REPORT CONFIRMED
U. S. Learns Officially That
Germany Desires Minister to
Leave Bucharest.

The State Department today confirmed
the report that Germany has requested
the removal from Bucharest Of Charles
J. Vopicka, American minister to Rou-
mania. Serbia and Bulgaria.
1t is stated that the request is not in
the nature Of a demand for the recall
of the minister. and that the Teutonic
allies would not object If Mr.. Vopicka.
who is also ACCREDITED to the Bulgarian
government. established himself at the
present temporary capital of the Rou-
manian government at Jaffy.
The department, which is understood to
be considering the request fayorably,
was not able to confirm the report that
the Dutch minister had also been re-
quested to leave Bucharest.
Had Remained Behind.
Advices from the old Roumanian cap
ital last week stated that Mr.. Vopicka
had remained behind in Bucharest
after the retreat of the Roumanians
and the occupation by German forces.
In order to be Of assistance to such
Of the Roumanian civil population as
remained behind and might need as
sistance.
1t was ascertained from an authori-
tative source here today that the Ger
man government complained that Mr..
Vopicka was not entirely neutral in his
sentiments, and that his activities in
behalf Of the Roumanians at Bucharest
were ''inimical to German interests"
May Have Opposed Measures.
1t could not be learned what particu-
lar activities were complained Of, al
though It is thought nkelys that Mr..
Vopicka may have objected to certain
repressive measures undertaken by the
German commanders, in the way of
deportations or compulsory labor.
1t is stated that orders. will probably
be sent to Mr.. Vopicka to proceed to
Jaffy. There are said to be no Ameri-
cans at Bucharest.

The all-important thing is that your
furniture should harmonize-~H must fit.
1t is very necessary that every
piece in the room should be of the
same finish. A birdseye maple
dresser with walnut dressing table
and an oak chiffonier would mar
the attractiveness Of any room.
Then, individual tastes must be
considered. Birdseye maple or old
ivory would be Just the thing for
mother or daughter, while dad and

Such individual tastes may be
grotified here. We carry all the
usual, and many unusual styles and
