QUEEN CONVOYS SUPPLY OF FOOD
 TO RUMANIANS

BUCHAREST, Rumania, June 21 (by maiD Queen Marie of Rumania is at present busiIy engaged in assisting in the distribution of a trainlOad of American Red Cross supplies, which she personally conveyed from Paris to Bucharest.
 During her recent visit to France the queen made known the emergency needs of the Rumanian soldiers and refugees. She obtained three carloads of medical and surgical equipment from the Red Cross and had three cars attached to the royal 'train on her return journey. Upon arrival here the supplies were immediately dis patched to central points for distribu- tion to the military hospitals which were in need Other supplies were set aside for the refugees fleeing from the fighting zone in Bessarabia.
 These supplies have now been aug mented by a shipload of material which has arrived at Galatz from the Red Cross storehouses in Athens. To insure their prompt delivery, Lieut.. Colonel Henry w. Anderson, Red Cross commissioner to the Balkans, himself accompanied the ship from Athens. It was met at Galatz by Ru- manian staff officers, and it's arrival was the occasion for a remarkable demonstration on the part of the pop ulace.
 The resumption of hostilities in Bes- sarabia is keeping the hospitals there we'll filled, and is adding hundreds to the already large number of homeless refugees.

PEN|TENT|ARY FOR
Joy RIDERS URGED
Present Law Broad Enough
to Cover Cases, Maj.
Pullman Believes.

Numerous traffic accidents, some re-
sulting in the taking Of human life
and others only in the destruction of
property or slight injury to pedes-
TRANS or vehiclists. have been caused
by Joyr1derS, and so serious was the
problem that Congress enacted law
| that was calculated to solve it. The
penalty provided was Imprisonment
for period of not more than FIVE
years and fine of $1,000.
Favors Penitentiary Sentence.
Maj. Raymond W. Pullman, sunerin-
tendent of police, contends that moth
ing short of penitentiary sentences
will put stop to the practice. 1t is
pointed out that all joyriders do not
hgure in accidents, but many of them
have smashed cars belonging to others
and injured or killed innocent persons.
1t is provided in the law that any
person who, without consent of the
owner, shall take, use. operate or re-
| move, or cause to be taken, operated
other building, or from any place or
locality on public or private high
way, park, parkway, street, lot, field,
Enclosure or space, an automobile or
motor vehicle. and operate or drive,
or cause the same to be operated or

LEAGUE Of NATIONS
TO Be A COMPOSITE
Principles Submitted by Varl-
Gus Delegates viii Be
Nodded Into Plan.
FUNDAMENTALS OFFERED
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright. 1919, by n. Y. Evening Post Inc ,
PARIS, January 22..-Whenever the
plan of the league of nations is form
ally promulgated by the peace con
ference it will not be the American
plan nor the plan of the British or the
Italians, French or the Japanese, but
will be the result of the unanimous
agreement of the five great powers,
embodying ideas and proposals gath
cred from the best plans offered by all
of them.
The American public can expect to
see such a comprehensive outline of
the general principles of the league
of nations announced within ten days
or two weeks. The progress of the
informal conferences is already so
far advanced that it is fully believed
by the men working thereon that
they will be ready within fortnight
to submit world plan which, while
not perfectly destroying war. Will be
the best fundamentally to which all
will agree at the outset as the start
tg point toward an ideal intefna-
tionat code OF morality.

Staff Correspondent of The Star.


PARIS, January 22.--The majority
of the international board of admi-
rails, French, British and American.
which has been closely studying the
whole Adriatic and Mediterranean
problem as it affects Italy's claim to
complete control of the Adriatic. is
about to make a report to the peace
conference.
This report I learn, will place
Dalmatia in the hands of the Jugo-
slavs. while Fiume, claimed by the
Italians in order to wipe out d sore
spot in international relations, will
be internationalized and free access
thereto given to Jugoslavs.
The Adriatic question is looming
large in the jockeying that today Is
going on in our conferences being
held by the world delegates. Upon
a successful solution rests the future
peace of the Balkans. Unless
league of nations is definitely organ
lied and placed in working order at
the earliest possible moment, the
situation at Fiume, from which l
have returned, is deadly dangerous.
France Resists Claims.
Italv's claims to Fiume and coastal
districts of Dalmatia are stoutiy re-
sisted by France and the Jugoslavs,
who insist that If the JugoslaV ma
tion is not to become vasSal to ltaly
through control of the only logical
port, then Fiume must be controlled
by the league of nations or through
the JugoSlavS exclusively.
In the latter contingency the dan
gerous situation would not be re-
moved. for if it were not for the IN
ternational forces in the harbor at
Fiume today the present situation un-
doubtedly would get out of hand, with
resultant great bloodshed.
Italy Makes Charges.
italy makes charges that. today
France is backing the Jugoslavs in
efforts to create discord in Fiume and
'Dalmatian regions to the prejudice
of Italy's claims. France is charged
with financing the Jugoslavs. and
through such control hopes in the
long run to control indirectly the
flames of war. This the peace con-
ferees see, and believe If league of
nations is established it would elimi-
nate many present-day demands and
bring nearer the chances of early
general agreement and an end to the
peace conference.
Haste Urged on Conference.
Insistent demands are being made
upon conferees Of England, France
and Italy that conference work be
hastened. It is realized that until It
is finished the military forces cannot
be demobilized and broad programs of
reconstruction initiated.
