It Heems certain that In the end It will do so. The royal family opposes It. It might not do so If popular opinion favored Oermnny, for Rou manian royalty Is strongly pro-German. Tho opte, however, are for Rus sia. 'I his Is partly owing to the fwj u.hj.i: i '.it-' racml relationship. It Is alt-o ftr the more material reasjn that t lie Roumanians want to acquire the Austrian provinces of Transyl vania and Rukovlna. K Roumanla were on Germany'e jldo-r-'thlch Is out of tho question In any cunt, on account of Its Russian f-ytnrnth.es It naturally could not pet thin territory, Austria being the Germans' ally. It Is not entirely certain thnt It can get them both from Russia, either. The czar presumably would have no objection to seeing Transyl vania Roumanlanlzed, but he has pliendy pretty effectually conquered llukovlna. and may want to keep It for hlniHclf. This undoubtedly explains why Roumanla has kept out of the war ro long. The people do not take Into consideration the fact that any material advantage may be gained by waiting, and are very Impatient. Rou manian diplomats, however, are anx ious to wait until some very critical stage for the allies, and especially for Russia, Is reached. They figure that they can drive a better bargain at huch a time. KalHor Rewards Ooiiwnl I.lkmnn. LONDON, Dec. 3.
