trian banners under duress have suf-
fered maltreatment at the hands Of

Of contempt, distrust and brutality
The captain pointed to the Aus
trian casualty lists in substantiating
his statements that the women of the
Trentino were modified by Austria
and forced to work in trenches.
"a large number of Austrian sub

Appeal to Wilson to Help to Prevent
Threatened Loss of Rights.
The Jews of Rumania have cabled
a request to the Provisional Zionist
Committee to petition President
Wilson to bring his influence to bear
against the enactment by the Parlia
,ment which will be oonvoked in
June of contemplated laws which
they say will result in depriving
them of the few remaining rights
still left to them in that country.
The proposed laws provide that
naturalization shall be denied to any
person both of whose parents have
not been born in Rumania. The
Jews of Rumania point out that
there were no vital statistics gath
cred in that country before 1866,
and that even those that cover the
period from that year to 1880 are
still very defective. A number of
lists were destroyed during the Ger
man invasion a year ago. All of
these facts will conspire to prevent
at least two-thirds of the Jews of
Rumania from receiving naturaliza-
ton papers.
