RUMANIA NEEDS LESSON
Because of Disobedience to Direct Orders
of the Allies.

In occupying Budapest with its armies
Rumania has acted in direct violation of
the orders sent by the supreme council
Saturday night. Unless there is tresch-
cry at Paris unless secret forces are neu-
Trailing the fine professions Of the peace
conference, Rumania badly needs a les
son. 1t is suggested in Paris that the
United States may exact pressure by
threatening to stop supplies, but it may
be doubted whether such threats would
be effective or wise.
The time for economic pressure" has
gone by; the time for reconstruction has
come. What Europe urgently needs is
the immediate ending of blockade and
embargo. Even If nation behave bad
ly, economic coercion is under present
conditions not the first but the last
weapon to be used against it, and should
not be considered if any other means
exists Of bringing about change Of
heart.
In the ease Of Rumania such another
means does exist. BY its fragrant viola
ton of the orders received from the SUI
preme council the Rumanian government
has destroyed whatever obligation the
allies might feel to permit the annexa-
ton of Hungarian territory The appro-
pirate penalty for the occupation Of
Budapest is the tearing up of the secret
treaty of 1916 by which the Rumanian
government extorted from the allies a
bargain as iniquitous as any made dur
ing the war II the peace conference
wishes to prove the sincerity of its pro-
fessions in regard to Hungary it can do
SO most effectively BY restoring to Hun
gary all the seized territory which is not
indisputably Rumanian.
This would be blow TO the ambitions
OF Rumania, but it would make for a
lasting peace, whereas the map of this
region as drawn in the secret treaty
would provide as likely a starting place
as any for the next war. That the secret
treaty has not before this been cancelled
is to be ascribed 10 the persistence Sc
cretly, Of the same policy which shaped
it. The present lawless conduct Of Ru-
mania gives q chance, which the United
States should not pass by. to challenge
that policy, to insist on the cancellation
OF morally indefensible treaty, and to
turn Rumania, the most reactionarv
country left IN eastern Europe, out of
Hungary, where democracy has splen-
did chance il Rumanian aggression can
be curbed
Hardly any incident since the armi-
stce began has done more to breed ey-
nieism in regard to the motives and con.
duet Of the Paris conference than the
treatment of Hungary, and il. is not sur
prising that the correspondents at Paris
should find the American delegation per
turbed. For the conference to call Ru.
mania to order and to make conspic.
uous demonstration of the good faith OF
its pledges is essential The reputation
of the allies is at stake Springfield Re-
publican.

NEW PATHS FOR OLD.
Disabled Indian Soldier Finds New vo
cation in the Maine Woods.

Washington, D. G.. Aug. 9.Eyery
summer for years up in the Maine woods,
there has been a tall, brawny, silent In
dian who guided city folks through the
deep forests TO the best hunting grounds
All Of his life had been spent in the
open, fishing, hunting, working some
times in a lumber camp, and always a
dumb lover Of the GOODNESS and the 81
lences. When war came he joined other
Americans in the big fight, and during a
battle a high explosive she'll fractured
his right leg, and in healing drew it up
shorter by an inch and half than the
other one OF course 1t was great TO
come through the experience with any
called him home! He could never roam
through them again
When the federal board for vocational
education got In touch with him through
its agents, he was willing to leave his
future to them. They knew he could
never tramp for long miles across the
forests, so they questioned him closely
and found that he was interested in re-
pairing things, and that he really had
some mechanical skill. The next thing
was to send him to learn motor mechan-
les, and there he made wonderful prog
ress.
II may seem long way to you from
Name woods to motor mechanics, but it
is not There are motor boats to he run
over the lakes and rivers up there, There
are parties who want to be motored
across the roads that lead into the for
ests. The silent Indian has not given up
his woods, he has simply found another
road through them.
The federal board for vocational edu-
cation is eager to get in touch with ey-
cry disabled soldier who must find new
path in life or who needs helping hand
in clearing the old.

This is the information that has finally

vate Phillips, and transmitted by tele-
graph to his relatives Mt Eeckley by
Representative Echols secretary. They
had thought him dead, or, at ieast,
knew he was missing from them,
and feared the worst. The case is one
of those of the many mysterious ones

But it is now definitely settled that
that one was not the Beckley soldier
