PROTECT JEWS

BUCHAREST. Roumania, Jan. A
King Charles, who succeeded Ferdin-
and, his father, as Roumania's ruler.
says that he will champion the rights
of the Jews hereafter, they having
fought heroiCly for him in the late
war with Bulgaria. When Bulgaria
was having her hands full in the war
with Turkey, Roumania saw her
chance to regain strip of territory
between the two countries. which she
had always claimed but was too weak
to engage in a military contest for
Roumania invaded this territory, Bull
garia turned on her, and it was the
valance of the Jews which made it
possible for Ferdinand to hold his
ground. Now King Charles has vowed
that he will furnish all Jews proteC
ton who may flee to Roumania from
the prosecutions of other countries
The prosecuted Hebrews have been
arris ing in large numbers from Russia
and the assurance of the king that
they will not be moleSted will I'M
doubtley stimulate the influx.

MUCH MEAT IS
IMPORTED NOW

WASHINGTON, -. G, Jan. TN
an effort to meet the required de-
mands and to increase the supply of
meat that the prices would fall
below the present high rates an I'M
usually large amount OF beef was i'm
ported from foreign countries during
the last few months of 1918. The
supply of meat is now sufficient t.
equal the demands but the prices have
not been reduced materially.
According to figures computed hy
the department of agriculture slight
ly over 100000 pounds of meat
was imported into the country during
November ana December. This large
supply of beef is three times the
amount of meat imported into the
United States during the whole year
Of 1912. Practically all of the meat
imported came from South America
and Australia The agricultural de
partment states that the shortage in
meat is due to the falling off in the
raising of cattle in the Western
States.
