He is playing footie with Ger
many, with England, with Poland,
with Russia, with Hungary and
Yugoslavia. He is balancing one
against the other in a subtle ef-
fort to keep his fat little country
of oil, grain and cattle from being
carved into pieces, as it has been
periodically since the days when
the Goths and the Romans went
laundering through.
At home, his clever red-haired
mistress, the plump and jolly
Magda Lupescu, is keeping her
finger on the pulse of the nation
and daily devising new means to
bring Carol more money land her
self more influence.
Magda Is Literally
Queen of Run1onia
Anti-Semitic feeling may rise
and wane, but Magda stays on.
She is literally Queen of Rumania,
and perhaps the most powerful
Jewish woman since the days of
Ruth. With Magda ensconced in
the royal palace at Bucharest, Hit.
Ter will never come in the door.
The only way he can do so is by
tearing the door down.
The massacre of Corneliu
Codreanu, head of the Iron Guard
with it's masks, mummery and
anti-Jewish fanaticism, is another
example of Carols clevernesS. He
turned an old Nazi custom to his
own use. He justified the massacre
by saying that Codreanu and his
aids were trying to escape from
their jailers.
Rumania has to be nice to Ger
many, and will be nice. After all,
Germany takes Is per cent of Ru-
mania'S exports-more than any
other country. But it is doubtful
that Rumania will enter the
Rome-Berlin axis unless Russia
runs out on her. Unlike Czecho-
slovakia, Rumania is balanced
between two big powers. Russia is
a next-door neighbor. Germany is
just to the north, now that
CzeehoSlovakia has come under
German domination.
That was why Carol made his
recent swing around the circle.
He visited London, where the
royal family unbent for the first
time and forgave him his pecca-
dillos with Magda. He got the
promise of more trade from
Britain-but no cash in hand.

WAR TREATIES
 CRU MBLE FOR
 WEE ENTENTES
Two Military Facts Co with Wind Tn the Inter-
 ests of Peace

BLEED, Yugoslavia, Aug. 23.-The Little Entents today swept away all the military clauses of another World War treaty and gave Hun- gary the right to rearm lin the in- terests of peace"
 The three nations, Czechoslovakia, Rumania and Yugoslavia, agreed to abrogate arms restrictions of the Trianon Treaty and grant military equality to Hungary.
 The action followed a similar move made by the Balkan Entente, which includes Rumania and Yugo- slavia, on July 30, which wiped out the Treaty of Neuilly, treaty limit ing Bulgaria's rearmament.
 This pact had long been a sore spot because of vigorous complaint rising from Bulgaria's limitation to an army of but 35,000 men.

EUROPE REACTS
 TO J. s. SLUMP

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Aug. g. - European financiers are uncertain about the economic future of the United States, according to Chris topher Hollis, British economist, who has become a member of the faculty of the University of Notre Dame.
 Heavy recent withdrawals of ear marked gold by European powers is proof of growing pessimism with re- gard to Americas business slump. Hollis asserted 'The vast store of American gold will prevent any harmful reaction from this move ment, but it indicates some anxiety abroad as to the possible enlarge ment of the economic cavity you are now calling the recession into one of depression depth. So as not to be caught unprepared, Europeans think it wise for the moment to have their gold closer to home"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Noth- ing irritates the State Department so much as the spats-and-cocktail aroma about its career service.
 Naturally there are few plow- hands among the career diplomats. By the nature of their jobs they travel with nice people" But the number of choice spots in the serv- ice is equalled by the pest holes to which the Department has to send its men.
 A cruise through the tropics looks well enough on travel posters but a four-year stay at a sweaty consular post like as not will fill a mans liver full of equatorial worms and his blood with malaria.

HeN-Raising American
 Doctor Shouts DOlUn One
 General of Japan Army

SHANGHAI, Aug. 23.-Japanese soldiers on duty in the Yangtze River delta area know him as the "hell-raising American doctor who won't quit traipsing around our territory"
 He earned that sobriquet by banging his fist on table and shouting down a Japanese officer who had called him spy.
 The Chinese peasants of the same area call him the "big white boss of the huge brick house of many beds at Huchow" Huchow is 120 miles west of Shanghai and the house of many beds is the Huchow General Hospital, an American owned institution.
 He is Dr. Frederick Manget of Newman, Georgia. For the last % years he has been attached to the Southern Methodist Episcopal Mis- sion in China, where he has prac- ticed medicine on charity basis among the Chinese
 Had To Flee
 When the war came Dr Manget performed operations upon wound- ed Chinese soldiers while aerial bombs fell just outside the mission compound. A few days before the Japanese occupation of the city on November 22, 1937, he evacuated the institution and took patients and staff to Hangchow, some 40 miles away.
 In February the doctor returned to Huchow and found the hospital and mission in Japanese hands. Before the doctor had an opportl- nifty to star negotiations for the return of the institution to the mis- sion, he was arrested and escorted to Shanghai by a Japanese military guard.
 The Japanese military authori- ties at Huchow believed he might be a spy and were taking no chances. Turning him over the boundaries of the International Settlement they told him to stay there.
 But Came Back
 But the doctor didn't stay. By the end of March, he was back again. On this occasion, he found the hospital and mission buildings in a sorry condition.
 The compound was being used as fortress against Chinese guer- fila attacks. Holes had been made in the brick walls and were being used as machine-gun emplace- ments. The mission church, he re- lates, had been stripped of pews altar and other furnishings and was being used as crematory fol dead Japanese soldiers.
 The doctor demanded to see the Japanese colonel in command, but was denied. The commandant o1 the Japanese military police de-
