CZAR'S FORGES BEGIN BIG DRIVE
AGAINST BULGARIAN TROOPS
CentlimM from rare One
?,?hi!,n? 8Ld hr lde- '"we chcclted the first
ruan of the Rumanians which was under
taken before the Teutonic soldiers ltnew that
iiumanla had formally declared was against
Austro-Hungary.
Tho prompt declaration of war against
Jiumanla by Germany shows thai this coun
jry b going to take an Important part In
the operations precipitated by tho Interven
tion of the newest enemy of the Central
Pow ers.
Long before Rumania opened hostilities
"ifl German Ocneral Starr, foreseeing the
swing of affairs In Rumania, began massing
AUstro-acrniAn troops and artillery along
the Hungarian-Rumanian border and along
mo Danubo in Serbia. The Rumanian had
concentrated a heavy force of troops at
Turnu Severln, on tho Danube, with the
evident purpose of beginning a drhe Into
horbla. However, belief hat been expressed
by some military critics that tho Rumanians
will not Undertake any extensive operations
against the Austro-Qerman and Bulgarian
armies In the Balkans until tho Russian
army, which hns been stationed upon tho
Rumanian frontier In Bessarabia, has Joined
tho Rumanlano
Turnu Severln Is 7G miles from tho rail
way line which constitutes tho chief artery
of communication between Germany and
Turkey,
Rumania lost no tlma In striking her
first blow niter tho declaration of war, nnd
tho fighting which developed nt Rothen
thurm pass, south of Hermannstndt nnd
Tomas pass, south of Kronstadt, Is becom
ing more violent as reinforcements of men
and guns reach both sides.
Thero hae been exchanges of firing be
tween Rumanian and Bulgarian troops
across tho Danube, hear Rustchuk.
Tho Kaiser, who has been Inspecting tho
defensive works In Qallcla, will return to
Berlin this week. Ho will Immediately con
fer with the Vnr Ofllco and other Govern
ment orriclats upon tho military and eco
nomic results which may bo expected from
Rumania's entry Into tho conflict.
Berlin Is keeping cloto wntch Upon de
velopments In, Greece and tho press ha-?
begun to warn tho people that "further
embarrassment" may be expected In tho
Balkans. A similar tono was adopted con
cerning Rumania for two weeks before
King Fcrdlnnnd'H Government declared
wnr.
Significance Is attached to tho fact that
Prince Androw of Greece la now in I2ns
land and will bo the guest of King George.
A special train was provided for tho
departure of the Rumanian Ministers and
their stnffs to Oermnny and Auatro-Hun-gary.
Tho Rumanian Minister naked for
a farewell Interview with Doctor Von
Jagow, tho Gorman Foreign Minister, but It
was refused.
Germany, It Is statod. Is going Into tho
campaign against Rumania whole-heartedly.
There was not a dissenting voice In
tho Federal Council when It was proposed
that Germany Bupport Austria.

Tho patrol skirmishes reported In yes
terday's nniclal War ortlco statement may
mark tho beginning of nn Important en
gagement. The Berlin newspapers commentod with
great restraint today upon Rumania's
cntranco Into tho war. Tho general opin
ion of German critics Is that Rumania will
play no Important part In military affairs
except that It will bo noccssary to regroup
tho forces of tho Central Powers to some
extent to meet tho now enemy. Tho Lokal
Anzclgcr points out that tho Rumanian
declaration does not nffect the food situa
