CLAIMS MANY
NATIONALITIES
■ ■■ “
BUCHAREST, July 8 (by Associat
ed Press).—Rumania, with the addi
tion of the provinces of Bessarabia,
Bukovina, Transylvania, the Banat
and Dobrudja, is now a country of at
least 10 distinct nationalities. In its
parliament are seen peasants with
white kirtle and embroidered vests
and leggings remindful of the red In
dian, sittng together wth red fezzed
Turks.
"It is specially in the Dobruja that
these different nationalities jostle to
gether,” said Queen Maria of Ruman
ia. "Together with Rumanians, live
peacefully side by side, Bulgarians,
Turks, Tartars, Russians, and in
places even Germans.
“I have been to a village in the
Dobrudja which was part Rumanian,
part Russian, part German and part
Turkish. I went from one side to an
other, visiting many a cottage, enter
ing each church, ending my round in
the tiny mosque hung with faded
carpets, and there in a crowd of lowly
Turks I listened to their curious ser
vice, of which I understood naught.
A woman who is not veiled has no
right to enter the holy precinct; but
a royal name opens many a door, and
many a service rule is broken in the
joy of receiving so unusual a guest.
“On a burning summer’s day I came
to a tiny town almost entirely inhabi
ted by Turks. I was distributing
money among the poor and forsaken,
and had been moving from place to
place. Now it was the turn of the
Mussulman population, therefore, I
visited the most wretched quarters,
my hands filled with many a coin.
“Such was their joy at my coming
that the real object of my visit was

ed by a swarm of exicited women in
strange attire, prattling a language
I could not understand.
“They called me Sultana, and each
one wanted to touch me; they fin
gered my clothes, patted me on the
back, one old hag even chucked me
under the chin. They drew me with
them from hut to hut, from court to
court. I found myself separated from
my companions, wandering in a world
1 had never known. In a labyrinth
of tiny mud-built huts, of ridiculously
small gardens, of hidden little courts,
they dragged me with them, making
me enter their hovels, put my hand
on their children and sit down.
“The poorer Mussulman women are
not really veiled. They wear wide
cotton trousers, and over these a sort
of mantle which they hold together
under the nose. The shape of these
mantles gives them that indescrib
able line, so agreeable to the eye, and
which alone belongs to the East. Also
the colors they choose are always har
monious; they are toned down to
their surroundings by sun and dust.
They wear strange dull blues and
mauves—even their blacks are not
really black, but have taken rusty
tints that mingle pleasingly with the
mud-colored environment in which
they dwell.
“When attired for longer excursions
their grab is generally black, with a
snow-white cloth on their heads,
wrapped in such a manner that it
conceals the entire face, except the
eyes. Indescribably picturesque and
mysterious are these dusky figures,
generally carrying a heavy staff in
their hands; there is something bibi
cal about them, something that takes
one back to far awray times.”
ITALY ADYERTISED
BY FLOATING FAIR
ROME, July 8 (by Associated
Press).—A floating fair has been or
ganized by the Italian government and
will visit Tunis, Algiers, Tangier,
Lisbon, Barcelona, Marseilles and
Genoa. It will carry samples of all
the products Italy can export and will
remain from four to seven days at
each port. Orders will be despatched
to producers by wireless, thus enabl
ing the buyers to receive an answer
the same day.
It the undertaking is successful, as
it is confidently expected, it will be,
another floating fair will be sent to
North America, another to Brazil
Uruguay and Argentina and a third
one to Antilles, Venezuela, Peru and
Chili.

ARGENTINE RECEIVES
‘VITAL YANKEE TONE’
THRU STUDENTS HERE
- — „ ■—
BUENOS AIRES, July 9 (by As
sociated Press).—Young Argentines
by the thousands ought to be sent to
North American universities, says
La Prensa, “in order to assimilate the
manners of work, the methods of
scientific investigation, the rapidity
of execution and above all the vigor
and eager vitality that characterizes
North American life.”
Out of 6,636 foreign students now
enrolled in the larger universities of
the United States, only 14 are Argen
tines, says the newspaper. Argentines
have been called the “Yankees of
South America” by other countries
of the continent but these figures go
to disprove the statement that “the
vital. Yankee tone” with which the
Argentine people are credited has
been transmitted by Argentine youths
who have returned from North Amer
ican centers of learning.
“The character of Argentine energy
is not a consequence,” continues La
Prensa, “of an imitation of the push
ing North American life. Our progress
is due to our own effort, the effort
of Argentines and assimilated for
eigners who reside among us. And
until now, when happily the North
Americans are beginning to direct
their action towards this country, the
influence of capital has been Euro
pean, especially English.
“But there is no doubt that it
would be beyond measure advanta
geous to found in the spirit of our
people some of that vigor and speed
which North Americans know how to
put in all their activities.”
Even “progressive and agile
France,” learned a lesson in celerity
of initiative from the United States
during the war, says the paper, add
ing the initiative of Argentines, “suf
fers from that slowness, that excess
of criticism, those discouragements
and vacillations peculiar to the Latin 1
race.”
LOCKWOOD APPEARS IN
LAST SCREEN PICTURE
Complete change of program to
night. In “The Great Romance” the
Empress offers an attraction of un
questionable merit. Lockwood had a
young role in this creen classic, typ
ical of the fine, enthusiastic Ameri
can, cultured, high-minded and am
bitious. Democratic and unpreten
tious, he suddenly finds himself king
of a country he has despised and de
nounced. His heritage does not at
all appeal to him, but to rescue the
girl he loves, he decides to accept.
How he does this and adventures that
overtake him are cleverly brought to
a startling climax which will grip and
hold the imagination of all who see
it. The ending has a twist different
from any feature this brilliant actor
has appeared in. This big Lockwood
special was finished just before he
died and it is conceded that the
screen’s most genuine and delightful
character is seen at his best in this
story of intrigue, love, power tnd
romance. In addition to this drama
of six acts, is offered a Pathe News.
The most pathetic predicament to
be placed in is to be forced to listen *
to a man who thinks he can sing,
when his memory is so short that he
has forgotten that he lost his voice
years ago.
