Her Peace Will Soon End
(By Wireless)
PARIS, Oct. 12—The swirl of war
ring events that are taking place
on her very borders, is causing a
creat deal of nervousness through
out Rumania these days. Despite
her assurance that she will remain
r.eturai, «.*:»• omatic oh:-ervers con
•end that it is only a matter of a
few days before she is compelled to
take a stand, and while thus far,
her inclination has been to fall in
with the Allies, none can say with
any degree of accuracy what her
next step will lead her into. How
ever. it is held by some that the
moment Bulgaria attacks Serbia,
Rumania will not be found wanting.

tempt to explain his actions, that his
critics may more' fully understand j
the charges that Yiave been made e
gainst him. This, is is said. Sit
