- PARIS, Aug. 28. La Liberte has re
" eeived from Geneva a summary of the
Roumanian declaration of war, as tele-
graphed from Vienna. It Is a long,
t' document, setting- forth Roumanians
. grievances. The persecution of Kou
; manians by Austro-Hungarian officials
- is alleged, and it is charged that agree
r ments which existed between Koumania
and the former members of the triple
Z alliance have been broken in letter and
1 spirit from the time Germany and Aus
; tria entered the war.
J Italy, the declaration says, ' was
obliged to detach herself from Aus
" tria and Germany. In conclusion the
I communication sets forth as follows
the motives in compelling Roumania to
:' enter the war:
First, the Roumanian population In
Austrian territories is exposed to the
J hazards of war and of Invasion.
7 Second, Roumania believes that by
Z Intervening she can shorten the war.
; Third, Roumania places herself on
' the side of those powers she believes
- can assist her most efficaciously In
w realizing her national Ideal.
LONDON, Aug. 28-An official state
I ment issued In Berlin and forwarded
by Reuter's correspondent at Amster
dam, says:
"After Roumania, as already report-
ed, disgracefully broke treaties con
..' eluded with Austria-Hungary and Ger-
many, she declared war yesterday
against our ally.
"The imperial German Minister to
.Roumania has received instructions
to request his passports and to declare
to the Roumanian government that
"! r Germany now likewise considers her
. self at war with Roumania."
BERLIN, Aug. 28. German govern
" ment circles have expected some action
' by Roumania for nearly two weeks. It
was hoped, though, that Roumania
might reconsider the step taken yes-
' terday.
It was known that the entente pro
posed using Roumanian territory for a
Russian advance against Austria-Hun--
gary and Bulgaria. Roumania, It was
V. argued, would in that event, consider
ing the Roumanian antipathy toward
. Austria-Hungary, join the forces fight
ing the central powers. It is felt here
that Roumania cannot avoid war with
all central powers should Russian
troops advance through her territory.

STORE THAN TWO-THIRD S IX FAVOR
' OP INTERVENTION.
King Has Prolonged Conferences With
: Leaders of All Partlea Before
Final Action. Is Taken.
LONDON, Aug. 28. The meeting of
the Roumanian Crown Council at which
the decision to declare war on Austria
Hungary was reached was held at the
V Controceni Palace. King Ferdinand
presided and the session was prolonged
over several aays. The council con
',' sists of 19 members, of whom It la
believed four to six opposed interven
; tion.
; Besides conferring with the Crown
Council, with whom the final decision
rested. King Ferdinand had prolonged
conferences with the leaders of all Rou
C manian political parties, including t.os8
1 favorable to Intervention and those who
; had been the strongest supporters of
i Roumania continuing her neutrality.
The Roumanian military officials had
- discussed for some days what probably
would be the first step taken when war
;' was declared and had dismissed all
; alien employes, many of whom were
' Germans. An especially large number
of Germans were employed in the tech-5-
nical services.
General Averescu, ex-Mlnlster of
War, It is said, will have chief com-
mand of the Roumanian army.
The Bucharest newspaper AdeveruL
. commenting on the Crown Council
meeting, said:
- "At last the. decisive hour has struck.
Events have dictated to the govern
i ment intervention and the realization
; of Roumanians national claims."

PARIS, Aug. 23. The entrance of
Roumania Into the war was received
with popular rejoicing -in Paris. For
the - first time in many months the'
newspapers were permitted to publish
extra 'editions, and in half an hour all
Paris had learned the news and. the
city was beflagged with the Roumanian
colors.
The : declaration had been ' expected
hour by hour for three- days. The
general belief. In Paris is that Ron
mania's action will tend to shorten the
war. Some of the more optimistic
military commentators predict that
Turkey will be crushed within six
months, and that Austria will be sub
jected to unbearable pressure.
PETROGRAD, via London. Aug. 28.
Roumania's declaration of war against
Austria is regarded in official circles
as of far-reaching significance.
The Foreign Office points out the
striking features the aid of the f ub
stantial .Roumanian army, which, pitted
against Austria, 'will afford greater
freedom of action on the Russian left
wing on the western front; the tight
ening of the ring around the central
empires and the opening of a new line
of attack; the cutting off of grain sup
plies to the Austro-Germans, upon
which the latter are believed to have
placed local reliance.

FIGHT BASED ON TARIFF
REPRESENTATIVE HUMPHREY TO
PLEAD FOR REPEAL OF ACT.
Campaign . for Republican Nomination
for Senator Saya Situation at Clon
of War Will Be Unparalleled.
SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. 28. (Spe
cial.) Representative William . E.
Humphrey, of Seattle, candidate for
the Republican nomination for United
States Senator, will base his campaign
upon the tariff issue primarily, al
though he is a strong supporter of the
entire Republican National platform,
he said today in opening his campaign
here.
He arrived Sunday morning from
Washington direct.
"I shall base my campaign upon the
need of a repeal of the Underwood tar
iff law as soon as possible and the sub
stitution of a protective measure to
meet the unparalleled situation that
will arise at the close of the war in
Europe.," said Mr. Humphrey.
"Sixty days after the flose of this
war more than 8,000,000 American la
boring 'men will be thrown out of
work. At the same time millions of
European soldiers and munition work
ers will be returning to the produc
tions of peace. Competition must be
met by high tariffs or Incalculable dis
aster will follow.
"President Wilson has become odious
In the eyes of the warring nations of
Europe, Japan and South America.
Nearly all the enmity directed towards
America focuses on him personally. By
his removal from the 'Presidency, we
will be In a better position as neutrals
and present a chief executive against
whom no complications with foreign
nations can be charged."
Mr. Humphrey will speak here to
morrow night. His speech will deal
largely with Xational Issues and with
the tariff as applied to Washington.

ever the various peoples of any lands
are or may be recognized as having
separate group rights, the conferring
upon the Jews of the lands affected of
such rights. If desired by them, as de
termined ana assisted by the congress
and, third, the securing of protection

reports "treacherous attacks" In the
southeastern and eastern mountain
passes of Hungary. Apparently King
Qerdinand's commanders Intend to in
trencA themselves firmly in the coveted
province of Transylvania.
The battle in progres has for its
prize the eastern Carpathian passes
guarding the- approaches to the Hun

posing forces are in contact at Stroth

raannstadt, former capital of Hungary,
and passes south of Kronstadt, one of
the most Important cities of the prov
ince and only six miles from the Rou
manian frontier.
Speedy Developments Expected.
What preparations Bulgaria has
made to offset a Roumanian invasion
and a Russian drive through Dobrudja
are not known here. It seems a fore
gone conclusion that Bulgaria and Rou
mania soon will be at war. Then the
way will bo open for an attack against
the Bulgarian army from the north.
London expects a speedy withdrawal of
the troops that Invaded Eastern Mace
donia to guard the Roumanian border
line, both against a possible Rouma
nian action and a Russian thrust.
ihe Germans and Austrian also are
expected to send troops to help protect
mis irontier. .
The transfer of troops from these sec
tors will leave weakened lines both in
Galicla and in Macedonia. A renewal
of the Russian drive for Lemberg and
Kovel and a strong attack by Sarraii's
lorces up the Vradar Valley is speedily
expected.
WAR POWER BALANCE CHANGED
London Holds Envelopment of Cen

LONDON. Aug. 28. All the. London
morning papers rive most of their edi
torial space to discussion of Roumania's
entry into the war. emphasizing its
economic, political, and moral, as well

With reference to Its mllitarv slrnifl-

upper and nether millstones and offers
Russia a route to the heart of the
enemy's country, a route whose defense

enemy's line and an enormous cart lii
his responsibilities. " The Dally News
says:
It la the envelopment of the central
powers which Roumanian success would
complete that is the -capital fact of
the situation. Economically the Im
portance of Roumania s step is the

The Express says:
"Germany has been receiving cattle.

Politically the London papers believe
Roumania s entry is likely to have its
most immediate effect in Greece.

"For. her indecision and weakness
Greece is now suffering heavily, but
there are signs that under the teach

people are coming to their senses. They
will be wise to look to it that their
repentance does not come too late."
The Daily Telegraph says:
"Germany awakes after an orgy of

of a submarine from America to hear
that the strongest armed European

Vienna Says Roumanian Attack Was
. Made Treacherously.
VIENNA, via London. Aug. 28. The
first clashes between troops of Rou
mania and the Central Powers occurred
last night in southeastern and eastern
frontier mountain passes of Hungary,
says an official statement given out
here today. Tne Roumanian attacks
are described as "treacherous."
Roumanian prisoners were taken.
Advance guards came into contact at
Rot.henthrum Pass, 15 miles south of
Hermannstadtt, Transylvania, and In
the passes south of Kronstadt (Brass),
the statement adds.
Kronstadt and Hermannstadt, to
ward which the official communication
of Austria indicates Roumanians are
advancing, are two of the most im
portant cities In Transylvania. They
are near the southern border of Hun
gary, the first about six miles from the
Roumanian frontier and the last about
15 miles from the frontier.
Kronstadt Is the most important
commercial and manufacturing center
of Transylvania. It has a population
of 41,000. Hermannstadt has a popu

a large part of the population of both
cities.
NEED OF AIRCRAFT SHOWN
War Game Also Demonstrates Xack

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28 Comment
lng today on the big naval war game
played last week. Rear-Admiral Ben
son, chief of operations, said the vital
lesson demonstrated was the need of
aircraft for scouting purposes and also
the urgent necessity of adding battle
and scout cruisers to the fleet. -
Although the aeroplane ship North
Carolina participated in the game as a
scout, none of her hydroaeroplanes was
regarded as safe for use at sea.
The Department is still without in
formation as to the part played in the
game by Rear-Admiral Helm's subma

however, that when the Department's

Roumanian Declaration.
FOOD PLANS UNAFFECTED
Semi-Offlclal Statement Mad That
Good Surplus Will Be Saved
From 1916 Crop for Pos
sible Shortage In 1917.
BERLIN, Aug-. 28. via London. Aug.
29. Roumania's declaration of war
against Austria-Hungary was without
marked effect on the Bourse today.
Some "war babies" like the stocks of
arms and ammunitions concerns re
acted rather sharply, but most quota
tions hardly changed.
Semi-official statements today ex
pressed the belief that the influence on
Germany's food problem would not be
considerable. Grain contracts for th
1915 crop already have, been filled
largely, and the loss on Imports of the
1916 crop will not be severely felt, in
view of Germany's reported excellent
home crop. Imports of Roumanian
grain of all kinds had. been placed at
1.400,000 tons.
German crops are now estimated at
5.000,000 tons above those of 1915, ex
cluding the occupied territory.
Owing to the doubtful attitude or
the Roumanian government, the au
thorities in charge of Germany's food
supplies completed their plans some
time ago for feeding the population
the next IS months without the assist
ance of Roumania. It even is said that
the bread ration sooa will be increased.
The authorities are planning an eco
nomic policy by which a groodly surplus
will be saved from the 1918 crop for a
possible shortage in the 1917 crops.
Amour other things it has been decided
tok use no grain in the making of
brandy, and the grain consumption of
breweries, has been reduced to below
one-half the normal.
Notwithstanding the growing indica
tions of Roumania's warlike plans. Ger
many and Austria had been rn&kins
contracts for further imports a.d ex
ports. Only three weeks ago Roumania
sold to the central powers 2000 carloads
of peas and 6000 carloads of brewers
barley. On the other hand, the German
steel trust had contracted to supply
Roumania with 25,000 tons of steel
rails. It is probable, however, that no
shipments of these rails win be maaa.
For soma time it has been remarked
that Roumania was trying to delay the
conclusion of further grain contracts.
