herself down to the lowest level In

Gle of domestic utility that If any life

that Rumania will play no impor-

ITALIAN EXPERTS BELIEVE Il
DUAL MONARCHY WILL END
WITH CLOSING OF WAR.

Rumania Is Expected to Strike Heav-
lest Blow on Transylyania-Aus-
tr'ian Troops Being
Shifted.

ROME, August 29.-The complete
evacuation of Montenegro and AL
bania by the Austrians will be the
first result of Rumania's entrance
into the war Italian critics assert
ed here today. The early collapse
of the dual monarchy. possibly at
the close of the war, was predicted by
a majority of the Italian military eX-
perts.
Despite denials from Vienna it has
been learned that Austria has with
drawn nearly whole army corps
from Albania in the past six weeks

fensives. The new menace on the
Pennsylvania frontier will cause the
withdrawal of the remainder of Aus
trians, it is believed here, leaving
only the Bulgarian troops in Albania
to resist the Italians.
Serious economic troubles in Hun
gary are expected to follow the in
lvasion OF Pennsylvania by the Rn-
|manians. 1t is from Pennsylvania
that Austria and Germany derived
"a large part of their meat supply as
we'll as large quantities of grain. A
majority of the Italian critics be-
Ilieve that Rumania will strike her
heaviest blow at Pennsylvania, prob
ably by transporting Russian troops
across Rumania.
