London.-Eight persons we're killed

The Rotterdam correspondent Of the
Daily News says that super-Zeppelins,
OF which frequent reports have come
from Germany, evidently took part In
the attack, for two OF these vessels
were seen clearly on their way west
by inhabitants of Dutch islands. or
the four airships observed on the west
ward course, two were Of the newer
type, each carrying four gondolas.
According to a statement OF Lord
Montagu in a speech In England a
short time ago, the new German Yep.
pelins are 7S0 feet long, have a capa,
city Of 100000 cubic feet OF gas, a
speed Of 80 miles an hour, and a ra
dius of action OF 1900 miles at 80
miles an hour. Their engines, he said,
have $4,000 horse power.
These super-Zeppelins are 10 carry
five tons Of bombs, and are armed
with machine guns at bow and on
top OF the envelope. Two OF these
monsters. Lord Montagu said, are
already completed, and four will be
in commission in October.
Many remarkable stories are told
Of the nights Zeppelin raid. In one
case a bomb fell near three cottages

five children, shattering the windows
and throwing the furniture about, yet
not child was hurt, although in one
case the glass OF a picture smashed

her bed fell through from the top
floor OF her home into the drawing
room, bed and all, and partly below

flremen
One OF the Zeppelins eluded the
searchlights several times, but was
picked up again. Another, after be-

smoke, apparently created by an ap'
paratus on board.

While detailed reports are lacking,
II became more and more evident to-
night that, prior to the declaration
OF war, Roumania had agreed with
the concert Of allied powers where
the blow would be delivered, had
massed her veteran soldiers in readi-

REASONS FOR WAR.
Roumania Charges Persecution Of
Her Nationals by Austro- Hungarian
Officials and Violations of Agree.
ments Made Before War.

Paris-La Liberte has received
from Geneva a summary of the Rou.
manian declaration of war, as tele-
graphed from Vienna. 1t is a Ions
document, in which Roumania sets
forth her grievances. The persecu-
ton Of Roumanians by Austro- Hun
garian officials is alleged, and It is
charged that agreements which exist
ed between Roumanian and the for.
mer members Of the Triple Alliance
have been broken in letter and spirit
from the time Germany and Austria
entered in the war.
italy, the declaration says. was
obliged TO detach herself from Aus
tria and Germany. In conclusion, the
communication sets forth as follows
the motives in compelling Roumania
TO enter the war:
"First-The Roumanian population
In Austrian territories is exposed tt
the hazards of war and of invasion.
"Second-Roumania believes that
by intervening she can shorten the
world war.
"Third-Roumania places herself
on the side of those powers which
she believes can assist her most eff
caciously in realizing her national
ideal"

ALLIES ROUTED
BY BULGARIANS
British and French Gain Only
In Centre of Great Mace
d0nian Battle Line
TWO WINGS PUT IN PERIL

Paris.-The drama OF war Is devel-
events burrying forward toward the
crash which may have a profound ef-
feet upon the outcome OF the world
conflict
In the actual fighting the honors
are with the Bulgars, who, the French
Office admits, swept forward on both
the extreme right and the extreme left
OF the Allies line until, some military
critics say, the tanks are in peril. In
the centre only the story was different
and the Allies progressed.
A profound sensation was caused
In the Balkans, and more particularly
in Greece, by the arrival of the Rus
sian advance contingent which was as
signed after a conference OF the allied
commanders to join the reorganized
Serbian army on the frontier OF Ser
bja
The Greeks are described as view
ing bitterly the spectacle OF Russian
troops disembarking at Salonica to
Participate In the campaign and carry
IN the work In which their own army
night have been engaged had Vene-
zelos carried the day. They are said
to realize that this puts an end to
the dream OF a greater Greece.
The Russian force eventually will
number 80,O00 it is asserted. British,
French, Serbian, Italian and Russian
troops will soon be fighting side by
side against the Central Powers.
The belief prevails among some mil
itary experts here that the Russians
are content with the successes achiev-
ed up to date by Gen. Brusiloff's great
offensive in Volhynia, Galicia and the
Carpathians, and have decided TO reap
the fruits OF the weakening OF the
Teutons during the last 21s months
by Withdrawing strong forces from the
eastern front for the Macedonian cam
paign.

ITALY DECLARES /
WAR ON GERMANY
King Victor Emmanuel Asks
Switzerland to Inform Berlin
of Her Action.
FORMAL DECLARATION SENT

ROme.-"Ths Italian Government
declares in the name OF the King thai
Italy considers herself to be in a state
OF war with Germany, as from Aug
2S, and begs the Swiss Government
70 convey this information to the I'm
perial German Government"
In these formal words Italy declar
ed war upon Germany.
Declaration of war oy Italy on Ger
many had been expected for several
days owing to the fact that Italian
troops are fighting against the Ger
mans in Greece.
The declaration will make It pos
sible to employ Italian troops against
the Germans in France, ii General
Joffre deems such a measure advis-
able.
Diplomatic circles in Rome were as
sured OF Intervention in the war by
Rumania against the Central Empire.
A possibility much discussed here
is that a large contingent OF Italian
troops will be sent into France TO
aid the Allies on the western front.
A great CffeLsive invasiC OF Alsace,
directed from Belfort as a base, is
declared to be the plan Of The Allied
commanders.
Italy's declaration of war on Ger.
many brings TO an end OF the strang-
est situations recorded In the history
of nations-the mysterious rentention
OF peace between these two countries
for more than two years after the
outbreak OF the conflict which burst
the Triple Alliance and which result
ed on May %, 1915, in an open break
between Italy and Austria Hungary.
Though thrown into the maelstrom
of a war against world In arms by
her Hapsburg ally, Germany has not
been officially at war with Italy until
that country now has made the long
expected move. No aim in the diplo
matte field has been more ardently
pursued by the Kaiser than to avert
an open break with his former ally.
At the beginning OF the war Italy
renounced the Triple Alliance and de-
clared for policy OF neutrality. On
May %, 1915, she declared war on
Austro-Hungary, yielding to over
whelming pressure OF public senti-
ment and rejecting sweeping terri
torial offers from her former ally.
On Aug %, 1915, she followed this
up with declaration OF war against
Turkey, Germany's pet protege.
On Feb. 16 last. the Italian Govern
ment requistioned "a Of 81 German
steamships interned in Italian ports,
and the climax came on the third day
of the present month. when Italy gave
notice to Germany OF the termination
OF the Italo-German commercial treaty
of 1891, which would have expired
at the end OF 1917.
An Exchange telegram from Sofa
reports that the Bulgarians have oc.
cupied Kavalla.

U-soATs SINK BRITISH CRUISERS

London.-Two British light cruisers,
the Nottingham and the Falmouth,
were sunk In the North Sea by Ger.
man submarines while the vessels
were searching for the German High
Seas Fleet, according to an official an
nouncement issued by the Admiralty.
One German submarine was des-
troyed by the British, while another
was rammed and possibly sunk. ac-
cordlng to the Admiralty statement,
which reads
Reports from our lookout squadrons
and other units showed that there
was considerable activity on the part
OF the enemy in the North Sea Satur-
day, the 10Th. The German High Seas
Fleet came out, but, learning from
their scouts that the British forces
were in considerable strength, the
enemy avoided an engagement and re.
turned to port.
In searching for the enemy we lost
two cruisers by submarine attacks
III. M. S. Nottingham. Captain c. B.
Miller, and II. M. s. Falmouth. Cap
tain John Edwards.
All the officers OF the former were
saved, but thirty-eight of the crew
are missing. All the officers and men
OF the Falmouth were saved but one
leading stoker, Norman Fry. died of
injuries.
An enemy submarine was destroyed
and another was rammed and possibly
sunk. There is no truth in the Ger
man statement that British destroy
er and British battleship damaged.
The presence in the North Sea OF a
German squadron OF some fifteen war
ships, including large cruisers, was
previously reported by trawlers arriv-
ing at Ymuiden, Holland, Reuter- dis.
patch from that point says. The
squadron was sighted In the region Of
White Bank, and was accompanied by
two Zeppelins. II was taking north
