brought into the position Of being fore
ed to accept whatever terms of peace
the Central Powers may offer as the
first result of the reported peace treaty
between the Ukrainians and Germany
and its allies. Already an ultimatum
that the unfortunate country must i'm
mediately sue for peace has been serv-

resigned in the crisis.
Announcement that an ultimatum
was served upon Rumania by Won Mack
ensen 10 made in German newspapers
which have>Seached Basel. These news
papers said the ultimatum was issued
by General Won Mackensen on Wednes-
day and gave Rumania until yesterday
to make overtures to the peace confer
ence at Brest .Litovsk.
Cabinet Resigns
News of this ultimatum to RumaDia
was confirmed, according to dispatches
from London which added that the Brit
ish foreign office had heard the Rur
manian cabinet had resigned in a body
on Friday following the receipt and
first consideration of the ultimatum.
1t is admitted that if the reported
treaty between the Ukrainians and
Germany becomes effective Rumania
will be in a sorry plight. The food
