LONDON, Oct. 10. - Take Jonescu. n
prominent Rumanian statesman. now an
London. told THE SUN Correspondent that
with the surrender OF Bulgaria a new
opportunity had been presented to Ru-
mania to enter the war on the allied
side.
'Rumanians have been made more ana
more unhappy by the so-called peace of
Bucharest" said Jonescu This Is not
only because the peace was degrading.
but because It was a peace with Ger
many. Now that Bulgaria Is out Of the
way Rumania will get into the war again
Just as soon as the Entente can omen
communications for the supply Of war
materials.
Everything depends on what military
policy Germany will pursue. Either she
Will retire In the west and concentrate
her efforts to holding Rumania and other
territory In the east, or she will attempt
TO hold the west. In either event Ru-
mania hopes to be in the war SOON II
the Allies strengthen their army at
salonica and the American forces are
increased on the italian front the Aus
tro-Hungarians between these two fronts
win surrender like Bulgaria, perhaps
even easier, as Austro- Hungary is more
Of q fiction than q state.
Knew Bulgaria's Fate.
1--WE in Rumania knew four months
ago that the Bulgarian army was so
demoralized that it was impossible to
continue fighting. The Austrian army
VIII be In the same predicament as soon
as 1t becomes apparent to them that VIC
tory IL impossible. cannot fix any
date for this collapse, but It will be
sooner than any of us expect.
1T would be great pity II peace
should come before the allied armies are
on German soil. The surest guarantee
against a repetition Of the present out
rage against the world would be a COM
plete breaking Of the bellicose German
spirit and the unbridled pride Of the
German people. Nothing short OF in
vasion will break that pride and spirit.
Invasion alone, will convey to the
German people a living Image of their
defeat Unfortunately this matter
doesn't rest altogether with the Allies,
for II the Germans elect to surrender
Internationally before the entry Of allied
armies on their soil we will be obliged to
treat with>>them more or less as we
treated with the Bulgarians when they
quit
Full Surrender Asked.
"In Germsny's case. however. the
guarantees will have to be far more
drastic. There must be full reparation,
with military occupation to insure
proper execution of the reparation
clauses. We should insist upon the sur
render Of the German fleet as the only
fitting punishment for her U-boat crimes.
These conditions are not prompted by
hatred. but solely because realize the
a. ~. rx,.&
German peoples as well. and also be-
cause of the latent military strength that
would remain with them after the war
Also we cannot take 1t for granted that
the four great Powers now allied against
Germany would be equally ready to take
united action against her I'm the event of
future outbreak
THAT Is why Germany must be made
harmless and materially incapable Of
further harm. We can't take their word
for anything, since force alone is the only
language they understand"
