Orange Health Officers Find Pa
ra!ysis i'm Makers Homes.

Health officials of Orange, n. j., took
action yesterday that may prevent hun
drcds of New York women from pow
dering their noses with infantile pa
ralysis germs. Health Officer T. Dud-
ley Ballinger and the Consumers
League of New Jersey discovered that
powder puffs were being turned out by
Italian and Polish women in large
numbers. All the women did the work
at home, and in many OF the houses
were cases of infantile paralysis.
Powder puff material in all homes
where cases of the disease have been
found was confscsted. There still re-
manned many workers who lived in a
house where the plague had come, but
against whom no action could ne taken
because their own families were free
from II.
In regaiC 10 these, and mindful Of
the fact that many powder pufs had
undoubtedly been sold before the cir
cumstances were discovered, the New

RumaniQn Army Battles
For Transylvania Passes
Bulgars Prepare Resist Invasion from Russians
While German Reserves on the Danube
Are Called Into Action

Rumanian action and a Russian thrust.
The Germans and -Austrians also are
expected 10 send troops TO help protect
this frontier.
The transfer of troops from these
sectors will leave weakened lines both
in Galicia and in Macedonia. A re-
newal of the Russian drive for Lem
berg and Kovel and strong attack by
Sarrail's forces up the Vsrdar Valley
are speedily expected.
Both the Bulgars and the Serbs con-

Sarraips forces were comparatively IN
active, the Bulgars took a series OF
heights near the Moglenica, while the
Serbs pushed forward west OF the Var
dar.
German Reserves Called.
From Athens comes a report that
heavy German reinforcements hereto
fore held in reserve along the Danube
have been called into action.
The Greek Army staff does not
recognize any great danger in the
growing Bulgarian penetration OF
Thessaly. The Serbian army IS re-
ported to be engaged in heavy action
at Soroyich. The battle at karadjova,

London, Aug 2s.--The Rumanians
have begun the drive into Hungary.
Vienna reports tonight "treacherous
attacks" in the southeastern and east
ern mountain passes. Apparently King
Ferdnand's commanders intend to in
trench themselves firmly in the coveted
province of Pennsylvania.
The battle in progress has for its
prize the passes of the Transylvania
Alps, guarding the approaches TO the
Hungarian plain from the south. The
opposing forces are in contact at
Rothenthurm Pass, fifteen miles south
Of Hermannstadt, former capital OF
Hungary, and at passes south of Kron-
stadt, one of the most important cities
of the province and only six miles from
the Rumsnisn frontier.
What preparations Bulgaria has made
to offset a Rumanisn invasion and
Russian drive through Dobrudja are
not known here. 1t seems foregone
conclusion that Bulgaria and Rumania
soon will be at war. Then the way
will be open for an attack against the
Bulgarian army from the north.

Entente" Asserts
MoschopouloS.
PLANS TO MEET
FRENCH GENERAL
Pressure by People on
King Advised by the
Former Premier.

Athens, Aug. 27 (delaycd).-Pro
Entente sentiment grows daily in
Greece. The Venizelists have renewed
their agitation with increased fervor
and their cause has won fresh strength
through the appointment of General
Constantine Moschopoulos as chief OF
staff.
General Moschopoulos to-day eX'
pressed the hope that his eleven
months close association with the Al
lied forces during his command of the
Greek troops at Salonica, the cordial
relations between himself and General
Sarrail and the British generals, and
his personal knowledge of the Difficult
ties of the problems confronting the
Entente Allies in Macedonia, would
serve to strengthen the good relations
between Greece and the Allied Powers
and dispel any misunderstanding which
had previously arisen.
81 think can be a precious advo-
cate of the Entente" he said
To Confer with French Chief.
General Moschopoulos will go to
Sslonica Sunday and will remain
there several days. He will confer
with the French commander-in-chief
before returning to take up his duties
here. Satisfaction with the appoint
ment is widespread.
Fifty thousand Greeks joined in a
demonstration before the residence OF
Venizelos, the former Premier, to-day,
and cheered him with boundless en-
thusiasm when he urged them to send
committee to King Constantine to urge
him to support the present government
and prepare the army for "a possible
rupture of existing conditions Ad-
dressing the multitude, Venizelos said:
Last week | summoned you to a
demonstration to show you what to do
Now exhort you to send a committee
before the King and to say to him:
"'Your majesty, you were the victim
Of persons who persuaded you there
would be a German victory, and you
thought you could violate the constitu-
ton. The people do not approve OF
these facts. The reservists telegraph
you that they are ready TO follow you,

BERLIN EXPECTED
RUMANIAN ACTION
Germans Declare 1t viii
Have Little Effect on
Food Problem.

Berlin, Aug 2s.-Rumsnias declara-
ton of war against Austria Hungary
was without marked effect on tn
Boerse to-day. Some of the war
babies" like the stocks of arms and
ammunition concerns. reacted rather
sharply, brt the quotations of most of
the stocks hardly changed.
Semi-oficial statements made to-day
expressed the belief that the influence
of Rumania's entry into the war on
Germany's food problem would not be
considerable. The grain contracts for
the 1915 crop already have been largely
filled and the loss on imports of the
1916 crop will not be severely felt, i
is said. in view of Germany's excellent
home crop. Imports Of Rumanian
grain of all kinds had been placed az
! 100000 tons, whereas the German
crops arc now estimated at 100000
tons above those of 1915. excluding the
occupied territories.
Owing to the doubtful attitude of the
Rumanian government, the authorities
in charge of Germany's food supplies
completed sometime ago plans for feed
ing the population for the next twelve
months without the assistance Of
Rumanis. II is even announced that
the bread ration soon will be increased.
Plan to Save a Surplus.
The authorities arc planning an eco
nomic policy by which good surplus
will be saved from the 1916 crops for a
possible shortage i'm the 1917 crop.
Among other things, it has been decided
TO use no grain in the making OF
brandy, and the grain consumption OF
breweries has been reduced 10 below
ono half the normal.
Notwithstanding the growing indica-
tions OF Rumania's warlike nlans, Ger
many and Austria had been .1aking
contracts for further imports and eX-
ports. Only three weeks ago Rumania
sold to the Central Powers 1000 car
loads of peas and 5000 carloads of
brewers barley. On the other hand.
the German Steel Trust had contracted
10 supply Rumania with 25,00) tons
of steel rails. II is probable, however,
that no shipments OF these rails have
yet been made.

that Rumanis was trying 10 delay the
conclusion OF further grain contracts.

pected some action by Rumanis for
nearly two weeks. No illusions were

Berlin, apparently, expects such
development soon. The "Lokal An
zeiger," according to dispatches from
the German capital, says
I'VE must expect that Rumania'3
entry into the war will also influence
the decisions of the Greek govern
ment. The Greek army was de-
modified according TO the wishes u
the Entente. Foreign troops are now
standing on Greek soil. 1t is not
easy to recall to the colrs under
threatening guns an army just sent
home.
Rumanias Decision Made SUNDAY.
Rumania's decision to join the Al-
lies was reached at meeting Of ths
Crown Council held at Bucharest
yesterday morning. IL follows close
" on Italy's declaration of war
against GERMANY proof that tho
Balkan drive was to be great push
of all the Entente powers.
The Importance Berlin attached to
Bucharest's decision is indicated in
the frantic efforts of the German en-
voys to keep her from the Allied
ranks. Messages from Berlin, COM
ing through Amsterdam, tell how the
German minister pleaded with King
Ferdinand to maintain neutrality.
Hohenzollern should not war against
Hohenzollern, he said. But Ferdi-
nand's reply was that he must fol-
low the nations will.
Great Victory for Allies.
Rumanian intervention in the war
is as great an Allied diplomatic VIC
tory as the loss Of Bulgaria was a
defeat. Jagow and Zimmerman un-
doubtedly will be the butts Of criti-
cism as severe as that experienced
by Sir Edward Grey following Bull
garia's decision 10 join theTeutons 80
and probably censure more severe,
because Rumania's action comes 30
soon after Italy's.
Austria offered big bribe, 10 Buch-
