doors to investigate the case and if two thirds Of the members present and voting shall deem trial necessary, they shall suspend the accused bishop until the next session of the general conference. The charges shall then be transmitted to one of the bishops and it shall be his duty to appoint committee of trial.
 Another resolution was introduced as serting that the epscopacy can be made more efficient without any change in the discipline.

of the cabinet ministers agreed with him, some reluctantly, others almost too en- Enthusiastically. The crown prince listened impatiensly Finally he arose and, ad- dressing the King. said
 PROVE WORDS
 'I realize, Sire, that you speak for the government, the army and a consider able body of our citizens, but I speak for the Queen and every loyal woman in Rumania when I say that to accept such a peace would be humiliating and dishonorable and would cast shadow on the hitherto unsuIlied page of Ru- mania's history"
 The populace of Jassy showed great animosity against the Rumanian Gen. eral Averescu. who became premier of Rumania a short time before Count Czernin made his visit to Jassy, and who was generally responsible for the course taken by the peace negotia- tions.
 T realize, sire that you speak for the that General Averescu was a former school chum of Field Marshal Won Mackensen and a great admirer and student of German military methods.
 It was generally believed that Count Czernins visit was suggested to the enemy by General Averescu, who few days before had visited Field Marshal Won Mackenson without the approval of King Ferdinand or the Rumanian cabinet. Averescu immediately after ward became the acknowledged IAadl CT of the peace at any price" party.
 BITTER EXPERIENCE
 The initiating of the Rumanian treaty, announced from Berlin today, will be bitter experience for Queen Marie who persisted for months in hoping against hope that it would be possible to avert the conclusion of dishonorable peace. She has never wavered or faltered in her devotion to the cause of the entente allies and her hostility to the central powers.
 The Queen received the Associated Press correspondent on the evening before the departure from Jassy of the mission. She expressed as she had done many times before her warm sympathy and admiration for the American people. her thankfulness for what the United States had done for Rumania. particularly the work of the Red Cross. and her hope for a fuller and better friendship at the end of the war
 The Queen could not refrain from expressing her firm belief that the only possible end would be victory for the entente and the reconstruction Of Rumania. Her majesty had ex- pressed a desire that the correspond ent take with him a formal statement in her own handwriting of her senti- ments toward the American people At the last moment, however, 1t was ex- plained the Queen had been so deep ly affected by her farewells to all the entente allied military and Red Cross missions that she had been unable to write the message.

This transaction has been spoken of as unprecedented. so short is the memory of some of those who have been active in business life for the past quarter of a century. About 20 years ago the iron and steel manufacturers found a great shortage in scrap iron. Dilligent efforts wer made to collect it. Considerable quantities of it were accumulated in the district Of which Minneapolis is center. Cuba was called upon to furnish scrap iron, and many were the tons which were shipped from that island to the United States. The managers of the New York Central and of the Big Four Railroad companies found it expedient to relay portion of their roadbeds with high grade steel rails. TT le old rails found a speedy market, and so high was the price for scrap iron that these railroad com panies were abel to market their scrap for sum which was considerably in ex- cess of the cost of the new 10o-pound steel rails

With the American Army in France, Friday, May 3.-German aviators are now resorting to unsportsmanlike tricks in an endeavor to outwit Amer ican flyers. The trickiness of the Ger man soldier afoot is emulated by ene- my airmen who are marking their ma chimes to make them look as much like allied markings as possible.
 GERMAN CAMOUFLAGE
 The Germans have taken to round ing off the corners of the cross on the wings of their planes to make them look like allies badges. The game of the German airman is to play around. get in shot if he can, and then run. American flyers, for fear of attacking a probable friend, must get up close to an enemy ma chine, usually after considerable ma neuvering, before opening a fight
 Here is what happens to an air drome to which Americans are at tached when an alarm comes in. Tho telephone bell rings at the hangar and the location of the enemy is re- ported. A number of young Ameri- cans take the air quickly, and in less than five minutes from the time the bell rings the airplanes look like mos quitoes in the sky. In three quarters
