GERMANY ANNOUNCES BREAK
Already the Troops Of King Ferdinand
Are Seeking the Plains Of Tram
sylvania Through the Eastern Car
pathians Toward Kronstadt.

London -Rumania has thrown in her
lot with the Entente Allies by declar-
ing war on, Austria-Hungary and al
most simultaneously Germany has an
nounced that she is at war with Ru-
mania.
Already the, troops OF King Ferdi-
dinand are seeking entry into the
plains OF Transylvania through the
eastern Carpathians toward Kron-
stadt, the chief city in Transyivania,
and in the direction OF Hermannstadt,
evidently In an endeavor to press
northward through Transylvania TO-
ward the Bulkowina and Galfcia bor-
ders and to take in the rear the Austro-
Germans trying to hold back the Rus
SLAMS from entering the plains OF Hun-
gary.
Nothing has come through to indi-
cate what preparation has been made
by the Bulgarians to offset O probable
attack by the Rumanians along the
Danube front or q possible attempt
by the Russians at invasion by means
of the Danube and through Domruja
or by the Black Sea. It is estimated
that Rumania will be able to throw
nearly million men into the field.
Rumania becomes the fourteenth
nation to join in the war. Her in
tervention either on the side of the
Entente Allies or the Central Powers
has been awaited with symptoms of
concern by both since the beginning of
the great conflict This is due not en-
tirely to Rumanfa' 5 military strength,
but also to the strategic advantages of
OF her geographical position and the
fact that her entry into the struggle
opens to the Russian army gate
way through Rumania to attack Bull
garians from the north while the Allied
army, having its base at Saloniki, at
lacks them and their German Allies
from the south.
On the other hand Austria has
been accommodating military forces at
OrzOva prepared to attempt to force
the Iron Gates" where the Danube
River touches the Western Rumanian
border. Bulgaria is said to have
stationed 10000 or more troops along
the southern bank of the Danube to
protect her northern frontier from a
Rumanian invasion.

ly on prunes, Mr.. Posey said that sew
eral OF the standard sprays would be
used. These include BrdeauX mixture
lime.sulphur mixture and an atomic sur.
.phur mixture.
So far, experiments have not been
satisfactory in this climate, and accord
ing to Mr.. Posey, plans win be made to
develop q spray that win be efficient
and practical and one that will control
the disease. The three standard mix
lures have been successful in treating
brown rot in Europe and the eastern
states, but climatic conditions are diff
ferent in this valley and for tlis reason
certain tracts Of prunes win be selected
on which to experiment with different
solutions and mixtures.
Although several spraying expert
ments have been tried within the past
two years, Mr. Posey said that the
crops had not been large enough to de-
termine exactly what effect had been
produced by the spraying. During the
past two years toe weather in the val
ley has been favorable to the develop
ment Of the disease.
These experimental stations or tracts
under the care Of Prof. Posey and q. o.
Constable have nothing to do with the
experimental stations that may be es.
tablished by the government, both
fighting for the control OF the brown
rot. The work Of Mr.. Posey is direct
from the Oregon Agricultural college
While fighting fire blight last summer
in this section OF the valley, Mr., Posey
noticed several trees in which brown
rot was developing and from these OBJ.

permental tracts here this spring.
The situation was discussed this
morning between Mr.. Constable and Mr.
Posey and the experimental tracts will
be decided on within few days.

Local fans believe the Stallings stars

be more than filled by Big Edn they
are likely to come back to the form
that made them somewhat spectacular

more extensive, expensive and cOmprc-
hensive than ever before.

Shortest Fight In
History Of Ring Is
Recalled By Fahie
= **%%1

The shortest fight in the history of
the prize ring was recalled by Jack
Fahie, who handles Alex Trambitas, the
Portland bantam, when he attended the
smoker held in Salem Wednesday night.
Fahie was managed by Mysterious Billy
Smith, on March II, 1897, at Carson
City, on which date James j. Corbett
lost the heavyweight crown to Robert
Fitzsimmons. Corbett and Fitz fought
in the forenoon at IL o CLOCK and in the
afternoon Mysterious Billy Smith and
George Green were scheduled for 20
round fight, also Martin Flaherty and
Dal Hawkins were to meet in the same
ring. Both afternoon bouts were main
events though they were witnessed for
a single admission.
Flaherty and Hawkins were to go on
first and Fahie. appeared as the princi-
pal second for Flaherty, who weighed in
at 122, while Dal Hawkins weighed 128.
Hawkins refused to make any lower
weight but so confident Of victory was
the Irish boy that he gave away six
pounds for the chance to meet Haw-
kins.
When time was called the boxers
rushed at each other and both neglect
ed to feint but each lead with his left
and both missed. Their rushes carried
them into. close quarters and Hawkins
recovered his poise soonest and planted
his right flush on Flaherty's chin.
Flaherty dropped his hands to his sides
and toppled over without bending his
knees. His head hit the canvas just
four seconds after the bell hit and thus
ended the shortest fight in the history
of the pribze ring. Fahie was the last
Of Flaherty's seconds to leave the ring
after time was called and still had one
foot under the ropes when the knockout
punch landed, He saw Faherty start to
fall but was unable to reach his man
before he fell to the floor.
Flaherty was still out when Bob Arm
strong picked him up under his arm and
