A plausible excuse for the use of the
mailed fist in Rumania may be found by
the Germans in the difficulties likely to
be encountered in securing ratification
OF the peace treaty by Rumanian leg

members of the Rumanian parliament
left the country when a German peace
became inevitable. and it is doubtful
whether 1t will be possible to assemble

treaty.
Even II quorum can be gathered,
there are many deputies who are count

Germans an opportunity, if they choose
to take it. of dealing with the Ru-
