Germans Strip Run,ania
OF Food and Livestock

PARIS. July 6.Dr. Breckenridge
Baine, of Washington, has arrived at
Berne from Bucharest. where, for sew
eral years, he had charge of Ru-
manian hospital. He declares that Ger
many is taking all food supplies from
that country for home consumption
For example. he adds. the Germans
have left only one cow on every tenth
farm. Future crops already have been
bought up.
The petroleum wells, which were
partly destroyed by the British, says
DR.. Baine, have been repaired and are
now in full operation. Everything Is
going to Germany, nothing to her al
lies.
These statements are confirmed by
distinguished Rumanian representa-
tivcs who have arrived at Lucerne from
Bucharest. Emile Petresco, Mayor of
Bucharest, said that he was personally
ruined. but had the greatest confidence
in the victory of the Allies.
Take Jonescu, a former Cabinet min
lister, said that no sensible man would
accept the German peace forced upon
Rumania, as the Rumanians have the
greatest confidence in President Will
son and the greatness of the American
effort.
NJ. Jonescu, after he visits Paris and
London, will proceed to Washington,
where he will lay before the President
the serious Rumanian situation.

chapter in the fight to dislodee Frank

Republican National Committee was
added tonight by a letter signed by
Representatives Gray, of New Jersey,
and Meeker, of Missouri, and forwarded
to Chairman Woods. The letter, writ

original GrayMeeker communication
urging his resignation. resents the
charge that the protesting legislators
were prompted by the Liquor inter-

The Representatives wrote as fol-
lows:
"You insinuate in your reply to our
letter that our request for your resig-
nation as chairman of the National
Republican Congressional Committee
was not prompted by our knowledge of
your opposition to the war policies of
the government and our conviction
that you are therefore misrepresent-
ative of militant Americanism and Re-
publicanism, but was due rather to our

Officers of the Marine Corps said yes

1908 and had seen service in all quar-
ters of the world.
His exploit in going scatheless
through street of a Nicaragua city
which was swept with machine gun fire
is legend of the corps. In recent
letter to friend here he said:
Il believe it safe to say that life in
the front area is rather intense, inter
esting and exacting. 1t is an expert

world, and | am sure that most of the
men feel the same.

purest type Of Americans, in search of

finding in large lots. An old man of

World independence
Day Is Suggested

PARIS, July (By Havas Agency).-
The suggestion that the Allied nations
jointly fix a date to commemorate
throughout the world independence
from autocracy is made in a letter to
the "Matin" by DR.. Morton Prince, of
Boston.
September 6, the first day of the
Battle Of the Marine, when Germany's
ambitions of word domination we're
crushed by the Franco-British armies,
appears to the writer to be particularly
appropriate.
The "Matin" says that the idea of a
common holiday among the Allied ma
tlons is much in favor, and says that
July ID, Bastile Day, has been selected
by Brazil, Uruguay, San Salvador and
Argentina as the day for independence
celebrations

Of Supplies Helped
In Belleau Fight
Americans Went 100 Miles
to Reach Battle and
Saved the Day
BY Caspar Whitney
Especial Cable to The 7ribuns)


Copyright, 1918. by Tho Tribune Asaociation)
PARIS, July 6.--That in America our
people shall further and more fully ap-
prehend the rapidly developing compe-
tency of their army in France, another
chapter concerning the efficient work
Of the service of supplies should sup
plement the earlier one describing the
fine showing Of our soldiers in the
battle around Chateau Thierry, the par
ticulars of which | have been privi
legged to acquire but not to report in
detail
can say, however, that the Ameri-
can division which made such a per-
sistently gallant and successful attack
in capturing Belleau Wood had not
been expected to be wanted in that di-
rection. They were camped one hun
dred miles distant, where another cam
paign was planning, and where all sup
plies of munitions and food had been
sent and installed.
On few hours notice they were
called to Chateau Therry, and in an
equally short period they had respond
ed, not only by reaching the menaced
ground in season to help thwart the
Boche plan to drive west through this
important point, but by bringing up
ample provisions of munitions and ra-
tions, Notwithstanding the difficulties
of transportation, which were rendered
doubly embarrassing by the big move
ment on the road
This important, cheering, significant
addition to that battle is cabled not
only so that some folks during this
anxious time may know that their
hghtlng fathers, SONS and brothers are
making good, but also to give assurance
that the organization for active sup
port at the rear, so to speak, is also
making good.
AS the actions around Chateau
Ihlerry, in Belleau Wood, at Vaux and
IN the Forest de la Roche were the
first IN which this organization was
given real test, it is worth thus re-
cording that in the line and in the ser
vice behind the line. without which the
effectiveness of the troops is impossi-
Bile, the American effort is entitled to
confidence and praise
There is every reason for pride in
the results thus far achieved by our
men and for faith in the future of

Prohteering in Uniforms

billion dollar army appropriation bill
