RUMANIA SHORT OF ARMS;

London, April 2s.-The "Daily

swers the question "Why is Rumania
not yet in the feldf' as follows:
because hitherto she has not had a
sufficient supply Of ammunition to
make her position safe. Rumania al
ways has kept small supply of am
munition because her plans were based
on the hypothesis that she would be
fighting on the side of Austria in any

however, was denounced at the begin

strict concerning the blouse milady

considered correct for country wear.
These are made in white, colored or
striped linens, rose and green predom-

buttonholes are bound in a color to
match the stripes and the closing fas-

The creditors of J. N. Deeter, bank
rupt, at meeting before John T. Ohm.
sted, as referee, this afternoon selected
