EUROPE UNDERGOES

COUNCIL GATHERS
Silent But Permanent Rise of
Large States From Small
Ones Accomplished as In
tereSt Is Focused Elsewhere
BY FRANK II. sIMoNDs,

The News SeImltar's Military Expert.
NEW YORK, Dec. 10.--Silently, al
most secretly, one OF the greatest trans
formations in the map of Europe in ali
history is taking place, while the at
tention Of the world audience Is fixed
upon allied armies along the Rhine and
peace preparations on the Seine. New
nations are arising and old nations are
acquiring a size and Importance which
will have a marked effect upon future
European combinations, In many quar-
Tiers the smaller natiOnalities are en-
deavoring to create the situation which
they desire to see indorsed at YER
sailles.
To take single example Of the great
changes now In progress, the announce
ment was made in dispatches Of Sum
day that the Hungarian province Of
Transylyania had. by vote Of its local
union-with the Rumanian kingdom. A
few days before by way of Vienna
came the news of the occupation Of
the Bukovina by Rumanian troops.
Thus, in less than a week, the state
OF Rumania has added to its territories
OF Alsace- Lorraine, with population
at least twice as great as that Of
frances newly redeemed provinces. Nor
Is this all. Before Rumania was freed
from the German yoke, her Berlin mas
ters had, as a sop to a plundered people,
accepted the decision of the council OF
the Russian province Of Bessarabia,
uniting Besarabia to Rumania. This
affected an area three times as great
as that OF Alsace- Lorraine and popu-
lation almost twice as large. Since the
Germans retired the Rumanians have
reaffirmed this act and Bessarabia re-
mains in their possession.

on the modest foundations of a small
one. In 1914 Rumania had an area OF
SO, 900 square miles and a population OF
1880 900. The area was just short OF
that of England and Wales. The new
accessions give Rumania an area OF
| IS, 900 square miles and population OF
| Il, 500, ,00b That means that Rumania
| Is today larger than the mainland Of
| Italy, that Is the Italian Kingdom with
| out Sardinia and Corsica.

SPANISH INFLUENZA IS EPIDEMIC HERE
Many Cases Develop Into Deadly
 Pneuna0Bia. Easier to Prevent
 Than Cure. How to Avoid.

The constant daily increase of Spanish Influenza reported by local physicians shows clearly that many people are failing to take the simple ordinary precautions necessary to avoid infection. For, while Influenza, after it's development, is sometimes difficult to cure, 1t Is an easily pre- yentable disease.
 The best plan is to begin treatment before the first symptom starts. For no other disease will develop so quick ly or spread so rapidly. You may feel fine today-be sick tomorrow and lose a week or more of work. You will in deed be fortunate if pneumonia does not develop.
 The air today is full of Influenza germs. Every breath you take is likely to draw them into your nose and throat. You can prevent the disease by killing the germs before they spread throughout your body. There is probably no safer or surer way to do this than to go to the nearest drug store and get one of the famous lily omei Inhaling Outfits consisting of a bottle of the pure Oil of Hyomei and a little vest pocket, hard rubber inhaling device into which a few drops of the
 
 Just breathe this Oil of Hyamei deep into your nose, throat and lungs and every particle of air that enters your breathing organs will be charged with an antiseptic, germ killing bal sam that will absolutely destroy the germs of Influenza that have found lodgment there.
 You can't do this too often. No or dinary night and morning gargling or throat spraying will be sufficient so long as during the day you come in constant contact with infection. The FIyomei inhaler Is small and can be conveniently carried in handbag or vestpocket. Every half hour or so throughout the day take it out and draw a few breaths of it's pure heal ing air into your nose and throat. By doing this you can prevent infection and check the further spread of the disease even though you are coming in direct contact with it, This is an inexpensive treatment as the Inhaler will last a lifetime and further sup plies of the Oil of Hyomei can be had at any drug store for a few cents.
 NOTE: Oil of Hyomei, so strongly recommended above for the proven tion of Spanish Influenza is not a new discovery but is the application of an old and time-t tried treatment to a new disease Hyomei has been a standard in the treatment of eatarrh and colds for almost twenty years and is sold by druggists everywhere. Hundreds of neople in New Britain and vicinity keep a Hyomei outfit with inhaler on The bathroom shelf for regular winter use. If you have one get it out now and use it. If you haven't one, go to t17e nearest drug store and get one to- day. It is the duty of every person not only for his own sake, but for the community to do all in his power te oravent further spread of this epi- den7ic and to stamp it out.

the President means by continually referring to this country merely as the associate instead of the ally of the nations with whose troops our own troops are actually brigaded in bat tie. If he means that we are some thing less than an ally of France, Eng land. Italy, Belgium and Serbia, then he means that we are som ething less than an enemy of Germany and Aus tria. We ought to make it clear to the world that we are neither an un- trustworthy friend nor an irresolute foe.
 Let us clearly show that we do not desire to pose as the umpire be- tween our faithful and loyal friends and our treacherous and brutal ene- mics, but that We are the staunch al- ly of our friends and the staunch foe of our enemies.

ROOSEVELT OPPOSES
 IA WILSON POINTS
Believes They Would Make Pos. Sible Unconditional Surrender

New York, Oct. 25.-Col. Theodore Roosevelt sent yesterday to Senator Henry Cabot Lodge in Washington a telegram which embodied his com ments on President Wilson's reply to Germany. Duplicates were sent to Senator Miles Poin ndexter and Hiram Johnson because, as the former presi- dent expressed it. he desired ito m ake my appeal to the representatives of the American people from one ocean to the other.' The telegram to Sen- ator Lodge follows:
 "As an American citizen I most earnestly hope that the Senate of the United States, which is part of the treaty making power of the United States will take affirmative action against a negotiated peace with Ger many and in favor of a peace based on the unconditionl surrender of Ger many.
 1T also earnestly hope that on be- half of the American people it will declare against the adoption in their entirety of the 14 points of the Presidents address of last January as offering a basis for a peace satisfac- tory to the United States.
 Let us dictate peace by the ham mering of guns and not chat about peace to the accompaniment of the clicking of typewriters.
 'The language of the fourteen points and the subsequent state ments explaining or qualifying them is neither straightforward nor plain, but if constued in it's probable sense, many and possibly most of these four teen points are thoroughly misehiev- ous and if made the basis of a peace such peace would represent not the unconditional surrender of Germany, but the conditional surrender of the United States.
 Naturally they are entirely satis- factory to Germany and equally nat urally they are in this country satis- factory to every pro-German and pa cifist and Socialist and anti-American so-called internationaist
 "The only peace offer which we should consider from Germany at this time is an offer to accept such terms as the Allies without our aid, have imposed on Bulgaria.
 We ought to de9lare war on Fur key without an hours delay. The fail- ure to do so hitherto has caused the talk about making the world safe for democracy to look unpleasantly like mere insineere rhetoric. While the Turk is left in Europe and permit ted to tyrannize over the subject people the world is thoroughly un- safe for democracy.
 Moreover we should find out what

HERTL|NG APPROVES
wilson PRINCIPLES
AGREES WITH VIEWS OF PRESi-
DENT, BUT SAYS ALLIES DO
NOT APPLY THEM.
When American Aims Are Openly In
dorsed by Others, Germany Will
Consider Peace, Is Imperial
ChancelIor's Declaration.

Amsterdam.-Spea before the
reichstag on February %, the impe-
rial German chancellor, Count Won
Hertling, made this declaration:
Il can fundamentally agree with the
four principles which in President VIII
sons view must be applied in mu-
tual exchange of views, and thus de-
clare with President Wilson that a
general peace can be discussed on such
a basis.
Only one reserve need be made in
this connection These principles must
not only be proposed by the president
of the United States, but also must
actually be recognized by all states
and peoples.
But this goal has not yet been
reached. There is still no court of ar
bitration established by all the nations
for the preservation of peace in the
name of justice. When President Will
son incidentally says that the German
chancellor is speaking to the tribunal
of the entire world, must decline this
tribunal as prejudiced, joyfully as l
would greet it if an impartial court of
arbitration existed and gladly as l
would cooperate to realize such ideals.
Allies Terms Not in Accord.
unfortunately, however, there is
no trace of similar statements on the
part of the leading powers of the en-
tente. England's war aims are still
thoroughly imperialistic and she
wants to impose on the world Il peace
according to Engand's good pleasure.
when England talks about the peo-
Hle's right of Standardization she
does not think of applying the prin-
c'ple TO Ireland, Egypt and India.
1T has been repeatedly said that we
do not contemplate retaining Belgium,
but that we must be safeguarded from
the danger of Il country, with which
we desire after the war to live in peace
and friendship, becoming the object or
jumping-Off ground of enemy machina-
tons. If, therefore, ii proposal came
from the opposing side. for example,
from the government i'll Havre, we
should not adopt an antagonistic att-
tude, even though the discussion ut
first might only be unbinding
Small Step Toward Agreement
Meanwhile, l readily admit that
President Wilson's message of Febrll-
airy IL constitutes perhaps small step
toward a mutual apprOachment."

AIRPLANE ROUTE TO SWEDEN
TreIIeborg and Sassnitz to Be the Ter
mini of the Proposed Line Con-
Meeting With Germany.

The following bulletin on Trelleborg
and Sassnitz, the termini of the pro-
posed Swedish German airplane route,
which assumes special significance in
the light of recent developments In
the diplomatic relations betweCS Ger
many and Sweden, has been issued by
National Geographic society.
Between Trelleborg, the most south
erly town in the Kingdom of Sweden,
and Sassnitz, summer resort on the
northeastern shore of the German
island of Rugen, express steamers in
times of peace make regular trips
across this arm of the Baltic in four
hours. This is the chief water link In
the 24-hour express service between
Stockholm and Berlin. Neither town
would be of any Importance were it not
for the fact that they are the termini
of this steamer service.
Trelleborg is quaint old town of
some 10000 inhabitants, lying 20 miles
southeast of Malmo, capital of Skane,
teh most populous province in all Swe-
den. 1t is only 16 miles from MalmO
to the Danish capital, Copenhagen.
Sassnitz is one of several popular
seaside resorts on the Island of Rugen,
the largest insular possession Of Ger
many, having an area about equal to
that Of Cape Cod. Only about $500
people make Sassnitz their permanent
home, but during the bathing season in
times of peace the village is visited
annually by more than 10000 pleasure
seekers.
The water trip from Trelleborg to
Sassnitz is 60 miles. Thus the rail-
and-steamer distance between Stock
holm and Berlin is 415 miles.

To Boil Eggs by Telephone.

Telephone operators need a sense
lof humor to make the petty annoy
ances Of their occupation bearable. II
they have that, they can find endless
matter for amusement in the freak
.ishness Of the human nature that ex-
hibits itself at the other end of the
wire.
A telephone subscriber asked his
operator to ring his bell in three min
iutes, and Immediately hung up his re-
.ceiver. At the appointed time the su.
pervisor rang on the line, and the
subscriber responded merely with
THANK YOU" Later he called again
to thank the operator, and explained
that he had been boiling eggs and
wanted to time them. They had been
cooked to the queens taste. he said.
