310 [?]. Answer to unnumbered telegram [304] from Department. I am informed that the Roumanian Minister at Berlin has reported to his Government in behalf of the Imperial German Government that Roumania having declared war on Austria-Hungary, ally of Germany, the Imperial German Government considered itself to be also in a state of war with Roumania. Bulgaria opened hostilities on Roumania without declaration of war.
