Roumania Defiant,

The troubles of the Paris peace
conference are still many. For some
months they have been seeing the
comparatively small state Of Rou-
mania defS their edicts and do as
che wished toward satisfying her ma
tional aspirations. She went into
Budapest and stayed there. Her
troops took advantage Of the situa
ton to exercise all the powers al
lowed them. seized territory that the
Roumanian national plans included
The latest acquisition is the terri
tory of Bessarabia. a rich and fertile
district that formerly belonged TO the
Russian empire. This was annexed
by proclamation after a plebescite
had been taken that was said to be
Overwhelmingly in favor OF Rou-
manian rule. Roumania has been
doing practically as she pleased in
defiance of the peace makers and
they have been powerless to stop her
1t has just developed that the rear
son Roumania did not answer the
note Of the Allies asking her to
withdraw from Budapest is that she
never received it. Further inquiry
revealed that the Italian minister to
Budapest to whom the note WARM.
trusted had never given it to the
Roumanian onicials.
This puts q new face on the affair
and duplicates Italy, or at least ar
Italian in an Official capacity. Italy'l
own poet in his defiance OF the peace
conference has been no less success
full or independent. and a close sym.
pathy for Roumania exists in Italy
The evasion Of the will Of the peace
conference by the Italian minister
and the annexation of Bessarabia by
Roumania are reported to have
caused the American delegation to
threaten to leave. an act which per.
haps these nations would not be
wholly sorry to see. However that
may be, the facts only 90 to prove
that the tide of nationalism. runs
stronger than the fats of any con-
ference, and that southern Europeans
have not yet reached the point where
they are willing to try new methods.

Arnisties Day Observance at City
Hall.

In our local columns this morning
is an announcement of a mass meet
ing Of the citizens of Augusta to be
held at City hall, next Sunday even
ing, in recognition OF Armistice Day,
which is the following Tuesday.
This appears to be move in the
righ. direction. Arnistice Day, or
whatever day liz finally set apart az
the Memorial day Of the Great War,
will surely grow in significance.
Eventually it will occupy place in
the hearts Of our people which viii
grow more secure as We realize more
clearly what blessings as we'll as sor-
rows are bound up in the thought Of
the day. That will take time, but II
il an excellent idea that on Sunday
night just before the first celebration
Of the day itself. which will naturally
and properly be given over mostly to
rejoicing, there should be a formal
gathering of all our citizens at which
the more serious aspect Of the day
will be considered, as well as the fact
that the War cost US life and brought
us untold sorrow.
Then. too, it appeals to Us as
worth while to get together as a
community in City hall to join in the
consideration Of those fundamentals
which bind communities like ours to-
gcther. There should be other com
munity gatherings Of similar na
ture. They develop spirit Of
neighboriiness and unity which will
not be lacking in good effect upon us
all. In this coming meeting there
appears to be an indication Of such a
desire.
Other days are coming which will
be worthy of our united attention
the day the Peace Treaty is finally
signed-the coming Centennial Of the
State of Maine. We shall indicate
by the way We take hold Of next
Sundays meeting how we feel about
such an idea. Our attendance will
insure not only the adequate cele-
bration of Armistice day, but will
mark the beginning Of a movement
which will mean much to the City Of
Augusta.
Let's go.
