left her husbands house secre:l! and with
on, his consent, carrying away with he,
abou. 500 OF his money, his gold watch
and o,hea articles. which sns transferred
to The prisoner. But his counsel contend

yer OF stolen goods. without there frs: le

wrong because married woman could nc

Roumania,.

The fact that the Russians are usi1g
Roumania as the territory thrcughs which
to make their passage across the Danube
gives that country certain interest, aud
it may be that tho who have only old at.
lasses to consult will be puzzled to find
where that country is located. Roumania
is the name gwen to the united provinces
of Wallacbia and Moldayia 1.-THE name by
which they are designated on the old maps)
which were consolidated and guaranteed
autonomy under Prince of their own eiec
ton by the Treaty of Paris in 1856
The new government was organized in the
following year. 1t comprises a part OF
the territory which, under the Roman
Empire, was known as Dacia, and the
people take their language and Characters
tics from the settlement of the province by
Roman soldiers in the second century, after
the conquest of the Dacians. who were
among the most formidable foes of the
early Roman emperors 1t is on this ac-
count that the people of Roumana resem-
Bile more nearly the Latin races then the
Sclavic population of the ueighboriug
provinces. The chief city is Bucharest,
with a population OF about a quarter of
million, and the Roumanians are fond OF
designation it as new Paris. The IAN
guage spoken has been definitely c!assed
among the Romance languages, to which
the French, Spanish, Italian, and Portu.
euesse belong, and the people are describ
ed to be Of the same ,mercurial character
as the French and Italians 10 later times
the two provinces of Walachia aud Mol
davia were alternately under the dictation
of the Russian and Turkish empires. At.
ser the Russian war with Turkey, IN 1923,
Russia exercised protectorate over them
till the peace following the war of 1867,
when they were consolidated as Roumania,
and independence of the new country was
recognized ty both Turkey aud Russia.
The sympathy Of the Roumanian people is
supposed to be largely with Russia. 1t
is certain that the Russian troops are
crossing the territory without any op-
position, though that might be accounted
for by the fact that the Roumaniaus
would be powerful to resist this encroach-
ment There is little doubt, however.
that, if the Russians confne the war TO
Turkish territory, they will have the full
sympathy and secret, if not open, assis-
lance of the Roumanians
