
been postponed until next Decem-
Der, and the interests back of
them fear now that they will
never become law with the presi-
dent lined up against them.

Used her mother always TO re-

The case of Mrs. Darst has
been full of tragedy. A year ago
she was arrested for shoplifting.
1t was found that she was under
the influence of a narcotic.
Her husband had failed to sup
port her and she had left him. AS
a competent trained nurse, she
undertook the support of her
daughter.
VIII Renew Fight.
After her arrest, the Rev. Mar
ion johnson, then district super
intendent of the Children's home,
got her to sign papers releasing
her child.
She commended, and her friends
and attorneys ever since have
contended, that she knew abso-
lutely nothing of what she ! was
signing, that she was under the
influence of drugs and that an
advantage was taken of her.
The fight was taken to the
courts.
The Sunshine society and
church people aided her.
An appeal was taken from
Judge Cards decision, but suffi-
cient funds could not be raised to
carry the case to the supreme
court.
Now Burmeister says he is 60
ing to continue the fight.
Friends of the woman say she
has not touched any drugs for
months and that she is entirely
capable of caring for the child.

who fought to win back her
daughter Frances, after the

Judge Card had taken the child
from her.
Fate, the Children's Home,
drugs, the police, the courts and
adopted parents conspired a year
ago to take the little girl from
her arms.

Marion Johnson, of the Children's
Home society, had induced the
mother, while under the Influence

Although Mayor Faweett and
other citizens of Tacoma contrib
uted small sums, the fight was
lost. Judge Card turned little
Frances over to William Fletcher,

adopted her from the home.
Frantic and distracted, the
woman appealed to Attorney A.

Another
Proposal
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. rs

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. %.
President Wilson today prepar-
ed a new proposal to the rail-
roads, but still demanded the
eight-hour day.
He is willing to postpone put
ting tibet shorter day into effect
until after the federal trade COM
mission arranges all details, and
the railroads can reorganize to
meet the new conditions.
The commissions work might
delay the change for a year.
II negotiations fail, Wilson will
ask congress to pass law similar
to the Canadian disputes act.
Such a law would avert all
strikes and lockouts for a year,
pending an investigation.
He will also ask congress to
pass law providing for an eight
hour day for railway employees.
Wilson made arrangements to
visit the capitol this afternoon to
confer with the senate steering
committee to discuss the strike.
Wilson announced his inten-
lions to meet representatives of
both sides today with a hope of
settling the railroad crisis.
The railroad presidents will de-
mand arbitration, ignoring the
eight-hour day proposal
Unless the .rainnen make an
unexpected move. officials believe
a strike is imminent.
Wilson made an unprece-
denied trip to the capitol last
night to confer with Senator
Kern.
He wants the government
to seize the railroads.
The president may appeal to
the brotherhoods to postpone the
strike until legislation can be
rushed through, making a settle
ment possible without wreckine
