THE PERIL OF RoUMANIA

Roumania has stiffened its defense
on the Transylvanian border, but it
has lost Constanza, on the Black
Sea, its most important railway and
salt water terminal. 1t is now pos
siblc that Roumania may be as ut
terly crushed as was Serbia; and on
the other hand it is possible that the
country might, by holding back
Falkenhayn at the Transylvanian
passes, be able to gather enough
force, with Russian assistance, to
save Bucharest and ward off the
blow from the south.
Russian aid to the beleaguered
country will be given with difficulty,
because Constanza was needed as q
port for landing the Russian re-en-
forcements. Russia has sent troops
to the aid of Roumania already; but
they have plainly been utterly in
adequate to the task in hand, as the
Roumanian disaster testifies. On the
south, however, the allies are pre-
pairing to give assistance, from the
Saloniki front, that may prove quite
as useful as that from Russia would
have been.
The allies in control in Greece
have demanded that the Greek army
be removed to the southern part Of
the country; that is, it is to be far
enough away from the Saloniki front
to remove the menace Of an attack
on General Sarrail's army from the
rear. Further, the allied officials
will take over control Of all supplies
for the Greek army: if it gets un-
manageable, they will starve it. These
measures are extreme; but they
have been necessary in preparing the
way for a move from Macedonia to
help save Roumania. The fact that
such rigors have been inaugurated is
the best possible evidence that the
allied army resting on Saloniki is
getting ready to strike, and strike
hard, for the rescue of Roumania.
1t will never do for the entente to
let Roumania be wiped out. They
will employ every resource to save
it. The country is at a crisis, but il
is not by any means lost yet. There
was dire prediction that it would
by November l be under the steam
roller, ruined. Instead, November ]
is almost here and Roumania still
holds more alien territory than il
has lost of Roumanian area.

THE. RETURNING SOLDIERS

Field Hospital No. /, Of the Dis
trict militia, is home from the Next
can border, covered with laurels
earned by it's excellent organization
and efficient work at the front. Both
regular and militia officers agreed
that this particular unit was
especially 'creditable to the officers
and men composing it.
The experience on the border, in
conditions approximating SO closely
to real war that the difference would
be rather hard to define, while the
Judge advocate general says there
isn't any difference, has made a fin
ished organization of the District
soldiery. There has been a deep
seated pride in Washington by rea-
son Of the high quality Of personnel
in it's military organization, and the
excellent work it has accomplished
Possessing, as it did, rather more
strength in its organized militia, in
proportion to population, than any
of the States, the District was par.
ticularly fortunate in being repre-.
scented also by such an excellent
character Of soldiers.

BACK TO THE LAND--IN ENGLAND

The demand that the land be
placed within reach Of the people
who needed and would use it, had
gained tremendous punch in Great
Britain before the war started. Mr..
Lloyd Georges taxation measures
were aimed at making it thoroughly
improbable for even the man Of
wealth to own land unless he would
make it produce. England has an
immense proportion of land that is
sacred to the purposes of beauty and
pleasure, but not presumed to be
desecrated by cultivation.
Strange things have come to pass
in virtue of the war. Thousands of
Englishmen send word back from the
trenches that when they get home
they all assume that they are going
to do that-they want to live differ
emily. No more stuffy factories and
shops and Offices for them; it's the
great open-aired outdoors. They
want land; land to live on and work
on.
Up near Manchester, at the ia
nous town of Rochdale, recently, the
Land Naturalization Society held a
conference. Rochdale is the head
quarters and birthplace of the great
cooperative movement that started
over eighty years ago with group OF
weavers, and has spread until it now
employs throughout the country
over 100000, 900 capital and trans
acts near a billion dollars Of bust
ness annually. 1t started with moth.
ing but few pounds of capital con.
tributed by group of weavers, and
firm idea that it would work il
managed properly. Rochdale, il
short, gave birth to cooperative
merchandising; and now Rochdal,
proposes cooperative land holdings
1t is simply projection of the same
plan from merchandising to lant
owning and management; making
the land serve the people who mus
live on it, as the cooperative move
ment sought to save the profits o.
merchandising to the people who die
the business.
The idea of restoring the land Il
the whole public, and then utilizing
it in behalf of the whole public, il
gaining ground fast in Britain. Thu
Inauguration of plan for small
holdings, comparatively controlled
was most appropriately put forwar'
from Rochdale. The statesmen an
economists OF the United Kingdom
are devoting much attention to tn
various aspects of the land question
and nothing seems too radical to ge
a serious hearing. In Ireland, gov
eminent, provided funds at extreme
ly low rates, to help the peasant

That on such occasion he mounts an APP

II Is small wonder so little Is known.
The average citizen may see fire from
back of the police ropes two or three
times a year, but he doesn't know how
fires are fought, what apparatus are
used, how alarms are sent In. how addi-
tional forces are summoned. how pro-
motions are made. how good service IL

salaries. are paid, what duties are
demanded Of the various officers, or
what multitude OF things must be
thoroughly known by a fireman to make
him fit to command at fire. Yet all
this brilliant and meritorious service II
rendered for l2k cents per hour for $50
days out Of 1855. Good citizens, this dos
