Rumanians, Loaded
With Booty, Return

War Is Over for Them,
Except for ; Corps

BY ERNEST G. FISCHER,

Associated Press War Correspondent.
WITH THE RUMANIAN ARMY
AT TIRASPOL, Occupied Russia,
October 81 Delayed Day and
night the tramp of boots and the
clatter of horseshoes echo through
the cobblestoned streets Of this
ancient city on the Dniester as
section of the Rumanian armed
forces, loaded with booty, returns
home from Russian conquests.
Rumanian officers say the Russian
war is over for them except for a
cavalry corps, and perhaps two more
corps, which will continue to rep
resent Rumania in what they call
common European front against
bolsheviSm."

Apparently the Rumanians regard
their territorial ambitions satisfied
with an advance to the Bug River
from so to 100 miles beyond their
1899 frontier at the Dniester.
Column Strung Out 20 Miles.
One returning contingent was
strung out for approximately 20
miles and was hours passing through
this city. These troops were afoot
and mounted, but mostly rode hum
dreds of horse-drawn wagons taken
as war booty in the Ukraine.
In contrast to the highly motorized
army still moving eastward one
westbound Rumanian unit had about
a dozen 15-centimeter (5.9-inch)
cannon drawn by oXon.
Rumanians claimed the decrepit
wagons. loaded with fodder and
drawn by wiry little horses, mostly
were taken from them when the
Russians annexed Bessarabia a year
ago.
The stream OF horses, however.
appeared to be an ill-omen for the
coming year, for one can ride for
hours through the fertile farm lands
Of the Dniester Valley without seeing
a single horse in the fields.
The land remains unplowed and
unseeded. farmers said, because both
their work animals and their tractors
have been pressed into war service.
(TThis would appear to mean
hat the Germans will draw very
little grain from their Ukraine
conquests for another year at
least. Most Of the wheat grown
IN the Ukraine is winter wheat,

Now these war-weary horses. be-
fore the wistful eyes of Ukrainian
farmers, were being prodded across
the Dniester.
One irony of this war is that one
portion of Russia settled mostly by
Germans has been conquered by the
Rumanians. Between here and
Odessa our party passed through a

as Mannheim, Alsace and Strasburg
