WASHINGTON, D. c., July 81
Arrival in Washington Of Americans
returning from the seat Of war, clears
up one Of the conflicts many myster.
ieS-the Rumanan riddle.
The disaster following Rumania's en-
try into the war caused political crises
In France and Great Britain, but poll
tlcIans preferred political retirement
to revealing the truth. They had a
complete excuse, but to tell it would
Lave been undiplomatic.
Rumania, dominated by coterie Of
corrupt politicians, with few rich
land owners and mass Of ignorant
poems, was ready to join either side.
She was frankly out for loot.
She had played the same part in the
Balkan war-waittng until the con.
tending parties had reached a dead
lock, then stepping in to decide the
struggle and reap spoils.
All through the var her politicians
had played both sides and taken brides
running into the millions.
In the fall OF 1916 they believed the
deadlock had been reached and Ru
mania's weight would turn the balance,
The higher allied commands we're
convinced Rumania would be wiped

out by Germany; they knew the army
was rotten.
But they knew she was bound to
Jump in one one side or the other.
With the remorseless logic charac'
tenstic Of French warfare and state
craft, the French general staff rea'
soned it would be advisable for Ru'
mania to go in with the allies, so in
the retreat, the allies might destroy
the oil wells and wheat crop,
Early in the campaign the allies pre-
pared to destroy the oil wells in the
retreat which they saw inevitable. The
work was done largely by an American
wrecking crew-Standard Oil men with
commissions in the British army.
So well did they perform the Ger
mans have not yet succeeded In put
ting the larger wells in commission.
The Rumanian heat crop Of 1916
was burned. The Germans have put
in big crop for this year which is ap-
preaching harvest,
Several divisions Of the German
army equipped with hundreds Of trac'
tors and gang plows have this task.
The work was under the supervision
Of The same experts who planted the
huge crops in the rear OF the German
lines in northern France.

four months started upward. By Feb
ruary 8, 1915, 1t had climbed to $50,
In most cities there was no protest
against slight increases, enough to
cover the advanced flour prices. But
mmediately flour started down again,
and bread also dropped,
Then August3 1916, flour once more
bega nto soar, Once more the bakers
laid their cards on the table, Bread
prices were boosted to their present
figure, and, because the public knew
$3.50 flour neCessitated the increase,
It acQuiesced. Then flour prices drop
ped for the second time. They have
been going down ever since. And ever
since the public has been waiting for
bread prices likewise to tumble.
They Haven't Tumbled.
And the mystery is all the deeper
because, whereas flour on any given
day sells at practically the same figure
the country over, bread sells at the
same figure In almost no two cities. In
Louisville cents pound, in Omaha
10 cents, in Memphis IL cents, and in
Bridgeport Is cents.
Government food control alone can
solve the big mystery. But II congress
can talk and talk why can't West Vir-
glnian readers?
