RoUMANIA KY IN EUROPE WAR

One of the minor problems of the
European war, and yet one whose in
f1uence on greater things may be de-,
cisive, now faces Roumania. What
part will she take? Roumania has an
active army of $50, 900, with a trained
reserve of 100000, she has ambitions
of territorial expansion at the expense
of Austria, and is a neighbor of both
Russia and Servia. Russia may be
worsted in the forthcoming struggle,
but she cannot entirely be swept
away from the European board. Aus
tria, on the other hand, may easily
lose her place in the world. Rou-
mania, if she exercises neutrality to
the detriment of Russia, Servia, or
actively opposes them, stands to lose
a good deal e..zA---.------.-

TO BUY COTTON.
Chewing Gum King to Purchase
S1,OOO,OOO Worth of Cotton.

gum manufacturers, announced to-
day that 1t had evolved plan to use
portion of it's capital end credit in
'helping a little" to relieve the
financial situation of the cotton
growers and invited other manufac-
turers to follow the same idea.
The details are given in a letter
mailed by President Wrigley to re-
tail dealers in the cotton states US
follows:
I'VE will take from YOU middling
cotton at 10 cents per pound. not
only for the amount of your present
indebtedness to us, but also to cover
any purchases you may make from
us up to December 81. 1914 The
only stipulations are that the cotton.
for which you charge us 10 cents 4
pound and warehouse for our ac-
count, must be taken from needy
retailer, who in turn is taking it
from a needy farmer, and that when
our purchases of cotton in this man
ned have reached the sum of ST.
100000 we are at liberty to discon-
tinue the arrangement IL we think
it is necessary to do so. You, of
course, understand that our only
possible object in buying an article
at three cents a pound or SO higher
than the market is to help our good
friends in the South just at this
time"

is the only channel through which
food can be introduced into Belgium.
By it's association with a committee
in Belgium it has an efficient agency
for food distribution. II. c. Hoover.
chairman of the commission. today
issued an appeal to American news
papers in which he said:
I'VE have received reports from
members of this commission who
were sent into Belgium. Their re-
ports show that there are still some
100000 people in Belgium. In
many centers the people are receiv-
ing an allowance of little more
than three ounces of flour per capita
daily.
Our experts calculate that to
avoid actual starvation Belgium
must have every month minimum
of $4,000 tons of wheat, 5000 tons
of corn, 5000 tons of peas or beans
and limited amount of bacon or
lard. All this will cost $4,000. 600
of S5,00O,00O monthly. There is no
money in Belgium. The whole credit
machinery has ceased. Eighty per
cent of the people are unemployed.
"A plan may be devised whereby
such Belgians as possess property
may give obligations to pay when
the war ends. but even If we could
realize on these obligations we must
still have at least S2,5OO.O0O month
ly in food or money with which to
buy it.
During the past week we have
received and expended in emergency
food 100000 and yet this is only
four days supply. The problem is
immediate. The Belgians are help
ing themselves, but they can do
little. The British and French are
under such strain that they also can
do little. Besides these nations. to-

ASKS TEACHERS, NOT LAWS.
Education Can't be Legislated Into
People, Says Swearingen.

Spartanburg Special to Charleston
News and Courier, Oct. 31.-What
is needed to combat illiteracy in
South Carolina is not new laws, but
more teachers and a more earnest
spirit Of cooperation among the peo-
pie, said ]. r. swearingen, state
superintendent OF education. who
passed through Spartanburg today
on tour OF inspection OF the schools
Of the county.
Mr.. Swearingen. in an interview
said the seriousness OF the educa-
tional situation was not to be min;
mized, but that il was folly to think
that all that was needed to stamp
out ignorance was some new laws.
More teachers were required. he
said, and to illustrate his point, drew
attention to the fact that in one
school of this county there was only
one teacher for 100 pupils.
Above all else. however. Mr..
Swearingen put cooperation among
the people. If they would get to-
gether and do what lay in their own
power to remedy conditions. instead
of depending on their law makers
to solve the problem, the situation
would soon be improved. is the
opinion of the state superintendent
of education, and the ratio OF Hit
eracy in Spartanburg county. which
he said was now about % per cent.
soon would be reduced.
