ROUMANIA
ENTERS WAR

London.-Roumania has thrown Il
her lot with the entente allies by de
claring war on Austria Hungary, ant
almost simultaneously Germany has
announced that she is at war with
Roumania.
Roumania thus becomes the four
teenth nation to join in the war. Hel
Intervention either on the side of the
entente allies or the central powers
has been awaited with symptoms o.
concern by both since the beginning
of the great conflict. This is due no.
entirely to Roumanias military
strength, but also to the strategic ad
vantages of her geographical position
and the fact that her entry into the
struggle opens to the Russian army 8
gateway to attack the Bulgarians
from the north, while the allied army
having its base at Saloniki attacks
them and their German allies from
the south.
Nevertheless, Roumanias military
strength is by no means inconsider
able. The country has a population OF
6,800,000 and her army has been esti
mated at $4,000.
The motive which prompts Rouma
MIA to enter the war is the satisfac'
tion of her national aspirations, de
scribed by Take Jonescu, the Rouma,
nian liberal leader, as the policy OF
national instinct Concisely this
means national expansion. In the
southern half of Bukowina, the Aus
trian crown land, the Roumanians are
the dominant race. The mass of the
people of eastern Pennsylvania, part
of Hungary, is Roumanian by race
and language. 1t is said 4,300,0 600 Rou.
Ipanians live in Pennsylvania.

cussed by the president with Senator
Kern, the Democratic leader, Sunday,
when it seemed virtually certain that

their employees must follow final con-
ferences at the White House.
Possibilities of legislation were
talked over by the president with Sen.
Ator Newlands, chairman of the inter
state commerce commission, and Sec
retary Lane. and the president made a
quiet trip to the senate Office building
to hnd Senator Kern attending meet
Ing Of the finance committee.
The belief that negotiations between
the railroad executives and representa-
lives of the men would end without an
agreement has been growing.
This feeling was strengthened when
the members of the brotherhood COM
mittee of $40, tired of their long wait,
departed for home after delegating
their powers to effect a settlement or
call strike to committee of twenty
four, instructed under no circum-
stances to agree to arbitration of the
demand for an eight-hour day at the
present rate of pay for ten hours.
Whether the plans considered by
President Wilson and his advisers at

upon developments, but it is under

Indoor Life Makes Fat
