The Teutons Reported to be Serving Her With an Ultimatum. London, Aug. 22.---Roumania is reported to have cast her lot with the Entente. No formal declaration has yet been made, but the situation is regarded so seriously in Berlin that the Central Empires are said To be preparing an ultimatum. Great importance is attributed to a conference between the Roumanian Minister fo War and the Russian Military Attache at Bucharest on Sunday.

Russia, it is said, will send armies to co-oper- ate with Roumania in a march into Serbia, taking the Germans and Bul- garians in the rear.
