RUSS ULTIMATUM
Entente Powers May Send
"Collective Ultimatum" to
Balkan Country
RUMANIA STILL NEUTRAL
Hour Has Not Arrived For Her
Participation in Great
War
London, Oct. 5, 1.40 p. m.—''lt
is Russia which lias precipitated
the trouble in the Balkans by in
sisting Uiat a handful of German
officers in civilian dress be expelled
from Bulgaria.*' was the Bulgarian
legation's comment on the situ
ation to tne Associated Press to
day.
Up to noon to-day in Petrograd no
answer had been received to the ulti
matum sent by Russia to Bulgaria.
Contrary to first reports, the ultima
tum was not delivered until 4 p. m.
Monday and the time limit was not due
to expire until 4 p. m. to-day, or 9.30
a. m. New York time.
According to a new agency dispatch
from Xish the entente powers were to
have supplemented Russia's action by
sending yesterday a collective ultima
tum t-o Bulgaria. Petrograd advices,
however, indicate the taking of such
a step was not looked for there.
The dispatches to a Milan newspa
per from Sofia says that a military
convention was signed some time ago
between Bulgaria, Germany and Aus
tria. An Athens dispatch to a London
newspaper declares that Greece was
obliged to raise "a formal protest"
against the landing of allied troops at
Salonigi (where French and British
forces are reported to have been put
ashore) because under the Greek con
stitution special legislation was nec
essary to sanction the landing of for
eign soldiers.
Rumania, according to quoted re
marks of her premier printed in Italy,
will maintain her neutrality for the
time at least, the responsible head of
the government declaring the hour
had not arrived for Rumania's par
ticipation in the war. .
Ultimatum Expected to
Clear Balkan Situation
By Associated Press
Paris, Oct. ?, 5' a. m.—Russia's ulti
matum to Bulgaria is welcomed in
Paris as t> means of clearing the Bal
kan situation. Little doubt is felt
here that France will take similar ac
tion, and that if the Russian minister
departs from Sofia he will be accom
panied by the representatives of Great
Britain, France and Italy.
Jean Herbette and other specialists
in foreign politics are agreed that the
allies must strike hard and swiftly if
they are to accomplish their purpose
in the Balkans, and that half measures
would be worse than useless. They
state that the entente powers should
send in 500,000 or 600,000 men. It is
stated that Italians have 500,000 idle
men under arms. Owing to the posi
tion of Italy in reference to certain
Balkan peoples, the Italians might be
precluded from landing troops at
Saloniki, but the suggestion is made
that they might assist the British and
French at the Dardanelles.
U. S. May End Friendly
Relations With Turkey
Washington, Oct s.—The Turkish
government will be formally notified
that unless the massacre of Armenians
ceases, friendly relations between the
American people and the people of
Turkey will be threatened.
Instructions to that effect had gone
to-day to Ambassador Morgenthau at
Constantinople for presentation to the
Foreign office. Officials here made it
plain, however, that the message did
not threaten a rupture in the diplo
matic relations between the two coun
tries.
The ambassador's instructions are
merely to Inform Turkey that the
American people, already are so stir
red by the reported massacres, that a
continuance of the atrocities might
result in a break in the friendly re
lations between the two people.

Martin G. Brumbaugh arrived here at
11 o'clock this morning from Bedford
on his tour of the State by automo
bile. The State Executive and his
party of eighty persons, including
many women, in twenty automobiles,
were accorded a hearty welcome and
a public rfteeting was held in the Pub
lic Square at which 4,000 persons, in
cluding members of Company I, of
the Tenth Infantry, National Guard of
Pennsylvania, Captain Wade T. Kline,
commanding, and many School chil
dren were in attendance.
Governor Brumbaugh expressed
himself as being satisfied with the re
ceptions he has received everywhere
on the trip. He left Bedford at 9
o'clock this morning for Ligioner and
enroute here short Stops were made
at Grand view and Stoyestown. At both
these towns the school children were
dismissed to hear the Governor ad
dress crowds which had assembled in
the streets in the business sections of
the two towns.
Arriving here, the Governor was met
by Burgess E. R. Griffth, members of
Citv Council, and a large committee
of business and professional men. A
committee numbering between forty
and fifty members of the Greensburg
Board of Trade came here by auto
mobile to escort the State Executive
to Greensburg. Judge A. D. McCon
nell, Cyrus E. Woods, Secretary of the
Commonwealth, and former Congress
man E. E. Robbins were among the
Greensburgers to meet the Governor
here.
At the meeting in the Public Square,
Governor Brumbaugh was introduced
to the crowd by former Congressman
Bobbins. The address was brief and
the Governor told of the good roads
in the territory which he had tra
versed and of the beautiful scenery in
Pennsylvania. He said that the
grandest scenery in the world is found
in Western Pennsylvania and asked
his hearers to advertise their beauti
ful towns and bring tourists there.
He compared the trip from Bedford
to this city as a drop from the clouds
to the beauty spot of the world. He
stated that the object of the trip was
to obtain information that would lead
to procuring better roads.
The party left here at 11:45 o'clock
for Greensburg.

Bloodstained Clothing Found
in Satchel at Schoolhouse
Special to The Telegraph
Marietta. Pa.. Oct. 5. Finding a
grip and satchel at the Adafnstown
schoolhouse has caused considerable
excitement in the community as it is
believed a murder has been commit
ted. The satchel contained blood
stained clothing, consisting of a wo
man's shirtwaist, petticoat, half dozen
handkerchiefs, a stickpin and a man's
newly-laundered shirt. Authorities
have began an investigation.
Whether or not the find has any
thing to do with the sudden disap
pearance of sixteen-year-old Fannie
Loy, of Adamstown, from her home
last week, remains a'puzzle. School
children made the find in the toilet
of the room and it has since been
learned that a light was seen in the
building on several occasions at night,
but no attention was paid as it was
presumed the teacher was there.

J
By Associated Press
New York, Oct. s.—Dr. Constantin
T. Dumba, the Austrian Ambassador
to Washington' who was recalled at
the request of President Wilson, sail
ed for home to-day on the Holland-
American liner N'ieum Amsterdam. He
was accompanied by Mrs. Dumba.
Dr. Dumba sailed under a safe con
duct arrangement made by the State
Department. The N'ieuw Amsterdam
will touch at Falmouth, England, and
then proceed to Rotterdam. From
the latter port Dr. Dumba will go at
i once to Vienna to report to his for
eign office.
Mrs. Dumba reached the dock about
twenty minutes before her husband
did, and immediately boardetl the
ship. Dr. Dumba was accompanied
by Prince Hohenlohe-Schillingfuerst,
the Austrian Embassy attache. As
soon as the former Ambassador step
ped from a taxicab he was surround
ed by newspapermen. He readily
agreed to pose for photographs and
walked to the end of the pier, where
the light was better.
Bears No 111 Will
I Dr. Dumba in his last words to
the newspapermen said:
"I bear no ill will towards this
country nor its people. I am deeply
sorry to leave at the present time, for
I have made many friends here and
I had hoped to stay longer to see
more of the country and its people.
That is all."
Dr. Dumba had previously said he
was not responsible for the order
barring all persons other than pas
| sengers' and officials from the Nieuw
; Amsterdam. He said he supposed the
steamship officials had taken the pre
caution to avoid confusion aboard the
ship or "perhaps to protect me from
cranks."
Thirty or more persons, several of
them connected with the New York
Austrian consulate, were at the pier
to bid farewell to Dr. Dumba.
