WASHINGTON, August 2S.-President
Wilson's negotiations for averting the
threatened nationwide railway strike are
in the last stage with a break or a settle
ment apparently not far off.
With the railway executives standing
firm against conceding the s-hour day
the brotherhood leaders still standing out
against arbitration, the hope of prevent
ing a tie-up of the countrys transporta-
tion system seemed to lie with congress.
just exactly what can be done none Of
the congressional leaders themselves seem
to know. Conferences among them and
with President Wilson. which began last
night, were continued today and the Presi-
dent postponed his engagement with the
morning until 80 O'Clock this afternoon
to give him more time for conferences
with leaders in congress. The situation
was viewed on all sides as the most peril
Gus since the negotiations began two
weeks ago.

Italy yesterday declared war on
G,mauy. Fourteen nations are now
engaged in the world struggle.
The catry of Rumania into the war
opens to the Russian army a gateway
through Rumana to attack the Bull
gorians from the north, while the al
lied army, having its base at Saloniki
attacks them and their German allies
from the south.
Rumania has an army estimated at
jsO,OOO which has often been described
as one of the most thoroughly equip
ped and disciplined in Europe. Buga.
ria is said to have stationed 100000
or more troops along tine southern bank
of the Danube to protect her frontier
from Rumanian invasion.
Military authorities in Budapest as
sert that the chief factor for the con
sideration of the central powers is now
the half a million or more men of the
Rumaniaa army, and the opportunity
offered for new Russian invasion OF
Hungary. One reason for delay in Ru
mania 5 decision to enter the struggle
il is said, has been lack of ammuni
tion, which now has been relieved by
large supplies coming from Japan, ae
cording to recent reports.
Rumania has border line as Ion,
as the whole Russian western wa
front on which TO chose her point O
attack. In what direction her frs
