of the leading statesmen of Rouman-
Ia, and vice president of the council
OF ministers. whose resignation from
the cabinet King Ferdinand recently
declined to accept, talked with the
Associated Press today about the pres

the country would expect as con-

As 10 the future course OF Rou-
mania, VI. Jonescu declared the T1ou-
manian people would remain faithful

" whatever that end might be-" He
said Roumania. like the United
States, had drawn its sword in defense
OF freedom and justice and that tho

principles had been achieved.

RED CROSS
NEWS NOTES

Of the fourteen American Red
Cross divisions in the United States,
the Northern Division in Minneapolis
has been particularly honored by a
request for supplies from l.. c. Ro-
emo, member of the Italian commits
ion in Washington.
Mr.. Rodeno has asked j. H. Eli
On, director of the bureau of sup
lies, to ship to Baltimore for export
as cases or one and one-half car
6ads Of supplies. These supplies
will be used for relief work in Rome,
Italy.
George w. Peck Of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company,
of New York, has accepted the posi-
ton of director Of the recently Gre
ated Bureau of Benefits and Enter
ments which is a part of the Bureau
of Development. MI. Peck will serve
as a volunteer. The officers Of the
new bureau will be at National Head
quarters Branch, 222 Fourth Avenue,
New York City.
The American Red Cross has 4,576
Junior members in the Philippines,
of whom all but two or three hum
dred are natives. This is in spite Of
the fact that it is difficult to stir up
any interest among the native child
rem in war relief Or any other chart
able activities as they know so little
Vt world conditions beyond their own
mall home "barrio" (village.)
These Red Cross Juniors work haro
or the soldiers. They make hand
lerchiefs, splint pads, quilts, ice bag
covers, bags for crushing ice, strings
for pajamas, and bed socks. In adj
dition they have sent 500 to Wash
ington for a patron membership for
their organization. They have also
contributed $50 to feed hungry Bel
gian children.
That one of the most important
tasks of the American Red Cross is
to keep up the morale Of the French
people as a whole, through civilian
relief work is the message brought
back to America by Prof. James AL
exander Miller, head Of the medical
commission which the Rockefeller
Foundation sent abroad last summer,
and chairman of the medical commit
tee of the Civil Affairs Department
of the Red Cross in France.
Addressing the National war coun-
Gil of the American Red Cross in
Washington, DR.. Miller stated that
the French people are fighting largely
on their nerve and that they need
tangible evidence of Americas efforts
to help them. To date, the burden
of supplying the bulk of this tangible
evidence has fallen upon the Ameri.
can Red Cross, especially in connec-
ton with it's work with civilians.
Eliot Wadsworth, vice-chairman Of
the Central Committee Of the Amer.
lean Red Cross, and ex-officio member
of the War Council has arrived il
France. He will remain abroad fol
about two months, visiting the scenes
of Red Cross activity in France, Italy
and England. AS a part Of the policy
of keeping the Red Cross administra'
tration headquarters in Washington
thoroughly informed regarding actua
conditions where the field work is be
ing carried on, it is planned to have
the higher officials Of the organiza
ton make trips abroad from time tt
time. In every instance these of
ficials will pay all of their own ex
penses of travel and maintenance.
