London, March 29-Referring to
Premier Lloyd-George's urgent ap-
peal to the United States for men,
as sent through the Earl of Read
ing. British high commissioner, the
Daily Mail says:
This nation and it's allies must be
prepared for another month, or per-
haps two months, of continuous
fighting. To meet the stupendous eff
forts and evident desperation of the
enemy, our efforts and those of our
allies must be on an equal scale"
The newspaper then briefly sums
up Americas effort since entering
the war nearly year ago, and con-
tinues:
Undoubtedly the German offens-
i've will not have been without its
use if 1t spurs America to concentrate
on the problems of raising and land

DRASTIC DEMANDS
MADE OF RUMANIA

Washington. March 29-Germany
having subjected Rumania to the sac
rifices of a conquered province, State
Department advices today say, now
has demanded that the little state
turn over all her valuable oil fields
to a German controlled corporation.
A summary of the German terms re-
ceived by the department says:
ut scarcely is necessary to draw
attention to the fact that the condi-
tons are monstrous. Rumania finds
herself deprived of the greater part
of her natural wealth for the benefit
of foreign state and private individ-
uals' fortunes are placed at the mercy
of foreign societies. No state has ever
been placed in the obligation of con-
senting to such a dismemberment of

it became known here today Mooney
was convicted in connection with a
a preparedness day parade on July
%, 1916, which caused the death of 10
persons and injured 40 others.
Washington, March 29.-The only
comment of White House officials to-

to Gov. Stephens asking him to ex-
tend executive clemency in the Moo
ney case was that they would neither

been sent. Further than they they
absolutely refused to discuss it.
The presidents action which has
few precedents in American judicial
history comes as the climax Of much

Mooney reversed and to get for him
new trial.

Stephens was absent today on trip
