Bulrarla. and Rumania havo arrived at
an. understanding by jvhlch these court-

Ptlt Fartsten. Rumania Is reported to

Rumania IS making active preparations
id enter the war on thesldo of tho Allies
If Austria rejects her territorial demands.
Dispatches received hero today said tho
success p'f the Italian armies has aroused
TVlld enthusiasm In Bucharest. A "war"
party Is bringing' pressure to bear on the
Government and the situation la' growing-
' more critical,
Berlin dispatches today corroborated
, tha report' that Rumania has made a
formal demand upon Austria for the
Session of territory' as the price of con
tinued neutrality. As in tho Italian
. jiffrotlatlans Germany will play the. rolo
of mediator. The Frankfort Gazette sug
gests that Austria make, terms with Ru
mania on un equitable baslB.
A dispatch from tho Berno corre
spondent of the Morning Post, uncon
firmed from any other source, reported
tcday that the Austrian Cabinet has
definitely decided to reject Rumania's de
mands. The Cabinet met Monday, tho
correspondent wired, with representatives
Cf the German Government present.
Rumania, according to reports now cur
rent Jn diplomatic circles, now finds her
self with a free hand. Two years ago
he renounced her secret treaty' with the
Triple Alliance, Since that time she has
accepted a large loan from England, but
despite this she. has been waiting to see
.which side would offer her the most and
which side waa apt to come out winner
in the European struggle. Her .first step,
If she enters the war, undoubtedly will
. be to throw her army Into Transylvania.
Bulgaria remains the enigma of the
Near East, and it Is the uncertainty over
what she Intends to do that Is keeping
Greece out of the war. Both Greece and
Bervla. 'suspect Bulgaria. Servla has been
. forced to keep 80,000 men on the Bulgarian
frontier since the beginning of the war

WASHINGTON, June 2. J. N. Bennett, an American citizen,
was shot and killed by Villa soldiers two miles south of Panuco
on the Panuco river, May 27, while in a launch with Carranza
soldiers, Vice Consul Bcvan at Tampico today advised the State
Department. Villa soldiers on shore fired on the launch. The State
Department will take up the matter with General Villa.
NOGAIYES, Texas, June 2. Ten Mexican bandits 'are reported to have
laid siege to the ranch house of I. E. Bowers, an American, near Noria,
Sonora, and Dowers and his wifo arc reported standing them off with rifles
WASHINGTON, June 2. President Wilson today served warning on
the leaders of tho various factions in Mexico "to act together and to act
promptly for the rellof and redemption of their prostrate country" or tho
United States "will be constrained to decide what means should bo cm
ployed in order to help Mexico savo herself and servo her people."
Ho Suggests that tho Administration will lend its "activo moral sup
port" to some man or group of men, if such may bo found, who can rally
tho suffering people of Mexico, in an effort to ignore, if they cannot unite,
tho warring factions of the country.

to dc employed Biiouia tne leaders not do able to agree on terms or. peaco
and end tho deplorable conditions in tho republic which have brought it to tha
point of starvation and caused the "people to cry for food."
The President's statement ' is addressed to tho American people, ' but
Secretary Bryan sent copies to Consul Silliman, nt Vera Cruz, to be shown
to Carranza; to the Brazilian Minister, nt Mexico City, for the benefit of
Provisional President Garza and General Zapata', and to Consul Carothcrs, at
Chihuahua, to be communicated to Villa.
PRESIDENT'S STATEMENT.
Tothe American people:
For more than two years revolutionary conditions have existed In
Mexico. The purpose of the revolution was to rid Mexico of men who ignored
the constitution of the Republic and used their powers in contempt of tho
rights of its people; and with these purposes the people of the United States
instinctively and generously sympathized.
But the leaders of the revolution, in the very hour of their success, have
disagreed and turned their arms against one another. All professing the
same objects, they are, nevertheless, unable or unwilling to co-operate. A
central authority at Mexico City is no sooner set up than it is undermined
and its authority denied by those who are expected to support It. Mexico
is apparently no nearer a solution of her tragical troubles than site was when
the revolution was first kindled. And she has been swept by civil war' as if
by fire.
REVIEW OP
Her crops are destroyed, her fields
fiscated for the use of the armed factions, her people flee to tho mountains to
escape being drawn into unavailing bloodshed, and no man seems to see or
lead the way to peace and settled order. There is no proper protection either
for her own citizens or for tho citizens of other nations resident and nt work
within her territory. Mexico is starving and without a government.
In these circumstances, the people
cannot stand indifferently by and do nothing to serve their neighbor. They
want nothing for themselves in Mexico.
Least of all do they desire, to settle their affairs for her or claim any
right to do so. But neither do they wish to see utter ruin come upon her,
and they deem it their duty as friends anil neighbors to lend any aid they
properly can to any Instrumentality which promises to be effective in bring-
