BUCHAREST, Rumania, December 1.—\While the Leggue of Nations is urging the necessity of disarmament upon the world, Rumania has devoted $49,000,000 to war purposes in the coming year, which is $6,000,000 more Specials! unusual but un- than last vear, and more than one. fifth the entire budget, totaling $240,- 000,000, At the :same time only one-eighth of rhe budget, which was issued yes- terday, is devoted to education, the war appropriations heading all others. The government defends this huge ex- penditure _for military. purposes on the ground that Rumania constantly is menaced over a wide front by bolshe- viks, and may at any moment, on another front, be dragzged into con- flict, if Ttaly should attack Jugoslaviz or it the Soviets should engage Po- 1and in hostilities. “Over a border of nearly 500 miles,” said a government official, “we are guardians of the gate for Europe against the entry of bolsheviks. The expenditure of $49,000.000 is not to provoke war, but to preserve peace.” Holds Court From Bed. Corregpondence of the Associated Press. PORT CLINTON, Ohio.—Justice R. 8.

The Russians, it was urged, could have felt little uneasiness in submit- ting a program of self-sacrifice which they knew they would not be called upon to make. but which they hoped would show the world how wicked “capitalistic nations” are and how g00d and peace-loving are the Soviets.
