man carries alone in his heart.
Bucharest! Thy name conjures up
pictures without end in the minds OF
those who have been obliged to sur
render thee to the hated foe. We re
member thee with all thy faces, in
sunshine, in rain and in snow, we re-
member thee busy yet smiling, with
in thy streets all seemed happy, it
is to US. now that we are torn from
thee, as though we had known
naught but Joy within thy embrace.
What Is Thy Face.
What is thy face Of today, oh. Bu-
charest? Hast thou veiled thyself in
mourning because so many of thy
children have fed? Or dost thou wear
smile of false acquIescence, so as
not to draw down upon thy trembling
inhabitants the wrath OF those who
now call themselves masters and who
perchance keep thee in better order
than thine own children ever did!
Have thy proudest buildings been
desecrated with flags that are not
dyed in the three colors before which
each Roumanian uncovers his head?
Have the blinds Of thy windows
been drawn down so that those who
have remained should not see men in
pointed helmets marching to and fro
before the house OF thy King? Are
, the hospitals we prepared so tenderly
for our wounded filled with foreign
ers who speak rot our language, that
mock at our sorrow, rejoicing over
the misery they have strewn over our
land?
o Bucharest. I left thee without
word of farewell, who SO often have
been acclaimed in thy streets! 1t was
told that l must steal away from thee
in silence, show no Sorrow, say no
good-by, betraying no emotion, so as
to awaken no panic in the hearts Of
those who were to stay!
Like a traitor did I feel. like a cow
ard, to leave thee thus to thy fatel
To go away to know naught Of thy
sorrow. to leave thee unprotected to
those who soon would suck thy
hearts blood!
And Cotroceni! House that I love,
house that little by little l have mod
eIed to my taste, house that knows
the voices of my children, in whose
garden their baby-feet have toddled
about Cotroceni, l left thee, TAX
ing no leave of those who were to
r. main to protect thee, casting hardly
a look upon the rooms that once had
been my pride-I had the courage to
smile into the face OF the old family
servants, who looked at me anxiOusly
as though divining that my silence
hid some awful truth.
Took Leave of One.
Yes, left thee-and from one, one
only, did l take leave! But that one
was so small and so silent that never
will he relate what his mother said to
him in that hour before her flight!
II was evening-the shadows were
already stealing into the church, and
with them | slipped into the sane
tuary, where a heap Of white flowers
spread mystic light. And there be-

The Washington times., 1917-09-23
By the QUEEN OF RoUMANIA.

There is an hour of which I have
never spoken-an hour of darkness
and sorrow that could share with no
one, an hour when had to carry my
head very high so that none should
see the tears in my eyes, an hour
when naught else remained to me but
to look beyond the things of this
earth toward shadowy futures that
belong only to God.
1 had to be strong at that hour, not
to cry out, not to complain, but to
lead the way into exile very simply,
very quietly, so as to avoid all panic,
so that no one should be afraid.
Others depended upon me, all
eyes were turned toward me to see
how 1 would bear that which was un-
bearable, so was silent; at that hour
silence alone could help.
Three months have passed since
then, three long months-months that
could be years so full are they of an
guish and pain and grief. Months
that I have lived close to the heart
of my people, months when 1 have
heard their cries, and hoped their
hopes and feared their fears.
Months in which I have struggled
with them, and wept with them, doing
all that was in my power to ease their
burden and to dry their tears.
But II there are hours when silence
alone can render bearable the duty
one has to perform, there are others
when one has a right to lift up one
voice and to cry out ones longing and
ones regret
Three Months of Exile.
It is three months since Bucharest
was taken from US. since the enemy
struch at the heart Of our land! Three
months and today 1 want
all those who love and all those who
weep, and all those who regret, to
turn their faces with mine toward
that far-off distance, and to remem-
Der that which we have lost. {"
1t is to me as though I must climb
some very high mountain; up, up, up
till 1 reach its summit, so that from
there I might perceive at least the
smoke rising from that town which
once was our loved and cherished
center, and which now lies chained
and silent meath the enemy's reIent-
less sway.
Difficult it is to speak of ones own
sorrow when the suffering of all was
80 great, yet If today I speak of mine,
It Is because I know that II is my
country's sorrow, that a thousand
thousand voices are echo to mine
when talk OF that for which We are
mourning; of that which lies beyond
the line OF fire, that like a wound
upon a mothers breast cuts our dear
country in two!

To quote President Wilson, the

armed opposition to an irrespons-
ible government which has thrown
aside all considerations of humanity

who desires a clear-cut statement of
our position.
For Americans. there is bat one

prayer that the troubled times may
be set smiling again speedily.
