3-Power Agreement
To Divide Rumania
Reported Reached
Reich Declared Inviting
Russiun Attack Because
Of Trade Difficulties
By CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Dispatches from Moscow indicate
that the Russian government, with
its task in Finland not half COM
pleted, is now turning the heat or
Rumania.
The Stain government is follow
ing the same tactics 1t employed
against its other victims. Off1cia
newspapers print editorials urging
that the country let itself be gob-
bled up by signing a mutual as
sistance pact with the U. S. S. r
Meanwhile, Soviet troops at the bor.
der are being reinforced. If the vic.
tim yields a portion of the forces
are sent into the country to protect
1t from some invisible enemies; if il
does not yield, the troops are ordered
to march.
The case of Rumania is particu.
larly difficult. Besides the Russians
in the east, the Bulgarians in the
south and the Hungarians in the
west are ready to join the U. S. S. r
in an attack against Rumania.
Germany is reported to have urgee

Finnish Diplomats
Work as Usual on
IndependenceDa Day
Proeope, on Job Early,
Seeks Time to Greet
Invited Callers

A handful of men who Joined In
the war for their country's independ-
ence % years ago today found them
selves battling again today-bIt on
a different front.
The blue and white flag of Finland
hung in front of that country's
Legation today. the only apparent
concession to the occasion of the
Finnish Independence Day.
Within the Legation, the four
diplomats who are accredited to the
United States worked as feverishly
as they had on December 6, 1917,
when the men of Finland, as one,
sprang to service to drive out the
Russian forces.
There was no time this year for
reminiscence nor for formal celebra-
: ton. 1t may be that some time to-
night the veterans of the old struggle
will face each other to raise their
glasses in toast to victory in the
fight that is never completely won.
Procope on Job Early.
Hjalmar j. Procope, under terrific
pressure, was at his desk in the
Legation, 24l6 Tracy place, early this
morning. He has invited Americans
of Finnish descent to drop by be-
tween and s o'clock tonight and
has promised to try to find time to
greet them.
The others of the staff-Risto So
lanko, secretary; Col Per zilliacus,
military attache, and Capt. Tauno
Veikko Karvonen, assistant military
attache-were working at the Min
ister's side. All participated in the
Finnish war of revolution and Col.
Zilliacus was seriously wounded.
Expressions of sympathy, embassy
attaches said, were coming to them
from people of all stations and
many nations. Diplomats from
other nations stopped at the lega-
ton all during the day.
The atmosphere of mixed anger
and anxiety in the legation was
poignantly' reminiscent of that in
other diplomatic missions here in
recent months-the Austrian, the
Czecho- -Slovakian, the Polish-as
armies have begun to march.
The Firms are hopeful they will
not become, like the attaches of
these countries, diplomatic orphans.
But they know, without admitting
It to outsiders, that the odds are
against them.
No Time for Celebration.
Finland has been crushed before
by the SWedes and the Russians
back through many bloody centuries
1t was a grand duchy of the Russian
Empire in 1917 when the garrisons
were driven back into Russia.
The country found itself free
for the first time from foreign con-
nections and proceeded to build a
democracy modelled on that of the
United States. With the help of
money loaned by this country and
repaid scrupulously since-the Firms
started out on what appeared to be
the most glorious chapter OF their
history.
That history will 60 on, come what
may, the Legation attaches vow.
Minister Procope expressed this de-
termination today with this state
ment:
1T was on December 6, 1917, that
our people declared their freedom
from the Russian Bolsheviks and
created probably the closest counter
part of the American Republic that
exists in the world
Independence Day at the Lega-
ton will be marked by no celebra-
ton. There is no time for celebra-
tions Every effort and every penny
goes to fight the aggressor."

Parisians, quickly informed of

British war machines could be
brought into action.
While German warplanes dropped
bombs on Polish cities one German
army was reported striking south
west from East Prussia and another
moving northeastward from German
Silesia. The apparent objective was
to form a junction a few miles west
of Warsaw, cutting off virtually the

borders on Germany.
