FIGHT 1T QUIT.
oEFIEs AND IGNORES THE GER.
MAN ULTIMATUM.
HOSTILITIES AGAIN RESUMED
Plucky Country Says She Has Cast
Her Lot With the Allies and Will
Stand BY Her Trust, to Sue
cess or Extinction.

Washington, Feb 13-Roumania has
ignored Germany's twenty-four hour
ultimatum to conclude an immediate
peace"
According to messages flashed by
wireless from Jassy and relayed by
cables to the Roumanian minister here
Roumania has "defied and ignored"
the German threats "and will survive
or perish for. the allied cause"
With the Teutonic divisions on one
side, the Bolsheviki on the other, and
many miles away from friendly forces
the little nation was fighting harder
today than ever before according to
the cables.
Successful Campaign Launched.
Roumanian troops, the cable said,
have crossed the river Pruth and are
now occupying the entire Russian pro-
vince of Bessarabia which recently de-
clared it's independence.
Bolsheviki forces have been defeat
ed in several pitched battles and they
have withdrawn from the province
which is now being ruled by provin-
cial government.
Russians have been driven across the
Dneister where they were disarmed by
the Urkainians the dispatch said.
Will Keep Trust to the End
The government and the people have
decided irrevokably to cast the die,
with full knowledge of the consequence
es.
Former unintentional movements by
the allies, mistake which forced the
evacuation of seven-eighths of the
Country before the advancing Austria1A
and Geramn armies, failed TO oampe
the Roumanian faith in the struggl W
several of the Roumanian statesmen
stated here today.
Balkan Offensive Probable.
Behind the struggle, the Roumanian
military critics see the promise of an
Entente offensive in the Balkans.
But without the full assurance OF
cooperation from Salonika the Rou-
manian forces would hardly be able TO
withstand the Teutonic drive.
On the other hand, the withdrawal
of any of the forty.hve divisions which
are now concentrated against the Rou-
mania frontiers would leave an open
ing in the German lines by which
King Ferdinnard's forces might threat
en- Bulgaria on the north.

Chicago. Feb. 13.-The new food or

100000 eggs for market and bring
the price of fresh eggs down to such
low figure that they may be put in

that at least 100000 hens and pullets
will be saved from market during the
prohibitory period.

Burns-Loss On Building and
Equipment over $4,000.

Indianola, Ia, Feb. 13.-The adj
ministration building of Simpson col
lege, two story brick structure, was
destroyed by fire which started short
ly before one o'clock this morning.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
The building was erected in 1902
at cost of $4,000. The loss includ-

The alarm was turned in shortly

such Roadway that it could not be
checked
All of the alumni and college rec
ords were consumed.
While it is possible that the col
lege will be rebuilt, college authori-
ties could not say definitely until the
return of President Campbell.

Austria Ready to Break.
Washington, Feb. 1S (By Robert J.
Bendcrs) Peace between the United
States and Austria can come only
when the Austrian people break with
the German Junkers. The possibility
Of such a peace is very strong. The
United Press can state scmi-offiCially
today:
That the Prcsidcn; wants the Aus
trian people to know that this is not
a swash-buckling nation.
His address was designed to spread
peace notes throughout the world, and
at the same time t. serve notice on
the German Junkers that America is
not gulled by the vagaries of Won
Hertling.
The President is determined to wage
the war to a successful termination,
but at the same tome he is prepared
to meet the Teutonic people in nego-
tiatiOns for peace.
A separate peace with Austria can
come if she breaks with Germany.
The President has not backed down
from his original stand for peace.
But he will not deal with the German
Junkers.
Must Break Away from MiIitarism
The German people must break
away from Hindenburg. They must in
augurate electrical reforms such as
will assure this government dealing
with the people of Germany and not
with the Junkers.
The President is willing to be shown
that his views are not practicable.
The German control of Austria to-
day is between two fires, the demands
OF the people for peace and the de
mands of the Junkcrs for the continue
ton of the war.
That the people in the end will win
is the conviction of the President.
The German militarism has ridiculed
the American armies but that was be
fore 1t was seen that this country was
preparing for not only one year of eX
peditionary fighting but for war that
will last indefinitely, until her wal
aims are achieved.

declare that Switzerland's fifteen hun

They say that there are only one

thousand are on the German border,
