The fact hat The Rumaniana en-.

American peace officials are highly
incensed by the Rumanian proce-
dure. The fact that the Rumanian
army is largely differed by French
men and the apparent sympathy and
support of France for Rumania has
caused strain between American
and French official circles here
For days the French press evident
