thing they possibly can to prevent the
Rumanians burning goods along the
countryside. Especially in small towns
many buildings have been fired and
schools destroyed. Many residences and
schools have been used as stables by the
refugees.
One can hardly sleep at night because
of the constant barking of deserted
dogs. Along the roads-lay dead or dy-
ing horses. Starving dogs gnaw the
flesh of these bodies and crows pick
at their eyes. The terror that is ap-
parent everywhere is in striking con
trast to the maps which hung in every
Rumanian home and which had been
used as part of the propaganda to get
the Rumanians to favor war.
These maps show "greater Rumau-
ia" the boundaries of which extend far
into Austria Hungary.
Instead of Rumania s ambitions be-
ing realized, Rumania herself has fallen

France Has Same Ideas.
Additional interest in the "recon.
struction of government here was due
to dispatches from Paris indicating
that at a secret session of the chamber
of deputies, France was also seeking
greater efficiency, more aggressiveness
and more compact organization in her
conduct of the war. Some dispatches
even limited at small "war board'

Lloyd-George and indicated the retire

At the morning meeting y the La.

Gated to his colleagues the invitation
he had suddenly received from Lloyd
George for the party to participate in
the new government. After Il general
discussion, Henderson was instructed
further to confer with Lloyd.George
and to report later.
According to one prominent labor
leader, there was general feeling of
regret among the party members over
Asquth s resignation as premier, but it
was perfectly evident that the party
was prepared to support any premier
who demonstrated his purpose to pursue
the war vigorously.

CANDIDATES AT RICHMOND
Montgomery and Helm Both Shaking
Hands With Voters Monday

Congressman Harvey Helm came
In from Washington Monday night,
as congress is doing very little for
two weeks during the national con-
ventions. He spent most of Monday
at Richmond, mixing with the voters
and motored from there with Mr.. H.
j. McRoberts, Miss Anne d. McRob-
erts and Miss Mary Bruce, who went
over after him. Mr.. Helm will put
in his time while in Kentucky look
ing after his political fences. His
opponent for the congressional NOM
ination, Senator Charles F. Mont
gomery, of Casey, has been making
quite but effective campaign over
the district, and his friends say he is
well pleased with assurances of sup
port which he is receiving. Accom-
panied by Col. T. L. Carpenter and
other trends he passed through here
early Monday morning en- route to
Richmond, where he also spent the
day campaigning and meeting the
voters.
