Rumania's invasion of Austria

Hungarian territory continues in

the mountainous region from Pre

trozsiny, on the railway north

east of Orsovo to the Gyrogo

Mountains, 80 miles north of

Kronstadt On the Danube, from

the Iron Gate to Giurgevo, Rus

tichuk, Bulgaria, there have been

recipocral bombardments at sev

eral points by Austro-Hungarian

ware raft and Rumanian shore

batteries.. A Zeppelin and a hos

tile aeroplane have dropped bombs

on the Rumanian capital.

Austria's acknowledgement of

the retirement of her forces in

the mountainous region to previ

ously prepared positions in the

rear has been followed by claims

by Rumania that the troops of

King Ferdinand have arrived at

a point within three miles of Kron

stadt, the chief commercial city

of Transylvania. Vienna admits

that the Rumanians are engaged

with the Austrians in the Gyergio

Mountains which shows that off

the northwestern frontier of Ru

mania hostile forces have invaded

Transylvania sectors.

While Bulgaria has not com

menced hostilities against Ru

mania, a news agency dispatch

says Rumania has decided to send

an ultimatum to Bulgaria demand

ing the evacuation of Serbia. A

dispatch from Constantinople in

dicates that Turkey has declared

war on Rumania.

In the Macedonian theatre vio

lent fighting continues between

the entente allies and the Austro

Germans and Bulgarians. On the

Struma front, near Lake Doirian,

batteries of the entente have vio

lently shelled Bulgarian positions.

Drama, in the northeast of Greece,

has been seized by the Bulgarians

after a fight with Greek troops,

according to unofficial advices. An

Albanian detachment, under E

sad Pasha, has arrived at Saloniki

to aid the entente forces. An un

official dispatch from Athens

says the remobilization of the

Greek army is under considera

tion. Except for an extension of the

British lines south of Martinpuich

on the Somme there has teen lit

tle activity except by artillery on

the part of any of the belligerents

on the western battle lire. In the

Carpathian region the Russians

have captured Panker Mountain

and Rafaelov, near the Hungarian

Border.

FROM BUCHAREST.

BUCHAREST. Aug. 29. (Via Lon

don. Aug. 30.) Rumanian troops have

made progress in th. ir crossing of

the Austro-Hungarian fi'jntier and

have readied several points, including

a village east of Kronstradt, says an

official statement given out by the

Rumanian war office today. More

than 740 prisoners already have been

taken.

(By Review Leased Wire)

OMAHA, Aug. 30. A temporary in-

junction restraining the general and

j local officials of the order of railway

conductors from calling or enfoiciug

a strike on the lines of the Union l'a

cific Railroad was issued by Judge

Willis G. Sears of the district court

of Douglas County here today. Sat

urday, September 10, was set for a

hearing whether the injunction thall

be made permanent. Application lor

the injunction was made by Edwin E.

Hamilton, a member of the Order of

Railroad Conductors. The suit tiled

strike order is a violation of the con-

stitution of the conductors' organiza

tion. which provides for a two-thirds

vote on any road where a strike is to

be called. A change in this provision

last May, so that a two-thirds vote of

all concerned in a general wage move-

J ment governs all employes of rail

I roads, violates the constitution of the

ornr Hamilton asserts.

The temporary injunction restrains

strike" and from "issuing, circulaf ing

or promulgating said strike order,

of said strike and from doing any

injunction was made returnable Satur

day and was made out to the name of

Charles A. Brown, 66 years old, of

Bonner Springs. Kansas, a conductor

on the Union Pacific Railway for 31

years.

Brown in the petition, alleges that

should lie go on strike he would lose

his opportunity to retire on a pen

sion of $S0 a month in four years,

while if he does not go in the impend

ing movement he will forego his in

surance in the order which he has

kept for many years.

. The petition also alleges that the

majority of the members of the order

employed on the Union Pacific voted

against a strike and that union offi

cials availed themselves of the tech

nicality in the rules to overcome the

vote.

turn three regiments from New

order after a conference with

Kegiments to be sent home

were not designated by number

and it is understood their selec-

tion is up to General Funston.

Department officials think there

is ample l'jrce on the border now

to insure proper protection. The

policy now is to give all state

troops called into the federal

service opportunity to see serv-

ice on war footing on the bor-

EMBARGOES ON

(By Review

CHICAGO, Aug. 30. Throughout

the entire country today the railroads

gathered their forces to oppose the

strike set for next Monday.

A summary of the situation, made

by E. P. Ripley, president of the

Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe, who

was a member of the committee that

saw President Wilson, intensified the

pessimism felt here.

Mr. Ripley asserjed the railroads

can now see no hope of a settlement

before I .a bor Day and are making ev

ery preparation for eventualities.

Practically every principal railroad

in the country has issued embargoes

or is preparing to give them. They

affect perishable freight and livestock

(By Review Leased Wire.)

WASHINGTON'. Aug. 30. All the influence of the administration was

brought to bear today In an effort to persuade the railroad brotherhood lead-

ers to can,r'l or postpone the order

I leaders in Congress began paving the

cr stop the threatened industrial catastrophe. Little progress was made in

either direction, but nevertheless In official quarters they were still prevailed

that in one way or the other the walkout would be averted.

To the spokesman of President Wilson who appointed them, all tha

brotherhood officials gave the same reply, that they had no power to recall

the strike order and that only one thing a satisfactory settlement could

kep the men at work after Labor Day. Further pressure will be brought to

bear and as a last resort the President is considering a public appeal to the

men to have the order rescinded.

Apparently the legislation which is being counted upon to stay the

brotherhoods in that part of the President's program which would fix an eight

hour day for railroad employes engaged in operating trains in interstate

commerce and provide for an investigation of its effects by a commission or

board. This embodies the principal features ot fhe President's original plan,

accepted by the trainmen, and W. G. Lee. head of the trainmen, said tonight

that its enactment with a guarantee that the matter would receive prompt

action in Congress might go far toward satisfying the brotherhoods.
