Rumonion Agreement
Announced by Russia

MOSCOW, June % P).-The
official Soviet radio announced today
that Rumania had agreed to Russian
demands for the transfer of Bessa-
rabia and Northern Bucovina to the
Soviet Union.
The announcement said the cities
OF Cernauti, Chisinau and Alderman
(Cetatea-Alba) would be occupied
today.
Moscow gave Rumania until noon
today to reply in full as to whether
the Russian demands were accept
able and the Rumanian Minister to
Moscow delivered the consent at II
Am. g am. E. S. t..
Transfer in Four Days Demanded.
Russia insisted that the territory
be transferred within four days.
On Rumania's request for longer
period, however, she agreed that If
an extension becomes necessary a
committee of two Rumanians and
two Russians would take up the
problem.
A Russian communique distrib-
uted by TasS, official Soviet news
agency, said that Rumania took
advantage of Russia's military
weakness in 1918 and "forcibly
wrested' Bessarabia from the
Soviet Union. (Text of the Com
munique is on page Aid
The communique said Russia
never reconciled herself to that act,
and now when the military weak
ness of the U. S. S. R. has become a
thing of the past, the Soviet Union

could constitute "a means Of COM
pensation for the tremendous dam
age inflicted on the Soviet Union
and the population Of Bessarabia by
20 years Of Rumanian domination
in Bessarabia."
The restoration of Bessarabia to
the Soviet Union and the transfer
of Northern Bucovina to Russia
were the only demands disclosed in
the communique.

considers 1t necessary = to take
up jointly with Rumania the i'm
mediate settlement of the question
of the restoration of Bessarabia to
the Soviet Union.'
Bessarabia, Bucovina Linked.
The commmIque added that
Russia considered the restoration of
Bessarabia "organicslly bound" with
the transfer to Russia ""of that part
OF Bucovina of which the population
in its overwhelming majority is
bound to the Soviet Ukraine"
The communique said the transfer
OF Northern Bucovira to Russia

that they will press for settlement
of their territorial claims in the
near future. But whether action
might come now was believed a
question which would be decided in
Berlin and Moscow. 1t was regarded
as certain that Hungary would not
act without go-ahead from Hitler
and Bulgaria was expected to look
for the signal from Stain.
Hungary has laid claim to Tran
sylvania, which Rumania got from
Austria Hungary after the World
War. and Bulgaria wants the return
of Southern Dobru,a.
Indication that Hungary was OPP
Grating in close touch with the
Rome-Berlin Axis was seen in visits
of the German and Italian Minis
ters with Premier Count Paul Teleki
and Foreign Minister Count Stefan
Csaky. The German Minister later
was reported to have left for Vienna
to confer with German Foreign
Minister Joachim Won Ribbentrop.
Precautions Taken.
Precautionary measures were taken
by several countries. Yugoslavia
reinforced the guard on her Ital-
ian border after revisionist DEM
onstrations which caused fear Italy
might decide to take the Dalmatian
coast, and Turkey rushed a naval
squadron through the Straits of Bos-
porus into the Black Sea, ready to
defend the straits against attack.
This naval operation preceded to-
days fleet movement.
Bulgaria, in addition to wanting
territory from Rumania. In the past
has asked for an outlet to the
Aegean Sea which would be at the
expense of Greece. This involves
Turkey again, since Turkey objects
to being separated from Greece. As
a result Turkey rushed troops to her
Bulgarian frontier.

DANGER Links In ENCLOSED
DOORS

Two accidents of a similar nature
on Oxford streets, Saturday, calls
attention to the dangers of partial
ly closed automobile doors. The first
was in front of the Winchester
Building on South Third Street,
when Leonard OFT, one year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles OFT, North
East, Nd, fell from the car where it
was with his mother, decorating its
face so badly from its bottle, which
broke when the child fell, that it
had to be hurried to a physician.
His nose was cut entirely through
and the wound was bleeding profuse-
ly, but fortunately the injury was
not dangerous.
The second casualty occurred at
the corner of the Fire House Park
when a lady from Baltimore, was
thrown against the automobile door
and into the street, as the mahine
swung around the curve. Beyond a
few severe bruises she too, was un-
harmed. - Oxford News.

Miracle House Reopens

The twenty-second season of the
Miracle House, the tuberculosis
preventorium for the children OF
Maryland began last week when
approximately 1870 Maryland boys
and girls arrived there for the
summer, it was announced by the
Maryland Tuberculosis Association.
The Miracle House is for white
children between the ages of 6 and
~ who are malnourished and below
par physically. All of the children
have, at one time or another, been
in contact with persons having act
i've tuberculosis. In many instances
these have been their parents.
"a tired and weak individual is
perfect host to tuberculosis If the
germs get into the body" said Will
liam B. Matthews, managing direct
or of the Association, land tuber-
culosis germs are almost certain to
cause infection If child is constant
ly in contact with person having
the disease. BY going to the Miracle
House a child may be removed from
sources of infection and also build
up it's physical resistance SO that a
stronger fight can be made against
the disease"
"If nothing is done for children
in these circumstances" he contin-
ued, "the chance is that they, in
turn, will become tuberculosis cases
and also the responsibility of the
community"
The preventorium Is located at
Claiborne on the Eastern Shore. The
property is situated on the Bay where
the children can enjoy swimming
and other pleasures OF. the seashore,
but always under supervision.
Since the Miracle House was start
ed in 1919, over 1900 boys and girls
have been treated.
Children accepted at the Miracle
House are taken for the whole seas
on. This necessarily limits the num-
Der of children aided during the
summer, but it pays dividend in
improved health for those who need
it most. The officials of the Associa-
ton believe that good prevention
and health work can't be accomplish
ed in less time.
The work at the Miracle House
is made possible through the annual
sale of tuberculosis Christmas Seals
to citizens of the State.
