Rumania Will Fight
For Allies to the End
Minister to u. S. Tells How Boil

[Staf Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-"Rumania
will be true to her alliances and the
Allied cause, and whatever happens
Rumania will continue to fight till the
end of ends" So declared Dr. Con-
stantine Angelesco, Rumanian Minister
to the United States, in an interview
to-day, describing how the Bolsheviki
had been ousted from his country. He
said:
"The Rumanian army has been
struck in the back by the Bolsheviki.
So it was at Galatz and at Pashcani.
In these two cities the Bolsheviki at
tackled the Rumanians during the night
on an order from Petrograd to arrest
the government and the royal family.
The Rumanian divisions completely de-
feated and disarmed the Bolsheviki,
part of whom Joined the Germans and
part were sent back to Russia, all with
out their arms, which were kept by the
Rumanians.
ut should be emphasized that Ru-
mania will be true to her alliances and
the Allied cause. This fight is for Ru-

Rumania entered the war not to con-

only to free the four million Rumanians
of Transylvania, who were threatened
with complete standardization by
Hungary.
"The economic situation in Rumania
to-day is a very bad one All food
stuffs which were in the country
have been eaten up by the Russian
troops, instead Of Russia sending food
stuffs to Rumania. Also, the Bolshevk
movement has cut every means of COM
munication with the western countries.
Since November 7 we have had no COM
munication with those countries, but
before that we could obtain supplies
from England, France and the United
States.
"Rumania's only contact with the
friendly world is by wireless to Sa-
lonica.
"There are hardly any foodstuffs left
in the country. Bread may be eaten
only once week. There is no meat at
all except for the army. Everything
the country has is given first to the

Reported To Be Bright
rPv rrnffnfl prrcs1


PETROGRAD, Feb. 6 (Delayed).-
The Russian delegates to the Brest-
Litovsk conference unanimously re-
fused to accede to the Teutonic dele
gates demands that separate peace
be signed Immediately, it was officially
announced here to-day. The negotia-
tions are continuing.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE resumption
of the peace negotiations at Brest-
Litovsk to-day, if it occurs, will take
place in fog of vague reports and
contradictions as far as the outside
world is concerned
Statements in many German news
papers indicate a probable breach be-
tween the Germans and the Bolsheviki,
and the conclusion of separate ar
rangerrent between the Central Pow
ers and the Ukraine. No light on the
situation comes from Russian sources.
A dispatch from the Petrograd cor
respondent of "The Daily News" under
Tuesdays date says there has been no
direct telegraphic news received there
from Brest-Litovsk for four days. Tho
Germans alleged that the wires were
damaged, whereupon the Russians SIM
ilarly damaged" the direct wire be-
tween Petrograd and Berlin used by
the Austro-German delegation.
Foreign Minister Trotzky is reported
to be at BrcstLitovsk, but nothing has
been heard from him.
In the meantime the Bolsheviki con-
tlnuc to circulate, by means Of the
wireless, statements regarding the tri-
umph of the Bolshevik Rada in the
Ukraine. A statement issued yesterday
says that the seat of its government
was transferred to Kiev on Sunday, and
that agreements had been reached be-
tween the Bolshevik government in
Russia and the Rada regarding Fed
oral union with Russia and the COM
plete unity of foreign and internal
affairs. 1t is added that representa-
tives of all the army fronts have rec
ognized the Balshevik Rada as the
sole authority in the Ukraine. An all
ukrainian congress will be held at Kiev
in the next few days.
Claims also are made by the Boil
shevik government that all authority
in the Crimea is in the hands of the
Crimeqn Council of Workmen's and
Soldiers Delegates. Elsewhere, the
Bolshfviki claim to be winning and
they report the capture of Bobruisk
near Minsk. 1t is added that the
ukrainian soldiers are joining the Boil
shevik armies.

Minute Men Recruit
...1 ~.1sa < Shipworkers Here

Pending action on the report calling
Washington's attention to the lack of
coordination here, Chairman Joseph B,
Thomas and his New York -Four Min
ute Men" continued yesterday not only
to urge mechanics to turn shipbuilders,
but to register such as responded to
their appeals.
Registration is not properly a part
of the "Four Minute Mems" work, as
to William Mccormick Blair, director
of the Creel Committees Division Of
Four Minute Men. AS requested by
Chairman Hurley of the Shipping
Board, three hundred of them are re-
cruiting for the shipyards among the
movie theatres of the city.
This they are doing cheerfuliy, as
part of the work for which they volun-
teered. The other end of the job they
seem to be anybody else to look after it.
Since they discovered-and this was
several days after the beginning of
their campaign, which opened January
30-that no adequate registration agen
cy existed in New York, number Of
the Four Minute Men have pitched IN
to look after the clerical work They
have established headquarters in the
office Of the United States Employment
Street, There they registered several
hundred more skilled mechanics yester-
day and placed more than hundred in
shipyard jobs.
"But we need more than one such

should be one in The Bronx and one In
Brooklyn, at least, so that men can reg

Hunger Is Making
Germans Lawless

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 7.-During a dis
cussion Wednesday in the Prussian
lower House in regard to the estimate
ofthe Ministry Of Justice, the Deputies
discussed at length the demoralizing
effects of the habitual infringen ents
of the war regulations, especially in
connection with food. Respect for the
laws was declared to be vanishing and
the evil efforts of this condition would
be apparent after the war, according to
the Deputies who spoke on the subject.
Minister of Justice SPAIN said that
in Prussia alone nearly a half million
fractions of the war regulations, and
Imprisonment had been dealt to quite
half of the transgressors. The Minister
also declared that the figures of ju-
venile criminality were extraordinarily
serious.

They charge that the German govern

The German newspapers. the "Iz-
