RUMAN|A'SSTAND IS DISCUSSED BY
 SUPREME COUNCIL
Another Note Sent Declar- ing Council Impatiently Awaits Reply to Repar-
 atiOns Communication
By Associated Press

Paris, August 25.--The supreme coun- cil at this afternoons meeting discussed Rumania's attitude in the Hungarian slt- eation and sent Runania another note saving that the council impauehtly awaited a reply to the note sent on sat urday concerning reparations.
 The council discussed the response to the Austrians at length, but did not com piete the text of the reply, and will con slider it again tomorrow. Some changes are being made in the treaty in compll- ance with the Austrians request. Aus tria will be treated simply as an enemy country, despite the fact the govern ment is new. It will be required to bear reparations alone, but the pre-war debt and the war expenses will be apportoned among the new countries which have grown out of Austrian territory in ac- oordance with the income of their ter ritory before the war.

AMERICANS MADE GOAT

Paris, August 25.-The endless picker ing in the supreme council is having serious effect. The revival of many ques- tions in which the United States IS not directly interested is making the Amerl- can delegation extremely impatient The Americans are constantly called upon to act as arbiters in Balkan and other questions, with the result that sections oi the European press, especially the French press. are assailing the Amerlcan position on questions in which the Ameri- cans acted wholly without self-consid, eraton.
 Herbert Hoover's denunciation of the councils hesitancy in strengthening out the Hungarian tangle and protecting the rights of all the entente nations in the matter of Hungarian reparations IS re- flected in the attitude of the entire American delegation. While some mem bers of the supreme council appear to take the same position, the feeling is growing in American circles that seV- eral representativeG of the great powers are not inclined at the present time to bring Rumania to account on the arms tice terms.
 The American representatives teei great disadvantage in the present ar rangement; the representatives of the other powers being near home are able to confer directly with their govern ments thus making the council in gen. eral a clearing house for European dls- putes not directly related to peace.
 It is the belief that after the sigma ture of the Austrian treaty the confer ence will have a long vacation, thus forcing the various foreign offices to handle matters.

SERB MOBILIZATION DENIED

Paris. August 25-A report received in Paris says that the Serbians are mobl- izing their forces in Banat and Temes- var. N. P Pachitch, e-premier and head of the Serb delegation, says the Serbs are reinforcing their troops on their side line through Banat, estab- lished by the supreme council, because the Rumanians are concentrating on the other side, causing great agitation among the population of considerable part of the territory which is prepon- derately Serbian for a considerable dis tance inside the area attributed to Ru- mania
 The talk of mobilization. however. MT. Pachitch declared is exaggerated, There are no Serbian troops in Banat except ing in the territory attributed to Serbia by the supreme council, and the num- Der, he says, is only such as prudence demands in view of the state of unrest. due to the fact that the dividing line breaks up a region inhabited over three fourths of it's extent by Serbs and Croats and even cuts the loop in the railroad from Szgden to Prschitz, re- quiring travellers to cross and recross the line when proceeding from one point to another on the Serbian side, while at Baseias, on the Danube.
 The. Serbs are taking no measures. however, other than to occupy the terri tory attributed to them.
 It is stated in Rumanian circles here that the reported concentration of Ru- manian troops in Banat is erroneous. and that only sufficient force to police the line drawn by the council has been sent there.

chinery, the exemptions and the reamC and tonnage taxes, contend, however that the suggested concessions are not sufficient to base a real compromise upon. This peculiar situation con.Nonts those who are trying to effect a compro- mise. Governor Kilby, while expressing willingness to modify the taxing ma chinery, has not yet consented to the extent demanded by it's opponents. Gov ernor Kilby wants eshipbuilding and waterpower exemptions retained in the bill. A majority of the house opposes this, but a great many of the house members who oppose the taxing machin- cry favor the exemptions and vice-versa It is going to be a hard matter to har- monize these two elements, even if an agreement can be reached on the income and tonnage taxes.
