Ea] Charges That Rumania fas ""Disgracefully" i 3 Rn -- CENTRAL POWERS FORCE WAR CRISIS WITH NEW FOES. Bulgarians are Threatened--Experts Figure Rumania Will be Able to Throw 1,000,000 Men Into the Fray. % ! London, Aug, 29.-- Rumania has . thrown in her lot with the Entente Allies, having declared war against Austro-Hungary, and almost simul- taneously Germany has agnounced that a state of war exists ' between Germany and Rumania. An official statement issued in Berlin and forwarded by Reuter's correspondent at Amsterdam says: "After Rumania, as already re- ported, disgracefully broke treaties concluded with Austro-Hurgary 'and Germany, she declared war yester- day against our ally. "The Imperial German minister to Rumania has received instructions to request his passports and to declare to the Rumanian government that Germany now likewise considers her- self at war with Rumania." Already the troops of King Ferdin- and are seeking entry into the plains of Transylvania through the eastern Carpathian mountain ' passes toward Kronstadt, the chief city in Transyl- vania, and in the direction of Her mannstadt, evidently in an endeavor to press northward through Transyl- vania towards the Bukowina and Galicia borders and take in thé rear the Austro-Germans who are trying to hold back the Russians from enter- ing the plains of Hungary. As yet nothing has come through | to 'indicate what preparation has | been made by the Bulgarians if, as now seems probable, Rumania de- | clares war on Bulgaria, to offeet pro- | bable attack by the Rumanians along the Danube front or a possible at-| tempt at an invasion of the Russians by means of the Danube and through Dobrudja or by way of the Black Sea into Eastern Bulgaria. It is esti- mated unofficially that Rumania will be able to throw nearly a million men into the fray. . . Vainly Waited For Victory. Bucharest, Rumania, Aug. '29.-- Take Jonescu, leader of the liberal party in Rumania and former mini- ster of the interior, stated to-day that only a great German victory could have checked Rumanian intervention.

Ottawa, Aug. 29.--New Zealand's progressive and acquitable methods of iiiting time are described in a report just received by the Départment of Trade and Commerce from Canadian Trade Commissioner Beddoe of Auckland. The proposals of the New Zealand Government now before the house of Representatives include the follow- ing war measures, which are appli- cable also to Canadian conditions: A considerable reduction in publéc works expenditures; the repeal of the mortgage tax, and substitution of a tax on sums invested on mortgage; provisions for war bonus during the | war to employees of all branches of the public service whose pay does not exceed 350 pounds sterling per an- num; a vote of five million pounds for the purchase of land for soldiers; a tax of forty-five per cent. of thé pro- fits obtained from war conditions; a tax of five per cent, on all incomes exclusive of those obtsfined from war prifits; and regulation of the transfer of Moreys from the Dominion except for legitimate trade purposes. New Zealand's income and land taxes realized las' year a little more than five million dollars, which was almost double the Government's esti- mate of receipts when the taxation was imposed. The new addition to the income tax this year consists of a special war levy of five per cent. on the taxable portion of all incomes ex- ceeding §1,600. Mr. Beddoe reports good trade con- ditions throughout New Zealand, Im- ports are increasing, money is plenti- ful, and the business world appears full of confidence. SETHI TO BUILD BRIDGE.

London, Aug. 29.--Rumania's en- try into the war affords the best as- surance that the victory of the Allies is certain. She bings nearly half a | million men to give weight to that as- surance, with another 300,000 who may be called upon in case of emer- gency, What will be Rumania's part in the war? From her neighbors she is separated by natural boundaries, if for the moment the east is disregard- ed. On the west the eastern Carpa- thians form a huge wall against at- tack. To the south the Danube is the 'natural outline of her domininon. To the east her territory extends beyond | the river. | Where will she strike? Transyl- vania, where the Austrian forces are | which the Italians and Russians gain- | ed on their own particular fronts, im- | mediately suggests itself. In that event Rumania would de-| fend the Danube line against a pos- sible Bulgarian offensive in the Dob- ruja while attacking in Traasylvania. The freshness of her troops in that area against Lae weakness and war- | weary Austrians would undoubtedly | be an important factor. Access to the {enemy - territory is possible through the passes of the eastern Carpathians --Vercicrova, Vilkah, Ruthen, Turn (Rothen Turn), Predealu and Ghymes.
