Name P. O R. F. D State INSURRECTION IN RUMANIA King Ferdinand Is Wounded While At tempting To Flee —Accompanied By His Family Berlin. —A general insurrection is in progress throughout Roumania, ac cording to a special dispatch from Vi enna. King Ferdinand has been wound ed slightly in attempting to flee from Bucharest with the royal family. Workingmen blocked the roadway from the royal palace when the royal family attempted to flee to Jassp and the king and his family were forced to return. The king was wounded when the workers, according to the report, fired upon the royal palace. Rioters in the streets of Bucharest are openly demanding the overthrow of the dynasty, crying “Down with the puppets! Long live the republic!” The Vilag of Budapest learns that the revolt is part of Bolshevik propa ganda. In a clash between the mili tary and demonstrators at Bekerst six ty persons were killed and one hun dred and fifty wounded. The discipline of the Roumanian army, the newspaper adds, is collaps ing.

LEGENDS SHATTERED BY THE OFFICIAL BOOK ON PRE-WAR DAYS Assassination Of Archduke Not “Stage- Managed” Decision On War Reached At Potsdam London. —Some of the accepted sto ries of the happenings of the momen tous days just prior to the war, it is understood, are shattered in a book based on official documents and per sonal notes of diplomats and officials. The book characterizes as a fallacy the belief that the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand at Sara jevo was a “stage-managed affair,” but it is asserted from knowledge gain ed from official documents that if the assassination had not occurred the war certainly would have been started very soon. The Potsdam conference of July 5, 1914, according to the book, was The Best and Most Popular Low-Priced General Newspaper and Magazine In the Country lower price, and yet something that carries all the essential features of a daily and the interesting features of a good magazine. The Tri-Weekly Constitution is just the publication to fill this place. It costs but $1.50 a year—so it is rea sonable in price. It is published three times a week—so its frequency of publication supplants this feature of a daily. It carries the full Asso ciated Press Cable and Telegraph dis patches, besides its own special serv ice—so the news is absolutely relia ble, covers the entire surface of the world and the telegraph insures swift ness. Its* market prices are the very latest up to the minute of going to press; the superfluous news of the city of publication and large advertise ments that do not interest the far-off reader are eliminated. In short, The Tri-Weekly Constitution is a compact newspaper for the man who wants in formation. It carries a brilliant editorial page, departments for farmers, women, chil dren, a poultry department, automo bile department, Sunday school les son, a weekly sermon by a distinguish ed minister, Frank Stanton’s inimita ble column, the very best fiction sto ries obtainable, photos of distinguish ed people, news pictures from all over the world, cartoons, humorous pio not what has been generally accepted. The meeting took place, but it was not a formal conference as has been declared repeatedly. It is asserted that many persons who were supposed to have been there were not present. Emperor William and members of the German imperial staff were present, how r ever, and, at this conference, Ger many definitely decided for war. The book was written by Professor Charles W. C. Oman, president of the Royal Historical society and aprofes sor of history at Oxford university. British Foreign' Secretary Balfour and Earl Curzon, government leader in the house of lords, are understood to have taken an active interest in its com pilation.
