RUSS SOCIALISTS TRY TO
DETHRONE RUMANIA KING

Budapest, Aug 4.-The Hungar-
ian paper Az Est learns that numb
er OF extreme Russian socialist agia-
tors recently invaded the unoccupie1
part of Rumania and tried to stir up
Il revolution against King Ferdinand
and his government. Some of the
radical propagandists, according to
statements made by captured Ruma-
MAN soldiers, worked among the
troops at the front and were aided by
Russian soldiers and officers.
In one of the Rumanian regiments
the agiators were partially success
full. A serious mutiny occurred and a
number of soldiers deserted, but the
government in Jassy acted promptly.
BY order of the War Minister, gen.
eral round up Of the revolutionary
propagandists was started with the
result that about twenty Of them were
arrested within few days. Three
of the Russian anarchists were sent
enced to death by a court-martial and
shot at once.

brother will be waiting for you down
the lane at the hog pen. He wont
want you to see any tears in his eyes
and he wont take any chances.
But hard as these propositions may
seem to most of you there is a still
harder one to face, for no mention
has been made of the name of all
names Mother, but she will be there
whether you can look into her face
or not. You will feel her hand as she
lays 1t gently on your shoulder, her
eyes may be dry. for the fountain of
tears may have exhausted its supply.
Her voice may be calm and her hand
steady for she will try to brace her
self for the supreme test and she
will be possessed of the grace suffi-
cient unto the hour. But all of you
will not find her the same, some of
you may have to leave her hysterical-
ly weeping, and though she may still
possess traces of youth and beauty
you VIII De IOTCeQ 10 realize tHdt
when you see her again she may have
burrows in her cheeks, and wrinkles
on her brow, and some of you will
have to leave her feeble and old and
gray, and when you have passed out
of sight around the hill she will
whisper good bye forever and with
Bonded form and tottering step make
her way back into the house the
light of her life gone out, only able
to think and dream of you as she
hopes to see you in a world where
wars never come.
But whether the hand is steady or
shaking whether the hair is gold or
gray its the heaviest toll that fate is
taking when it takes her loved one
away.
And boy for her sake be brave and
show yourself loyal and true that
the world may know that she gave the
best that she could in you.

RESTAURANTS; FRENCH
ENTHUSIASTIC.

Paris, Aug. 4.-Paris has been in
vaded in force by United States Off
GERS and sailors from the ships ar
rived in port. In all the bars, cafes.
and restaurants the American naval
uniforms are everywhere in evidence.
Young ensigns dressed in their
white, neatly fitting jackets and
trousers, white shoes, and white caps,
furnish a scene such as Paris has not
gazed upon for some time. In all of
the chic restaurants the frequenters
lay down their knives and forks in
admiration and whisper to one
another, "les Americans"
While the Partisan is getting used
to the American military uniform, the
naval uniform, particularly the white
parade dress, is new to the eyes and
furnishes a district relief from the
khaki of the army, the light blue of
the French and the field green of the
Italians.
One man, whose appearance stamp
ed him Enthusiastically as an American,
was waylaid over a dozen times by
American bluejackets and asked the
way to the Folies Bergere or the Oh
ympia. When it came to purchasing
tickets the bluejackets al wanted box
seats or orchestra chairs. In nearly
all the theaters the orchestras play
the Star Spangled Banner" during
the performance and American tunes
during the intermission.
Needless to say the officers and
tackles" have sprung into instant
popularity and quite won the Paris
heart.
