The Crown Council went into im mediate session following a merit ing of leading politicians with for mer prime minister"; ..cabinet mem bers, and financiers. Th? dispatch received here has not yet been confirmed from any other European capital. Latest advices from Bucharest, all heavily censored, reported that the Crown Council would continue V discussion of preparations for war" 'in today's further sessions. Italy's declaration of war on Oer many, made Sunday and becoming effective today, is believed to have been possibly the determinative fac tor in bringing Roumania to the decision to enter the conflict. , Rouman'a Is the fifteenth nation to enter the war. Her 'action will probaTily exert a tremendous in fluence on Greece, in which coun try the war-party held a big dem onstration on Sunday.

Roumania now has under arms 600.000 thoroughly drilled and splendidly equipped soldiers, mili tary service in that country being compulsory for all able-bodied men between the &ca f twenty-one and forty-s'x. Roumath's chief reason for en tering the war is the hope o annex Ing the Austrian provinces of Transylvania and Bukowina, which are inhabited largely by Roumani ans. The German Federal Council met this morning and is expected to de clare war against Roumania within twenty four hours. Bulgaria and Turkey are expected to Issue simi lar eclaratlons today.

Aug. CS i ew peup t realize ths :nipirtance tif the Le.l'-ca tie industry in Njrth Carolina. Coupled v.-.th tbe po.i.iil iiies for the growing cf un;iy cud letter le t cat:!.-," it ssems teaon ub'.e to surp se that a greater in terest would be taken in this in dustry. The importance also of beef as a nutijiious food l'inis it self to the development of this in dustry. Through the erc.diction of the catt'e tick, thus leaving free three-fourths of the counties in the State, th's port Ida of North Caro lina has been placed adjacent to the open territory of the whole United States as a market for the products produced in this State. Apparently little significance has been attached to the fact that North Carolina depends for the major portion of Its beef supply on outside . States. Even the products which are shipped ln are not of the hlghejt quality, althpugh usually the price paid for these products would purchase a hl?h-grade arti cle if secured through the proper channels of trade. Even a large number of the cattle which are grown, in western, North Carolina are sniped outside ot the State to be finished and marketed. This is. one of the greatest drawbacks to the upbuilding of a larger and bet t?r Industry throughout the entire State. Most of the beef cattle grown ln N' r'h Carolina are produced ln the mountainous sections, these cattle bein: sold off gnss In the fall as two and three-year-olds, weighing from 900 to 1,100 pounds. Cattle in bucTT condition are not ready for a consuming madket, as these cattle must be f"d a certain a mount of grain lwforo they will command the best price. Unfortu nately', however, tbe cattle from our best beef-producing sections' are. largely finished In other States swh as Virginia, Tennessee. Ken tucky. Georgia, and South Caroline., thus leaving the manure, a valu able fey-product of the lef rattle feeding industry to replenish farms in other States. Following this un fortunate s'tuatlon most of these cattle find their wnv into Northern markets, . where they are slaughter ed, and the formers and other pa trons of this State, then buy them back, paying the. profit to the feed er, the commission man, the whole sale and, in some cases, even the retail butcher. These conditions are, under any circumstances, very unfavorable, and can be remedied only by an ad Justment of conditions whereby the cattle produced In our own State will be finished and consum ed therein. This can be done as soon as farmers awaken to the fact that they can finish their cat tie as well as farmer in other States, and can command the same prices when they are so finished. This, coupled with the fact that the meat patrons of our own State shou'd renl'ze that under proper conditions home-grown beef is as good, and often better, ian that purchased outside of the State, should lend a marked stimulus to the development of the industry. This wMl be followed by other ar ticles goln? more specifically Into ways 'n which beof rntfle enn be profitably produced on the farms of this State. John J. TashJ'an Is back from his vacation which he sppnt In New York and Chicago.

The railroads' executives have de ferred final action until they have had t'me to consider the new pro position. The President still stands pat for in his demand for concession of the eight hour principle, but is will ng that sufficient time elapse before it Is put Into effect to Per mit the" commission- of five men, appointed to Investigate the situa tion, to work out the details of Its application even as much as a year, if necessary. The President is willing to sub mit nil issues to arbitration with the exception of the eight hour day as the basic day in computing the trainman's pay. The Brotherhoods are said to ap prove the President's new stand. WILL PREPARE FOR STRIKE In the event of a strike the Broth erhoods will open the $1."!,000,000.00 chest containing funds to finance the strlke.The m'llion will be doled out In sums of forty dollars a month to the trainmen during the period of the strike. The great fund has been gafher'ng by weekly contributions made by members, of the brotherhoods during a long period. INSTRUCTIONS ALREADY GIVEN One little code word wired to every railroad center ln the coun try would now be sufficient to pre cipitate the threatened strike. Runn'ng Instructions, in the event of a strike, have already bpen glv en. When the strlke Is called all trains will be run to the nearest Junction where the engine fires will be banked and the engines oiled, after which the men will peaceably leave the premises.
