Allies' Indecision
Causes Roumania
To Fear to Fight
(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
ATHENS. Nov. IS. One of the lart Is
sues of the Balkan Courier, published by
the Serbian at their former capital, Nlsh,
contained a long explanation of Rou
mania' attitude, written by a prominent
Roumanian statesman, and published In
Serbia with the permission of the Serbian
censor.
"When It come to fighting Germany,"
writes the Roumanian spokesman, "we
are bound to tell you frankly that we are
too weak to defend you. I can well un
derstand that you In Serbia ore surprised
at Roumanla's Inactivity In the face of
Bulgaria's attack on you. Bat our atti
tude la dictated by the circumstances
which we have to face. If It were a
matter of a conflict between Bulgaria
and Serbia we should not hesitate to take
up arms on your aide, as, indeed, w did
In 1911 Unhappily, this I not a ws with
Bulgaria only, but it la a question of par
ticipating In the terrific struggle between
the Oermanto powera and the quadruple
entente. Serbia ha not been attacked by
Bulgaria, but by Germany, with Bulgaria
aa a subordinate ally.
"None but the great power of the
quadruple entente can face Germany and
It allies. But when can we count with
certainty on the effective Intervention In
the. Balkan peninsula of England and Its
alltesT Nobody can answer this ques
tion. ' Ws all know what Germany
wants and what Germany will do. But
doe anyone know wliat the quadruple
entente will do? Tou know very well
that the quadruple entente I not a har
monious whole. The agreement of Sep
tember 8, U14, only .bind Its constituent
not to conclude a separate peace; but no
provision was made for a common and
unified policy In conducting the war. In
this respect each . of the four power
(England, France, Rtfsala and Italy) haa
retained It own freedom of action. The
result I that in every new situation the
quadruple entente' I obliged to confer a
to what policy shall be adopted, and such
negotiations, even though they produce
perfect accord, Inevitably mean delay.
'Tou will surely understand that in
these circumstances every neutral coun
try, and particularly Roumania (with It
dangerous geographical position), must
take care not to Incur Ihe hostility of
Germany in return for the empty frlend
ahlp of the quadruple entente.
"This Is the secret of Koumsnla'a atti
tude, and probably of that of Greece."
Mr. Cyril Maude, the celebrated Eng
lish actor, will be the attraction at the
Brandeia theater for three day, begin
ning January 13. In "Grumpy, the play
that he appeared In for a full season at
Wallack'a theater. New York, and later
took to TUudon. where, at th New
theater, its Broadway success was dupli
cated. Grumpy" la a comedy, with a
good mixture of melodrama anj is the
work of Horace Hodea and T. W.'gney
Pcrcyval. It ha a detective story of a
very original type, and It calls tor char
acter acting of the very highest order,
the central figure being that of an octo
genarjan criminal lawyer of London, who
proves, when the honor of hla household
la af fee ted. to atUI rvtain the astute
roese and sleuthbound . instincts, -that a
quarter of a century previous had made
him the moat frrI proeeutor of Old
Baljey. Three of the scenes pl.ture the
life of aa KukIUU country home, and one
SUuipste surring Incident, in London.
The story is told with quaintly hunor
ous effect, and the rare characterisation
of an aged man, contributed by Mr.

greater favor than did "The Only Olrl,"
which Is to be presented at the Boyd
theater for three nlghta.and Wedneaday
matinee, commencing Monday, January
10, under the management of Joe Weber.
It was this manager who felt assured
that the combination of Henry Blossom,
librettist, and Viotor Herbert, composer,
could not poaalbly fall and that he was
right in hi surmise Is evidenced by the
fact that 'The Only Girl" ran the en
tire season in New York, for a time at
the Thirty-ninth street theater, and later
at the Lyric

Gertrude Hoffmann In "Bumurun" holda
forth the promise of being the most
pretentious act ever aent around the
vaudeville circuit. She come to the Or.

j Dummy Machine Gun
... to Scare Off Enemy
(Correspondence of the Associated Pres )
PDTROGRAD. Nov. 3-Dummy ma
chine guns, which make a noise like the
real thing and thereby scar off the at
tacking enemy, are reported to be one of
the latest Innovations tried by the Aus
trian on the southern front.
It Is a well known fact that Infantry,
once loosed on a charge upon trencheg
defended with rr.pld-ftre guns, are apt
to swerve Instinctively from points where
the Maxims seem to be thickest. How
ever dense the roer f heavy artillery
during attacks, the short, sharp barking
of these little guna Is still distinctly
audible. In order to Increase the psy
chological effect of machine gun f;re, th
Austrian therefore hit upon thj plan
of mounting In their trenehe', alternately
with real Maxims, a targe proportion of
dummies. Those produce a rattle Identi
cal In aound with that of the r?al gun.
and are operated by rapidly turning a
handle.
