Rome, Sept. 11.--The correspon- dent of the Corriere Della Sera at Bucharest confirms the total discom- fiture of German diplomacy in Rou- mania. - Henceforward all parties will form a solid block. Roumania is wait- | ing until the Russian situation be- comes clearer to take action in the field. Austria is taking extraordinary precautions for the defence 'of her frontiers, which have been supplied with heavy artillery. In the opinion of competent Rou- manian authorities it is impossible for the Austrians to force the Rou- | manian frontier at any point. A high diplomatic authority in Bulgaria made the following an- | nouncement te the Messagero: "Only a negative response from Nish would force Bulgaria to join against her desire with the Central Empires. In a contrary case the Bulgarian people will impose upon all the Ministers absolute conversion will march , against Austria Ger- many."

This ninety-five bil- lions would give $950 to every indi- vidual in the United States, the in- terest of which would be at least five per cent., for no person would invest | in land unless he was sure of get- ting this return for his investment, + which would be $47.59 per capita per | year. It would be nice if we knew how many of the people were land- less. I will venture to assert that there are as many per cent. landless | in the United States as there are in| Great Britain. » According to the ninth edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, there | were out of forty million inhabitants | 11,147,000 landholders. This would | {at the same. ratio give 2,867,600 landholders in the States and 71, | 325.000 landless. If we divide this | | i _ | ninety-five billion dollars among the | | landlords it will give each $33,443. This is quite an advantage over the masses whe do not own land; but the evil of this condition of things is that | {the seventy-one and a quarter mil- lion persons (landless ones) creates | this amount, and get mone of' it, Milo, 10¢: {equally with those whe get it all. | 3 They may not know it, or very few | of them know it, but it is so all the | same. Let me refer to Great Brit- | ain again. Out of the 1,147,000 land-ownérs of the Kingdom seventy- six-seventy-sevenths of the whole surface is 'owned by 185,000 per- (sons, and 957,000 persons own one acre or less. The United States may not be in 'When we consider that one-seventh of the State of California is owned by thirty-five persons, and that only a few years ago I saw a statement that Manhattan Island was owned by less than 2,700 persons, we may well suppose that like conditions wi'l pro- "duce like results. ~ Critics may now ask: "What are you going to do about it; do you want to divide up?"

"Serbia, with Greece, agrees to the demands of the Entente," It is believed that Roumania will put 300,000 men in the field, with re- serves amounting to 500,000. The Roumanian army is fuly equipped for a winter campaign. - Roumania About Ready. A telegram from Bucharest states that the aétion of the Czar is placing himself at the head of his army has produced an enormous impression in Roumania. It is regarded as mean- ing that the Russians do not intend to await spring before reassuming the offensive. In this case the Rou- manian army also will enter the field, as it only awaits for the intimation of Petrograd. SN The view taken here is that the Balkan situation is more optimistic than ever for the Allies. - There is reason to believe that Austro-Ger- man diplomacy has been finally de- feated in all the Balkan capitals, and that the reconstitution of the Balkan League is no longer in doubt. i AN NIN tts EU ONAN 4 PAA AN N,N a NN MAA + Fourth, capital cannot invest in dfiything §nly in conjunction with labor, it will t capital seeking for labor and not labor seeking capital.

Sixth, all wars that have takea gh jealousies 'over the possession of land. Even the war for slavery was caused by land re- striction. This present war is the effect of the land surface jealousies.
