gallery of the house today while Brit
ish Foreign Minister Balfour and

message from the president of the
chamber of deputies of Rumania. The
message said the chamber Of deputies
hastened to express to the representa-
tives of the American house its warm
est congratulations on joining the war
against Germany.
Mr.. Balfour thanked the house and
said he had a profound sense of this
unique greeting"

President Wilson was one of the most
listeners and when he ended
his speech went to the well OF the
house where he began to shake his
hand.

Lord Eustace Percy, British trade ex-
pert said today discussing the econorn-

peace times, owing to the fundamental
change In demand, but the immediate
dislocation of labor that followed
proved not serious as it was all short
ly anchored into other lines of work
built up by war needs. The war had
proved for England, he said, a great
economic leveller. The essential re-
strietion he said operated about equal-
ly on rich and poor. The rich how

by income tax running as high as
33 1-3 per cent while the poor showed
unusual prosperity because of increas-
