NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, Bucharest, Menaced by Teutons’ Advance, IRON AND STEEL - Called the “Pocket Paris” of Europe KEEP UP ADVANCE V/IE Bucharest, the capital city of Rou- mania, menaced with capture by the Teutonic armies of Falkenhayn and Mackensen, offers the biggest munici- | pal prize in the Ball It is by the largest and the finest richest in that part of the world. The ‘Pocket Pari charest was called before war cast a damper on the gay spirits of the people, claims a population of about 350,000, which puts it in a class by itself among Balkan capitals. Athens has less than 200,000 people, Sofia about 100,000 and Belgrade, before it was devastated by war, had less than 100,000, while Cetinje, the Montene- grin capital, is but a village of folk. Until Roumania’s decision to enter the war brought serious matters up- permost, Bucharest was the gayest ar anad | ans. city warring as Bu- WS IN BUCHAREST city in Europe. Large numbers of her citizens had made fortunes out of the war, and they were liberal spen- der. Originally a squali meanly built city, like all the capitals of th near east, Bucharest has of late y sought to become a Balkan Paris and with a fair measure of success. Many fine public and business bulldings and private residences along the streets, and luxurious hotels, which charge $6 a day for the smallest rooms, are numerous, as are expensive restaur- ants, cabarets, theaters and dance halls. It is the metal plated cupo- los of the innumerable churches, how- ever, which give to Bucharest its most picturesque aspect in the eyes of the visitor from the west. Bucharest is 965 feet above sea lev- el, in the fertile but treeless plain of the small sluggish Dambovitza, and its situation is such as to render it diffi- cult of defense in time of war. An of fortifications, vears ago, sur- elaborate system commenced thirty rounds the city. Bucharest had a considerable population of German and Hungarian workmen, but most of these left to join the armies of the central empires before Roumania entered the war. At a luncheon General Falkenhayn gave to neutral correspondents he re- marked that, although “nothing in this world is so certain that one dare: predict anything with safety,” charest will be uncomfortable to be in when the Germans get their guns trained on i Pictures ow buildings in Buchar- est.

But it was soon evident Rumania had changed its mind. “Toward the end of August the Ru- manian minister to Bulgaria, G. C. who had been sent from a, returned and spread the report that the Rumanian government, in order to further good relations with Bulgaria, was ready to give back Dobrudia if Bulgaria would observe neutrality in case of war between a-Hungary and Rumania.
