that earlier edifice. After the battle of
Leipzig Germany rose. Europe rose
against Napoleon. One defeat doomed
all that he had created in defiance of
the history and the aspiration Of the
German, Spanish and Austrian peo-
pies.
Napoleon sowed no such crop of hate
in conquered lands as has Germany,
but he, too. destroyed the independence,
deprived states of their seacoasts. ma
tions Of their provinces. and when at
last his mighty structure was raised it
was raised only to fall with the first
great defeat. Another battle of the
nations is being fought in western
Europe today. 1t Is tenfold greater
than Leipzig, but the issues are the
same, and a German defeat will free
Europe again, as a French defeat freed
1t just a century ago. and the Ruman-
ians. the Belgians. the Poles. the Serbs
will repeat the history of the German
tribes in 1913.

Can Feel Only Two Things.

The allied world can feel only two
things-sympathy for Rumania in her
present agony. determination to rescue
Rumania in the future. What Germany
has done in Rumania and in Serbia and
in Belgium she Is seeking to do in
France and in Italy. The kaiser may
well congratulate himself on what he
has done in the east. Could he preserve
that edifice. Europe would at no distant
date be a German province.
The fate of one more little nation
should serve to remind US again of the
Issues Of that great conflict now pro-
ceeding in France and Belgium and
once more indicate eloquently and fin
ally the reasons why 1t is impossible to
discuss peace now. The fall of Ru-
mania is one more potent reason why
we must fight forward to victory.

STOCKHOLM, May 11-Ukrainian
newspapers which are reaching Stock
holm contain articles showing how the.
German methods in Ukraine are evok-
ing opposition and hatred in all quar-
tiers. 1t is difficult to discover evil
ever. Even the new government. which
is chiefly composed of the owners of
large estates. has among it's members
some prominent Russians who are
known to be strongly opposed to Ger
man policies and who may be assumed
to have accepted office for the present
for purely material reasons.
Blue Guard Disarmed.
One of the newspaper articles de-
scribes the disarming of what is
known as the Ukrainian blue guard.
had become manifest The minister of
war told the rada on the following
day that the disarming of portion of
the troops was with the governments
consent. but that the government was
compelled to protest against the brutal
methods marking the arrest Of mem
berS OF the chamber
Another article reports that the first
division of the Ukrainian army. which
had been stationed at Kovel. had been
disarmed by the Germans because of
anti-German feeling among the troops.
This development is Of particular in
terest in view of the fact that the
first division was composed largely of
former prisoners Of war. who, after
having been thoroughly dosed with
propaganda in German and Austrian
prison camps. had been released after
peace had been made with the
Ukraine. so that they might return
home and form the nucleus of a new
Ukrainian army that was to cooperate
with the troops Of the central powers.

The important thing to recognize
about the second treaty Of Bucharest is
that it is one more step in the compile
ton of the scheme of Mitteleurope. Fin
land, EsthQnia, Livonia, Courland, Lithu-
ania, Poland and Ukraine have already
passed under the control Of the central
powers. Sebastopol and Riga are in
German hands. The Baltic and the
Black seas are dominated by the kaiser.
And now, by the treaty of Rumania, the
control of the Danube is assured.
Precisely as Napoleon built his edifice
Of the Confederation of the Rhine-an
edif1ce in which score Of vassal kings
and princes consented to retain power
by paying tribute to the French en-
peror-another system of states is be-
ing erected about the German kaiser.
Controlling the Russian frontier races,
Germany dominates a vast agricultural
region. Controlling the Balkans. she
holds the way to the near east Domi-
mating Rumania and the Ukraine, she
is mistress of the north side Of the
Black sea, while her Turkish ally lays
hands upon the roads that lead from
the south side of the Black sea to the
frontiers of India
Loses Military Independence.
Rumania herself now loses her mill
tary independence, loses the frontier
gates to her own territories, surrer-
ders to Bulgaria the territories she
took hve years ago. consents to sur
render the remainder of her Black sea
littoral. her window on the sea-;
agrees to surrender the islands in the
delta of the Danube; agrees her oil
wells shall be German possession; and
in point of fact. is herself bound hand
and foot to Germany. Rumanian inde-
pendence is at an end, although there
decorated with the name Of Ferdi-
hands state.
1t is essential to recall at all times
what the German is doing. Mitteleuropa
has been for the moment forgotten by
the allies in the storm and fury of the
battle in the west. In the desperate
struggles in Picardy and Flanders we
have found substitute for the exami-
nation of the terms of the treaty of
Brest-Litovsk and the later agreement
at Bucharest, which will endure to the
peril of the world until Germany Is
beaten in the west.
After nearly four years of war Ger
many has conquered Belgium, Serbia,
Montenegro and all of western Russia
troll of Austria Hungary, Bulgaria and
Turkey. She now dominates an empire
greater than that of Napoleon, and, IL
she be permitted to organize it, an en-
pire likely to rival the Roman achieve
ment in world power

An important principle connected
with the director generals order IN
that reductions in hours since 1915
are not to h. regarded as increases in
pay, This means that employees of the
four hrothcrhoudS affected by the
AdamSon act are to receive additions
on top of the increases Developed by
that act. For instance, an engineer
who made 81 II day working 10 hours

purposes of applying The new scale.
the 81 is considered rs 81 day of
cIght hours with 81 for the two hours
overtime Consequently the pay will
be increased on the basis of 81 day,
and overtime will be paid At the same
rate Of Increase
On this principle train employees, in.
