b, the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST, Oct. 8.-Sir Regi-
nald Hoare, the British minister,
today asked the Rumanian govern
ment to "elucidate the situation
arising out Of the apparent inten-
ton to garrison German troops at
strategic places in Rumania."
In British omcial circles it was
said that the reply Of the Rumanian
government to this inquiry would
decide whether the British minister
would remain in Bucharest or
withdraw
These informants said "an intol-
cradle situation" has arisen for the
British in Rumania because of what
they describe as i'll treatment Of
British subjects, several Of whom
have been arrested recently.
The possibility was discussed that
the entire British Legation stan and
all British residents might be in
structed to leave Rumania II the

Model German Soldiers
Goina to Rumonid

BERLIN, Oct. 8 CP).-Model Ger
man troops are about to leave for
Rumania, authorized sources said to-
day, ito act both as a living exam
pie to the Rumanian Army and to
give the the Rumanian people alb
solute assurance Of the security at
home and abroad which is necessary
for reconstruction Of this severely
shattered state"
The number Of troops involved
was not disclosed.
In contradiction to yesterdays au-
thorized statement, these sources
said no German soldier was yet on
Rumanian soil, but that negotia-
tions were started Immediately
after the Vienna conference Sep
tember 80, when Rumania agreed
to territorial concessions to Hun
garia and Bulgaria.
The model German army in Ru-
mania, it was said, will consist Of
officers for instruction OF Rumanian
troops and soldiers who. by their
own personal bearing. will be an ex-
ample for Rumanians and able to
demonstrate the method of using
every form OF German weapon"
A tangle of half-smiling state
ments by German officials led neu-
trail observers to believe that per-
haps a few German soldiers might
already be in Rumania
AT rnctnrlatr hoH
said Germany has sent armed con-
tingents precautionary into Ru-
mania and limited that military pro-
lection of oil fields perhaps was the
prime motive.
Today an authorized spokesman
asserted 1T has not been said that
German troops are in Rumania'
and added that clarification of the
situation might be expected later
today.
To a question of what route any
troops might have taken. the spokes-
man only laughed and said every
thing still is completely unclear."
Rumanian officials in Bucharest
yesterday also held that reports OF
troop arrivals were premature.
The staff of the British Legation
numbers about 60 The British
colony totals between 300 and 400.
High German Army officials ar
rived today to make arrangements
for the coming within a week" of
a contingent of Nazi military experts
and soldiers who will assume the
task of training Rumanias Army to
guard this outpost of the axis new
order"
German Legation officials said the
troops would arrive inside a week,
but declared their numbers and the
quantity of equipment were being
grossly exaggerated"

REVIEW OF 1905

1t is undoubtedly with feel
ing of great relief that all of us
have hidden goodbye to the tur-
bulent thirties and likewise it is
with hopeful anticipation that
we have greeted the beginning
of the forties-may they become
known as the fortunate forties
Surely there was little about
the last decade to make anyone
except probably the job-hold-
ing New Dealers-regret the
passage of the thirties. These
years constituted oen of the re-
dictionary periods of world his
tory, marked by discord and un-
rest throughout the world and at
home-a period in which man.
kind slipped backwards in its
quest for the better things Of
life.
1t was a period in which the
demagogue and the bold buffer
l.ourished-when many people
did their thinking through their
emitions instead of their heads
when the gilden promise was
mistaken for gold-when men
and women forgot the things
their forefathers had learned by
bitter experience, in both this
and other lands,
Peace Efforts. Collapse
The thirties saw the complete
collapse of efforts to maintain
peace through international or
ganization and solemn pledges.
All the high hopes raised on the
world peace front during the
twenties by BRAND, Macdonald,
Hughes, Kellogg, Hoover and
Stresman were dashed during
the last ten years and now the
words Kellogg BRAND Peace
Pact, Nine Power Treaty, Gene
va, disarmament, collective Sc

back to mock us.

tive government lost ground

NOrthfOrk Has Big Fire

; The large brick building on
the corner near the bridge in
Northfork occupied by Samuels
Store and several other business
es caught fire near midnight and
burned fiercely all the rest of
the night. The second story of
this building was made into
apartments, which were empty
at the time of the fire. The
lClark Development company own
ed the building we understand.
For man wears the building
has obstructed Improvement of
Route SO through the town and
been the cause of traffic being
bottle-necked at the corner and
if the building is to be rebuilt
it is hoped that this condition
be remeded, although there are
several other buildings in the
row which project too much to-
wards Elkhorn creek.

The other members of Key
stones Fire Department and of
Northfork's were all there and
did fine work, as the whole town
would have been endangered if
the fire got out of control.
1t is worthy of remarking
that since Mr. Galloway has had
charge of the fire-truck of ours
it has been a most dependable
item of machinery, how the
wind sets this election we can't
predict but Mr.. Galloway should
be retained in his present post.

West Virginians should be
alert to the propaganda emant-
ing today from the office of the
Secretary of State Cordcll Hull
in defense of his indefensible
trade treaties" declared Robert
II. {. Kay, Republican State
Chairman, in discussing Il recent
story widely published in this
state purporting to show how
West Virginia has been benefit
ed by Hu's free trade policies.
Mr.. Hull's statement filled to
the brim with gencralities and
nothing else of value, can best
be answered by West Virginia
workmcn i'm mill, mine and fac
tory who have been throw out of
work because the former Ameri-
ca markets were flooded with the
products of foreign countries
which drive honestly made and
decently paid-for American COM
modities out.
Let Mr., Hull convince the
miners who have lost the dig
ging of ten or twelve million tons
of coal year through the i'm
portation of coal from red Rus
STA; let him talk with West Vir-
, ginia miners who. alone, have
lost II to Is million dollars in
wages because cheap oil, under
! a typical trade treaty, has dis
placed about. Is million tons OF
coal annually" Kay continued.
"These miners will quickly
point out how disastrous the
Hull policy has been to them.
"The State Departments pro-
paganda states that exports
from West Virginia, and from
all of the United States, drop
ped heavily along in 1892, and
consequently earnings fell off,
and SO did purchasing power.
That statement is true; but the
decrease was not caused by trade
policieS-it was the aftermath
of the first World War, the eff
feet of Il worldwide depression.
"Sincc 1882, the rest Of the
world has been pulling out Of the
depression; but not the United
States. In 1888, our Industrial
production was only 73 per cent
of what it had been in 1929;
while that Of England was 1l5
per cent; that Of little Poland
1T per cent; that Of Denmark
1875 per cent. Out Of a score Of
industrial nations, the United
States, in 1888, ranked just a
bout at the bottom in point of
recovery. o.. -.

more money for buying our

MANI
The Republican party enters
the New Year with boundless
faith in America and in the
soundness and integrity of the
American institutions. The party
is united and militant as never
before, it's head held high, fac
ing a future of new economic
frontiers which await only a
wise and constructive leader
ship for exploration and develop
ment. Individual Republicans of
all classes, coolrs and creeds are
girded for the battle that lies
ahead. g..
with reverence tor the wisdom
Our house is in order, hushed
and virtues of the fundamental
concepts of democracy and yet
alert TO the social demands and
obligations of an advancing age.
Our house harbors no alien 'isms'
and neither is it a haven for any
group, however powerful, which
would subvert the American
system. !. We face the crucial
campaign year of 1910 proud
that we have not sold the day
to serve the hour, and iterating
our pledge that we will not COM
promise high principle in order
to attain Temporary political gain.
AS we enter the New Year, we
are conscious Of our great and
solemn responsibility and are
prepared to meet the challenge of
the time just as the Republican
party has met every challenge
to American democracy for
eighty years. .-~
1t is a source Of great salts
faction to us to learn from our
National Chairman that the
party's financial deficit has been
wiped out and that we thus en-
ter the campaign of 1910 with
our finances in order. The prompt
and generous way in which Re-
publicans from all walks of life
answered the appeal for elimina-
ton of the deficit indicates the
spirit Of militancy that pervad-
es our party.
I am particularly happy to re-
ort that West Virginia Republi-
cans met their responsibility
in this matter, and we are proud
that the subscriptions to meet
this deficit came voluntarily
from a patriotic people and not
from any two per cent clubs
nor at the expense of human
misery.

a banner one for Republicanism
and Americanism The New Deal
has run it's course. 1t has repudi-
ated every one Of its promises
to the American people. 1t has
failed to meet the problems of
unemployment and financial
solvency. It has INSTITUTED chao-
