agreed to ship Al per cent of his
1910 oil production to the Reich.
The. allies, which own so per cent
of Rumania's oil wells, disapproved
that time, putting the screws on Ru-
manian imports.
In desperation, Carol took final
step which appeased the allies but
left him facing Germany's renewed
wrath. Banned were exports of all
vital war materials, including the
aviation gasoline which Germany
covets. Meanwhile Carol called
100000 men to the colors and
hoped for the best.
To the southeast, Turkey ordered
an accumulation of war supplies and
placed itself on war footing, while
newspapers warned the public that
Europe's war might soon spread to
the near east. Turkey was ready to
march the instant an invader set
foot in the Balkans.
Equally jittery were the Scandi-
navian states. Norway continued
protesting to Britain over the Als-
mark incident, and Swedish wrath
rose over Russian bombing of Pa
jala, border town near the Finnish
frontier. Meanwhile the foreign min
listers of both these nations met with
Denmark's foreign minister in Co
penhagen, expressing cautious hopes
that they might remain neutral and
that the wars might soon be ended.
Of the three Scandinavian states,
only Denmark had a really good
chance of staying neutral, for Rus
STA was moving closer.

In 1926 the earliest cultivation of
apples occurred in what now is the
State of Washington by the planting
of an apple seed on the site of VAN

with historical firsts in Washing

the first gristmill, the first sawmill,
first wool growing and first brick
yard. In 1889 the first sea going
craft to be built in the Pacific
Northwest was launched. In 1887

Famed Arctic Explorer
Plans Trip Under Ice

Sir Hubert Wilkins is at it again
this time with pocket subma-
rine" he intends to sail under the
Arctic ice to set up a weather sta
ton near the North pole.
He plans to sail his tiny subma-
rine from Fort McMurray, 200 miles
north of Edmonton, Alberta, through
the rivers and lakes of northern
Canada to the Arctic, and thence to
a spot midway between the Alas
kan coast and the North pole.
The expedition would be the ex-
plorer's second attempt at Arctic
exploration via the underwater
route. His first endeavor, aimed at
reaching the pole, failed in its OBJ
jective almost a decade ago, and
brought mixed criticism from fellow
scientists and explorers.
Sir Hubert brought back "only q
bucket Of mud from the bottom OF
the ocean," some said.
II have been assured il will be
possible to take the vessel down the
Mackenzie, and have practically
completed arrangements here for It's
construction" said Hir Hubert In
Edmonton.
