On the hill just west Of the ponds

Now That CzerroWitz
Has Fallen, Is Question

PARIS, June 1s.-"What will Ruma nil
do?" is the keynote and the headline
on all comment in the morning news
papers on the capture of Czernowitz by
the Russians. Although forecast some
time ago, the news has been received
with enthusiasm.
All the newspapers agree that the
diplomatic results Of the fall of Czerno.
witz far exceed its strategical value.
They point out that the city Is the capital
of Bukowina. the irredentist province
of Rumania, which was promised to the
latter country in the event of her joins
ing the allies.
Bukowina has twice formed a part OF
Rumania, and the possibility of it's re-
turn to the kingdom for third time
has been eagerly seized upon by the
leaders of the pro-ally party in Ru-
mania.
The interventionists have lost no time.
and dispatches from Bucharest say that
they opened vigorous campaign yes
terday, and are confident that they will
be abls TO bring Premier Bratiano over
to their side.
