RUSS DISAPPOINTED
WITH ROUMANIANS
Found Them Poor Soldiers,
Says Or. Philip Newton, Of
This City.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Dr. Philip
Newton of Washington, who holds
the rank of general. in the Russian
army, conferred upon him by the czar
for his services with the ambulance
corps, returned yesterday on the
American liner New York after being
twelve months on the eastern front.
He said the Roumanians had been q
great disappointment to the Russians
because they had walked away in!
stead Of facing the enemy and doing
their share OF the flghting.
"As a Russian general described
them to me-" DIR. Newton went on to
say, 'The Roumanians have to knock
on soldering every night at z o'clock
to go fiddling at the cafes. They sold
out their crops twice, once to Eng
land and then to Austria, and elat-
ter government got the major part Of
the grain. When the Roumanisn
army Of 100000 went into the field
the men had nothing to sustain them
in the campaign.
Bowed To the Enemy.
'"The Russian cavalry rode twenty
five miles ahead Of the Roumanians
and captured four batteries Of artil-
lery; the latter just walked away
and let the enemy take charge.
THE Russians have 5000, 900 men
in the field. and another 9,000, 900
troops In reserve ready to be called
upon. They have plenty Of ammuni-
tion and q good supply of stores and
provisions to carry on the winter |
campaign"
DR.. Newton said that he took over |
sixteen automobile ambulances to |
Russia from New York a year ago, |
and was assigned to the army In the |
where they carried as
many as 2,200 wounded from the bat |
tie front In six days, In one attack |
on an enemy position, which lasted
sixteen hours, he saw four Russian
soldiers return unscathed out OF two |
regiments numbering 5000 men. Near
ly 900 men returned, he explained,
but only four OF them were whole |
men. One Austrian regiment that was
captured by the Russians were shoe
less, ragged, and i'll fed.

and Its Relation to the
High Cost of Living
Dollar balances when converted by United
States importers into the cuTrencies of SPAIN
Switzerland. Holland, Norway Denmark and
some other neutral nations, suffer loss Of ten
to fifteen per cent.
The foodstuffs and other commodities inn
ported for consumption in the United States
bring at these places of production an increase
of ten to fifteen per cent due to the higher cost
of living and general economic conditions. The
United States importer, however, when buying
for the United States consumer not only pays
this increased cost. but must also add to such
costs the loss of ten to fifteen per cent sustained
when converting his dollar balance in the
tries OF production, making altogether total
increased cost to the American consumer of
twenty to thirty per cent
The total exports of foodstuffs and other conn
moditieS from the United States as against the
total imports of foodstuffs and other commodi-
ties to the United States leave such an enor-
nous balance in favor of the United States that
the sale abroad of dollar balances in the United
States should bring premium over and above
its gold par value. The fact is, however, that
the total loans extended by the United States to
foreign governments and foreign merchants
must be added to the total imports, so that the
total United States exports must equal the total
imports plus the total loans made to foreign
governments and foreign merchants, in order
to equalize the balance of trade between the
United States and the rest of the world. An ex-
cess of exports over imports, plus the loans, re-
suits in a balance in our favor Excess of inn
ports plus loans over and above exports. results
in balance against U.s.
Spain, for instance: The producers and man
ufacturerS of foodstuffs and other commodities
in Spain, receive for same the Spanish medium
of exchange, which is the gold peseta. or the
paper currency issued by the Bank of Spain.
which represents gold peseta. These pro-
ducers and manufacturers receive a ten to.
fifteen per cent increase for their foodstuffs and
other commodities owing to increased cost Of
production. The United States importer, how
ever. not only pays this increase, but must also
add to such cost the loss of ten to fifteen per
cent sustained when converting the United
States dollar balance into the peseta currency
of Spain, so that the United States consumer
must pay double increase.

Peace Plea Written
by the Pope Himself,
Sent Out by Couriers

ROME, August 1.-THE Pope's peace
proposals were sent by couriers%to the
European governments. Arrangements
were made to cable the document from
account of the time which would be
required to forward it to those points
by courier or mail.
The Corriere dItalia. semi official or
gan of the Vatican. says that in the
court of arbitration destined to avoid
future conflicts the pontifical authori-
ties will be worthy of being represent
ed, being a guarantee of the disinter-
ested protection of the interests of
peoples.
The peace proposals of Pope Benedict
were written entirely in his own hand
writing. The Pope consulted Cardinal
Gasparri, papal secretary of state
Archbishop Ceretti. assistant papal sec
papal undersecretary Of state, in for
mulating the document.
Archbishop Ceretti. who arrived recently
from America, where he stopped on his
journey from Australia, is now supervis-
ing translation of the communication into
English The Giornale d1talia says the
papal appeal is the most impressive and
most concrete ever addressed to the bel
ligerents. giving them the general lines on
which peace negotiations may be initiated.
1t adds:
THE explicit terms in which the note
is worded led to the supposition that the
intentions of the two belligerent groups
are not in absolute conflict with the ideas
and hopes of the Pope"
The Tribuna expresses the opinion that
the peace proposals were made on indie
pendent initiative and that the entente
powers will not feel in any way con-
strained to accept them. although they
will receive them with the Difference due
the sender
The Idea Nazionale says it will abstain
for the present from expressing an opinion
as TO the opportuneness Of the papal
initiative.
