A Copen hasten dispatch to the Ex fb&ne Telegraph company says erman papers yesterday were nermitted to publish sensation al telegrams intimating that Roumania's participation, in he war might be expected at any minute. , The massing of tferman and Austrian troops on the 'Rou manian frontier resulted in the Balkan nation's making prep arations for eventualities. : A large part of the army has al ready been mobilized and the reservists in other countries had been ordered home. The steadfast refusal of Rou- mania to permit the. transpor tation through her territory of military supplies for Turkey by Germany is supposed to have aroused the animosity of the central powers. . Recent advices from-Rome were to the effect that negotia tions were under way for the formation of a new Balkan league to be composed of Rou- mania, Serbia and Greece. Bul garia, it was said would not be included in the negotiations because of her agreement with Turkey by which Bulgaria ob tained possession of territory along the Dedeaghatch railway. Montenegro will probably act in accord with the three other powers as she is already ar rayed on the side oftyhe entente allies. Hulgnria Asks Explanation. Rome. Sent. 18. (Via Pur In. Rent. I'.)

Protests Made Against Proposed Loan to Allies Washington, Sept. lt.tr-Protests against the Anglo-French credit loan have been received at the white house in telegrams " from various parts of the country. One man In Michigan wired that runs would be started on banks that participated in the loans and that a panic would be precipitated. No Indication of organized opposi tion, however, was apparent here, of ficials, averted. .Ka .protest , or-com-munlcation of any kind in regard to the proposed loan has come from the German . government, so far. as can be learned and the American govern ment, it Is said, has no present In tention of interferrlng with the efforts of the Anglo-French commission to raise the loan. Officials in close touch with the administration asserted that the ques tion had not hoen formally considered by the president or Secretary Lans ing. These officials held the view that Inasmuch as the purpose of the loan was to raise money for purchase of goods In the United States, It is tin- likely that this government will In terpose objection. One or two com munications have reached the state department, the general tenor of which Is to severely criticise the plan of the commission as distinctly unneutral. It Is authoritatively declared that the United States government will not objectto what Is known as the credit loan or a transaction in which the proceeds of the loan are used to de fray the purchases of goods bought In the XInited States. nan Progressing.

There was every indication, these bankers thought, that the commis sion's work had met with a degree of success that had fully equalled their expectationa This roey view... howeveik-dld not coincide with the sentiments of the so-called pro-German financiers here, who have not been Invited to meet the commissioners. According to what could be learned from bankers In close touch with the commission's work, the situation to night was as follows: Pledges already have been secured for a considerable fraction of the loan. Other pledges are In prospect. The so-called pro-Oerman banklnar houses of New York will be Invited to participate If the commission can be persuaded that they are sincere In their "expressions of willingness to do so. ! The billion dollar loan probably will be divided Into two and possibly four separate series of equal amount. Bonds upon which the loan will be granted will bear not less than five per cent.

Russian Duma Prorogued Till Middle of November (By W. T. Bost.) Raleigh, Sept. 16. The North Car ollna Corporation Commission has filed ,what It hopes to make the final word in the Virginia cities vs. North Caro I Una cities suit pending before the j interstate commerce commission the ancient freight rate controversy. . The case Is docketed "State Cor poratlon Commission of the Common wealth of Virginia, complainant, vs. the Chesfpefike and Ohio Railway company et als, defendants," but the North Carolina Corporation commis sion has had so much more defending to do than the railroad company that action has resolved Itself into a con- trbversy between the cities of the two stales.

These rates have had history. Governor Craig advised acceptance of the settlement brought about by the commission, but he lost in the muss meeting. Now everybody wants the baby born of that travail two years ago. The Virginia cities have called upon their commission to smite these rates. The commission in its brief says in speaking of the adjustment of rate dif ferences between carriers and ship pers amounting to $2,000,000, that the! purpose and the result of that adjust ment were the enabling "of North Carolina Jobbers and merchants to compete with Virginia cities, Jobbers and merchants in North Carolina ter ritory on traffic from the west. Prior to that adjustment the Virginia cities Jobber could buy from the west and reship to the city In which the North Carolina merchant lived at the same total rate of freight that It cost the North Carolina merchant to get sim ilar goods to his warehouse, and the Virginia cities merchant had an ad vantage over the North Carolina mer chant, at all other points in North Carolina equal to the local rats from the North Curollna jobbing center to the points of competition." ' The commission then quotes the In terstate commerce commission's opin ion In the Charlotte shippers petition U n yeare ago.
