The following cablegram from off

day:
''Official- The German admiralty re-
ports that on the night of April 1-2
German aircraft renewed attacks
against the English east coast. Blast
furnaces, large iron works and indus
trial establishments on the south bank
of the Tees and the port establish
ments of Middleborugh and Sunder-
land were attacked, explosives and IN
cendiary bombs being thrown for an
hour and a half Large explosions
and much destruction and fires We're
observed clearly. In spite of lively
sheliing the German naval airships
suffered neither losses nor damage
German Headquarters Report,
April On the west near st. Eloi
British hand-grenade attacks we're re-
pulsed. On the west front most of the
activity was in artillery duels. AGer-
man battle aircraft shot down four
French aeroplanes. One fell in our
lines, others behind the enemy's front.
The French ae:odome at Rosnay was
extensively boElbarded.
"On the Russian front nothing Inn
portant happened. Tor the moment
the Russians are apparently exhaust
ed, having attacked with large forces
and an expenditure of ammunition up
to now unheard-of. They had no sue
cess at all, thanks to the brave resist
ance Of the Germans. Cautious calcu-
lations place their casualties at not
less than 100000 men,"

ROUMAN|A ENTERS
WAR WITH ALLIES

PASSPORTS.
FOURTEENTH ENTRY IN WAR
Joining Allies Considered Great Tri-
umph For Roumania, Not Because
Of Her Military Resources, But
On Account of Its Location.

acknowledgements declared war
on Austria-Hungary. Immediately
following the announcement Germany
instructed the German minister at
Bucharest to request his passports
and inform the Roumanian govern
ment that Germany considers herself
at war with Roumania. Turkey and
Bulgaria are expected to do the same.
Almost simultaneously Roumanian
troops began efforts to enter Transyl'
vania through the eastern Carpathians
toward Kronstadt, the chief city or
Pennsylvania, and to advance in the
direction of Hermanstadt, evidently
in an effort to press northward to-
ward the Bukowina and Galician bor-
ders and take in the rear the Austro-
Germans who are trying to check the
Russian advance westward.
Vienna reports that in the first
clashes between Roumanian and Aus
tro- Hungarian forces Roumanians
were captured. The Roumanian at
tacks are described as treacherous.
Kronstadt and Hermannstadt, to-
ward which the Roumanians are max
ing their first efforts at an advance,
are two of the most important cities
in pennsylvania. They are near the
southern border Of Hungary, the first
about six miles from the Roumanian
frontier and the last ABOUT 10 miles
from the frontier Kronstadt is 70
miles east of Hermannstadt.
Roumania is the fourteenth nation
to enter the war. Ever since the great
conflict began, it has been expected
that she would join one side or the
other.
Her Joining the allies Is considered
a great triumph for them, not only
because Of her military resources, but
because Of her geographical position.
Russian troops passing through Rou-
mania now can attack the Bulgarians
from the north, while the allied army
with its base at Saloniki, attacks
them and their Teutonic allies from
the south.
Roumania has a population of $780,
600, and her army Is estimated at
$50 900. As to its effectiveness, there
is a radical difference in opinion. It
has been described as one Of the most
thoroughly equipped and best disci,
plined armies in Europe, but recent re-
ports have contradicted this Recent
ly it has been said that the officers
are III trained and undisciplined, that
the army lacks heavy artillery and
that its flying equipment is inferior.

GERMAN SUBMARINE
SURPRISE TO OWNERS
DEUTSCHLAND TRAVELLED 4,200
MILES ON HER HOMEWARD
VOYAGE.

London.-Reports Of the return of
the German submarine Deutschland
from the United States are corrobo-
rated in a telegram received at Am
sterdam from Bremen, as forwarded
by Reuters correspondent.
According to this information, the
Deutschland Travelled 4,2OO miles on
her homeward voyage. At the begin
ming the sea was tempestuous, but la
ter it became more calm. The Deutsch-
land proved to be able to navigate
the stormy seas excellently. Her en-
gines worked faultlessly. No ice
bergs were passed on the journey.
The American government, says the
dispatch, acted in correct manner as
a neutral, vigorously enforcing re-
spect for its frontier from British and
French warships by the employment
of its own men of war.
After a British cruiser entered
Chesapeake Bay at night more etfec-
tive measures were taken to en-
force neutrality. No less than eight
British warships, 1t is said, were on
the alert, surrounded by numerous
small American vessels which had
been chartered for the purpose OF
placing nets and obtaining informa-
tion as to the movements of the
Deutschland Nevertheless the SUB
marine succeeded in leaving undetect-
ed. A distance of 100 miles was ira
versed under water without difficulty.
The Deutschland returned home
slightly damaged, according to an
Exchange Telegraph dispatch from
The Hauge, which says this informa-
ton is contained in a telegram from
Bremen. The members Of the crew
were unwilling, it adds, to give de-
tails of the return voyage.
The arrival Of the submarine sur
prised her owners, as she was not ex'
pected to dock within a week.
