Argentina Favors the
Allis, Says DR.. Mitre

New York-Although the present
government of Argentina is still
nominally neutral, the sympathy of
the bulk of that nation is strongly
with the Allies, according to DIR.
Jorge A. Mitre, director of La Ma
cion, of Buenos Aires, one OF the
most influential newspapers Of South
America. DIR. Mitre has just come
to New York for stay of several
months in the interests of his paper.
"A circumstance so small that IT
would not mean war in normal
times would be enough to stir
Argentina to action" Dr. Mitre de-
clared. THE LuXburg affair crys-
tallized the sentiment Of Argentina
in no uncertain manner, and all the
lesding citizens, the Congress, and
the press are bold in their statements
of friendship toward the Allies"
During my long trip from 8ue-
nos Aires" he said, "I have had
comparatively little news as 10 what
was going on, so L cannot speak fully
of political developments in Argen-
tina. l am politically opposed to
President Irigoyen and am not per-
sonally acquainted with him, so l
cannot speak of his personal policies
except as they are manifested by
events that are known to all. But,
as a matter of personal opi7ion,
think the Presidents attitude and
that 0r his political supporters does
not al all mean indifference to the
Allied cause.
"Argentina's friendship to the AL
lies has been shown in many ways

the United States during the stay
OF an American squadron last year

Rumania, Desolate and
Barren as War Result;
Poor as German Prize

London-Rumania is a desolate
barren country to-day-an awful OBJ
Ject lesson of the cost of war. Two
years ago it was one of the garden
countries OF the world, teeming with
agricultural wealth and prosperity
More than 100000 Russian soldiers
lived in it and on it for nearly q
year, and they left very little behind
them.
Anyone who has known Rumania
as she was when peace was forced
upon her by the Central Powers,
must be convinced that it will be
years before Germany can draw from
her fields and orchards any very val
liable tribute.
Nor is the German control of Ru-
mania's petroleum production likely
to be very profitable investment for
some time. In the so-called "occu-
pied territories" the destruction of
the oil fields was so complete that
Germany after fifteen months, is able
to measure her supplies from this
source in quarts.
In the rest of Rumania, it is doubt
full if production can be much in
creased beyond that of the past year,
and during the past year petroleum
has been one of the scarcest articles
in the country, obtainahle only un-
der personal and special license from
the government.
During the middle of the winter
the Associated Press correspondent
made a tour of inspection around
perhaps a score of the frontier towns
where the largest proportion of ref
ugee population had been dumped in
the hurried retreat before the Ger
man hosts. Conditions wre serious
beyond description. but the major
part of the suffering was due to
famine rather than exposure.
The shortage of food was such
that in many instances refugees were
seen in the fields eating-or-at-
tempting to eat-grass.
Terrible as was the plight of the
people of these refugee districts in
war time, they can hope for little
alienation with the coming of q
forced peace. Practically no harvests
can be expected this year in these
districts, for no seed will be avail
able, and moreover there are no agri-
cultural implements left, nor any
horses or draft animals of any kind
Thousands of Rumanian horses died
of starvation during the winter, for
the peasants were too exhausted in
caring for their own needs to make
any attempt to provide for their
beasts.
In France the horses would have
been put to good use as meat for
human food, but the Rumanian
peasant has an adherence of horse
flesh as meat.

Girl Has Hair Cut
Like a College Bow

} Oceanside, l.. I.-"Hair trimmed,
please" said Captain Edna Mitchell
Blue. of the Oceanside farmerettes,
as she entered barber shop in Viii
lage avenue, Rockville Center, the
other morning. 1t nearly took the
poor barber off his feet.
What style?" he managed to
'blurt out as several lather-covered
faces raised up and looked in the
mirrors in front of them. In fact
they kept on looking and very little
shaving went on for the next half
hour.
Captain Blue then placed herself
in one of the chairs and told the
astonished tonsorial artist that she
wanted an up-to-date hair trim.
Use the machine on the back same
as you would on college student.
Leave plenty on the top were her
instructions.
The barber did it and the dark
brown tresses fell at his feet. He
next applied the clippers and finished
with razor "Oh, that tickles," she
said, giggling, but don't it feel fine.
So nice and COOL"
A package was handed her as she
tipped the barber. When the captain
of the farmerettes had departed, the
man with the shears remarked,
There's enough hair in that bundle
to make a good switch and by heck
she may appreciate it some day."
