Parcels and boxes taken into the German consulate at Bucharest with display of greal precantion aroused the suspicions of the Rumanian gov- crnment. On Aug. 27, 1916, the eve- ning prior to the date of Rumania's declaration of war, some of the cases were taken to the German legation, located in a different buliding from consulate.
