World - history—human histary—has never before seen the like.” The chancellor declared that the German people again had an oppor- tunity to show. their appreciation of the heroism of the army by subscrib- ing to the new war loan. He as- serted that the nation firmly believed in sacrifice. “:Kmow we can also rely on the fighters bghind the front,” he said, “to give all’their available money to suppopt the gigantic work of our fighters in the field. With clenched fists, but open hearts, we willsstand behind them, ane man and ¢ne people.” Concluding his speech the chancel- lor exclaimed: ‘“Germany will not be permitted to think of peace while her house ig burning.

The contracting partles en- gaged under the treaty to assist each other in case of unprovoked attack by a third party. % “When the war broke out King Carlos with all his energy stood up for the ideal that Rumania owed to the central power, thirty years of political security and wonderful econ- omic development, and that therefore Rumania must support the central powers, not only on account of the provisions of the treaty but also for the sake of the country’s honor. The late king regarded as sophistry the objection that Rumania had not been informed in regard to the Austro- Hungarian demarche in regard to Serbia and had not been consulted about it. “But when the deciding session of {he, crown council was held the aged king did not succeed as against the government, whose prime minister, notwithstanding treaty obligations, sympathized with the entente powers. A short time later he king died in consequence of the emotions caused by realization that Rumania was a traitor to her allies. “The Rumanian policy was guided by Premier Bratiano, who at- tempted to gain giches without mak- ing great sacrifices at the expense of the party suffering defeat in the war. The main point was to discover in time which party was about to win final victory, in order not to be too late. Nevertheless during the first year of the war, probably after the fall of TLemberg, Premlier Bratiano, leaving his sovereign in ignorance, concluded a treaty of neutrality with Russia. ‘After the fall of Przemysl he thought the time had come to reach an under- standing, in regard to pay for Judas-, like treason, but the negotiations failed. Russia desired to increase her vast tervitory Dby taking Bukowina, while Rumania not only wished this same Bukowina but also all Hungar- jan territory as far as the Theiss.” The (;hr\nt‘r"llnr added that ln' spite of this failure Rumania’s policy of neutrality favored the entente more and more. He aid Rumania attempted to collaborate with the British efforts o establish a blockade of Germany, withholding grain purchases by Ger- many until the grain was obtained by means of energetic pressure. The premier again hesitated when the cen- fral powers initiating the offensive in Gallcia in the spring of last year, broke through the Russian line at Gorlice and W h:‘d’ placed his wager hor Negotiations with were almost suspended. “The Russian offensive this spring,” the chancellor continued, “made Pre- mier Bratiano believe he saw the %reaking down of the central powers. Accordingly, he decided to obtain a share when theé robbery of the dead body began.+ “In the middle of Atigust, Bratiano came to terms with our enemies. He reserved for himself, however, the de- cision as to the time actual hostilities were to be inaugurated, and attempted to make it dependent on military con- ditions. ’ “As late as August 23, the entente powers had not decided at what mo- ment Rumania ought to declare war. ‘We knew this from almost reliable source. The Rumanian army still lacked preparedness. “Phen events were precipitated. From infermation which may be con- lered reliable it appears that Rus » suddenly presented an ultimatum that she would cross the unprotected Rumanian frontier if Rumania did not berin war before August 28. Whether ultimatum was a piece of comedy anged with Bratiano, in order to influence the hesitating Kking, I leave undecided, but the die is cast.” now on the right the entente SUFFERS SHOCK AT SHOP.

SOMME LINE IMPENETRABLE Allies Will Never Be Able to Break Through, in Opnion of Chancellor Von Bethmann-Hollweg. London, Sept. 29, 6:05 a. m.—The allies cannot break through the Ger- man lines on the Somme, Chancellor Von Bethmann-Hollweg told the Relchstag yesterday, according to an account. of his speech cabled to Reuter’s by way of Amsterdam. The German prime minister made a sim- ilar statement In regard to the east- ern front. “The English and French, it is true,” he said, “have achieved ad- vantages. Our first lines have been pressed back some kilometers and we have also to deplore heavy losses in men and material. That was inevit- able in an offensive on such a mighty scale. But what our enemies hoped to accomplish—namely, break through on a grand scale, and roll up our positions—has not been attained. The | battle of the Somme will cost further sacrifices. Still another trench and another village, may be lost, but they will not get through.” In regard to the eastern front where, the chancellor said the Rus- sians had renewed their offensive with heavy attacks he predicted the same result. Referring to Rumania, the chancel- Jor said the old king of Rumania had died “as the result of mental ex- citement caused by the consciousness that Rumania had’ betrayed her al- lies.” The speaker said the entente confidently hoped that Rumania’s en- trance into the war would bring in its trafl the cession of Turkey and Bulgaria. “But Turkey and Bulgaria were not Rumania and Itlay,” he con- cluded.
