HUCIIARKST, Dec. 3. Roumanla
Is fairly wild to get Into the war.
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.
