Steps to Abate lnfantile
Paralysis.

SPRINGFIELD, H., Aug. 2S.-The
state board today announced the list
of counties and townships which 1t

dread disease until October 1, when
it is expected to abate.

ported today to have appeared at the
following places: Streator, two; neal

ITALY HAS ALSO MADE DECLARATION
Rumanians Will Probably Join Russians in In
vasion Of Hungary Where There is Some
Long Coveted Land.

PARIS, Aug. .28.-Rumania today
declared war on the central powers,
following a meeting of the Rumanian
crown council, according to dis
patches received here today.
The crown council went in session
Immediately. after a meeting Of rep
resentatives of the leading Rum an
ian political parties, former prime
ministers and cabinet members and
Rumanian hnanciers.
The purpose Of this meeting was
to acQuaint King Ferdinand with pub
lie sentiment in Rumania.
1t is reported in delayed press
dispatches that General Ayerescu,
former minister of war. Will be named
commander OF the Rumanian army.
IThe latest advices from Buch-
Arrest. all censored. reported that
the Rumania crown council would
meet today. and furthermore reported
the continuation Of preparations for
war.
Budapest advices to tie London
Morning Post today quoted pro-Ger-
man paper in Bucharest as authority
for the statement that the Rumanian
prime minister had finally decided TO
abandon neutrality and cast the
Rumanian lot with the allies. Italy's
declaration Of war on Germany yes
terday may have influenced the
Rumanian declaration.
1t was generally understood that
Rumania planned to enter the war
with Italy In May 1915, but the
severe defeat Of the Russians at
about that time made it seem prac-
tically certain that a declaration Of
war would be followed by an. inva-
sion of Rumania by Austro-G German
armies.
Rumania's formal entrance into the
war makes a total of fifteen nations
now engaged. 1t is possible Rumania's S
decision may exert tremendous in
fuence on Greece, where the Vent
Eelos pro-war party held great demon
strations yesterday.
Though the allied censorship on
Balkan news has been very strict for
several weeks, wireless advices from
Berlin indicated uneasiness in the
German capital over the progress of
the diplomatic battle being waged ut
Bucharest. 1t was plain that Germany
feared Rumania would decide to join
the allies after Russia lad swept
through the Austrian crown land OF
Bukowina and while the allies were
preparing for great offensive In the
Balkans.
The immediate effect of the
Rumanian declaration, in all proba-
bility, will be to cause the e1riv
withdrawal Of the Bulgarian forces
that invaded Greece to protect the
Bulgarian northern frontie: against
Rumanian invasion. The Rumanians
presumably will form a junction with
the Russians operating in Bukowina

A New Proposal.
[By Robert J. Bender. United Press
STAFF COrresponient
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Prest-
dent Wilson today presented q new
proposition to the railroads OF the
country by which he hopes to avert
the threatened final break between
the roads and the railroad brother
hoods and the inevitable Industrial
crisis that would follow.
It was this new plan Of the presi-
dents, 1t became known this after.
room that resulted in defering the
conference with the railway presi-
dents scheduled for 10 o'clock at the
white house. 1t was likely to defer
this conference again beyond the hour
2:3O, the new time set, it was fndf-
Gated. It has become apparent the
president did not intend to hear the
so-called final terms Of the railway
heads, while he considered there was
possibility of obtaining radical
changes In the terms.
II the present effort fails, the prest
dent will appeal to congress and II
possible secure the passage OF two
laws that will delay and POSSIBLY
avert the threatened strike, and pre-
vent recurrence of such situation.

equipped army of nearly 100000 men

OF the actual fighting value of the
modern Rumanian army nothing defi-
note can yet be told as it has never
been put to the test. During the two
recent Balkan wars, Rumania, of all
the Balkan states. alone Fept out Of
the struggle.
The organization. and equipment of
the Rumanian army has been praised
by many experts. Rumania's military
service il obligatory on all able
bodied men between 21 and As years

try $4,000 new. soldiers a year and
enables Rumania, out Of a population
OF 100000, to muster an army of
over half million. Although Ruma-
nian youths liable for military service
do not begin duty until they are
twenty-one years Of age. as a matter
of fact they are at the disposal of
the minister of war after their nine

nineteen until they are twenty-one,

During the first seven years of mill

REASON FOR THE MOVE

Staff Correspondent
ROME, Aug. 2S.-Italy declared
war on Germany because Germany
sent both land and sea forces to the
aid of Austria, enabling her to con-
centrate her maximum efforts against
Italy, said an official statement is
sued here today.
A similar statement was forwarded
to the German foreign Office through
the Swiss government, setting forth
the reason for the declaration of
war yesterday.
Excepting the capture of Goritz, no
event of several months has so STIR
red the Italian public as the news of
Italys challenge to the kaiser. News
paper extras flashed the word to
the Sunday holiday crowds and an
enormous crowd quickly gathered in
Piazza Clonna.
A great procession formed and
paraded through the principal streets,
shouting down with Germany" and
'Iong live the allies" until midnight.
The declaration of war against Ger
many followed by but few hours a
royal decree confiscating the historic
Pabazzo Di Venezia, which for CEN
turtles had constituted virtually an
Austrian province in the heart Of
Rome.
The Palazzo, square OF land with
two ancient palaces, was the property
Of the pope, but in 1852 was pre-
scented to the republic of Venice by
Pope Plus ". It later came into the
possession of Austria and was the
home of the Austrian embassy. The
embassy documents were sent to the
vatican for safe keeping.
Will Have no Influence.
BERLIN, Aug. 2S.-Italy's declara'
ton of war against Germany will have
no influence at all upon the military
situation, German military critics de-
clared today.
They dismissed Italy's action light
ly, pointing out that General Cadorna
has been unable to make important
progress in fifteen months fighting
against the Austrians and that he
will scarcely have any more success
If he sends troops to other fronts to
oppose the Germans.

HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
By FRANCES MARSHALL
Economical Vegetable Buying.

Experience is the best teacher of mar
keting, as any young housekeeper will
attest And experience is an interesting
teacher. We can most OF US find enter
tainment in our failures and most Of US
have sense enough to profit by these
same failures. But experience is an ex-
pensive teacher. Therefore, whatever In
formation we are able to gather as a re-
suit OF the experience OF others, is an
economical acquisition, and should be
welcomed.
Now. as to marketing for vegetables.
Here are some bits OF the experience Of
others that may help the novice at mar
keung to save money and disappoint-
ment
Always remember that most vegetables
are entirely different in bulk cooked than
raw. Potatoes, OF course, or asparagus
are about the same II is easy to tell
how much to allow to each person. Green
corn, too, easily counted by ears, is not
puzzling to the housekeeper when she
markets.
But consider spinach. A huge basket
of spinach reduces, when boiled, to about
enough for two.
Squash, too, especially OF the summer
variety boils down to only a small part
Of its raw bulk. The pods of peas and
lima beans must be discounted when
buying these vegetables. And so II goes.
The housekeeper must know each vegets-
Bile when she buys It, or else she will buy
the wrong amount.
1t never pays TO buy vegetables that
are marked down because they are Of in
ferior quality. II does pay, however, to
buy vegetables that are inexpensive be-
cause they are in season. Vegetables
forced in q hothouse always cost more
than the seasonal vegetables raised out
of doors. and the economical buyer tries
to furnish a varied and tempting table
with seasonal vegetables.
Always buy a little more than the min
imum amount needed, for somebody
may arrive at meal time. The left
overs of almost all vegetables can be
used in salad, and what cannot be
used in salad can be used in soup.
There is almost nothing that cannot
be used in soup. Squash, really, can
not, but squash can be made into muf-
fms The versatile cook will always
find a tempting method Of serving up
leftover vegetables.
Remember when you are mastering
the art or business Of buying veEe-
tables that you cannot run your house
