COMMERCIAL WAR in BALKANS
Greece and ROumanin Forced 10
Hurt Trade Because They
Cannot Fight.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 6--An open break
between Greece and Roumania will, ac-
cording to private information received in
this city. soon make the dangerous situa-
tion in the Balkans still more complicated
During the beginning of the last month
Greece recalled it's diplomatic representa-
tive from Bucharest, and Roumania was
thereby forced to withdraw it's minister
from Athens. The immediate cause for the
breach was tho fact that the sultan recog-
nized the independence of the Koetso-
Wallschs. a people living near the Greek
border in Macedonia, which numbers per-
haps 100000 They belong TO the Rou-
manian race. but were claimed by the
Greeks 10 be under the command of the
Greek patriarch in Constantinople. Accord
ingly bands were formed on the Greek
frontier and expeditions sent among the
Koetso-Wallachs 10 force the latter to ac-
knowledge themselves TO be Greeks and TO
register that way. during the census. then
being taken in the Ottoman empire The
sultan did not interfere and the Koetso-
wallachs were forced to ask for the help
OF Roumania. That country, desiring TO
be represented in any future partition of
Macedonia, gave its help and it's inter-
vention led to the present situation.
As It is not possible for the two countries
20 attack each other. either on land or on
sea, the only damage they can infct on
each other It is stated. would be through
an economic war. in which. according "a
statistics, Roumania would have the ad.
vantage. From 1901 10 1904 the Greeks i'm.
ported S,s5oOOO francs worth of goods into
Roumania, while the Roumanian imports
into Greece did not amount to more thar
10000 francs. 1t is also pointed out that

suggestion that Industries should be started
at the national expense for the benefit OF
the unemployed as calculated to destroy
the springs of enterprise and energy of the
