Either there are nearly 100 less

December Is to Be Known in

December Is will probably be
known In Washington history as
Separation day." At any rate. the
railway administration is making
preparations for the largest outgoing
passenger traffic. beginning on that
date, in the history Of the District
Of Columbia. Nobody would venture
guess as to the number that will
leave the city during the last ten

tion was declared to be so important
as to call for special meeting of the
heads of railway departments to dis
cuss ways and means Of handling it.

The meeting will be held at the
union ticket Office, 18th and F streets,
tomorrow morning. A canvass OF all
the government departments will be
made in order to arrive at some idea
as to the number of persons who will
leave the city during the next three
weeks.
AS all departments pay on the 1st
and 18th of the month, it is presumed
that the exodus will hardly reach
flood tide until the middle of Decem-
ber; but it is expected that large
number will quit the city after they
Anxiety to return home is becoming
SO acute in some departments as to
initiate against efficiency, it was said.
One peculiar feature of the situation
is that, while the number Of persons
leaving the city is greatly in excess
of those coming in. the amount of in
coming baggage is much larger in
volume than the outgoing baggage.
The transfer companies are having all
they can do to handle the effects Of
visitors to the city. but they are ex-
periencing little trouble in taking the
property of those leaving to the

MACKENSEN'S HUNS
STRIP BUCHAREST CLEAN
Clothing and Food Situation Brings
Misery to Runania, Says
Diplomat.

PARIS, Thursday, November 2S (by
the Associated Press).-The clothing
and food situation in Rumania is cans-
ling great misery. George Danielopol,
the newly appointed Rumanian min
lister to Washington. declared today.
The German occupation Of Rumania
brought poverty everywhere.
''The minions of Won Mackensen
were as cruel as those Of Won Blssing," I"
said the minister. bucharest, like
Brussels, has been stripped clean of
everything"
There is little food in Rumania, and
clothing and shoes are absolutely ur-
obtainable, he declared, adding:
IF relief does not come soon a large
part of our population will die this
winter from hunger and cold. The peo-
pie are walking about in bare feet and
they lack nourishment, making them
easy prey to contagious diseases"
Before the war;" the minister con-
tinued, "Rumania imported virtually
all her foodstuffs except wheat and
corn. With the closing Of the Darca-
nelles the importations ceased except
for small stream Of goods which
trickled in through Russia. When Ru-
mania entered the war in 1916 the
army and civilian population began to
use UP these stocks, which were soon
depleted.
I'm Rumania at present suit Of
than 5000, a pair of shoes, s120, and a
pound of chocolate, s25. The needs of
the country are clothing material,
shoes and fats"

Had Little Luggage.

This is accounted for on the theory
that few persons who came to Wash
ington to help the government in its
time of need were incumbered with
more than absolutely necessary lug
gage. Their personal effects were
carried in one or two grips and were
not conveyed to the city in baggage
cars. They are leaving the city in the
same unostentatious manner.
This fashion Of travelling was
adopted largely because the govern
ment requested war workers to make
moderate use of railroad space. With
the suspension of hostilities rules in
this regard have been relaxed, so the
day of the excess baggage man has
returned, an official of the railway
administration explained.
1t is planned to put on a number
of extra trains. Nothing. the railroad
administration assures the public,
will be left to chance, and the COM
fort of the travelling public will be
fully regarded. But no reservations
will be made unles sthe person seek

NFW BRITAIN MACHINE CO,
 EXEMPTED BY DR. GARFIELD
Nearly 1000 Employees Will Resume Work Monday Morn ing as Plant Is Engaged in Producing War Necess- ties-Merchants Decide to Close Doors Mondays and Other Days From to 2 O'Clock.

Official notice was received today by the New Britain Machine co. that it's plant had been exempted from the order of Fuel Administrator Garfield closing all industries east of the Mississippi river for five days and on Mondays for ten weeks.
 Officers of the concern had already telegraphed to Washington inquiring whether the order applied to them. Word came from Dr. Garfield that the company would be permitted to operate as it was engaged in manu- featuring articles considered neces- sary for the prosecution of the war.
 The order affects about 1000 men, who will resume work Monday. The plant is being operated in two shifts and is enjoying it's busiest era in his tory.
 The New Britain Tool Co. also re- ceived permission today to resume operations. The concern is handling sub contracts from the New Britain Machine Go.
 Members of the Mercantile bureau of the Chamber of Commerce, and other merchants interested, attended a meeting in the rooms of the organi zation last evening, and loyalty to the government in all that tends for the betterment of conditions was manifested. The meeting was ar ranged to discuss the Monday closing which has been authorized by Fuel Administrator Garfield. Chairman Leland of the bureau, in speaking on the subject, brought out the fact that through the edict, it is possible to keep stores open Mondays, though not burning coal, but Fuel Adminis- trator T. w. Russell of Hartford has given an opinion that it would better meet the aims, should the merchants close their stores on the required days.
