sons given are:
The triple alliance, to which Ru-
mania was a purty, was broken when
Italy declared war against Austria-
Hungary.
Austria-Hungary threatened the in-
terests and national aspirations of Ru-
mania.
Austria-Hungary's assurances that
it whs not inspired by a spirit of con-
quest or territorial gains in attacking
Serbia have not been fulfilled.

Tlie note, after defining the purpose
of the triple alliance as constituted
prior to file war and after declaring
that this i(lllunce no longer existed af-
ter Italy declared war upon Austria-
Hungary. fritiI as follows:
“Runiniilwl-eniahiod hi tin- peace

agreement In ferder to assure |ieuce and
to conserve tip situation ih- facto and
de jure, created by tlie treaties. Ru-
mania then found herself hi the pres-
ence of powers making war for the sole
purpose of transforming from top to
bottom the old arrangements which had
served us a basis for their treaty al-
liance. These changes were for Ru-
mania proof that the object she pur-
sued in joining the triple alliance 110
longer could lie attained and that she
must direct her efforts iu new paths,
especially us the work undertaken by
Austria-Hungary threatened the Inter-
ests of l^umaniu and her national as-
pirations. Consequently. Rumania
resumed her liberty of action.
"Tbe neutrality which Rumania Im-
posed upon IIself hi consequence of a
declaration of war made ludeiiendeutly
of its will and contrary to Its inter-
ests had been adopted as the result of
the assuramrs that Austria-Hungary

have not been realized.

change of a nature constluting a grave
menace to tlie future of Rumania. The
work of. pence which Rumania attempt
pd to accomplish in a spirit of faith-
fulness to the triple alliance thus was
rendered barren by the very powers
called uiHin to defend it.
"In adhering hi 1883 to the group
of central (lowers Rumania was fur
from forgetting tlie bonds of blood
constituting between them 11 pledge for
her domestic tranquility as well as
for the improvement of the lot of the
Rumanians of Austria-Hungary. In
fact Germany and Italy, who reconsti-
tuted their states on the hash- princi-
ple of nationality, could not but recog-
nize the legitimacy of the foundation
upon which their own existence roito.s
ed.
"As for Austria-Hungary, she found
in the friendly relations established
between her and Rumania assurances
of tranquility both in her iutjerlor and
■on our common frontiers, for she was
hound to know to what extent the
discontent of her Rumanian population
found echo amongst us threatening our
good relations.
“For a iieriod of thirty years the
Rumanians of Austria Hungary not
only never say a reform introduced,
but Instead were treated as an inferior
race and forced to suffer the oppres-
sion of a foreign element which nun
stitutes only a minority amidst the
diverse nationalities constituting the
Austro-Hungarian states.
"All the Injustices our brother thus
were made to suffer between our
country and the monarchy a continual
state of animosity. At the outbreak of
the war Austria-Hungary made no ef-
fort to ameliorate these conditions.
After two years of the war Austria-
Hungary showed herself as prompt to
sacrifice her peoples as powerless to
defend them. Tlie war, in which al-
most the whole of Europe is purtak-
$Wg,'.raises the gravest problems affect-
ing the nationul development ami very
existence of- the states.
"Rumania, from a desire to hasten
the end of the*x;i>iifllet hud to safe-
guard lier racial interests, sees herself
forced to enter Into line by the side
of those wbu, are able to assure her

these reason* Rumania considers her-
self from this motneut tn a state of
