A QUEEN SPEAKS.

Rumania is a small country. It's
maximum population is placed at
100000. For thirteen months this
little country has been in the world
war. fighting for the very right Of ex-
istenoe. At times the struggle has been
fearful and many were afraid lest Ru-
mania fall by the wayside. Through
the good example of tbs gallant Queen
Marie the people have followed on, to
do or to die. When 1t seemed that the
inevitable must happen, that they
must bow before the onslaughts of an
impending CRISIS, they were presented
with the encouraging view Of Aneri-
cas- entry into the war. They then
man of most democratic tendencies,
promises that the nation shall fight on
to the end, fight side by side with the
great Democracy. America. that small
nations may have some say in their
own government, that democracy may
continue to prosper and thrive on
earth. Never will we lay down our
arms, says this high-spirited ruler
until the cause to which we have con-
secrated our ives Is vindicated." When
Queen Marie sent that message to the
world she was engaged in Red Cross
work, attired in the simple gown of
a nurse. From such a person, one
| of the royalty who appreciates the
aims and purposes Of democratic peo-
| pie, f-hearted Americans may well.
| draw a lesson. They should know that
| the Queen Of Rumania has first hand
| knowledge of the aspirations of Ger
man Kultur. She knows what the
| German military machine would have
done had it broken loose after the in
vasion of Belgium, had 1t not been
stopped on it's way to 4. Paris. And
| knowing these things she re-af1irms
! her faith in another and higher ideal.
! She pledges that her people will never
| Law down their arms until the cause to
which they have consecrated their
lives has been indicated. So it shall
! be with America. Granted that our
cause is even a greater and mightier
one it nevertheless can have no nobler
end. We must go on until we go cover
the top and the Hapsburgs and Ho-
F.! time.
