R0UMAN1A WON'T LET AMMUNITIONS FOR TURKEY PASS Balkan State Reported to Have Em phatically Refused German De mand to Allow War Supplies to Go Through. STORY FROM THE DAJTE CAPITAL Paris Papers Say Austria Comes to Rescue of Accomplice in Arms Matter. NOTE IS CALLID LAUGHABLE LONDON, July 16. The corre spondent at Copenhagen of the Ex change Telegraph company quotes the Vorwaerts as announcing: "Roumanla has emphatically re fused to comply with Germany's de mands to allow weapons and munlr tlons to traverse Roumanla for Turkey." "Accomplice" to Reseae. PARIS, July I. "Germany Is too deeply Involved and too thoroughly un masked, so her accomplice comes to the rescue." says the Temps In a column editorial on the Austro-Hungarian note to the United States. The afternoon newspapers aenerally comment on the note, considering It a uhtl itlMnnt In ahlft the busts between Austria-Germany and the Tnlted States 'nuueme w,,n me men in previous ots from Oermany's "art of piracy to quea- very effective. In the the shipment of arms to the entente and the naval blockade," as the Temps puts It. The Temps points out, nevertheless, that In the Austro-German request that Roumanla permit the shipment of arms to their ally, Turkey, through Its neutral territory, the same obligations of neu trality are "Interpreted In their opposite senses, according to the Immediate In terest of those who consider themselves above right and law." Calls II Lausrhable. La Llberte asks editorially: "Will Americana let themselves be terrorised T" The newspaper considers the note "par ticularly laughable, Austria's ports being blocked not only by the Anglo-Krenoh, but also by Italy," and adds: "The note either Is a Muff or a warning that the Austro-Germana are going still farther In their criminal course of attacks on the persons and the properly of the United States." La Presse seys: "The export of muni tions to Europe Is a century-old tradition of American commerce, which neither tha representations of the Austro-Oemans nor dynamite altaoks on factories and vessels are able to bring the cHlsons of the United States to renounce."
