RUMANIA SIDES WITH ALLIES
King Ferdinand's Government De-
ciares War on Austria-Hungary-
HostiIities Have Already Begun.

London, Aug. 29.-Rumania has
thrown in her lot with the entente
allies by declaring war on Austria
Hungary and almost simultaneously
Germany has announced that she is at
war with Rumania.
Already the troops of King Ferdi-
nand are seeking entry into the plains
of Pennsylvania through the Eastern
Carpathians toward Kronstadt, the
chief city in Pennsylvania, and in the
direction of Hermannstadt, evidently
in an endeavor to press northward
through Pennsylvania toward the
Bukowina and Galicia borders and to
take in the rear Austro-Germans try
ing to hold back the Russians from
entering the plains of Hungary.
Nothing has come through to indi-
cate what preparation has been made
by the Bulgarians to offset a probable
attack by the Rumanians along the
Danube front or possible attempt by
the Russians at invasion by means OF
the Danube and through Doberuja or
by the Black sea. 1t is estimated that
the effective strength of the army
which can be modified by Rumania
is about 100000 men, including ten
regiments of Red Hussars and ten of
Black Hussars with artillery aggregat-
ing 480 seventy-five millimeter guns,
$50 field guns belonging to the re-
serve and a number of heavy guns.
The BuIgars Are Losing Ground.
Paris, Aug. 29.-Important fighting
has been in progress on the Mace
DOMAIN front, according to the war Of
flee announcement tonight. The Ser
bian, French and British troops have
made substantial gains at various
points. West of Kavala, the Bulgar-
ians have occupied regions abandoned
by the Greeks. The statement adds:
Contrary to the Bulgarian commu-
nication of the twenty-sixth, Serbian
troops, far from having suffered de-
feat in the region OF Kukuruz. have
made an important advance and re-
peatedly have defeated the enemy"
German attacks on Fleury, in the
verdun sector, today were repulsed-
A further advance for the French in

Most Profitable "Ad."

Do you know what was the largest
harvest ever reaped from an adver-
tiSement?
1t was the settlement in Pennsyi-
vania of 100000 German colonists.
We know that at Germantown, this
city. was made the first German settle
pent in America. We also know that
in fifty years double that many thou
sand Germans came to William PENIS
colony.
Furthermore, history tells us that
wars and religious prosecutions in
Germany caused this then unparalleled
exodus of men and women
But what brought them to Pennsyl-
vania and so made of this the German
commonwealth? An advertisement

MORE TROOPS TO TIE BORDER
Ohio, Kentucky and Vermont Guards
men Ordered From Mobilization
Camps to Rio Grande.

Washington, Aug. 29.-Some 1900
men of Ohio, Vermont and Kentucky
national guard regiments still held in
state mobilization camps were direct
ed by the war department today to
proceed to the Mexican border. The
department revoked suspension of an
order for their movement issued two
weeks ago. All the regiments will go
forward to join General Funstoa's
command as rapidly as transportation
can be supplied. Some units are on
the move tonight
There remain approximately 1900
guardsmen scattered through many
states who are not affected by today's
order. They also were under orders
for the border two weeks ago but the
suspension so far has not been re-
voked for them.
The original order sending south
ward all troops called into the federal
service was issued by the war depart
ment in order that the division units
along the international line might be
filled up, and also that those regi-
ments which were not ready to go in
the first rush might share in the train
ing as soon as they could be fully
equipped. When the railway strike
situation became threatening General
Funston recommended that the whole
movement be held up, as the supply
difficulty, in case of a rail tieup,
would be complicated by the addition
of $4,000 men to his command
The department now has decided
that the strike situation may continue
unchanged for some time. The Off
GERS are anxious to complete the di-
visiona1 organization on the border in
order that full advantage may be
taken of the opportunity to train a
large number of men. 1t has also been
concluded, it is said, that the supply
difficulty can be met, even in case
of strike
Ell Paso, Tex, Aug. 29.-Camps have
been prepared here for thirty regi-
ments in addition to the 10000 ma
tional guardsmen and regulars now on
station in the Ell Paso districts.

the audience of 10000 arose, with the
exception of many old veterans whose
infiTmities prevented their salute to
the flag and national anthem.
George w. Fuller. chairman of the
citizens committee, turned over the
meeting to Captain Elias R. Monfort,
commander-in-chief of the G. A. R.,

Governor Arthur Capper. Governor
Capper welcomed the old veterans to
both Kansas Citys.
Old Boys Were Attentive.
Although the speeches began at s
o'clock and did not end until HIS
O'Clock, the great majority of the vet
Grams who had been on the go all day
remained steadfastly throughout.
While the speaking was going on no
noise disturbed and as each speaker
concluded there was applause and
rocking of feet.
Only once during the program did
the veterans break the silence, and
that most emphaticaIly, when Cover
nor Arthur Capper of Kansas inadver-
tently referred to reports that this
might be the last encampment."
"Oh. mol No. sir. Moot" The
shouts came from all parts of the
arena floor, where the veterans were
seated Governor Capper gracefully
covered up the remark and resumed
his speech, receiving later the great
est applause of all, when he said that
if he had a suggestion to make to Kan
sas City. it would be that it wipe out
the abominable saloons"
Addresses OF welcome were deliv-
cred by William HI. Wormstead, com
mander. department of Missouri, and
by Commander-in-Chief Monfort The
rest of the program consisted of greet
ings by heads of organizations and re
sponses.

In Speech to Congress Presi-
dent Calls for Legislation
to Prevent Strike.
SITUATION A NATIONAL CRISIS
Chief Executive Points Out Necessity
of Permanent and Prompt Action
Danger in Delay.

Washington, Aug. 30.-As a dra.
matte climax to his unprecedented ne
gotiations to avert the railroad strike
President Wilson this afternoon, be-
fore a joint session of Congress, urged
legislation ito safeguard the life and
interests of the Nation
He said he urged the legislation
mot in haste or merely as a means
of meeting a present emergency, but
as permanent and necessary addition
to the law, suggested, indeed, by cir
cumstances we had hoped never to
see, but imperative as well as just, if
such emergencies are to be prevented
in the future"
What MIR. Wilson Asked.
The President recommended:
Immediate provision for the enlarge
ment and administrative reorganiza-
ton of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, enabling the commission to
deal with the duties now developing
upon it with a promptness and thor
oughness which are with its present
tically impossible"
Establishment of an S-hour day as
the legal basis, alike of work and of
wages in the employment of all rail-
road employees engaged in operating
trains in interstate transportation
The time for the institution of this
law is to be determined by Congress.
The President suggested no date.
Authorization of the appointment by
the President of commission to
study results in the application of the
S-hour day to railroad operation, alike
for the men and for the roads the
investigators to report to Congress at
the earliest possible date but without
recommendation as to legislative ac-
ton.
Approval by Congress of considera-
ton by the Interstate Commerce
Commission of freight rate increases
to meet such additional expenditures
by the roads as are rendered neceS-
sary by adoption of the 8-hour day.
Asks Compulsory Investigation.
Amendment of the federal law which
provides for the mediation. concilia-
ton and arbitration of such contro-
versies as the present by adding a
provision that in case methods of ac-
commodation now provided should
fail, a full public investigation shall

Empowering the President in case
OF military necessity to take control
of such parts and rolling stock of the
railways as may be required for mill
tary use and to operate them for mill
tary purposes with authority to draft
into the military service of the coun-
try such train crews and administra-
tive officials as circumstances require.
To Police All Their Tracks.
Washington, Aug. 3O.-Railroad
presidents were hurrying back to their
headquarters tonight determined to
break the impending strike, should
Congress fail to prevent it.
Provision has been made to police
every mile of track and yards of all
the greater systems where the broth
erhoods are particularly strong. No
general agreement was reached today
on the question of embargoes. With
varying conditions each road was ex-
pected to act for itself.

ART TREASURES IN SAFETY
Priceless Tapestries and Paintings
Were Removed From Paris When
the German Army Advanced.

M. Henri Marcel, French director
general of national museums has Just
reported to the government details of
the transfer to Toulouse Of the art
treasures of the Paris Louvre. says the
st. Louis Post.Dispatch.
The occasion of the report was popu-
lar rumors that some of the most val
liable paintings had been scratched or
otherwise damaged.
NJ. Marcel relates how he had OPP
posed the governments order to re-
move the treasures at the time OF Won
Kluck's drive to within twenty miles
from Paris, and how he finally consent
ed to pack them. as we'll as the most
famous tapestries OF Reims, Chantilly
and Compiegne.
Each painting was wrapped in oven.
dried wax paper, with a layer Of cotton
over 1t back and front; special boxes
were made with copper spirals holding
the frames in position and protecting
them against sudden shocks. And final
ly 900 of the most valuable paintings,
with an even number OF less value,
were taken to a special train in the
Midi station; the cars were padded
thickly; two guards were in each car.
That train. says the report. carried
over s200,000,000 worth OF treasures.
Arrived at Toulouse, the most seri.
Gus operation, that Of unpacking, was
successfully undertaken in the pres
ence Of the entire Louvre board, and
each item was checked in after
thorough examination. Not one pic
ture suffered on the way or in pack
ing or unpacking; and all are stored
in an "indestructible" building. which
has been tested as to dryness; in fact
is under continual surveillance. so that
harm cannot come to the pictures OF
tapestries.
They are not now on exhibition, but
only stored for safety. Mr.. Marce
thinks that it would be quite safe tc
take them back to Paris now, "as they
will never be disturbed there now.
General Galieni however, the military
| commander of Paris, has refused per
mission to bring them back before the
end of the war.
The works of sculpture and minol
pictures have not been removed from
the Louvre; and since March 1 tn,
gallery is open to the public daily, ex
cept Sundays and Mondays. But th'
military authorities have insisted OF
getting ready places of safety even To-
the remaining art stores, which can b,
