U. S. OPEN TO U-BOAT
STATE DEPARTMENT AT WASH
INGToN ANNOUNCES DECISION.
Raid OFF New England Coast Does Not
Change Administration Point
of View.

Washington, Oct. 12.-The dash into
Newport of the German submarine
U-53 and it's subsequent raids off the
New England coast have not changed
the administrators point of view in
the treatment of submersibles of
belligerent nations.
This was made known here on Tues
day when Counselor Polk Of the state
department announced that the United
States had refused to accept the con-
tention Of the entente allies urging
that neutrals deny the use of their
harbOrs to all submarines, whether
merchantmen or warships.
The counselor's announcement fol-
lowed publication of a London dis
patch carrying the text Of recent
note to Washington In which the de-
mands of the entente were made.
The claim of the allies that submR-
rines are outlaws brings up the ques-
ton of whether the American govern
ment may be sued for damages result
ing from the call of the U-53 at New
port before it started on its spectacu-
lar raid.
Under the Interpretation of the al
lies, the position may be taken that
Newport was made the base for Op-
erations which officials estimate al
ready have caused at least $6O00,OOO
damage to allied shipping and trade.

ASKS ALLIES FOR AID
KING OF RoUMANIA FEARS Ma
TIoN WILL BE CRUSHED
BY TEUToNs.
STAKES ALL IN CONFLICT
Ferdinand Says Country Was Not
Moved to Enter War by Mere Expedi-
ency, But Decision Was Based on
Biggest Principles of Nationality.

London, Oct. 16.-The Times pub
fishes an interview given to its corre-
spondents with the Roumania army
by the king of ROumania, In which
the monarch appeals to the allies not
to permit his country to suffer the
fate of Serbia and Belgium.
"The ROumanians will not falter,"
the king said, "in their allegiance to
the cause, nor can the enemy wean
them from their faith in their allies.
Yet the ROumanians pray that, In
spite of their existing exigencies and
their own huge problems, the allies
will not allow the affairs Of Rou-
mania, who has staked her all In this
conflict, to pass into the back of their
minds and to suffer her to meet the
fate of either Belgium or Serbia"
King Ferdinand said that ROumania
had not been moved to enter the war
by her expediency, but that her deci-
sion was based on the biggest princi-
pies of nationality.
Against Germany" continued his
majesty, there was, at the beginning
of the war, no hostility, rather, per-
haps, friendship, for economically, Ger
many was an asset to the development
of our industry and a potent instru-
ment in forwarding the prosperity OF
our country.
"But with the progress Of the war
Roumania began to feel the subtle
force of enemy intrigue endeavOring
in every way to force us into the
struggle against our own real inter-
ests.
"If Roumania has been criticized
heretofore; let the world consider her
position: A small power, with small
army, surrounded by giants, facing
practical problem.
"With q western frontier nearly 700
miles long, which alone was greater
than the English and French fronts
combined and Bulgarian frontiers, al
most undefended and near her capital,
stretching for other hundreds of miles
to the south, she had to await the
time when she could act with reason
able assurance of projecting herself
and having the support Of her allies.
"A small country in a great war
which promises to last for at least an
other year, faces certain internal
sacrifices and the consumption Of her
resources. But such Is the confidence
of ROumania in the justice of her
cause and the faith of her allies that
she has cast her lot with them in the
conviction that her great associates
will see that she does not prove to be
the third small power destroyed in
the great conflict"
Despite slight gains recorded for
the Roumanians in the Bucharest of
fetal war office statement, AustrO-
German-Bulgar forces continue their
crushing nut-cracker tactics and have
expelled the Roumanians from further
portions of Pennsylvania.
A strip of territory in eastern Tran
sylvania, paralleling the Roumanian
front and including the Gyergyo and
Miszek valleys and the upper and
lower Csik, have been cleared Of the
enemy, according to a Berlin war
office statement.
