Ths other papers also refer to this as being the sole reason for Rumanian action, declaring that eagerness to teach, Bulgaria a lesson has caused Russia to do her utmost to induce Rumania tp enter the war. i A strategic regrouping of the Austro-Hungarian forces, the newspapers contend, was absolutely necessary, and while the evacuation of Kronstadt is regrettt-d attention is drawn to the fact that the military situation called for this maneuver.

Close to 5,000 Jews, It was witnessed the exercises. The chief speakers were Dr. Max Goldfarb, iabor editor the "Forward," a New York Jewish daily, and A.

a member of the New York state legislature. The former, after tracing the growth of the labor lyceum movement in Europe and the spread of the movement to the United States, asserted that the erection of these buildings in this country proves, the labor class to be the most idealistic in the United States. PROMOTE SOLIDARITY. He made this assertion as a reply to a reported utterance of axlm Corky to the effect that "The dollar is the only ideal in the United States." In setting up their labor lyceums, where they meet for social the labor class proves, stated Dr. Goldfarb that they have before them r'so the Heal of promoting solidarity.

Mr. Shiplakoft also emphasized, the value of the labor lyceum as promoting the strength of the workingmen and urged that the Pittsburgh labor organiza-tiens make full use of their opportunity. Rev. G. Herbert Ekin of the Xorthside made the opening address.

A concert by Rolen's band was offered early in the afternoon. The honor of flaying the cornerstone was warmly contested for by representatives of the labor organizations present.

WERE TAKEN UNAWARES. There is no doubt that the central governments were taken unawares by Rumania, owing to assurances given by Bucharest, which, however, it Is asserted here, consisted of nothing more than a well-planned, well-executed series of deceptions. The latest reports from Transylvania, it is contended, prove that the Rumanians and Russians started hostilities a full hour before the Rumanian minister at Vienna, Mavrocordato, presented the note to the Austrian government declaring war. The people of Vienna accept the new situation philosophically, rinding comfort In the thought that the list of their enemies soon must be exhausted. The Rumanian declaration seems to have importance here only so far as a longer front now is exposed to the Russians and there are 500.000 new troops to meet.

Confidence is expressed by the people in their own and the troops of their allies as well as in their leaders. The appointment of Field Marshal von Hinden-burg as chief of the German general staff Is not the least factor in this confidence, his name meaning as much to the Aus-trians as to the Germans.
