RUMANIA LOSES
100000 IN WAR
Eleven Per Cent of Population
Is Wiped Out (
(7y Newspaper Enterprise Ass.n.)

London, Eng, Aug. 20.-Latest fig.
ures show that Rumania has lost $780,
600 people during the war and the
German peace that has followed it.
This is II per cent Of her before. the
war population. =
And now Germany, ignoring her
peace treaty, has demanded from Ru-
mania 100000 tons of grain. The pen
atty threatened is to starve everybody
in the occupied districts, if the nation
doesn't comply. S.
The Germans are also backing up
the Bulgarian demand for 10000
more tons of grain. Total demanded,
246,0O0 tons.
With famine already staring her in
the face, Rumania now faces the prop
"s'tion Of starving if she does. and
being starved il she doesn't accede to
IeutOns' demands. K.
The motive behind the German ord
ers is said to be to force out the king
and queen Of Rumania and all politi-
clans faithful to the allied cause.

BY MILTON BRONNER.
n. +. A. Staff CORRESPONDENT,

Washington, Aug. 2O.-Before fall
President Wilson will. get into the
lgnt TO control the next congress and
will ask the country to give him a
democratic majority in sympathy not
only with his plan for conducting the
war, but also with the great recon-
struction schemes he has in mind 'af
ter peace comes.
For some time now democrats all
over the country have been worried
about the Wilsonian attitude. They
saw him ask Henry Ford, republican,
to run for the senate in Michigan, and
they noted that he gave his tacit, sup
port to such republicans as Borah of
Idaho, Nelson of Minnesota and Ken
yon of Iowa. Instead of giving his O.
X. to any democrats SO far--save W.
J. Harris, senatorial candidate in
Ge0rgia--he has contented himself
with opposing Congressman ,Slayden
of Texas, who at once got out of the
race for denomination, and with ask
ing the voters to defeat Vardaman of
Mississippi and Hardwick of Georgia.
l understand that the result of this
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1918-08-20

prediction: Some time before late fall
the president will in letter for pub
LEGATION answer one of his anxious, in
Quiring democratic friends. He will
make clear the following things:
First-He thinks the republican
party is still the party of the special
interests and of reaction, as indicated
by the leadership and dominance Of
such people as Boies Penrose of
Pennsylvania.
Second--He decidedly thinks the
democratic party is the party of the
plain people, the party whose leader
ship consists of forward looking men.
Third-That quite as important as
winning the war decisively is the ne
cessity OF having in mind a definite
plan of national reconstruction when
the peace comes. 1t is very prob
able. that the president will 60 into
some considerable exposition OF just
what reconstructive measures he has
in mind. Part of these have already
been outlined in the democratic static
platform of Indiana. The question
of railroad control, water power de-
velopment, arid lands, the future OF
the returning soldiers, all these may
be touched upon.
President Wilson expects to make
some speeches this fall in support Of
the Fourth Liberty Loan. He will
probably give the country in full his
vision Of what needs to be done after
the war is over.
And it is not improbable that after
this Liberty Loan tour he may be
induced to make one OF two speeches
in which he will set forth in straight
forward manner why he would like to
have his own party in control in con-
gress during the crucial nd critical
remaining years Of his term in office.

Rulings by General crowder.

Raleigh.-Two rulings were made
by Provost Marshal General Crowder
that will afford great deal of relief
to local boards. In the first one, Gen
eral Crowder urges deferred classifi-
cation for county agricultural agents
and in the second he -epeats a former
ruling that bankers are not entitled to
deferred classification on Industrial
grounds, wherein he virtually abol-
ishes these cases Of special hardship
The county agents, according to the
telegram transmitted to the boards
through the Adjutant Generals de-
partment are highly necessary to the
development of the special emergency
food regulations. For this reason and
others which he cites in his telegram,
General Crowder asks that the county
agents be given deferred classified
ton when it is requested by the State
Department OF Agriculture.

MAY BE SETTING STAGE
FOR DECISIVE BATTLE

Washington.-Behind the apparent
lull in the struggle around the Aisne-
Marine salient the high command OF
the allied and German armies may be
setting stage for the decisive battle OF
the war. In that event it seems more
than likely to observers here that
the fourth anniversary of the begin
fame Of fighting raging from east OF
Rheims to the North sea; but with the
crucial conflict in pr ogress somewhere
just north of the his toric Marine where
the Germans have twice tasted the
bitterness of defeat.
There is nothing rs yet in unofficial
reports, however, For in official ad-
vices SO far as known, to show the
plan of General Foch. Flickers Of
fighting have occurred to the north
that may have more Than local signff-
canoe behind them There is some
evidence of feeling here that the
time has not yet come when a suffi-
cient American army has been assem-
bled In France to warrant passing def
initely to offensive tactics. It was
recalled that General March recently
indicated to members Of Congress that
this was not to be expected until later
I'm the year. The situation has chang
ed greatly at the front since then,
however, and only developments there
will show what decision has been
made.

winston Salem-"Grow more
sheep to make more wool to- make
more meat, and to win the war"
These words express the sentiment
OF those who attended the sheep
growers convention here. The at
tendance was large and is not only OF
sheep growers, but OF farmers from
almost all the counties IN this section
OF the state. There were many speech
es made by those who have had ex-
perience with sheep raising in this
section, as well as by representatives
Of the state department of agriculture,
II. G. Chatham presided over the
meeting and made forceful presenta-
ton of the matter, both from a fnan-
cial viewpoint Of the farmer, as well
as from the viewpoint Of the wooden
goods manufacturer.
He declared that 1t is absolutely
necessary that the wool production OF
the nation be increased as a war
and unless there is material
increase it will be impossible in
few years to secure wooden goods
without joining the army and wearing
the uniform.

FROM N. G. ENTRATNED DUR

NO MORE NAVY PERMITS
First Call FOR August increased; $500

Raleigh.-Calls for registrants dur
ing the month OF August will be about
the same as called out during this
month, according to telegram from
Provost Marshal General Crowder to
the Adjutant General. The number of
reg1strants, white and colored, en-
trained from the State so far this
month exceeds 11,O00, including those
for general and limited service.
The first call for August for white
men, to be entrained for Camp
Wadsworth, Spartanburg, S. c., has
been increased from $500 to $500.
They are to be sent to, camp on Au-
gust and on the same date 1000
co1ored men will be entrained for
Camp Greene.
Local boards are instructed, in the
telegram sent by General Crowder
to refuse releases to registrants who
apply for permission to enlist in the
navy, marine corps, or the emergency
fleet. This practically precludes, it
was said future en1istments in the
navy of men who are within the selec-
tive service age limits.
The calls from North Carolina dur
Ing July were approximately four
thousand colored men for general SER
vice and for about three thousand for
special and limited service. The last
number includes registrants who will
be called into service by August 1.
