Free Rurnanians
Protest Against
Bucharest Treaty
They Say the Nation Was
Robbed of independence
by Teuton Terms
Especial Dispatch to The Tribune)

Especial Dispatch to The Tribume)
WASHINGTON, May 3O.-A protest
of several Rumanian organizations
against the treaty of Bucharest was
received from Paris to-day through
official French channels. The dispatch
follows:
"a protest against the treaty Of
Bucharest, signed by the committee of
the Paris Rumanian colony, the COM
mittee of Rumanians from Transyl-
vania and Bukowina and by the dele
gates of the Committee of Oppressed
Nationalities, says:
"'The Rumanian people have been
crossed from the list of free nations.
The peace imposed upon Rumania by
the Central Powers is the very mega
tion of the political and economic in
dependence of our country. 1t is an
act of hatred and vengeance done
through violence and with utter dis
regard of the most elementary princi-
Piles of justice.
Might Succeeds Over Right
""The Rumanian people cannot ac-
cept it. Her enemies imposed upon her
what they call peace based on Ger
man friendship. In fact, it is the most
cruel and insulting subjection; mill
tary subjec through the loss of the
Carpathian range; political sublec-
tion through German interference in
all the great state administrations;
commercial subiection through the
theft of Dobrudja, the only maritime
province of Rumania, and through the
domination established by the Germans
over the Danubian navigation; indus
trial subjection through the monopoly
of the most important mineral wealth
of the country-the oils; financial sub
lection through the control established
by the Germans over the chief prod
uct of the country, cereals.
"'Such is the political and economi-
cal slavery to which the Germans in
tend to subject Rumania. Might sue
ceeded over right. Germany has
trampled under foot the sacred prn-
ciples of liberty and justice for which
ali nations, united, fight.
Free Rumanians Protest
"'The free Rumanians who live in
the land of noble France raise their
voices in protest against the monstrous
crime The Bucharest act is not
peace treaty; it is an evident contra
diction of the idea of peace as the civ
ilized world understands it. 1ie
clauses of this treaty excluded very
plainly the free consent of Rumania.
1t is one more act of hard violence i'm
posed by pitiless enemy.
"'The Rumanian people, left without
arms before the German bayonets, no
more enjoying any freedom in their ac-
tions and opinions, cannot express a
protest against this peace of spoliation
and subjection. But they turn to their
great allies in full confidence and hope.
The interests of the Rumanian nation
arc solidly with those of the great
Western democracies. Rumania, at tho
door of the Balkan peninsula, is the
only barrier against German invasion
toward the south and toward Asia. In
the name of the Rumanian people we
declare that to-day, as yesterday, we are
the allies of the Entente Powers, and
we proclaim that the treaty of Bucha-
rest, with all classes and added conven-
tions, is null and void"

Association
1t is suggested that money realized
from the sale of waste materials be
surned over 10 the Red Cross and the
Y. Nj. C. A. War Work Fund. Not
alone will such practice inculcate
habits of thrift, which will be valuable
after the war, but during the war it
will tighten the drain upon transporta--
tion facilities and lower the prices of
raw materials, says the statement. Lo-
cal committees to carry out the plan
will be formed throughout the United
States similar to the committees now
operating in Los Angeles. Kansas City
and other cities.
Among the waste articles that may
be salvaged are the following: Tin
and lead foil, brass and copper and
aluminium waste. old jewelry and old
automobile and bicycle tires, paper
and rags, old batteries and bottles.

MOSCOW, Sunday, May 26.--The
peace negotiations between Russia and

present restrictions should be in the
slightest degree relaxed it would re-
suit in serious want for the people of

OF this. 30,oo0,oOo bushels must be
exported before new wheat is avail

the absolutely necessary shipments to
our army and the Allies. That leaves
about 26,000,000 bushels for domestic

ister Tchitcherin has sent another pro-
test to China, charging the Chinese
government with officially protecting
General Semenoff, the anti -Bolshevik
leader in Siberia, in his activities
against the Soviet power.
The note requests that China either
prevent General Semenoff from using
Aanchuria as base for his operations
OF to permit Soviet troops to cross into
Chinese territory and quell General
Semenoff, if China considers herself
90 weak to do so.
Russia, the Foreign Minister'S COM

for all to end the uncomfortable situa-

Francis Makes Public Sec

(By The Associated Press)

vOLOGDA, Russia, Saturday, May
e5.-Ambassador Francis has made
public a statement from Secretary
Lansing denying that American con-
sails aided General Semenoff. anti
polshevik leader in Siberia, or others
who are seeking to bring about a
counter revolution in Siberia.
The statement says the American
government has received appeals from
several groups in Siberia, but has ig-
nored them. Specifically, the United
States refused a request by General
Semenoff for assistance from Ameri-
can engineers and instructed the en-
gineers not to aid the general or to
assist in any civil war movement.
The statement declares the friendly
attitude of the United States toward
Russia has not changed and has not
been affected by the withdrawal of
diplomatic courtesies. (This apparent

the ambassador Mr.. Lansing says
further:
"The department desires you to re-
feet the friendly purposes of the
United States toward Russia, which
will remain unaltered so long as Russia
does not willingly accept autocratic
domination by the Central Powers"
Mr.. Lansing's communication was in
reply to the charge of the Russian
Foreign Office that the American Con-
sui at Vladivostok had assisted anti
Bolshevik movements in Siberia. Mr..
Francis made denial Of the charge
last month, and announcement was
made at Washington on May 9 that
Mr.. Lansing had instructed the am
bassador to inform the Bolshevik gov
eminent there was no basis for the
charge.
The demands presented bv the
Bolshevik Foreign Office to Mr.. Francis
included removal of John Caldwell,
