RUMAN|A ID PLAY IMPORTANT PART IN DECIDING ISSUE Supremacy of the Allies in Balkans Is Expected
 by Winter RUSSIA BUYS MUCH FROM UNITED STATES Expected to Be Large Customer of This Country After the End
 of the War-Has Am
 pie Resources
By HOLLAND

New York, September 1.-Special) Horace G. Knowles-at one time United States minister to Rumania, and in the administration of President Taft our min lister to Bolvia-said shortly after the beginning of the European war that he was persuaded that if Rumania aban- doned neutrality and joined either the central powers or the entente allies her influence would be great in deciding the issue of the war; Rumania, MT. Knowles said, is a nation not as well un- derstood by the United States as it should be- In some respects, it more nearly re- sembles the United States than any other of the Balkan nations. Its people are peaceful, but nevertheless fully conscious of their rights and of their strength. AS they are for the most part descendants of the Romans, the name of the nation indicating that origin, they also reflect the best qualities of the Roman people.
 MT. Knowles mentioned one incident to illustrate the vigor with which the Ru- manian people assert their rights. Ru- mania is the great wheat country of the Balkans. Shortly before the beginning of the European war, her farmers had as- sembled upon the border many thousand bushels of wheat which was to be ex- ported to Austria. Rumania had pur- chased certain munitions of war in large amounts of Austria, but these were de- layed in delivery. Upon inquiry, Ru- mania discovered that these munitions were completed and that Austria was procrastinating the delivery of them. At the same time, Austria was demanding delivery of the wheat. The Rumanian government sent laconic message to Austria, courteous enough, but substan- tially in these terms: You get no wheat until we get the munitions we bought of you" That message was sufficient to se-

third week of August, went American
 commodities of the money value of s12-
 596,000, round numbers, which were bought
 by Russia. The total money value of the
 exports for that week was trifle over
 SIS, 100000, so that considerable propor-
 ton of this export represented Russian
 purchases in the United States Of
 course, the larger part of these commodi-
 ties was war material. The estimate is
 that we exported to Russia in that week
 material of the approximate value of
 $l0, ,0000O0. Our exporters are finding no difficulty, except a limited capacity of ships. in getting commodities to Russia. But $2.50O,000 of these exports were for material not included in war munitions
 Detroit, through it's automobile manr- factories, furnished a considerable part of this export. Russia bought great many harnesses in the United States and
 while these may be designed for her cav- airy in part, nevertheless some of them
 were of kind used in agriculture Rus sia also bought good deal of general merchandise. In banking circles in this city, especially among bankers who are familiar with conditions in Russia, the opinion is general that Russia will con- tnue to make purchases in the United States in large amounts of peaceful com moAities, so called. and that for several years after the close of the war our ex- ports of general merchandise and agri- cultural implements, electrical apparatus and railroad equipment to Russia will continue to be large. There is no doubt about Russia's financial strength, al- though as a nation she is now and has been for years greatly in debt. Her re- sources, however, are ample. The special significance discovered in these latest
 statistics of Russian purchases in the United States is the proof they furnish that Russia is to be large customer of the United States after the war is ended. American bankers are already preparing to facilitate Russia's trade with he United States.

New York, September 1.-(Special.) Have you ever lived in a big apartment house. Of course, know that apartment house life in Birmingham and New York is not all the same, but even if you have occupied a certain space in one of Bob Jemison's architectural wonders, you know what dumb waiter is. And what I want to know is-why do they call it a dumb waiter?
 They will tell you that the mouth of a cannon 'speaks"-but there never has been piece of heavy artillery in- vented which could speak above a whis- per, as compared with the riot so- called dumb waiter can raise. Even when it isn't speaking" you can hear it creaking up and dow nits tracks, with as much noise as New York Central engine running along Riverside Drive without having been greased for decade And when it skids!
 There are dumb walters and dumb wait CTS, no doubt though I shall never admit that any single one of them is really dumb but the dumb waiter that does duty in this enormous pile of masonry in which I have my being, I believe to be in class alone. When it comes tc working while you sleep,' it has the original Cascaret looking like the mon- arch of the Land of Loafers. A dumt waiter! Just listen for moment to 8 bit of it's conversation:
 Jones apartment?" (And remember all this is done fortissimo, and just as if o'clock in the morning were the ac- cepted hour of getting on the job).
 No, this isn't Jones' apartment-why don't you watch what whistle you blow?' Bang!
 "Jones' apartment?"
 "Yep--shoot Ter up.' (Two minutes ot unearthly screeching and scraping while the dumb waiter is climbing under It's weight of joy water).

WEEKLY REVIEW

New York, September 1.-The further reduction in crop prospects shown by the government report of Thursday was fol- lowed by one of the most sensational ad- vances in the history of the cotton mar ket, with all deliveries making new high records for the season. The market had been nervous and irregular during the early part of the week. The uncertain ties of transportation facilities naturally unsettled sentiment, and while exercising rather strengthening effect on near months were considered partly responsi- ble for disposition to even up accounts in advance of the official report An opinion was also expressed in some quar- ters that recent advances might possibly have exaggerated the extent of the crops S deterioration during the month and there was evidently feeling that the market had gone far enough to promote rcaliz- ing. Offerings were absorbed by the cov- erlng Of Liverpool straddle shorts and trade buying on reactions of about 1.c however, while fresh selling was held in check by continued dry weather in the southwest. It seemed, too, that the bear ish interpretation placed by grain mar kets upon Rumania's entrance into the

The official con.li- tion of 61.2 per cent was under all tho private reports, while bulls compared the indicated crop of 11,S00.0O0 bales with last years world consumption and a rush of , general buying followed, which carried December contracts up to 16.47c, or just l about $5 per bale above the low level of | the week.
