STATE, SAYS COURT
Balkan Country Status Officially De,
fined by Federal Tribunal.

New York. Jan. 1.-THE kingdom
of Rumania retains its status as a
sovereign state despite the events
of the war and as such is immune
from suits in the courts of the
United Safes.
This was the decision made today
by the circuit court of appeals in
complicated litigation growing out
of Rumania's purchase of 100000
pairs of shoes in this country for
the Rumanian army. Satisfactory
credits, it was alleged, had not been
established by the Balkan estate.
ut seems manifest to u.s." said
the court, that the kingdom of
Rumania in contracting for shoes
and other equipment for its armies
was not engaged in business, but
was exercising the highest sover-
eign functions OF protecting itself
against its enemies"

LANDLADY
IECURS WRATH
OF FOOD BOSS
E! ence Wilson Says Ha'

Meatless Days.

Moral suasion-which Is the only
Kind of suasion provided-will be ex-
erted TO the fullest extent to bring
about rigid observance of meatless
and whestless days. and Clarence r.
Wilson, Food Administrator OF the
District Of Columbia, has already be-
gun to 'suade.
Whether it was son'e former boaro

whether 1t was an honest-to-goodness
patriot who loved democracy better
than he did hash, is not for the public

The following letter has been sent
out by the administration to those
boarding house keepers who have
been reported:
IT am informed that you are not
observing any OF the regulations of
the Food Administration in regard TO
meatless and wheatless days; that
you are serving meat at all meals
each day and wheat bread at ali
times.
Il do not know whether your failure
to given patriotic support to the
cause of food conservation is due to
your own lack of interest or whether
you fear the disapproval of the
patrons Of your boarding house. l
cannot believe that any of your board
ers would refuse to stand by you in
any steps you may take to do your
part in the support Of the country S
needs at this time. ! DISK you; there
fore, to fall in line at once with those
who are observing meatless Tuesdays
and wheatless Wednesdays, and that
you save wheat and meat at all times
throughout the week.
IT shall be glad to have you read
this notice to your patrons, or call II
to their attention in some way. II
any of them are unpatriotic-and they
are unpatriOtic IL they oppose food
conservation at this time-I shall be
glad to have their names"

Propaganda Setting Forth
Demands for Vote to Be
Spread by Committee.

The executive committee of the
joint committee on national repre-
sentation for thes District. at a
meeting yesterday afternoon in the
Star Building. unanimously adopted
a report calling for action by cam
paign committees to spread District
suffrage propaganda. Theodore w.
Noyes. chairman OF the committee,
submitted the report, which was
adopted unanimously. Action will
be taken at the next meeting of the
joint committee.
FundamentaI Facts.
Mr.. Noyes stated some of the
facts to be brought before the pub
lie.
He stated that the following are
fundamental:
The 100000 Americans of the
District constitute the only COM
munity In the whole expanse of the
continental United states-popu-
Ious. intelligent. public spirited, of
adequate resources, which Is denied
representation In the national gov
ernment.
"As a suitor In the courts of the
United States. the District resident
has, the Supreme Court says, a low
er standing than an alien.
Tn relation to national laws, the
sole function of the District resi-
dents is to obey. They take no
part in making the laws which they
must obey.
In relation 10 national taxes. their
sole function IL to pay. They have
nothing to say, like other taxpayers.
concerning the amount and the kind
of taxes they shall pay and how the
tax money shall be spent.
I'm relation TO national war, their
sole function is to fight in obedience
to command. They have no voice,
like other Americans, in the councils
which determine war or peace. They
have no representation In the govern
ment which requires them to fight, to
bleed and perhaps to die.
National representation will clothe
the washingtonian with a vital Amer
lean privilege to which he is un-
deniably in equity entitled: will
cleanse him of the stigma and stain
OF un-Americanism, and, curing his
with a certain power.
1T will relieve the nation of the
shame Of un-Americanism at its
heart and of impotency to cure this
evil.
"It will inflict no injury or hardship
upon either nation or Capital to con-
fer these benefits"
