BUDAPEST, Feb. 8.-The little
neutrals of Southeastern Europe,
fearful of springtime crisis i'm
periling their peace, will have their
conscript armies on a war footing
by mid-March.
A survey showed today that de-

ready to be put into force in Ru-
mania, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Tur-

Some of these small powers al

the word mobilization to describe
its plans.
Rumania, holding about 100000

during spring exercises.

crease her productive capacity for
an indefinite period British and
French observers believe, and ad-

other supplies to Germany.
Rumania like her co-members of
the Balkan entente-Yugoslavia
Greece and Turkey-is making her
effort to stay out of war independ-
emily as result of the entente con-
feree's decision last week against
collective measures.
Yugoslavia To Double Strength.
Yugoslavla is expected to have an
army of about 100000 by spring
more than double her normal
strength.
Turkey, officially mot neutral bus
acknowledgement" has kept 200 900
soldiers on her frontier with Soviet
Russia despite an urgent need for
manpower for reconstruction of the
large areas recently devastated by
flood and earthquake
Great Britain and France have
prepared to coordinate the Turkish
army with the strategy of Gen.

In Hungary latest conscript classes
will report to eight corps areas, into
which the army recently divided the

Little has been made known about
the Greek Army's spring meneuvers,
but the recall of reserve officers of
certain classes has been announced.

The Secretary related next how
the American Embassy in Moscow
has interceded in behalf Of Ameri-
can citizens arrested and detained
by Soviet authorities. He declared:
I'm the opinion of this Govern
ment. the Soviet government in
handling some of these cases was
not living up strictly to its UNDER
takings relative to the rights of citl-
zens of the United States to Legal
protection.
Following representations made
by this Government the American
citizens under arrest were eventually
released, and at the present time
so far as this Government is aware
no American citizens are under de.

Debt Negotiations Lansuished.
Mr.. Hull also explained that, ir
addition to concluding certain
agreements at the time diplomatic
relations were established, the two
governments exchanged views re.
garding methods of settling out.
standing Indebtedness. This ex.
change, he said, permitted the hope
for a speedy and satisfactory solu-
ton of these questions, but subse-
quent negotiations terminated un.
successfully.
He recalled that in January, 1885
the State Department issued press
statement pointing out that there
seemed to be scarcely any doub,
that the negotiations. which seemed
to be promising at the start, must
now be regarded as having come tt
an end.

by vote of IS to 38, it rejected

Defeat of the two motions was
achieved by the argument that it

Gold Imports Recited.
Senator Vandenberg took the floor
Of the Senate later to announce he
had just received figures from the
Treasury showing that from 1894 to
1889 total direct imports of gold
from Russia to this country
amounted to s30,6OO,0OO. During the
same period, however, he said, the
figures show that refined bullion
bearing the Russian stamp had been
shipped into this country to the
amount of s2l6,0O0,0OO, and that
within the past few days a vessel has
docked in San Francisco with S.
100000 in Russian gold.
(Secretary Morgenthau con-
firmed reports that the Russian
ship Kim had unloaded approx
mately s5,600.000 worth of gold
at San Francisco for sale to the
Treasury.
CHe said it was the first direct
shipment of gold from Russia
to the United States in more
than two years, but he did not
regard 1t as unusual because "the
Treasury buys gold every day."
(Secretary Morgenthau denied
last week statements by Senator
Townsend, Republican, of Della
ware that the United States was
helping finance Russia's attack
on Finland by buying all its gold
production)
1885 Protest Recalled.
In his letter to the Foreign Rela-
tlons Committee, Mr.. Hull said that
in August, 1885, it was the opinion
OF the American Government that
Russia had violated its obligations
not to interfere in the internal af-
fairs of the United States when it
permitted the Seventh Al-World
Congress of the Communist Inter-
national to convene in Moscow" He
said the American Ambassador had
left note of protest, but that the
Acting Peoples Commissar for For
eign Affairs Of the Soviet denied in
reply that Russia had taken upon
itself obligations of any kind with
regard to the Communist Interna-
tional.
Mr.. Hull said the State Depart
ment few days later issued a state
ment contending that the agreement
between the two governments 'irre-
futably covers activities of the Com
munist international" but he said

long, sharp nose.

With a grin, Gusty opened his
battered trumpet case and swag-
gered over to the piano.
Fat" he called imperiously to
stubby-fingered youth in green
Stacks, give me some oompahs on
Cheri-Beri"
At the first note a change came
over Gusty. He hunched his big
shoulders forward. A dreamy ex-
preston softened his dark eyes.
His rugged face lost its brashness
and became sensitive. Gusty's soul,
as he played, belonged to the
trumpet.
He had done the solo many
times, but when he finished every
one whistled and shouted for more.
Gusty shook his head. Slowly the
rapt look faded and mis- face re-
sumed its "so-what?" expression.
Il amt in the mood now" he
said. "I'll drink coke while
Francie gives out"
Francie moved to the piano. She
closed her eyes and suddenly she
had on clinging black gown
starred with shining sequins, She
looked across footlights. Not at
boys in loud Stacks and polo shirts
Not at high school girls in short
skirts and anklets. She looked out
over dazzling audience in eve
ming dress, and there was a mo-
ment of dramatic silence as a big
white spotlight picked her up.
With these dreams in her eyes,
Francie sang. She tilted her head
sideways. the glossy sweep of her
amber hair falling over one slim
shoulder. Her young voice stabbed
the place with an anguished sweet
ness and made it still

TRANSLATED in terms OF actual
families, these percentages indicate
that somewhere between five and
seven million families are willing
TO open their homes to the child
refugees OF Britain and France
This number is. Of course. far
greater than the number of refu-
gees who could possibly be sent
here.
Responses To the second quos-
ton in the survey clearly show
that each voters attitude is con-
ditioned chiefly by his income.
Forty-one per cent of the families
polled in the upper income group
said they would be willing to take
in refugee children. as compared
to per cent in the middle in
