 Rumania is known to be ready to rise again against her German oppressors with the slightest encouragement. Also the people of the Ukraine would be glad to seize the first opportunity to lrepudiate that part of the Brest-LitovslS treaty which arbitrarily disposed them of their liberties and reduced them to Yassalage.

KNEW COUNTRY WRONG

It is considered possible that Min lister Panaretoff may have exerted no small influence with his friends in Bull
 garia to bring about the decision to quit the war. No statement to that effect has been made, but it has be- come known tsat for sometime the min lister has felt that mistake was made in the alliance of his country with the central powers.
 No details of the armistice had been received by the state department to- night beyond those contained in the press reports and therefore officials diG not feel in position to disnuss lthe eonditions destined to arise. But lit was realized that in any event re- suits of the greatest importance. as af- fecting the future progress of the war,

ances that our American allies would

first of all are also recalled and we are
asked to compare these fond hopes with
the unsatisfactory fulflllment of Amer

"If we have been dissatisfied with
our own rate of progress we may be
very sure that our American friends
have been equally dissatisfied with
theirs and that, true to their national
character. they have been even less
sparing in criticism. Since we have
had to deplore bitterly our own un-
preparedness for the struggle which
was forced upon US, we cannot refuse

nit that she has been quicker than we

Washington, April 2s.

Secretary Daniels announces that
John Mackenzie, chief boatswain's
mate in the naval reserve. by extraor-
binary heroism saved the converted
yacht Rcmlk, on patrol service in Euro
pcan waters and has been awarded the
medal of honor and Eratuity OF $i00.
During a heavy gale on last Decem-
ber II depth charge weighing sew
eral hundred pounds broke from its
fastcnings at the stern of the RemlilS
and went sweeping about the deck.
The heavy seas washing over the
quarterback made it dangerous for any
one to attempt to reach that part OF
the ship.
As officers and crew watched the
bomb, some one saw the safety pin fall
out of the charge, making it a source
OF serious danger to the vessel and
crew. Mackenzie, realizing the danger,
shouted, "WatcE me, I'll get it," and
dashed down the deck. flinslng himself
upon the charging cylinder.
Three times the daring man almost
had his arms about she bomb, but each
time the seas tore il from him and
once II almost crushed him. He stuck
to the task, however, and on the fourth
attempt got a firm grip on the cylin-
der, heavcd IL upright on one fiat end
and held IT down until lines could be
run TO him and he and the bomb safely
lashed. Soon afterward the ship was
headed up into the sea and the charge
was carried to a place of safety.
