HISTORY OF NEW
 ROUMANIAN CAPITAL

When Roumanias government fleC 1 from Bucharest to Jassy, it was tht l fifth European capital to be removed
 from it's regular seat, and it makes
 one of a quartet still away-that oi
 France having been moved back tc
 Paris after the retreat of the leu
 tons from the Marne. A bulletin is
 sued by the National Geographic soci
 ety, whose headquarters are at Wash
 ington, says of Jassy:
 "Jassy, to which the Roumanian
 government was moved when the cen tral powers threatened Bucharest, lies in the extreme eastern section of Nor thern Moldavia, just few miles in- side the border from the Pruth, which forms the boundary between Russia and Roumania.
 Though hardly a fourth as large as Bucharest, it has always prided itself on having been the capital of ancient Moldavia. and has won the airs of metropolitan city and kept apace of the fashions of Western Flu rope in general and of Paris in par ticular, as well as Bucharest.
 'The population of Jassy is about 75,000, one-third of whom are Jews. Many of the old-line boyar families, with lineages going back long cen turies, retain their homes m the city, homes which were the center of of ficial life and gaiety until the prin- cipalities of Moldavia and Wallachia united and the capital was removed to Bucharest, in 1861. These old homes are stately. for they were built by rich land owners whose principal occupation was that of enjoying the luxuries that retinue of retainers as long as a kings list could earn for them
 "Jassy has a rich ecclesiastical his tory, and it's religious buildings to day are in keeping with that history. Just as the rich Mexican mine owner made penance for his sins and pro- yided a monument to perpetuate his memory by the single act of building a fine church, so the rich Maldavian boyar thought his career was not com pleted until he had built a religious edifice of some kind.
 With the surrounding forested hills these structures give the kind of imposing picturesqueness familiar to in novels of the Prisoner of Zenda type. According to Rou- manian tradition, this region has staged wildly romantic incidents
 One of the most beautiful churches of the temporary Roumanian capital, that of the Trei Erarchi, has exquisite Iace-like carvings over the exterior, in- cluding the towers, and was once gild- ed. During a Tartar occupation, wood was piled high around the building and fired, in order that the gold might be melted and carried off. An earth quake did further damage to the church, but it was later restored
 This conflagration is but one of he vivid moments of the city's his -ory. Her story abounds with pages of crimson and black when invaders with firebrand and sword swarmed Ipon her. The Tartars burned the city n 1513, the Turks in 153S, the Russians n 16S6. The peace of Jassy in 1702 i vas the closing event of the second | 3usso-Turkish war The years 1921 | md 1922 were stormy with events of ! he Greek revolution.

POLITICAL UPHfAVAL

Brazil Charged with Interfering in

Il. ". s. star CorrespondenO
Buenos Ayres, Aug. 7.-For some
time past there have been strange
rumblings IN the internal politics of
Paraguay, the agitation coming from
the civic elements. which are opposed
10 the present government and from
other dissenters who have Joined in the
light against the government. headed
by Senior Franco. whose cabinet con-
tains such famous personages as
schaerer. Gondra. saguier. Gaona.
chirife. velazquez, Soler. Gonzales,
Duarte and Zubizaretta.
Since the time. not far past. when
the tyraanies of the army d the
hlows OF the state succeeded each
other with great rapidity, politics In
Paraguay have had a quiet period In
which the national finances were slow
ly but surely recovering under the
auspices of the present government
and the public has-on several occa-
sions demonstrated its faith in the
government
Now. all Of a sudden, the opposing
elements form conjunction with the
deposed politicians. who are always
perpetual enemies of the existing gov

international politics are playing an
important part In this state Of affairs.
II appears that Brazilian diplomatists
believe IT. necessary to keep alive this
opposition in order to combat the
strong pro-German tendencies Of the
government. which until now, how
ever. has maintained strict neutral

In view Of the Brazilian activity In
the internal affairs Of Paraguay, the
Present upheavals are not difficult to
understand. some such disturbances
usually occurring in South American
republics which permit outside In
huences to direct their affairs.
The Paraguayan newspapers and
those of this city openly charge the
Brazilian Embassy with having awak'
ened and kept alive the tension be-
tween Paraguay and Bolivia concern
ing the old litigation regarding the
frontier between the two countries
The charge appears reasonable In the
face OF the fact that Paraguay and
Bolivia have let the question lie dor

OLD BLUEOVERCOATS
FOR NTERNED ENEMY

With tbs announcement that old
blue army overcoats are to be worn
this winter by the interned Germans
in this country, came another evil
denee of wartime economy on the
part OF the government.
The sentiment attached to the old
army blue was so strong in the quar-
termaster's department, however, that
it was decided to dye the garments
a deeper blue, rather than have them
worn as they are by enemies This
will mean an extra cost for each coat
Of nearly one dollar.
Bids for the dyeing are in the War
Department now awaiting samples
from st. Louis and Philadelphia firms
which h; re not yet been sent in.
