If it is at all possible, every home
should be provided with some sort OF
a musical instrument. Where there
are children it is doubly a necessity.
The instrument which is played by

Copyright, 1918. all rights reserved
PARIS, Aug. 15.-Despite the impress
sion created here and emphasized in
the French newspapers that the Amer
leans have executed a turnabout in
regard to the Rumanian situation, as
is indicated in the answer of the Peace
Conference to the Runlanian note, it is
stoutly affirmed in American circles
to-day that there has been no change
in the American attitude. because the
final determination Of the whole ques-
tion involved in the Rumanian occupa-
ton Of Budapest awaits the report Of
the commission sent there by the
Allies.
Notwithstanding this the tendency
is to regard the Rumanians as having
won a diplomatic victory. yesterdays
mild answer from the Allies being con-
trasted with the tenor of their pre-
vious communications. This note is
ascribed to Foreign Minister Balfour
and is believed TO have been edited
largely by Under Secretary Polk. The
points emphasized to-day in American
circles are the following:
Flrst-The Peace Conference is
satisfied that the Rumanian army
never received the order to halt be-
fore reaching Budapest, which
somewhat changed the situation.
Second-That while the Ruman-
ian occupation is accepted for the
moment as a fact accomplished, the
conference has not sanctioned Of
flcially its continuance but has
pointed out to the Rumanians that
its decision on this question will be
determined by the report Of the
Allies commission.
Third-The Allies declare also
that they stand united against the
principle advanced by the Rumani-
ans that the breaking of the armi-
| stice by the Hungarians entitled tho
! Rumanians to advance and to re-
+; claim the loot taken by Field Mar
shall Won Afackensen in the con-
| quest of Rumania. Even the French
| now recognize the danger Of allow
| ing such action. which Is likely to
] encourage other nations to follow
! the same procedure. Consequently
! this point remains TO be fought out
with Rumania-
Fourth--That the Peace Confer
| ence has decided not to recognize
the Government set up in Rumania
by the Archduhe Joseph, Premier
Clemenceau having received warm
ing from the Socialists that they
would attempt to overthrow him II
a Hapsburg should be restored. 1t
is believed also that a coalition
Government win be formed soon
which will oust Archduke Joseph.
The Americans believe that whei
