\ ., Paris, June z. 5:O5 a. m.-Rumania has reorganized her army and Is ready, to, resume the hght, according to 4 statement made by Premier Bratiano in an interyieN With the PetroGrfd eorrespp dent th1 F4stSa |.s s ss he lqe ys \ Ayo flA Rumaziian Epreunier. has launched . new peace formula: Neither annexa- tions nor indemnities. She wishes to impose that formula on her allies and Rumania finds the formula accepta ble as far as she is concerned. She did not enter the war to make conquestS. Her single object was and is the libef- ation of Rumanian territories en- slaved by Hungary. which never had the right to dispose of themselves. My country Is keeping it's promises under the most difhcult circum- stances. It has been invaded by ar. enemy superior in numbers, it has lost its capital and more than half of its territory. It has suffered famine and disease but 1t has never given up the struggle. Today Rumania is ready to resume the fight; its army is perfect ly trained, and 1t has material such as 1t never had before.
 ''In the crises we are passing through. at moment when the war seems to be approaching it's final phase, Rumania, who kept her en- agreements toward the allies, has the right to expect that tho allies will re- main faithful to the terms of the treaty binding them to her.

Springfield, Mo, June 7.-The sev- en persons under arrest in connection with the alleged plot to kidnap g. jeweler named Clement, 8 baby and a St. Louis munition manufacturer today still maintained their innocence of any connection with the disappear ance of Lloyd Kent, infant son of J.

MORE ABOUT THE LAND-GRAB-
BING MONKS OF PASCO

My Dear Sir: l beg your pardon
for not writing sooner, but you
know how busy farmers are at this
season of the year. Thousand thanks
for the reply and booklets you sent
me. Every one that read the reply
said, you hit the nail square on the
head [ know you have taken great
interest in my case, and hope that
one day l will be able to show you
my gratitude.
The Abbott said in his new book,
that most Of the land was given to
them by people that had got stung.
| just want to tell you about one
piece Of land, how they got that A
man from the North by the name Of
Evans had a farm of 80 acres with
five acres of bearing orange trees.
He had man to take care of the
place and paid the man $35 dollars
per month for years. One day
the news came that he died AS soon
as the Monks heard of it they got
busy with the heirs, and made them
think Florida lands had no value and
the care taker would have to sell the
place for 4 months labor due him;
and they would sure lose the prop
erty and the Monks made a propo-
sitiOn to buy the so acres and give
$500 for it; and to send the deed at
once, and the money would be ready
as soon as the deed would come.
The heirs sent the deed, and the
Monks acknowledged the receiving
Of the deed: and that they would at
once start to say the 400 masses.
The poor people pleaded with the
Monks long time, to send them the
$500, but the Monks would not dis
burse, and they never got one cent
for the property. The 80 acres will
today, if put on the market, bring

get SO immensely rich.
You know the Abbott of st. Lew
had a vision and he found foun-
tain on the land he crooked my son
out of, and he is now erecting a
shrine, and he hopes to do land
office business very soon. Oh. how
long will the people permit such
humbuggery TO go on III this land
Of liberty and progress. Ihave- some
very good subjects to write you
about and will send it as soon as the

the good work going, is the daily
wish and prayer Of
