RUMANIA NEEDED SUPPLIES.
That is Reason For Invasion of Bes-
Sarabia.

London, Jan. 3O.-The reasons
which led to the invasion of Bessara-
ba by Rumanian troops, one of the
causes of the breaking off of re-
lations between Rumania and Russia,
are explained by the correspondent Of
the Times with the Rumanian army in
4 dispatch filed January %. He says
the Bessarabian officials made re-
peated appeals to the Rumanians to
restore order and save private pro-
perty from looters, conditions having
been greatly disturbed by the Boil
sheVik regime. Another and more
powerful consideration was that Bes-
sarabia contained all manners of
stores and supplies necessary to Ru-
mania which the Bolsheviki threat
ened to destroy.
To save these stores and maintain
communication with Odessa and Kiev
was a matter of life or death involV-
ing the question of Rumania's alb
soIute isolation from her allies in
western Europe. In fighting between
Russians and Rumanians in Ga1atz.
the correspondent says that but for
Valor of the Rumanians the town
would have been reduced to a mass
Of ruins. The Russians attacked the
town with great energy on January
81. The Rumanians resisted stub
bornIy, but the situation became
critical Eventually the Rumanians
gained victory by a counter attack
with bayonets and hand grenades aid
ed by the fire of two small gunbOats at
the south of the Sereth river.
An Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from Petrograd says the Russian COM
missioners have ordered the removal
of M. KoseoVsky, chairman of the
revolutionary inquiry committee and
some of his colleagues on the charge
Of bribery. They have appointed new
members and ordered an investigation.
The affair has caused a great sensa-
ton in Petrograd.
