CLEAR UP
RU MANIA

Especial to The Times.)


WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. g.
Arrival in Washington of Ameri-
cans returning from the seat of
war, clears up one of the conflicts
many mysteries - the Rumanian
riddle.
The disaster following Ru-
mania's entry into the war caused
political crises in France and
Great Britain, but politicians pre-
ferred political retirement to re-
vealing the truth. They had a
complete excuse, but to tell 1t
would have been undiplomatic.
Rumania, dominated by
coterie of corrupt politicians,
with a few rich land owners
and a 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-waitfng until the
contending parties had reached a
deadlock, then stepping in to de-
eide the struggle and reap spoils.
All thru the war 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 Rumania's weight would turn
the balance.
The higher allied commands
were convinced Rumania would be
wiped out by Germany; they knew
the army was rotten.
But they knew she was bound
to Jump in on one side or the
other.
With the remOrseless logic
characteristic Of French war
fare and statecraft, the
French general staff reasoned
1t would be advisable for Ru-
mania to go i'm with the al
lies, 30 in the retreat, the al
lies might destroy the oil
wells and wheat crop.
Early in the campaign the allies
prepared 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 we'll did they perform the
Germans have not yet succeeded
in putting the larger wells in COM
mission.
The Rumanian wheat crop Of
1916 was burned. The Germans
have put in a big crop for this
year which is approaching harvest.
Several divisions of the German
army equipped with hundreds Of
tractors 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 north
ern France.

the Cat had come back in a nat
ural way.
Il thought IL would" said the
Cat. and vanished again.
Alice waited q little, half ex-
pecting to see II again, but 1t did
not appear; and after a minute or
two she walked on in the direction
in which the March Hare was said
to live.
I've seen hatters BEFORE" she
said to herself; "the March Hare
will be much the most interest
ing; and perhaps, as this is May,
1t won't be raving mad-at least,
not SO mad as 1t was in March,"
She had not gone far before she
came in sight of the house of the
March Hare. She thought 1t must
be the right house, because the
chimneys were shaped like ears
and the roof was matched with
fur. 1t was so large a house that
she did not like to go nearer till
she had nibbled some more of the
left-hand bit of mushroom, and
raised herself to about two feet
high. Even then she walked up
towards it rather timidly, saying
to herself, Suppose 1t should be
raving mad after all! almost
wish l had gone to see the Hat
ter instead"

But when you come to the be-
