RUNIANIA SEES GREAT HOPES
IN COMING PEACE CONGRESS

Rumania, right now the unhappiest
nation in Europe, is making plans for
revenge on the Huns at the peace
conference.
Surrounded by enemies and with
only a few square miles of it's terri
tory left. its people starving, its
armies decimated. Rumania was
forced by the Germans to make peace
last winter. II was u shameful peace.
and the Rumanian people were hu-
inflated.
But now their day OF justice is
approaching" said DR.. Nicholas
Lupu. a member OF the Rumanian
Parliament. who fed from his coun-
try when the Germans occupied it, In
an interview.

mania will demand her own, and she
has every confidence that her great
allies will see that she gets II. BY
self-determination of the Rumanian
people who inhabit the eastern prov
inces of Hungary we will gain what

inhabited by Rumanians who have
been oppressed by Austria Hungary.

supply young girl with I formula
for taking dope as l would with a
formula for writing sentimental slush
to men. l think that the morphine
habit is no more pernicious and de-
moralizing than the love letter writ
Ing habit. and that the pen in a girl s
hand can be every whit as dangerous
to her as the hypodernic needle.
The only proper way for q girl to
write love letter is for her not to
write it at all, or, If she is so over
lowing with sentimentality that she
has TO get 1t out of her system, and
on paper. Is to burn the letter us soon
as she has written It. and never,
never commit it 20 the mails.

under. Heaven equal to the idiocy OF
putting 1t down in black and white,
and n girls could only realize how
inGelicate, how actually vulgar their
words of endearment look when writ
ten out, they would no more think
of penning the twenty-sheet effusions
they dash of to any Tom. Dick or
Harry they happen TO know than they
would dream Of putting their hands
In the fire.
Tho absolute recklessness with
which girls write love letters Is ono
of tn. most amazing vageries OF the
feminine temperament, and the queer

on paper they don't mean and that

In Which | See a Familiar

SIXTY-FOURTH
CHAPTER.

The cast OF a war drama-an excit-
ing spy play-passed before me thia
afternoon. All ! need now is a plaus-
ible plot. The one which the cast sug-
gests is weirdly improbable. And yet
nothing ought to seem extraordinary
to me since my U-boat experience.
I was waiting for Chrys on the mez-
canine floor OF The Cosmopolitan"
We had tickets to see Sarah Bern
hardt in her little war play. And !
was thinking about what a lot OF
lonely females there are in our far,
town nowadays. Once upon a time
Chrys and I would have been taken
to the theater in the evening by two
devoted cavaliers. But now-we had
to buy our own tickets-and 60 to

was idly watching the crowd in the
lobby below when a tall and eNcep-
tionally distinguished gentleman
walked up to the clerks desk.
1t was Bremen. My abductor. The
J-boat's first officer! Now he was a
we'll dressed traveller, wearing eye
glasses. but I couldn't be mistaken
even his gait was photographed on
my memory. In the regular way. he
registered and disappeared in the ele-
vator with the usual boy carrying his
bag.
l had imagined the fate of the L.
boat crew many times. | had decided
that they would land in their col
lapslble boat when they discovered
that their base had been wrecked. And
had wondered whether they would
destroy or only sink their craft. But
I had never dreamed that / would
look upon one OF these men again.
Bremen was a spy. l was sure. What
was he after in our town?

and Bukowina under the Austrians.
These Rumanian people, speaking
a Latin language like the French and
Italian. and claiming descent from
the early Roman empire. have been
cruelty persecItsd by their foreign
oppressors. Four million of them in
Hungary were denied their own
schools and the use of their own Ian
guage. They had only four repre-
sentatives to 100000 people, while
the Hungarians have 400 represen-
tatives for 100000 people.

Dobrudja was won from Bulgaria
in the Balkan war of 1918. Still
we must win the provinces under
Austrian and Magyar domination
before We can become a unified

Our government is a stable one,
and the King and Queen are be-
lovd by their people. Once the

pressed people of Austria and Hun

strangely enough, however. half the
time the girl who writes these in
eliminating documents is not really
in love with the man to whom she
addresses them. She is merely graft
flying her feminine instinct for doing
something that she thinks is roman
tic and poetic.
As a matter Of fact, when a girl
dips her pen in ink she goes of on
a sentimental jag. She loses her
head. and no more knows the import
Of what she does than the drunkard
who weeps maudlin tears on the
breast OF the nearest stranger. and
swears eternal devotion to him.
No girl can be stupid enough not to
know that there are multitudes OF
men dishonorable enough to show
their letters as a tangible proof Of
what heart smashers they are. Most
girls have had men offer to show
them love letters from other girls.
and It is strange that they do not
realize that their own letters are
( likely TO share the same fate. and
to consider how they would writhe at
the thought OF catty feminine eyes
scanning their tender efTusions, and
sneering masculine lips wTithing in

would be enough TO stay any femi-

that even when men are not cads
enough TO deliberately show letters
they are careless about them, should
give every girl pen paralysis, for

regard love letters as mere scraps OF
paper. They leave them about in the
drawers of their bureaus and desks
and in old coat pockets for any pry-
ing person to read.

The biggest sale of live stock of all
kinds to take place in the valley of late
years will be that of Saturday, June 1,
according to S. G. Hunter, who was in
town from Lake creek Saturday. Mr..
Hunter states that he is taking many
listings of stock of various kinds to be
sold at that time, including heavy work
teams, brood mares and other desir-
able stock, besides milk cows, stock
cattle, etc. The sale has been widely
advertised and 1t is expected that many
buyers will be here from various
points. Some growers from the upper
Platte river country have agreed to
bring in live stock for disposal at this
time, and there will likely be other late
