Greece Wavers BERLIN, Aug. 28. The Rumanians have invaded Hungary, it was officially announced today. BUCHAREST, Aug. 28. The Rumanian Government issued a note today setting forth the reasons why war was declared on Austria-Hungary on Sunday night. The causes arc enumerated as follows: First The Rumanian population is exposed to the risks of war and invasion by the Austro-Hungarians; Second Intervention of Rumania will shorten the war; Third Rumania decided to cast her lot with the Allies because they alone can guarantee her national unity. VIENNA, Aug. 28. The Rumanian Minister to Austria-Hungary left today. The minister called upon Baron Burian, the For eign Minister, at a late hour last night, and presented a note from his Government which stated that a state of war existed between Rumania and Austria dating from 9 p. m. on August 27. PARIS, Aug. 28. It was officially announced in Bucharest today that Rumania has declared war on Austria-Hungary. The decision to enter tho war on the side of the Allies was reached after a Crown Council held on Sunday. A dispatch from Geneva states that Rumania has already begun the move ment of troops preparatory to opening hostilities against tho Central Powers. Military censorship has been established in Rumania. Rumania is the fifteenth nation to enter the war. Previously there were ten on the side of the Entente and four on the side of the Central Powers. It is estimated that Rumania will be able to put 600,000 men in the field, Y out in addition to this reinforcement of troops, the country's entrance into the f jwar opens me way lor wie nuasuuis iu sbriitu ui uiu auavru-ucrraun ana jjui- J garian troops in tho Balkans. if . d n . - j" i. ... nussia massea an enormous army upon me .Rumanian ironuer, waning for the Rumanian declaration of war, which she was suro would bo forth coming." Thesa troops can now drive into Serbia by way of Rumania, thus J cutting off communication between Germany and Turkey. Bulgaria, long fearing a hostile move by Rumania, massed three divisions, the First of Sofia, the Sixth of Widin and the Fourth of Preslawa, upon the Rumanian frontier. Following the Rumanian peace assurance several months ago- and the withdrawal of a corresponding Rumanian force, many of the Bul garian troops were withdrawn and sent into Greek Macedonia.

Except for the overwhelming forces arrayed against the Teutonic Allies Bulgaria would probably welcome Rumania in the war, for Bulgaria ha3 borno bitter enmity against this country ever since the second Balkan War, when Rumania joined Serbia and Greece against Bulgaria. As a result of this conflict Bulgaria had to give up territory to all three of her enemies. General Averescu, former Minister of War, is to command the Rumanian army, it is reported. The final effort by Germany to prevent Rumania from joining the Allies was made last Wednesday when the Gorman Minister at Bucharest presented King Ferdinand with an autograph letter from tho Kaiser. ITALY'S ACTION FACTOR. What Rumania's Entrance Into Great War Means ADDITION of 600,000 troops to nrmies of Entente Powers. Combined attack of Russians and Rumanians from north, and French, British nnd Serbs from Salonica against Teutons and Bulgarfe in Balkans. Probable withdrawal of Bulgarian forces from Greece to halt invasion of Serbia. Invasion of Transylvania by Ru manian forces. Possible attempt of Bulgaria, Hungary and Turkey to seek a sepa rate peace. Probable loss of German prestige in Balkans, Probable entrance of Greece into war on side of Allies.

Italy's declaration of war on Germany yesterday may have been a factor In tho Rumanian declaration. It was generally understood that Rumania planned to enter the war with Italy In May. 19 IB, but the severe defeat of the Russians at about that time made it seem virtually certain that declaration of war would be followed by an Invasion of Rumania by Austro-German armies. It Is possible Rumania's decision may exert a tremendous influence on Greece, where the Venizelos pro-war party held treat demonstrations yesterday.

Va., Aug. 28. Many unusual features will figure In the trial of Dr, Oliver A. Howard, held in connec tion with the death of his wife, Frances Robertson Howard. Suspicion directed against Doctor Howard Is on the theory that he hilled his wife following a quarrel over woman suffrage. The first suffrage murder, If this proves correct, will have been brought to light by tha volunteer work" of seera) Marllnton physicians. ProsecutlntT Attorney Sharp, it developed today, has evidence gathered voluntarily by a committee of physicians who believed there was ground for investigation follow. Ing tha death of Mrs. Howard. The phy sicians examined the body after It had been turned over to an undertaker, They found no marks to indicate a narcotic had been used by the woman, as her husband had buggested. Nor at first examination were there any marks on her throat, though, as the undertaker expressed it, "the head seems to be Icose." One of the physicians hit upon a novel method of determining the cause of this. The tiklu on tha 'neck was drawn back, the adipose tissue distended and electrio light reflected upon It. The result was tha revealing of the print of a thumb and three fingers as clearly as a picture on a screen. Mrs, Howard's last suffrage activity and her first speech for the cause was on the day she died. Her husband and she had disputed on the subject, with some bitter netw, It la asserted, that morning. But Mrs. Howard went to the meeting and read to tha other women present President's Wilson let ter to the Jane Jefferson Club, of Denver, commenting briefly upon it. Twenty minutes after her return home her husband returned. Within another 10 or 15 minutes ha ran from tha building, calling for another doctor.

Comparison of today's temperature with that of last Monday shows a difference of 34 degrees. DusH fell over the city before noon today, making temporary twilight out of a "blue Monday morning. Tha greatest obscurity came about 10 o'clock, when tha myriad of lights of office buildings twinkled through the gray shadow of the low hanging clouds, and the streets In the business section lay deep and dark under tho veil. For halt an hour semi- darkness followed the densa clouds as they swung lazily over the city at an altitude of 1000 to 1500 feet. In the north and northeast tha darkness was Intense. For mora than an hour Kensington had the appearance of a city by night. Trolley cars and automobiles, with lamps ablaze, felt their way slowly through the unusual darkness and factories and stores turned on their lights. Vision was blurred beyond the distance of half a square. Chickens in the northern boundaries of tha city were astonished at the spectacle and followed their usual custom by wander ing coopward. The massing of clouds is a forerunner o cooler weather, according to the weather bureau) All such phenomena are caused by a shift in wind currents. It was said.
