Bucharest, Dec. 9.—The question of the nationalization of the sub-soil in Rumania, which is in effect the problem of whether the unexploited mine-bear. ing formations shall be declared the property of the state, will shortly be taken before the national assembly as a result of the investigation of the com- misson for reform ®f the Constitution.

The nature of the report to be made by the commission,is not known, but op- ‘ponents of the measure threaten to de. frat the government should it be favor. able to M. Bratiano's policy. {#uto Smashes Fefice; y Hangs on Cliff Edge An automobile, said to be owned by 'J. B.

SPORT OF PEASANTS Shooting, Once Pastime of Aristocracy, Now Enjoyed by Masses in Austria. Vienna, Dec. 9.~Once the sport only of the aristocracy, shooting is becoming the pastime of the masses in Austria. Few countries are ‘so plentifully stocked | with game of every kind, furred and feathered, and the large states have been splendidly presgrved for centuries. The great European stag, smaller deer, and chamois are still abundant, snipe and other gamebifds, not to mention the great flocks of wild fowl along the Danube and the marshy lakes, furnish excellent sport. Today many of the once rich land owners are no longer able to. keep up their shootings, with the necessary armies of gamekeepers and other heavy expenses and the properties are being rented. Of those offered this autumn, 16 large estates have been taken over by peasant shooting clubg.
