'RQNIANIA SUPPLIES
CENTRAL Powers
And Because Of Peculiar
Conditions Can Not Get
War Prices.

VIENNA, Dec. 15.(Correspondence
OF the Associated Press
has sold to the Central Powers $4,000
carloads of cereals, mostly wheat, In
dian corn and navy beans. The sale.
unlike some others which preceded 1t,
has been made at a reasonable market
price, and no special inducements
were offered, nor will 1t be necessary
this time to engage in the wholesale
bribing of Rumanian government and
railroad officials to get the purchases
out OF tho country.
Rumania was Obliged to sell to the
Central Powers because she cannot
sell to anybody else. The closing OF
the Dardanelles has locked the gates
to other markets, and Russia, the
only Entente power with whom Ru-
mania now has physical contact, is
not in the market for Rumanian GER
calls. So long as Serbia was still a
fact and a neighbor, Rumania was
able to ship some OF her foodstuffs
to Salonika, from where they could
be reached by Entente and neutral
consumers. Now this route is closed.
With the conquest of Serbia tho
Central Powers have gained greas
economic advantage. Rumania must
sell to them, II she does not wan. to
have her crops rot on her hands, and
what is considered just as important
here, must sell on terms more favor
able to Germany and Austria-Hungary
than she has in the past.
But in addition to selling to the
two empires, Rumania is also export
ing much food to Bulgaria, and even
T., thnT1A
a large supply OF wheat, barley and
other grains in Anatolia and SYRIA
Constantinople has not been able to
reach these easily, owing to limited
railroad transport facilities. Rumanlan
-four being more accessible right now
than Anatolian unmilled grain, the
city administration OF Constanttnople
has Just concluded contract for O
large quantity OF -four which Rumah'
Ia 10 to supply, the first deliveries be
ing equal to about 1000 carloads.
Much OF this has already been rushed
south via the new eastern Bulgarian
through route.
In addition to having no market
for Rumanian grain ana other food
stuffs, Russia has enough mineral oil
of her own, so Rumania will be OBJ
liged to sell this necessity to the
Central power group of belligerents.
Negotiat ons fora more advantageous
sale basis are said to be in progress.
Rumania's attitude in these mat
tiers, too, has diplomatic background.
Her government intends to remain
neutral as long as possible, and It Is
declared that she will join the CEN
trail powers in case pressure from En-
tente obliges her to take action. Well
informed circles here explain the sit
uation in this manner. The recent
mining OF the Rumanian Danube
stretches seems to support this view,
The mining OF these waters would en-
barrass no other than Russian ship
ping.
Meanwhile the Bucharest press has
begun to speak In plain terms Of Serb
las fate and the difficulty of Greece's
position. There is still large Austro-
Hungarian force on the Rumanian
frontier end papers like the Bucha-
rest Moldava never weary in pointing
out that hostile move by Rumania
towards Austria. Hungary or Bulgaria
would mako the country third
Belgium.

10 the Editor OF Womdn's Page:

Ing him az life partnert lie loves very
dearly and thinks l am only twenty-five. 1 do
not see that 1 need tell him, and we are very
eongenial. CHARLOTTE.
Under ordinary circumstances II is not
well TO have the difference In age so great
on tho womans side. Women age more
quickly than men, as a rule. II might not
be SO remarkable a difference now, but
when you are fifty remember he will be only
forty-two, and when you reach three score
and ten he will be In the early sixties II
Ia a matter TO be decided only by your
selves, but let me say this little word Of
advice: DO not try 10 keep your real age
from the young man. He would be sure to
find out you had deceived him In later life
and although he may not care at all now
II he truly loves you, he would care about
the deceit. Usually love to last should be
founded on respect, and IL is not very often
that woman of thirty will respect the ex-
perience OF a man OF twenty-five. OF course,
there have been cases where the difference
in age with the scale well down on the
woman's side has made no difference what
ever In afhappy married life. but they are
few. 1t

In the matter. but from a mistaken idea
OF honor deny her happiness?
Another case Is that OF a brilliant
lawyer who has found "the one" but
has given up all idea OF proposing mar
riage because OF a difference In religion.
OF course. we all know how much un.
happiness is caused by this very thing,
although why II should be has always

supposed to have the same love OF truth

seem as " little forbearance on both
sides would solve the problem.
