Rur1asa11ians Are
Indignant at the
German er112s
Bitter Pill for Little King

IHy The Associated Pressl

JASSY, Rumania, Monday March 4,
(Bv Wireless to Saloniki, Tuesday, /
March Intense indignation is felt
by the army and the people Of Rumanla
over the terms of the preliminary
peace imposed upon Rumanla by the
Central Powers. With its military
forces scattered and its hopeless stra-
tegical position, Rumania had no re-
course except to yield to her powerful
and ruthless foe.
The Rumanian example is pointed to
as a repetition of the bitter fate suf-
fered by Serbia and Belgium.
The royal family is greatly depress-
ed over the disastrous course of events.
Both the King and the Queen, through
the Associated Press. express the
earnest hope that the American people
will have sympathetic appreciation
forced peace on Rumania, and that the
warm friendship that has always eX-
listed between the two nations will in
nowise be impaired. Hope is felt by
the royal family and the people that
when world peace comes, some of the
sacrifices now being made by Rumana
will be recognized and recompensed.
Rumanias delegates at the final
peace conference in Bucharest will be
Mr.. Argetoyanu. Minister OF Justice;
General Lupercu. of the Rumanan
tary Attache at Berlin; Mr.. Papiniu.
| former Rumanian Minister to Turkey,
an ! Mr.. Burchclic. OF the Foreign Of
| fee.
The American Red Cross and all
other foreign missions in Rumania are
making plans to leave, their departure
being compelled by the peace terms.
Under the peace terms, Rumania not
only will have to give up Dobrudja, lose
control Of the Danube and endure other
great economic sacrifices, but she will
be compelled to yield to Germany large
wheat, petroleum and salt concessions.
1t is understood that Germany will
have control Of the Rumanan railways
for period of fifteen years and will
have possession of the four principal
fortified passes through the Carpathi-
ans. All German goods are to enter
Rumania free of duty while all Ruma
MAN goods will go into Germany under
the old tariff, with the exception OF
certain reductions.
Germany served her final ultimatum
on Rumania yesterday, giving the little
kingdom only twenty -four hours in
which TO make a final decision A
Crown Council was held, and it was
decided that Rumania, completely iso-
lated and without outside support
would have to bow to the force of cir
substances and take course from
which there appeared to be no escape.
Former Premier Bratiano, who at
tended the meeting, declared that nc
nation could accept terms so humiliat-
ing. King Ferdinand asked him if he
would assume his old position at the
head of the Cabinet and accept the
responsibility for refusing Germany's
terms. Bratano replied he could no.
undertake individually to bear such 3
burden.

"The military considerations are
also of the very highest Importance.

India Seriously
Menaced by Teutons

at appears not to be really under
stood in America that India is seri-
ously menaced. Look at the map:
There are Odessa and Constanza,
which are Immediately to become
German bases; Germany is steadily
moving upon Petrograd and threat
ems 10 establish her line from Petro-
grad to Odessa, thence to Constanza.
Across the Black Sea from Odessa
and Constanza is Batoum, ceded by
Russia to Turkey. Russia also has
given up Kars and Karabagh, thus
providing Germany with sweep of
territory from her own borders
across Russia to Persia. Sentiment in
Persia is pro-Turkish; thus Germany
has access 10 the very gates of India,
via Afghanistan anG Turkestan. With
safe access to the Trans-Caspian re-
gions. Germany Is empowered to
compel the world to contemplate the
possibility of the overthrow of the
British Empire in India. Remember,
il was not so very many months ago
that a man would have been called
fool had he predicted the ignomin-
ious defeat of Russia; the Indian
Empire is Asiatic, and in Asia any
thing is possible.
1t was stated that the differences o.
United States and the Allies affect pro
fcundly and bring Immediately ant
prominently to the front possibilit.
which is besng studied with the great
est concern by both this eovernmen
and by the llies-differences in thei
several war aims. From the Allie,
viewpoint, invasion Of Siberia by Jap
anese armies is considered not onl.
desirable, but promising certain an
possibly indispensable advantages.
Against the Allied viewpoint is tn
American, that invasion Of Russi
would interfere with the determinatio
by the Russians themselves of thci
own destiny, q right which America be
lieyes. the Russian people ought to b
permitted TO enjoy, and Which, conse
euently, should be respected by tn
Allies.
II is understood that in the reply O
the United States TO Japan q loophol
was left against a possibility of
change Of views here. II is understoo
that the reply declared that this 20,
eminent believed it would be unw!s
for Japan to take her contemplated ae
ton "at this time" and this phrase un
questionably will attach consdcrabl
Importance TO itself.

WASHINGTON, March S.-A signti
cant development in the Russian ques
ton was disclosed in an Entente quar-
ter to-day, where it was stated that the
advisability of Japanese intervention
IN Siberia has been taken up by the
Inter-Allied Supreme War Council at
Versailles 1t was further made known
that the Entente powers have opened
discussions upon the subject with the
Russian ambassadors appointed by the
late Provisional Government, and who
are still recognized as the legal repre-
sentatives of Russia.
While the discussions are proceed
ing at Versailles among the military
representatives. of the powers at war
against the Central Empires and be-
tween the Allied Foreign Offices and
the Russian ambassadors, the govern
ment at Toxic is giving the profound
est consideration to the views of the
United States, which take issue with
The views of the Allies and Japan.
Comments made by Allied diplomats
to-day revealed that the Entente
powers regard the question of Japanese
occupation of Siberia as the paramount
question before the Allies to-day. The
views of President Wilson, communl-
Gated to Toxic, are said to have come
as distinct surprise to the Allies, one
spokesman of whom outlined some of
the farreaching possibilities involved.

Two Considerations
For the Allies

There are two considerations Of the
utmost moment" he said, (which the
Allied governments thoroughly under
stand and have based their decisions
upon. They are:
"First, that Germany has deter
mined upon the partitioning of Rus
sia and that her military dispos-
tions there, including the Russian
Withdrawals before the Turks in the
Caucasus, give Germany her highway
to India. Unless she is crushed a
more dangerous situation will be
created. threatening the peace of the
world than existed prior to August,
1914, and that will be an issue for
the next thirty or fifty years, name
ly. the partitioning of Russia.
Second, that if Japan is antago-
nized now she may be driven to seek
an alliance with Germany, and the
Central Powers and Japan could then
divide Russia and Asia among them.

The boy was the only witness o,

and shot his father through the heart,

| President Against Intervention 10 IN
J! Russia; Other War Governments
Favor 1t.
In sources close to the admlnlstra-
4 ton the opinion prevails that note
from President Wilson has gone for
ward to Japan. 1t is believed to coz
tain vigorous protest against jap
!! an r intervention in Siberia.
The position of the United States
against Japanese Intervention is It's
own. It is Enthusiastically indicated here
that London, Paris and Rome have
approved Japan's action.
There were further positive indica-
tons that Japan will intervene. Her
decision may change when the Presl-
dents note reaches Toxic. A change
is not looked for.
The developments If last night are
by far the most vital since the world
war began.
The decision which President VII
son is understood to have reached
will in effect call upon Japan to lay
her cards on the table.
The position of the allies in ap-
proving intervention will save Japan
from declaring herself for or against
the entente. The attitude taken by
the United States may force her to
declare, by action if not by words,
whether she has aims of permanent
conquest on the Asiatic mainland.
Intervention might be justified If
human life were at stake. 1t is not
justified for the defense of property,
no matter how valuable.

How Doctors Treat
Colds And Grippe

Ask any physician or druggist and
he will tell you that the best and only
effective remedy for bad cold sore
throat, influenza or la grippe is what
he calls "a brisk calomel purge,
which means a big dose of calomel at
bed time. But as the old style Gallo
mel has some very unpleasant and
dangerous qualities physicians and
druggists are now recommending the
improved nausealess calomel, called
"Calotabs" which is purified and re-
fined from the sickening and danger
GUS effects and whose medicina, vir
tues are vastly improved.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with swallow of water,-that's
all. No salts, no sausea nor the
slightest interference with your diet
pleasures or work. Next morning
your cold has vanished and your en-
tire system is purified and refreshed
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages, price thirty-five
cents. Your druggist guarantees Cal
otabs by refunding the price if you
are not delighted.-Adv.

MunitiOn
Workers
Raising
Vegetables
Large Factory in MidIands District,
England, Almost SeIf-Supporting
Through War Gardens and
Pig and Poultry Farms

English munitions workers are
making every minute count in their
efforts to win the war. After COM
plotting their duty in the factories,
they work in war gardens or drill IN
the Volunteer Force, where they OBJ
tain military training.
One of the greatest factories in the
Midlands has utilized practically all
the land surrounding its building for
war gardens, which have proved so
successful that hey practically sup
port the thousands of working men
and women employed there. Pig and
poultry raising have been added 10
the war garden work, and eventually
it is believed that the entire food
supply for the neighborhood can be
obtained locally The tract put into
market gardens cover about 100
acres
Not only is the economic advantage
of the plan evident, but the esthetic
value is not by any means unimpor-
tant, for if the war gardens had not
been established the ground would
have been devoted only to waste and
rubbish heaps. The United States
Department of Labor has recently
made Investigations which show that
in some centers of war industries it
is difficult to obtain everything that
might be desired in the way of fresh
vegetables, and in some places the
English experiment may point way
to improved conditions.
