RUMANIA DEFIANT,
TO GET ULTIMATUM.
PARIS, Sept. 3.
The Rumanian question has be come extremely acute. The supreme council has decided, owing to the absence of any Rumanian reply to recent botes, to send an envoy to Bukbarest to present a time-limit ultimatum. In the event of noncom pliance the Allies will break off diplomatic relations with Rumania. It is understood that the ultimatum to Rumania deals mainly with repara tions and the Rumanian evacuation of Hungary. The Allies will insist on Rumania recognising that all requist- tional goeds, rollingstock, Evestock. etc. must be handed over to the Allies for redistribution according to proportions fixed by the conference, Rumania agreeing to pay the Allies for uhreturnable foodstuffs. Rumanian diplomatic representatives in the varicus Allied capitals will be acquainted with the very drastic character of the ultimatum and the extreme gravity of the situation which will arise in the event of refusal to comply with the Allies! demands.
PARIS, Sept. 4. According to the Rumanians the Allies long note of Aug. 23 had not been received at Bukharest on Aug. 31. The Allies' short note of Aug. 25. was received on that day.
