Intervention either on the side Of the
Allies or the Central powers has been
awaited with symptoms Of concern by
both sides since the beginning OF the
great conflict. This is due, not en-
Lirely TO Roumania's military
strength but also to the strategic ad-
vantages of It's geographical position
and the fact that its entry into the
Struggle opens to the Russian army a

Nevertheless Roumanias military
strength is by no means inconsidera-
bic. The country has a population
of $500, 600 and its army has been
estimated at $4,000. 1t often has
been described as one OF the mosI
thoroughly equipped and disciplined
armies in Europe. but recent intor-
nation from Bucharest has thrown
some doubt upon its quality. Lately
il has been stated that ROumania OIL
6cers are, i'll trained and undisci-
Mined. that Roumania has no heavy
artillery and that its flying service Is
Inferior. Some advocates OF kou-
mania's participation in the war nave
asserted that it could mobilize as
many as 1 100000 men. The moDll-
Ization of its army has been in prog
ross for months and a few days ago
was reported to be complete
The motive which prompts Rou-
mania to enter the war is the satls,
faction of its national aspirations

manian Liberal leader. as the pol

Roumania has border line as long

FIRST blow may be aimed is indlcat-
cd by its desire to pour its troops

SAYS LAND IS NOT
AS WAS REPRESENTED

Cedar Falls, Aug, IA few days
ago the sale Of the Noah Matthew
farm of 16O acres, located north OF
town was made to Chris Erickson for
a consideration Of 800 an acre. A con.
tract to the effect was drawn and
signed by both parties and the sum OF
$500 was paid by Erickson as a matter
of good faith. For some reason or
other Erickson has changed his mind
and does not believe that the farm
is what he wanted, in fact he AYERS
that there was a Misrepresentation
made as to the quality of the soil and
other items OF Importance to which
Matthews answers by stating that he
left the matter entirely with Erickson
who walked over the farm and saw
everything as he thought to his own
satisfaction. Erickson wants Mat
thews to return his money and de-
clare the sale of which Matthews so
far has not done. In all likelihood the
trouble will be aired out In court
