Conflicting versions are in cireula-

state funds. which were also taken
to Moscow during the war. Some con.
slider them non-existent: others say
the treasure is intact in the vaults
of the kremlin, where it WAS deposited
by the czarist administration. A re-
cent report says that there Ii now in
Moscow a deposit of 100000 gold
rubles belonging to the Rumanian
treasury, but this is only small
fraction Of the original amount.
When the armistice freed Rumania
from it's isolation. the queen intrust-
ed the task of recovering the gov
ernment funds and her crown Jewels

der from Nome, Alaska. This man
was said to exercise great influence

overtures and much negotiation with
Moscow he gave up the task of re-

While the. situation presented by

shutters. Then suddenly there came
boom. A beautiful actress died
while attending an opium smoking
party. Stories were printed about the
thrills to be experienced in Chinese
opium dens and public attention was
focused on the sinister alleys and by
ways of Chinatown. Restaurants IN
