Liquor Enforcement Strict

WASHINGTON. March 7.-Suspen- sion of two federal district officials at Rock Island, H., today by the department of justice was consid- cred officially an indication of the determination of the department to enforce strictly anti-liquor and vice regulations about army and navy camps. Field officers of the depart ment will be expected to take action on their own initiative to remedy im- proper conditions, it was explained, and not await prodding from the department
 Hundreds of prosecutions of liquor vendors and persons violating the vice restrictions have been made, and recent reports indicate conditions about most camps are good. The principal difficulties encountered in the cleanup movements were from city officials, who refused in some cases to assist federal agents in en- forcing federal regulations.

Rumanians Are Indiqnant

JASSY. Rumania, March A. Monday -(By wireless to Saloniki Tuesday, March 5.)- (By the Associated Press) Intense indignation is felt by the ar my and people of Rumania over the terms of the preliminary peace imposed on Rumania by the central powers. With its military forces scattered and its hopeless strater ical position, Ru mania had no recourse except to yield to her powerful and ruthless foe.
 The Rumanian example is pointed to as repetition of the bitter fate sui fered by Serbia and Belgium.
 The royal family is greatly depressed over the disastrous course of events. Both the king and queen, through the Associated. Press, express the earnest hope that the American people will have sympathetic appreciation of the tragical circumstances that forced peace on Rumania and that the warm friendship that has always existed be- tween the two nations will in no wise be impaired.
 Hopes For Ultimate Right
 Hope is felt by the royal family and the people that when world peace comes, some of the sacrifices now be- ing made by Rumania will be recoe- nized and recompensed.
 Rumania's delegates at the final peace conference in Bucharest will be MT. Argetoyanu, minister of jus | tice; General Lupercu of the Rus sian army; Colonel Pircescu, former military attache at Berlin; MT. Pa piniu, former Rumanian minister to 1 Turkey, and MT. Burchelle of the | foreign office.
 | The American Red Cross and all | other foreign missions in Rumania are making plans to leave, their de- parture being compelled by the peace l terms.
 Under the peace terms, Rumania not only will have to give up Do- brudja, lose control of the Danube and endure other great economic sac rifices, but she will be compelled to l (Corfin,,nd nr, Ion.ro rr,.-sA

 Quantities for Systems
TRepubllcan A. p. Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON. March Partial standardization of the purchasing of be- tween S1 ,0O0. .000, 900 and S2 ,000,000,00O worth of railroad supplies and equip ment this year under government sup crvision, is involved in plan for or ganiZing the railroad administrations division of finance and purchases an- nounced today by Director General Me Adoo.
 John Skelton Williams, as head of this division, will be assisted by a central advisory committee of three ex- pert railway purchasing agents and regional purchasing committees will be created for the eastern, western and southern operating regions.
 Wholesale Buying Methods
 Through the central organization will be brought locomotives, cars and steel rails, the principal big quantity pur- chases of railways, and an effort will be made not only 10 economize by wholesale buying methods but to standardize equipment and supplies.
 Fuel will be bought mainly by indi- vidual lines. but under the supervision of the regional committees. Cross ties and lumber are to be bought principally by the roads along their own lines, but may be ordered through the cen tral organization.
 All other supplies needed for cur rent operations will be purchased for the time being" says Director General McAdoo's statement, through the pur- chasing departments of the respective roads, but all contracts for periods of six months or longer must be approved by the regional committee before con- pletion"
 centraIize All Purchases
 As fast as possible all purchases will be centralized, and the regional committees are to draft recommends tions for accomplishing this. In ad- dtion, these three regional bodies will be expected to report details of costs and contracts to the railroad admins tration, with a view to giving all roads the advantage of efficient methods which may be developed.
 Railroad administration officials be- leve that eventually they can save more than a hundred million dollars a year by centralized purchlsing, al though no definite predictions are made for this year owing to the neces- sarily slow process of organizing a national-wide buying system.
 Members of the central advisory committee and the regional committed will be appointed soon. All will be practical purchasing agents or vice presidents of railroads. The regional bodies, to be composed of three or more are to have headquarters re- spectively in New York, Chicago and Atlanta, and are to work in close CO., operation with the regional rail execu- tive directors with headquarters in those cities.

WILSON PLANNING
>~--~,s ~~~
A SPEEDY REPLY
Col. House and Lansing Confer
With Him Several Hours
at White House.
WASHINGTON, March I.

J In spite OF authoritative suggestion to
the contrary, considerable significance
was attached here today to the fact that
Secretary Lansing and Colonel L. NJ.
House. President Wilson's unofficial adj
wiser in foreign affairs, took luncheon with
the President and afterward were in con-
sutation with him for two and half
hours, The impression prevails that the
discussion had to do with the situation
produced by the speech of tho Imperial
German Chancellor in the Reichstag and
the advance of the German forces in
Russia
Practically every one having knowledge
OF the attitude of President Wilson toward
the German and Austrian intimatons that
the Central Powers areNready for peace
is agreed that the President will not lose
the opportunity to answer the recent
speech of Count Won Hertling That
speech was so plainly directed toward
President Wilson's utterances before Com
gress on Feb. II that it is felt that the
President will discuss it in another ad-
dress to the Senate and House But the
President, according 10 the prevailing
view, would prefer TO wait until an ex-
preston of the Austrian attitude came
from Count Czernin, the Austro-lIunga-
rian Minister for Foreign Affairs, who
responded in what was interpreted in
some quarters rs a sympathetic spirit to
tho Presidents prior statement of Ameri-
en- : war aims
The presence of Secretary Lansing
and Colonel House at the White House
today is attributed to the presidents Is
desire to survey the situation produced
by Won Hertlings speech and the Ger
man advance into Russia, and try TO
forecast the position to dc assumed by
Austria-Hungary.
The belief prevails here that there is
. wide divergence between the views
of the Austro-EIungarian government
and the mllitaristc group which con-
trols at Berlin. Evidence accumulatcs
that the government and people Of Aus
tria-Hungary are out Of sympathy with

Some observers contend That the
rather pacific speech of Count Czcrnin
was diplomatic camouflage, aiming to
tempt the United States to enter into
peace negotiations with the Vienna Gov
ernment. II that was the purpose, it
has been futile, for the President has
laid down the principle that any peace
arrangement must be made with the

lie has rejected the dictum of Count
Won uertling that Germany will deal
with her enemies separately in discussing
the settlement of their differences.
II is expected here that in his next
address President Wilson will call upon
Germany and Austria-IIungary for speci-
fications of their expressed willingness to
enter into peace negotiations. In other
words, he will demand evidence of good
faith in their declarations The time has
arrived, it is held, when the Teutonic

pacific intentions and his partial accept
