cd In person verbal ultimatum OF
the most drastic sort from the cen.
trail powers to King Ferdinand Of
Rumania. II has become known with
the arrival here Of the American Red
Cross mission to Rumania.
Count Cxernin's visit was known
only In the highest ofIicial circles
and the fact that II was made Is re-
vealed now for the first time through
A. correspondent OF the Associated
Press, who accompanied the mission.
The reason for the visit was that the
Germans and Austrlans had deter
mined to bring to a speedy conclu-
sion the negotiations with Rumania
and had decided that threat deliv-
cred In person by the head OF the
Austro-Hungarian foreign once
would be more effective than reams
OF documents. Nt
SO Count Czernin was sent on the
errand. He arrived, In Jassy about
February 25 and went straight to
the king. His manner was stern. un-
bending. ruthless. He told the king
bluntly that Rumania must con-
clude peace on Germany's terms.
There must be no further delays and
unless Rumanias consented to this
program, the central powers pro-
posed issuing an ukase deposlng the
Rumanlan royal house and dividing
the entire country between Austria
and Bulgaria. g
The Rumanian king saw no way
out, and, week later, the formal
peace negotiatIons, were begun.

Case Anaiast Albert c. Heber is Con

The case of Albert c. Heber of Beech street, who was presented in the police court on Saturday morning on the charge of perjury, was continued for week. Heber was represented by Attorney Thomas J. Kelly.
 The arrest of Heber was made by State Policeman Rudd and it is un- derstood the charge that is to be brought against Heber is based on the way he gave his age in applying for a license to drive an automobile When arrested he gave his age as 20, but it will be charged that he has driven a car for the last seven years. making his actual age B when he first took out license although IS is the minimum age required to secure a license. It will be shown from the records of the automobile cepartment that he gave his age as Is when he made his first application
 Disclosure of the fact that Heber had obtained q motor drivers license through false representation of his age was brought about, it is understood, through the mans failure to register for the draft for which he was eligible if his age seven years ago was IS, but for which he is not eligible according to the actual age he now claims.
