The Illinois Centennial* building commission, in one of the shortest hearings on record In the circuit court became the possessor of a tract of land known as Charles street and the Ed­ wards school property or a total mm of $4,990. The property transferred has a Value that Is considerably more than iras agreed upon, but the difference tb value is donated to the state to in­ jure the erection of the Centennial Me­ morial building. Charles street was secured from the city for a consideration of $1, while the old Edwards school grounds were aecured from the school board for $4,- Pension Rule to Aid 30,000. According to estimate : Grand Army men, nearly 30,000 Iliinoisans will benefit by the passage at th^ last session of congress of the Ashbrook law, which Increases the pensions of widows of Civil war veterans. The actual number of widows of vet­ erans is not obtainable,at the Grand Army headquarters, but 30,000 was given as the outside estimate of the number of beneficiaries of the law. The last Grand Army census gave 11,101 veterans of the Civil war living ill Illinois and members of the G. A. R. According to an official of the or­ ganization, there probably is an equal number of Illinois veterans who are not G. A. R. members. Of these 22.000 veterans, it is believed at least half have wives living, and in the majority of these cases It Is expected that the wife will survive the husband. In ad­ dition to these women, there also are at least 7,000 widows of veterans now living in the state, it was said. By the provisions Of the Ashbrook law, all widows of veterans, who mar­ ried prior to June 27, 1905, are eligible to a pension of $12 a month If they are less than seventy years old. Those who have reached seventy years will receive $20 a month. „ ^ The previous pension law provided for the payment of $12 §. month to ali widows of veterans whose marriages occurred prior to JtSTie 27, 1890. There was no provision for an increase at the age of seventy years. * The new law, therefore, makes eli­ gible as pensioners all widows of vet­ erans whose marriages occurred be­ tween 1890 and 1905, and gives $20 a month to those of them who are seven­ ty years of age or older. Two thou­ sand such women, Grand Army officers say, will be at once affected in Illinois, and will receive pensions of $12 Or $20 a month, accord! ujjpto age. The property was secured by con- w' *' i 4emnation proceedings under the right ".f *„ e-.* of eminent domain. The case was j filed in the circuit clerk's office and T "."-"'•n immediate hearing was held before V-=r?; •- Judge Creighton, and a jury fixed the "A I 'w| Value of the property. The Centennial Commission in a short time is expected to file further proceedings to secure possession of property needed for the memorial structure. The city, in addition to transferring .^Charles street, also made a cash .do­ nation of $2,500 to the citizens' fund of $100,000 imposed by a legislative jjact, so that Springfield would get the new state structure.

K1MG OP ROUMANIA FEAftS HA/ TION WILL BE CRUSHEOv liV'.V * p STAKES ALL M CONFLiet Ferdinand Says Country Was Not Moved to Eoter War by Mere Expedi­ ency, But Decision Was Based Wl Biggest Principles of Nationality. London, Oct. 16.--The Times pub­ lishes an interview given to its coire- spoudents with the KoutuaBia urmy by the king of Romuania, In which the fitonurch appeals to the allies not to permit his country to suffer the fate of Serbia and lieljdum. "The Roumanians will not falter,'" the king said, "in their allegiance to the cuuse, nor can the enemy wean them from their faith in their allies. Yet the Roumanians pray that. In spite of their existing exigencies and their o*-» huge problems, the allies wiJl not allow the affairs of Rot*- mania, who lias staked her all In this conflict, to pass Into the back their minds and to suffer her to meet the fate of either Belgium or Serbia." King Ferdinand said that Roumania had not been moved to enter the war by her expediency, but that her deci­ sion was based on the biggest princi­ ples of nationality. "Against Germany," continued his majesty, "there was, at the beginning of the war, no hostility, rather, per­ haps. friendship, for economically, Ger­ many was an asset to the development of our Industry and a potent Instru­ ment In forwarding the prosperity of our country. "But with the progress of the war Roumania began to feel the subtle force of enemy Intrigue endeavoring In every way to force? us into the struggle against oar own real Inter­ ests. "If Roumania has been criticized heretofore, let the world consider her position: A small power, with a small arm^, surrounded by giants, facing a practical problem. "With a western frontier nearly 700 miles long, which alone was greater than the English and French fronts combined, and Bulgarian frontiers, al­ most undefended and near her capital, stretching for other hundreds of miles to the south," she had to await the time when she could act with reason­ able assurance of prpotectlng herself and having the support of her allies. "A small country in a great war which promises to last for at least an­ other year, faces certain intjynal sacrifices and the consumption of her resources. But such 1st the confidence of Roumania In the justice of her cause and the faith of her allies that she has cast her lot with them in the conviction that her great associates wili see that she does not prove to be the third small power destroyed in the great conflict." Despite slight gains recorded for the Roumanians in the Bucharest of­ ficial. war office statement, Au^tro- German-Bulgar forces continue their crushing iiut-eracker tactics and have expelled the Roumanians from further portions of Transylvania. A strip ofL territory lo eastern Tran­ sylvania, paralleling the Roumanian front and including the Gyergyo and Miszek galleys and the upper and lower Cslb, hnve been cleared of the enemy, according to a Berlin war office statement. =, i vt, .-his GERMAN DIVER ON WAY r.; STATE HAPPENINGS.

Baltimore, Md., Oct. 17.--The mys­ tery surrounding the cause of the spread of infantile paralysis has been solved, according to an official an­ nouncement made on Sunday at Johns Hopkins hospital. Extensive research conducted by Dr. Horace T. Burrows, pathologist Of the hospital, has result­ ed In the discovery of the infantile paralysis germ, the existence of which was established nine years ago by Dr. Simon Florner of the Rockefeller in­ stitute. According to Doctor Burrows, the disease is not spread by contagion but the germ is introduced into the human system through the mouth in milk or water. Present always in every case of the disease a germ has been found In the big Intestine, showing that the disease is spread by some raw food. The Investigators find that house flies and- other Insects undoubtedly help to spread the germ from one food to another. / The spread of the disease Is so much like that of typhoid fever and Its method of communication that the in­ vestigators are sure they have hit upon a way to mftke an antlpollomyelttis vac­ cine like the antityphoid vaccine that stamped out typhoid in tbp United States army.
