His article, which is headed “Roumania’'s Falling Quotations,” sum- marizes the #ituation in the following paragraph: “Those friedly relations with Roumania made sacred by tradition and—on the German side, by firm confidence—ca hardly longer be considered as existing. Count Reventlow points out Rou- mania's refusal to permit exports of grain or to permit ammunition for the Turks to pass through its territory, al- though Russia was permitted to trans- ship munitions to Serbla. He says It had been hoped Roumania would fulfill New York City Flooded.

In the helght of the gale a small schooner went to the pottom. Its captain and a sallor were drowned in a small poat.
