Bucharest Never Gayer, With Theatres, Cafes and Bathrooms in Full
 Blast
By Associated Pres,

Bucharest March S-Much concern is expressed over the lack of trans portation facilities. which prevents Rumanian expectations. and the low rate of exchange for the dollar.
 The country is full of foodstuffs and the shops are loaded with candies and cakes. but the failure in transports has prevented the exportation of 100.- 900 carloads of food.
 The strike on the French railways completely tied up international travel which previously was not satisfactory, and the local trains move at apout the rate of eight or ten miles an hour. with the passengers and baggage loaded inside and outside. on the plat forms and even on top of the coaches.
 Bucharest never was gayer, with the theatres. cafes and bathrooms in full blast. The population is estimated at half million. much of it floating and comprising many of the Russian mo- bility who are selling furs and dia- monds in order to live. The hotels are turning away hundreds of persons. Some are sleeping on porches and some hire cabs for sleeping purposes.
