GERMAN PEACE
IN RUMANIA IS
A NIGHTMARE
LONDON. Sept. 1. (Correspond
ence of the Associated Cress). "Wha
a German peace is like, is tin* heat
ing of an article written for the WeeV
ly Dispatch by Annie Carr, who ha
just arrived in London from Hucha)
est.
"I was in Bucharest when th«* Gei
mans entered the Rumanian capital,
she writes. "They had evidently df
eided that it would not he wise t
shock the world with another Belgian:
and they were* careful to keep thei
troops under control, but they wer
the masters. 1 remember a male frieni
of mine who was returning home fron
dinner in evening clothes being stop
ped in the streets in the middle of th
winter and compelled to sweep awa;
the snow for hours in the bitter cold
"Many a beautiful home was com
pletely wrecked. The Germans hat
no scruples about converting drawing
room into stables for their horses
and front gardens into cemeteries fo
their dead.
"Terrible atrocities were committet
by the Bulgarians, and the sufferings
of the prisoners they took were un
speakable, Of 80,000 Rumanians tak
en prisoners only 8,000 returned, and
they were in an appalling condition.
They were skeletons, scarcely able
to walk. At the station they seemed
too weak to eat or drink. When we
* offered them food they simply sank
i down onto a bench and hurst into
* i tears.
"it was a most tragic homecoming
' for the Rumanian soldiers, following
‘ 1 upon the crushing peace terms. It has
11 left on my mind an unforgettable 1m
' pression of what a German peace is
’ like. Those soldiers came back in
' rags and half starved to homes that
" had been reduced to poverty. They
had to witness in silence the Insolent
' hearing of the German soldiery in
their streets. The officers were told
they would either have to saluto the
’ German officers or take off their uni
■ forms. They preferred to take off
their uniforms.
1 "There are still plenty of German
I soldiers there looking fat and well
1 and at no pains to conceal their satis
■ faction at the conclusion of a peace
' which has put a crushing economic
r burden on Rumania and hound the
* country and its trade hand and foot
to the Germans. The one hope of the
I people is an allied victory."

Give Up Bells
ZURICH, Oct. 8.— Several Polish

Germans because they concealed their
church hells to prevent their conlisca

the prisoners have been brought to
trial. They were merely told that
they would have to remain In jail un
til the bells were found.
Some years ago Paderewski, the
pianist, gave a magnificent bell to the
church at Kansna. This the Austrians
have requisitioned to the intense in
dignatlon of the parishoners.

Last year about BO.000 tons were
■ shipped to the Cnited States during
the latter half of 1017. while further
quantities arc being manufactured
and shipped at the present time, but
these stocks will not suilice to keep
