an even so, according to the British.

BUCHAREST, Feb. 22.-Rumania

preparations speeded up today fol-
lowing authoritative reports that
Germany was challenging the gov
ernment's ban on export of avia-
ton gasoline to the Reich.
DR.. Karl Clodius, German eco
nomic expert, is expected here Mon

insist on full delivery of Germany S
1910 quota of oil and oil products
Meanwhile. the government ordered
many of 100000 reservists originally
called for March to start report
ing Immediately to concentration
centers. it was learned.
Effective March l, Rumania will
have 100000 men under arms

out being so labeled.
Reservists Jam Railways.
Railways now are jammed with
reservists moving toward frontiers
and with long trainloads OF tanks

The arrival OF DR.. Clodius will CO.
incide with the start Of Rumanian
trade conversations here with Italy
understood also to be seeking q
share Of this country's oil exports.
Germany, 1t was said, will chal-
lenge a Rumanian ban on ship
ments Of high-test aviation gaso-
line to the Reich-a measure which
Rumania was reported to have
taken to placate Great Britain and
France.
The German attitude toward Ru-
mania and all Southeastern Europe
will depend on the outcome OF
Clodius' talks, these informed quar-
tiers predicted.
It was understood that a govern
ment decree banning the fuel which
Germany needs for her machines Of
war had been issued-this in direct
contradiction to a recent oil export
agreement with Germany.
Goods Delays Reported.
Allied pressure in gaining this
Rumanian show of resistance tc
Germany's economic overtures was
said to have consisted of deliberate
delays in delivery of cotton, wool
jute and iron ore to Rumania, con-
fronting her industries with serious
losses.
The Rumanian ban was regarded
in London as giving the allies the
edge in the competition for Ruman-
ian oil.
Both the British and the. French
have pointedly informed Bucharest
that they might be compelled to re-
consider their guarantees of Ru-
mania against attack If King Carols
regime favored Germany on oil.
Allied concern has been height
ened by the fact that British and
French along with Americans and
other foreigners own 80 per cent OF
the Rumanian oil industry and the
allies were confronted with the pos
sibility that Rumania's new petro-
leum control board, armed with die
tatorial powers, would levy against
British and French production to Ill
Germany'S needs.
