Alleges False Impression.

Mr.. Fopicka was anxious to set the
Rumanans right" regarding their pur-
poses in getting into the war.
1T is a mistake 10 suppose they We're
acting selfshly," he said. They went
in with two objects--first to liberate
the 100000 Rumanians of Transsl-
vania: second. with tho idea OF short
ening the war. which they thought
would be ended within six months after
their entrance. Nor is il true, a. has
been said. that the Rumanians are
towards. They are good fighters
especially with the bayonet. They
thought they had a good arpy, but
events proved that they were unpre
pared.
The food situation in Bucharest
could not be worse The Rumanians
need as much help as the Belgians. The
Germans cannot give it. for they need
all they can get for military purposes
There was week When | could get
bread for the legation only by getting
the commandants permission to have j

KITCHENER ADVISED
NOT URGING Us TO WAR
Felt We Gould Shorten Conflict by
Joining, But Pinpricks Would
Keep Us Out.

London. Feb. 14.-Discussing the
prospect Of the United States entering
the war, The Saturday Review says:
1.-TWO years ago Lord Kitchener,
there can now be no harm in stating,
believed that If only America were
to join the allies. the effect would
be to shorten considerably his esti-
mate that the war would last three
years. He, therefore, opposed hos
tile references to tho attitude of
America and equally opposed the fool
ish habit of picking at her sleeve, tell
ing her Of the wickedness Of Germany
and urging her to come in. He held
that this was the way not to bring
America around, and no was right"
Continuing, The Saturday Review
thinks that the United States would
be of chief value in furnishing ships,
food, and money. AS regards an army,
1t comments, she Is late on the scene,
but II she once undertook to send an
army, she would set about making
soldiers as she sets about making
money. and Europe would SEQ Wilson
armies. Root armies. and Roosevelt
armies.

Valentine Hospitality.

Any one who Is too old to be inter-
ested in, and at least q little bit thrill
ed by Valentines Day, IL quite hope
less We ought never to get too old
to enjoy youth and the things which
stand for it.
Valentines Day is especially dedi-
Gated to the patron saint of love and
youth. There are many conflicting
stories why this is true. but we do
know that Valentine was q very good
Christian saint indeed, Of the third
century. The Emperor Claudius wish
ed to win him back again to paganism
and sent his emissary Asterius. to
bring this about.
Saint Valentine was 80 sorry for her
that he healed her, and Asterius was
won to Christianity himself This so
enraged Claudius that he imprisoned,
tortured, and finally beheaded the
Saint.
Perhaps-who knows-the girl may
have had a lover whose suit was not
permitted on account Of her affliction.
What would be more natural than
that once her sight was restored,
everything was beautifully smoothed
out and the young couple were happy
ever after? Naturally they would
hold in tender regard. the day when
their benefactor was deprived Of his
life in consequence Of his kindness to
them, and other lovers might we'll
join in celebrating the fourteenth Of
February, or the day when the patron
saint Of lovers was martyred.
Whether there are guests or not on
Saint Valentines Day, why not vary
the menu by having something pleas
ing to eat and some dainty decora-
,tions? The children and even the old
or people will enjoy the surprise and
